When you are born
with the Sun in Virgo, it may seem that people are forever misunderstanding
your tactful suggestions. After all you are only trying to help by pointing
out a more practical and efficient way of doing things. This happens to
be one of your talents. You have the ability to see what is wrong and
fix it, after careful analysis of course. Everyone enjoys the results.
They do not like to hear about the details of how you were able to achieve
them.
Virgo is an earthy
practical sign and taking good care of one’s health just makes sense.
How can you do your job if you don’t feel well? Opening the medicine
cabinet of a Virgo is like visiting a pharmacy or health food center.
They have researched each product and can tell you why it should be on
your shelves. Virgo generally has good health. They will tell you it is
the result of good health practices. An unhappy Virgo can imagine all
kinds of ills and take elaborate means to avoid germs and disease.
Most Virgos are good
natured, helpful and honest in their friendships. Your high standards
are reflected in the way you approach learning about the world. You develop
a variety of skills, which you continue to improve. Lucky the person who
has you for a neighbor! You love tools and know how to use them and you
know exactly where they are stored and are willing to help or teach others
how to fix things. You like to help others and are a born teacher with
exacting standards. Virgo teachers may not be appreciated at the time
but years later their students are still singing their praises.
You are seeking perfection
in romance, yet may not feel you deserve this perfect person. Some Virgos
are slow to make a final commitment because they notice little flaws that
drive them crazy. Anyone who isn’t willing to be under scrutiny and
continually urged to improve had best fall in love with another sign.
However, some signs treasure the opportunity to have someone who cares
enough to help them to reach their highest potential. It is all in the
perception.
As a Virgo parent
you will accept the responsibility to teach your child ethics, manners,
good citizenship and other life-skills. Hours will be spent teaching crafts
and hobbies or helping with homework. A high value is placed on education
and learning a trade. If you are someone’s Virgo boss, you fall into
this category. Just when your hapless employee thinks they have it just
right, you will have a suggestion about how the method can be improved.
It came to you in the middle of the night. You are working on perfection
even in your sleep. Everyone has known Virgos who do not
fit this description.
A quick look at all
of the planets on the day of the birthday will reveal the influence of
other factors. You are basically rather shy and have to train yourself
to be more social with people you don’t know very well. Once you
do choose your life’s work, you are sought after by others who value
the level of perfection you bring to whatever you do. While you are young,
you may be reluctant to take on a lot of responsibility. You seem to sense
that once you take on the role of responsible adult you will have a difficult
time taking a day off for fear the job will not get done properly.
The planet Mercury
is said to “rule” the sign Virgo. (It also rules Gemini). It
is the planet that symbolizes the mental process, the way you think and
communicate. Mercury is never far from your Sun sign Virgo. It is usually
in the same sign or the previous sign, Leo, or the next sign Libra. You
will express your Virgo characteristics differently if Mercury is in Leo
or Libra than if it is in your own sign, Virgo. It is necessary to know
your birthday and year to know Mercury’s sign on your birthday. A
more detailed and complete chart calculated for the date, exact time,
and place of birth will reveal the unique person that you are.
