| Virgo |
| Virgo is the sixth sign of the Zodiac, to be exact, and that's the way virgos like it; exactly.Those born under this sign are forever the butt of the jokes for being picky and so 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. Althought 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 endulging their practical and logical side and poring over their project to the nth degree. To say these folks are good at fact finding almost understates the case, since virgos reveal in their exciting (some would argue padantic) behavior and are a whiz with minutiae. Virgins are an asset in the work place cause they can be counted on to get things right the first time, everytime -- and no detail will be overlooked. They are also balanced and fair in their assesments in keeping with the mutable quality assigned to the sign. Virgo is ruled by the planet Mercury, and as portrayed in ancient roman mythology, Mercury wasn't one to sit still for long. The swift footed god was a bundle of energy, both physically and emotionally, and that pretty much sums up the virgins make-up. A virgo's brain is in overdrive most of the time, which is why these folks get so much done. Those borne under this sign are also able communicators and use their mental acuity to maximum advantage. All this brainpower can make virgins prone to skepticism, and can even lead to the kind of overthinking 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 truely interested in understanding things. The bane of many virgos is the perfectionism which can get in their way of usual clear thinking. I'm not a perfectionist: I'm discriminating! a virgo would say, happy in the knowledge that their taste is unparralleled. Along those lines, virgos are also neat and clean, save for the occassion 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 virgins 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 to enjoy material possessions, and are (dare we say?) picky about what they bring into their lives. Some might 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 Virgoes 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 benifits 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 come to the game of love, Virgo are able to lossen 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 practicallity, sharp mind and attention to detail. When merged with their willingness to serve, Virgos become essential helpmates. They can be picky -- so what? |
