Virgo is the critic of the
Zodiac...the analyst and the purist. Individuals ruled by this Sign
are the servants, custodians and perfecters of culture, in search
of complete realization of the mind. They are logical, practical
and methodical, possessing a strong sense of order and
organization, coupled with a love of technological advances and
anything associated with the state of the art. Virgo natives have a
tendency to allow their intellect to subrogate their instincts, but
they are theorists and masters of extrapolation and deduction. In
short, those governed by this Sign of the Zodiac are nothing short
of perfectionists. They want their environments, as well as their
lives, to be neat and tidy. They excel in sorting the "wheat from
the chaff" and delight in planning, sorting, classifying and
storing. Usually very serious individuals, Virgo subjects are
indefatigable workers with a strong sense of duty. Their need to
serve and be useful is so strong, that they often suffer greatly
when such is thwarted. This characteristic, together with the
inherent capacity for critical insight, makes for adept healers.
However, because Virgo individuals are frequently blessed with
superb manual skills, they also make for fine technicians. Those
governed by this Sign possess an innate refinement, but there is
also a nervous sensitivity here. These are worriers who are prone
to pronounced mood swings. Virgo natives may pose large questions
but usually refuse to take large risks. Cautious and conservative,
they prefer small-scale plans to grand strategies. Subjects of this
Sign are rooted in the present and amenable to change only after
meticulous forethought. In short, they will not willingly court
disappointment.
Virgo natives search constantly for worthy goals to pursue.
Self-perfecting individuals, who are punctual and reliable, those
ruled by this Sign frequently reside alone, feeling that nobody
could possibly wish to live with someone who is not yet perfect
enough. In addition, they are often their own worst critics and aim
for the highest standards. There is an innate sense here to quickly
discern when something is amiss and there will be no rest for
anyone until order has been restored. Virgo individuals tend to
"nag" somewhat, but that is truly only an indication of the
affection these natives have for the object of their "nagging."
Basically shy and modest, those governed by this Sign are prone to
hide their deep sensuality behind a rather cool and critical
exterior. Nonetheless, these are friendly souls...albeit somewhat
reserved and thoughtful...who can display flashes of gregariousness
and are attractive to the opposite sex. Virgo is the sign of
abundance, but its natives always appear to have to work hard to
attain it. They are excellent organizers who like to keep lists,
collect meticulous details and are often "faddy" regarding food.
There is also a tendency to worry about health. Being superbly
adaptable, Virgo natives can turn their hand to almost anything and
may easily become skilled to masterly levels. However, the typical
Virgo is likely to work incognito. Over and above any other Zodiac
Sign, it is probably those who governed by Virgo who insist upon
being treated with respect. They admire dignity and itellect, and
the surest way to win the esteem and confidence of these
individuals is to pay court to their intelligence. Blessed with a
fine sense of honor, they will never betray a trust but are adept
at discovering disagreeable facts and will not be averse to
divulging them...particularly if there is a personal point to be
gained. Once a Virgo native looses confidence in another, it is
hard for that individual to regain it.
Although possessed with the ability to sum up a situation or person
at a glance, Virgo subjects are likely to keep their own counsel.
Those who are well-acquainted with Virgo natives will love them for
their fairness, but to those who will never come close to knowing
the Virgo subject, he or she will always remain an enigma...a man
or woman of mystery. The basic outlook here is slanted toward
practical considerations in every facet of daily life. Hidden
beneath the quiet and modest surface, however, is a deep-seated
desire for emotional expression of an intensely dramatic nature.
Thus, Virgo individuals who participate in the Arts...particularly
the theater...find immense happiness and release in this outlet for
their inner selves. Capable of generous and unselfish friendships,
those ruled by Virgo are apt to withdraw within themselves on
occasions and leave others guessing. Some people may be frightened
by the inherent Virgo tendency to fault-find, but these natives can
also give praise and their judgment is usually highly valued. Virgo
natives are generally mild-tempered souls, but can be fussy and
fretful about minor irritations and may inwardly seethe over major
ones.
Travel is inevitable for Virgo natives, given that Mercury is their
"guiding star." Indeed, there are probably more Virgo subjects far
from their native habitat than can be found in any other Sign.
Thus, these individuals tend to do well in any career which takes
them abroad and away from their homelands. Nevertheless, there will
always remain a romantic love for the country of birth. On the
surface at least, those governed by this Sign may well be perceived
as the most calm and level-headed of the Zodiac as well as being
the most likely to react quickly to danger. Most individuals ruled
by Virgo are by nature acquisitve, gathering possessions and money,
and saving hard for a rainy day. Impeccable, methodical, studious
and quick to learn, Virgo natives should follow their star by being
true to themselves in all things. To attain true happiness, they
should never settle for second best.
At their most negative, Virgo natives can be pessimistic, depressed
or even destructive. They are blessed with powerful creative
drives, but such drives are often handicapped by the need to
control and perfect. At worst, the inherent order-loving nature can
make them cold, introverted, punctilious, moralistic, overly
fastidious, compulsive about personal health and cleanliness,
obsessed with organization and mired in petty details. The Virgo
quality of perfectionism can sometimes turn to cold-blooded
ruthlessness and, on occasion, those governed by this Sign, having
an object in view, will stop at nothing to attain it. Virgo natives
of the higher type usually possess a rare psychic power. They are
also capable of seeing through pretense. If the intellectual and
spiritual side of the Virgo nature can be fully cultivated, then
its natives will become wonderfully charming, magnetic and powerful
individuals who prefer to entertain their friends rather than be
entertained.
One of the pitfalls faced by those who fall within the jurisdiction
of this Sign is a tendency to rehearse for life rather than
actually live it. The Virgo belief is one that dictates they will
never be sufficiently prepared to take full advantage when an
opportunity presents itself when, in fact, these natives actually
do themselves a gross disservice by not realizing that their fine
intellects, fully developed or not, are more than a match for most
challenges. Perhaps the true challenge for Virgo subjects is to
expand their perspective beyond mere details in order to fully
appreciate the larger order and underlying pattern of creation.
Thus, they will be able to marvel at the abundance and diversity of
the world. Individuals who can accomplish this will undoubtedly
recognize the goals worthy of service and can then serve with
devotion. In so doing, they will temper intellect with
reverence.
The secret fear of Virgo subjects is that they will be found
wanting or that it will be discovered that they need someone. In
general, however, this is an unassuming Sign which produces hard
workers who can serve unflinchingly while giving of their
hearts.
