Virgo! About Your Sign...
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
Virgoeans:
|
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.
