Virgo is the sixth Sign of the Zodiac, to be exact, and that's the way
Virgos like it: exacting. Those born under this Sign are forever the butt of
jokes for being so picky and 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 the only zodiacal sign represented
by a female. It is sometimes thought of as a potentially creative girl,
delicately lovely; sometimes as a somewhat older woman, intelligent but
rather pedantic and spinsterish. The latter impression is sometimes
confirmed by the Virgoan preciseness, refinement, and fastidious love of
cleanliness, hygiene and good order, conventionality and aristocratic
attitude of reserve. They are usually observant, shrewd, critically
inclined, judicious, patient, practical supporters of the status quo, and
tend toward conservatism in all departments of life. On the surface, they
are emotionally cold, and sometimes this goes deeper, for their habit of
suppressing their natural kindness may in the end cause it to atrophy, with
the result that they shrink from committing themselves to friendship, make
few relationships, and those they do make they are careful to keep
superficial.
However, the outward lack of feeling may, in some individuals born under
this sign, conceal too much emotion, to which they are afraid of giving way
because they do not trust others, nor do they have confidence in themselves
and their judgments. This is because they are conscious of certain
shortcomings in themselves of worldliness, of practicality, of
sophistication and of outgoingness. Therefore, they bring the art of
self-concealment to a high pitch, hiding their apprehensiveness about
themselves and their often-considerable sympathy with other people under a
mantle of matter-of-factness and undemonstrative, quiet reserve. They are
still waters that run deep. Yet, in their unassuming, outwardly cheerful and
agreeable fashion, they can be sensible, discreet, well spoken, wise and
witty, with a good understanding of other people's problems, which they can
tackle with a practicality not always evident in their own personal
relationships.
Virgo is represented in modern Astrology by the Virgin, although 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
indulging their practical and logical side and poring over their projects to
the nth degree. To say these folks are good at fact-finding almost
understates the case, since Virgos revel in their exacting (some would argue
pedantic) behavior and are a whiz with minutiae. Virgins are an asset in the
workplace as they can be counted on to get things right the first time,
every time -- and no detail will be overlooked. They are also balanced and
fair in their assessments in keeping with the Mutable Quality assigned to
this Sign.
Virgo Career
Profile
They have potential abilities in the arts, sciences and languages. Language
especially they use correctly, clearly, consciously and formally, as
grammarians and etymologists rather than for literary interests, yet they
are likely to have a good memory for apt quotations. Although they are well
suited for careers in machine drawing, surveying and similar occupations,
they are better fitted for a job in a library or office than a workshop.
Their minds are such that they need the stimulus of practical problems to be
solved rather than the mere routine or working to set specifications that
need no thought. They are careful with money and their interest in
statistics makes them excellent bookkeepers and accountants. They also make
good editors, physicists and analytical chemists. They may also find success
as welfare workers, ministering to those less fortunate than themselves.
They can be doctors, nurses, psychologists, teachers, confidential
secretaries, technologists, inspectors, musicians, critics, public speakers
and writers especially of reference works such as dictionaries and
encyclopedias. Both sexes have a deep interest in history, a feature
recognized by astrological authorities for at least two hundred years. If
they go in for a business career their shrewdness and analytical ingenuity
could tempt them into dishonesty, though they usually have enough moral
sense to resist temptation. Female Virgoans may find a career in fashion,
for they have a flair for dress, in which they can be trendsetters. In any
profession they choose the natives of this, sign readily assimilate new
ideas, but always with caution, conserving what they consider worth keeping
from the past. They love country life but are unlikely to make good farmers,
unless they can contrive to carry out their work without outraging their
sense of hygiene and cleanliness.
Virgo Love life
Both sexes have considerable charm and dignity, which make some male
Virgoans appear effeminate when they are not. In marriage, they can be
genuinely affectionate, making good spouses and parents, but their
lovemaking is a perfection of technique rather than the expression of
desire, and they must be careful not to mate with a partner whose sex drive
requires a passion they cannot match. |
