| | Mizuno Ami - Astrology and Mythology (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23) |
 | | Ami is a Virgo (Virgo - the Virgin - sixth sign of the zodiac), and fits the description of the stereotypical Virgo perfectly: hard-working, conscientious, and organized, with an analytical, logical, level-headed mind and a quiet, down-to-earth personality. |
 | | The ruling planet of Virgo is Mercury, which is why Ami is Senshi of that planet, and her favorite precious stone, the sapphire, is the stone for Virgos. |
 | | Although I don't think Takeuchi-san was thinking about this when she decided that Ami's future career goal was to become a doctor, Hermes is also connected with healing - he is typically portrayed as a beautiful nude youth with winged sandals, a shining helmet, and a staff with two white ribbons twined around it. |
