Virgo ! About Your Self… |
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, 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.
But 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.
So 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.
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 love making 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.
They are intellectually enquiring, methodical and logical, studious
and teachable. They combine mental ingenuity with the ability
to produce a clear analysis of the most complicated problems.
They have an excellent eye for detail but they may be so meticulous
that they neglect larger issues. Also, although they are realists,
they may slow down projects by being too exact. They are practical
with their hands, good technicians and have genuine inventive
talents, Thoroughness, hard work and conscientiousness are their
hallmarks, and they are such perfectionists that, if things
go wrong, they are easily discouraged. Because of their ability
to see every angle of a many-sided question, they are unhappy
with abstract theorizing. Appreciating the many different points
of view as they do, they find philosophical concepts difficult,
and they vacillate and have no confidence in any conclusions
at which they arrive
With these qualities, they are better as subordinates than leaders.
Responsibility irks them and they often lack the breadth of
strategic vision that a leader needs Virgoans are essentially
tacticians, admirable in the attainment of limited objectives.
Their self distrust is something they project on to other people
and tends to make them exacting employers, though in the demands
they make on those under them they temper this attitude with
justice. 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 trend setters. 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.
Their faults, as is usual with all zodiacal types, are the extremes
of their virtues. Fastidious reticence and modesty become old-maidishness
and persnicketiness; balanced criticism becomes carping and
nagging; and concern for detail becomes overspecialization.
Virgoans are liable to indecision in wider issues and this can
become chronic, turning molehills of minor difficulties into
Himalayas of crisis. Their prudence can become guile and their
carefulness, turned in on themselves, can produce worriers and
hypochondriacs.

Possible Health Concerns... |
Virgo is said to govern the hands, abdomen, intestines, spleen
and central nervous system. Illnesses to which its natives are
prone include catarrh, cold, coughs, pleurisies, pneumonia and
nervous instabilities. Their natures make them inclined to worry
and this makes them vulnerable to stomach and bowel troubles,
including colic and ulcers. Male Virgoans may have trouble with
their sexual organs. Both sexes are strongly interested in drugs
and esoteric cuisine and as their delicate stomachs require
them to be careful about their diet, it is essential that they
treat their fascination with exotic food with extreme care.

PROBLEMS THAT MAY ARISE FOR YOU, AND THEIR SOLUTIONS |
As with all sun signs, we all have unique traits to our personalities.
When these traits are suppressed, or unrealized, problems will
arise. However, with astrology we can examine the problem and
assess the proper solution based on the sun sign characteristics.
As a Virgo you may see things below that really strike home.
Try the solution, you most likely will be amazed at the results.
If you find yourself on the receiving end of the negatives below,
it is because you are failing to express the positive.
Problem : Finding yourself frequently alone and unable
to keep friends for more than a few weeks.
Solution : Try not to be argumentative over much and
the constant criticism that Virgos give to their companions
are not endearing qualities to have. Try to live and let live,
they will love you for it.
Problem : People
tend to avoid making close contact with you.
Solution : Being too preoccupied with health and making
it a continual topic of conversation. Try to keep your tips
and suggestions about health and health products to yourself
unless asked for them.
Problem : Dissatisfied with the way your life is turning
out; no excitement or change to speak of.
Solution : You may be restricting yourself by reducing
your life to a set of theories and pigeon-holes. Try to express
the positive by first asking yourself, Who or what are you serving;
are you devoted or are you enslaved. Answer those questions
and then start a new path that includes your true worth.
Problem : You may feel that your life and your climb
to success is a steep hill that you may never be able to scale.
Solution : Try expressing the positive traits of your
finely tuned analytical reasoning, employing the light touch
with employees and coworkers, while expressing genuine concern
for all; You will find those mountains turning into hills that
you run right over.
