Virgos are not coldhearted or indifferent. �They are loving and even slightly grasping about their love objects. Virgos are both sensual and gentle people. �But what is so peculiar to Virgos is their ability to penetrate the fog of subjective thinking that surrounds emotion-laden situations. �Run up to a Virgo and cry, "My house is ablaze! �My children are inside! �Help! �Do something!" �The Virgo: �"Where do you keep your ladder?" �Practical and down-to-earth, the Virgo can be looked to by almost any of the rest of us hysterics to keep calm and do the right thing.

Because Virgo people are methodical, they enjoy living in organized and pleasantly decorated surroundings. �They are concerned with precision and enjoy keeping order. �Meticulous to a fault, Virgo has to struggle to accept untidiness. �Virgo eschews mess.

Often people in high positions in industry turn out to be born under the sign of Virgo. �In power, however, Virgos sometimes have trouble getting along with their coworkers. �They have difficulty communicating their displeasure without being biting and critical. �If a Virgo boss thinks John acted badly at the office party, he may call him on the carpet, saying something like "John, you acted like a perfect idiot last Friday night. �This behavior of yours is pathological. �You had seventeen Scotches!" �Diplomatic, Virgos are not. �But their ability to analyze complex situations is, as evidenced by this trouncing speech, at the least astute.

Virgos are gifted for art appreciation and are very often creative. �They have good taste and know how to judge fine quality. �Often Virgos have collections of delicate antiques or precision instruments. �They know how to take care of things and can be trusted to return borrowed items.

In the shortcoming department, Virgos may like to gamble, try drugs or dabble in the seamier sides of life. �Virgos can become addicts and near-residents of casinos. �Drugs have a seductive effect on them. �A desire to alter Virgo's rigid consciousness? �A need to vacate? �La nostalgie de la boue? �Whatever. �Virgos must be on guard against self-destructive tendencies.

Virgos can be terrible snobs. �For some reason, Virgos often think themselves separate and not-so-equal beings in relation to the rest of the world. �They like to have "important" friends and tend to stick up their noses at "trashy" people. �Perhaps, as Virgos are so orderly, anybody slightly less exacting seems beneath them. �In any case, I always feel that Virgos need a good tickle. �They are a bit on the stiff side and could stand to have a turquoise popsicle melted over their heads.
