About Virgos Victoria Bearden
Virgo is the 7th sign of the zodiac, beginning around the 22nd of August through the 22nd of September. If your birthday falls right at the edge of the starting or ending point you need to check with an astrologer to see what you really are, as it varies a little year to year. Virgo is an Earth Sign, along with Taurus and Capricorn. Earth Signs are considered to be physical, sensual, practical, industrious, rational, goal oriented, and down to earth. Virgo is ruled by the planet Mercury, which is the god of the intellect; therefore Virgos are a bit more like Air Signs in that they are very mentally driven. Gemini is also ruled by Mercury. Virgos, like Geminis, are always thinking and analyzing. Both Virgo and Gemini are considered youthful or Mercurial signs, and needless to say, they tend to be young at heart and in body. Virgos are Mutable, which means they are team players, adaptable, changeable, and good multi-taskers. Sometimes they take this a little too far and get too many projects going at once. Learning to focus and simplify is good medicine for Virgos. Virgos are sometimes concentrate so much on making the quilt squares that they neglect to put the whole darn quilt together. You get the picture. Virgos are service oriented and want to do something that is “useful”. Sometimes they get caught hanging out in the background making someone else famous or wealthy because they don’t have the confidence to get out there in front and make decisions for themselves. But don’t ever underestimate a Virgo. Once they find their mission in life, they will work tirelessly to perfect it. They are the masters of technique and refinement and can run circles around others once they get inspired about something. Virgos have an innate sense of style that makes them great artists, interior designers, and fashion experts. A balanced Virgo will always be impeccable with their wardrobe and personal grooming, right down to their toenails. Virgos tend to prefer a classic sense of style to something more wild, bold, or avant-garde, which would appeal more to an artsy Pisces or Aquarian, maybe a Leo. Virgos have a keen appreciation for anything that has craftsmanship and value, so they need to make lots of money so they can afford the best. Sometimes the quest for perfection can lead them to insecurity and sleepless nights worrying about how to be better. Virgos are very adept at anything having to do with the world of business. Their analytical abilities make them great auditors, editors, CPAs, brokers, realtors, and information specialists. Virgo pitfalls? Yes, there are some. They are very self-critical and sometimes equally critical of others. Their awesome problem solving abilities often lapse into nit picking and pettiness. Since Virgos thrive on order, sometimes they end up being too controlling and don’t allow themselves to be spontaneous. It’s also hard for Virgos to stop over-analyzing every darn thing. More on the up side, Virgos have a natural knack for anything dealing with health and healing and they make great personal trainers, dancers, holistic healers, doctors, and nurses. Even if they don’t go this direction as a career, they are often very knowledgeable about the subject. Virgo rules the intestines and this is both their strong area and their weak point. Eating healthy and avoiding the kind of stress that can lead to ulcers or a spastic colon is essential. Who do they get along with best? Other earth signs: Taurus, Virgo, and Capricorn. And Water Signs: Cancer, Scorpio, and Pisces. This will also depend on other planets in the chart, so don’t take it as gospel. Early Virgos, born from August 23rd through the 26th will be on a roller-coaster ride this year and next with Uranus in Pisces opposing their Suns. Point in case: Kobe Bryant. This transit doesn’t have to be bad; it just means you are in for major changes and unexpected events this year and next. Jupiter just went into the sign of Virgo, and that is good news for all Virgos over the next year. Time to forge ahead and take advantage of new opportunities. Some famous Virgos Kobe
