About Virgo
Virgo is the sixth Sign of the Zodiac, to be exact, and that's the
way Virgos like it: exacting. Those born under this Sign are forever
the butt of jokes for being so picky and critical (and they can
be), but their 'attention to detail' is for a reason: to help others.
Virgos, more than any other Sign, were born to serve, and it gives
them great joy. They are also tailor-made for the job, since they
are industrious, methodical and efficient. The sense of duty borne
by these folks is considerable, and it ensures that they will always
work for the greater good.
Virgo is represented in modern Astrology by the Virgin, although
this association should not be taken literally. Rather, Virgos tend
to take on some of the qualities of a Virgin, things like modesty
and humanity. Some might consider them repressed, although Virgins
would argue that it's a noble quality, as opposed to a negative
one. Most of all, Virgos enjoy indulging their practical and logical
side and poring over their projects to the nth degree. To say these
folks are good at fact-finding almost understates the case, since
Virgos revel in their exacting (some would argue pedantic) behavior
and are a whiz with minutiae. Virgins are an asset in the workplace
as they can be counted on to get things right the first time, every
time -- and no detail will be overlooked. They are also balanced
and fair in their assessments in keeping with the Mutable Quality
assigned to this Sign.
Virgo is ruled by the Planet Mercury, and as portrayed in ancient
Roman mythology, Mercury wasn't one to sit still for long. This
swift-footed god was a bundle of energy, both physically and mentally,
and that pretty much sums up the Virgin's makeup. A Virgo's brain
is in overdrive most of the time, which is why these folks get so
much done. Those born under this Sign are also able communicators
and use their mental acuity to maximum advantage. All of this brainpower
can make Virgins prone to skepticism, and can even lead to the kind
of overthink which surely leads to overkill. Thankfully, though,
Virgos are also a studious lot and can temper their worst impulses
with a bit of careful analysis. Virgos enjoy studying a situation
in great detail, whether it's a work project or a friendship. Virgins
are truly interested in understanding things. The bane of many Virgos
is the perfectionism which can get in the way of their usual clear
thinking. 'I'm not a perfectionist; I'm discriminating!' a Virgo
would say, happy in the knowledge that their taste is unparalleled.
Along those lines, Virgos are also neat and clean, save for the
occasional sloppy Virgin (they do exist). Virgins are also reliable
and practical and oh-so-useful to have around.
The Element associated with Virgo is Earth, and in keeping with
that, most Virgos are grounded, salt-of-the-earth types. The flash
and dash can go to others, since Virgos would much rather be humble
and easy-going. That said, Virgins do enjoy material possessions
and are (dare we say?) picky about what they bring into their lives.
Some might even go as far as calling them self-centered, but it's
really more of a desire to surround themselves with what's right
-- for them. This knack for discernment also serves Virgins well
in business, where their decisions are usually dead-on. Those born
under this Sign are eminently sensible and use their critical eye
well. While Virgins can be worrywarts, they do their best to temper
these impulses. However, if this nervousness goes unchecked, it
can lead to hypochondria, that ugly skeleton in the Virgo's closet.
For that reason, Virgos are extremely health conscious, to the point
of being storehouses of information on diet and hygiene. Many Virgos
even choose a health or medical career so they won't miss a beat.
Working out is elemental for Virgins, if only so they know intellectually
that they're helping themselves physically. See, the benefits of
exercise are far more important to Virgos than the process itself.
That's why Virgos are likely to time themselves on their runs and
get in those 300 sit-ups every day. When it comes to the game of
love, Virgos are able to loosen up somewhat and are devoted to their
lovers, even if they can be a bit jealous. Since Virgo rules the
intestines, worried Virgins need to be wary of bowel upsets. Soothing
relief often comes in the way of earth tones, which is why Virgins
like to be surrounded by shades of tan and a warm yellow.
The great strength of the Virgo-born is in their practicality,
sharp mind and attention to detail. When merged with their willingness
to serve, Virgos become essential helpmates. They can be picky --
so what?
