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.
