Virgo
August 23 - September 22
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.
