There’s something delightfully feminine about Miss Virgo even when she’s wearing tomboy clothes and having a bad hair day. Slim, pretty with natural grace and big, wide open eyes Miss Virgo was born under the sign of the celestial maiden so she just can‘t help being gorgeous.

Even Mr Virgo benefits from the same clear gaze and handsome looks. But don’t be fooled by the attractive packaging and innocent expression. These tempting types are in no way dumb.

Virgo is an earth sign ruled by quicksilver Mercury. This endows them with a lightning brain, brilliant sense of humour and articulate tongue, coupled with down to earth common sense. It’s a devastating combination. Shrewd could be Virgo’s middle name.

Where air sign Gemini, which shares the same ruling planet, gets carried away by Mercury- inspired flights of fancy, Virgo is more discriminating and instantly sees what’s do-able and what’s an impractical pipe dream.

What’s more Virgo is fascinated by detail, small print and the tiny but vital tasks that can make the crucial difference between success and failure. This is the reason why people born under the sign of the virgin often get criticised - unfairly - for being perfectionists. True, they cannot abide a job performed in sloppy fashion but that’s only because they understand the importance of getting things right.

‘No point in spoiling the ship for a hap’orth of tar’ could be their motto and it’s the approach they bring to every aspect of their lives.

The only downside to possessing such an analytical brain is that Virgo can see so clearly every possible consequence of every possible action, including the direst, worst-case scenario, that these types often become anxious. Most born worriers are likely to be Virgos and they need to build regular relaxation or even bouts of meditation into their daily routines to help them cope, or their health could suffer.

In addition to their other fine qualities there is also a streak of saintliness about Virgo. Deep down Virgo is looking for a vocation or a cause to which to devote herself and once she finds it, she becomes a tireless and completely selfless worker, Few charities could survive for long without their Virgo staff.

Virgo in Love

Virgo is built for love and devotion but this is a sign that demands high standards and doesn’t understand the meaning of the word compromise.

People born under this sign would rather be single than tied to the wrong partner and for this reason they’re very cautious about committing themselves.

And don’t even think about telling lies to a Virgo - they have powers of deduction and observation to rival those of Sherlock Holmes and they can cut through a false story like a human chain saw.

Fellow earth signs Capricorn and Taurus will understand Virgo’s deeply held ideals and make the best partners. Get it right and Virgo will adore you forever. Get it wrong and you’ll be sent packing with a pithy insult in your ear.
