The Virgin (August 23 - September 22)
| The popular image of Virgos as people who are picky, critical, and compulsively tidy, is misleading. If one or all of these traits manifest obviously, the natal chart reveals other aspects that enhance this characteristic. Virgos equal Geminis in mental quickness and agility. Due to their attention to detail, they tend to delve more deeply into subjects they study. Even though they are career-oriented people, they seem to be more interested in doing their jobs efficiently and well. They are happiest when engaged in something that benefits society at large. In other words, duty is important to Virgos. They tend to be attracted to people who are intellectually stimulating or eccentric in some way. Their standards are high when it comes to romantic relationships and unless the mental connection exists, the relationship won't last long. Since Virgos, like Geminis are Mercury ruled, they need outlets for all that nervous energy. Writing, pets, reading, and education all serve this purpose. They usually have slender builds and are physically attractive. There may be a sharpness about their features. Since Virgos fret and worry so much, their physical ailments usually manifest first in their stomachs. Colic in infancy, stomach upsets as a youngster, ulcers as an adult. But because Virgos are generally fussy about their diet and health, they grow into their innate wisdom about their own bodies. |
