Virgo individuals need to apply what is said in Ethics of the Fathers: "It is not your duty to complete the work, but neither are you free to desist from it," meaning that it is incumbent upon a person to study the Torah, and even if they have not completed the entire Torah, they earn reward for the effort involved in the study they have managed.
