can you tell me something about my sign?

Favorite Answer

Virgo August 23 - September 22
Is the sixth sign of the zodiac is concerned with:
* self-perfection, critical faculties
* altruism, honesty, responsibility
* cleanliness, hygiene, health, healing
* efficiency, daily routines, reliability
* strength of character, veiled sensuality
* service, hard work, passivity, modesty
* incisive communication, shrewd logical thought

Elemental Quality
Virgo is the mutable earth sign of the zodiac, indicating adaptable practicality. It can be likened to a semi-shaded patio which has been adapted to make a garden filled with a great variety of plants, climbers, and an arbor. Half-hidden, here and there, are garden chaise longues with rich patchwork covers, bottles of homemade organic wines, and other unexpected practical delights.

Spiritual Goal
To learn to discriminate between destructive criticism and simple wisdom.

Element: Earth

Ruling planets: Mercury

Symbol: The Virgin

Gemstone: Sapphire

Life Pursuit: To do the right thing

Vibration: Compassionate and caring

Virgo's Secret Desire: To love and be loved in return

Secret Virgo
Inside anyone who has strong Virgo influences is a person who worries too much about every personal imperfection and is never satisfied with his or her own standards. Virgo may appear to know it all and be a compulsive worker; both these behaviors hide a deep fear that he or she cannot be good enough for, say, the job or the partner. Virgos crave the opportunity to serve others and take charge of many apparently mundane matters that, collectively, are the bedrock of success. One of the least expected aspects of a Virgo personality is a strong, almost volcanic sexuality that can lie hidden and dormant for years until the right partner comes along.

Ruling Planet and Its Effect
Mercury rules the zodiac sign of Virgo, so anyone whose birth-chart has a strong Virgo influence will have a good and quick mind. In astrology, Mercury is the planet of the mind and communication. Being more concerned with practicalities than ideas (Gemini, the ideas sign, is also ruled by Mercury), Virgo is usually interested in acquiring information and in communicating by writing. The other traditional ruler of Virgo is the mythological Vulcan, the lame god of thunder, who has a confident and brilliant mind.

Virgo At Home
If a person has the personality that is typical of those born with a Virgo sun sign, home is a place to thrive, and he or she will have a tendency toward the characteristics listed below.

Typical Behavior and Abilities when at home, a Virgo man or woman:
* enjoys being head of the household
* is domesticated in most areas, such as cooking, managing the household finances, general maintenance, health, hygiene, and gardening

* is helpful, especially about detailed work
* can adapt to almost any practical demand
* may find it hard to express affection warmly
* gets upset by children's dirt and untidiness
* will explain demands he or she makes
* will do anything to help their children

Typical Behavior and Abilities of a typical Virgo at work:
* is best in a supporting role
* is meticulous and self-disciplined
* offers others a sense of stability
* is very helpful to other people
* can enjoy complicated, routine work

Virgo and Love
To Virgo, love is not dramatic, emotional, or sentimental. A Virgo's love is devotion and will include love of family, friends, and those less fortunate than he or she. Virgo in love with another person will have many of the characteristics listed below.

Behavior when in Love, the typical Virgo:
* looks for quality
* is frightened by overt romance
* may wait years for the right person
* once in love, loves warmly and steadily
* is devoted to the loved one
* will rarely give cause for any jealousy
* will do anything to avoid breaking up

Expectations of the typical Virgo expects:
* devotion from the partner
* a sense of decency
* to enjoy platonic flirtation
* to be fussed over when feeling down
* personal matters to be kept private
* feelings to be handled with great care

Positive Factors
Virgos love any pagentry that gives them an outlet for their tightly controlled emotions. Hence they are delightful companions at these events. Virgos are discriminating and have a fine artistic taste and a wealth of information on many subjects. They are not coarse and do not waste money. Virgos are loyal to their friends and will be extremely kind, considerate, and helpful.

Negative Factors
Virgos are nervous worriers, and a friend who in some way feeds the worries will reduce Virgo to a nervous heap. Virgos can be cold and critical, so a friend who softens the barbed remarks with caring laughter will bring out the Virgo wit. Most Virgos find it almost impossible to admit they are occasionally wrong.

Virgo Likes
* making lists
* a well-stocked medicine cabinet
* self-improvement courses
* punctuality
* mimicking others
* grooming self, taking showers, using nice soaps
* dealing with details
* tiny animals
* helping others
* wearing well-tailored clothes in muted colors and textures

Virgo Dislikes
* crowds and noise; brash people
* slang, vulgarity, slovenliness, and dirt
* people who whine and complain a lot
* sitting still for a long time
* disrupted schedules
* lids left off boxes, or tops off toothpaste
* being obligated to others
* people who move Virgo's personal things
* hypocrisy and deceit
* any admission of weakness or failure
*bright, bold, primary colors

Virgo is the sixth Sign of the Zodiac, to be exact, and that's the way Virgos like it: exacting. Those born under this Sign are forever the butt of jokes for being so picky and critical (and they can be), but their 'attention to detail' is for a reason: to help others. Virgos, more than any other Sign, were born to serve, and it gives them great joy. They are also tailor-made for the job, since they are industrious, methodical and efficient. The sense of duty borne by these folks is considerable, and it ensures that they will always work for the greater good.

Virgo is represented in modern Astrology by the Virgin, although this association should not be taken literally. Rather, Virgos tend to take on some of the qualities of a Virgin, things like modesty and humanity. Some might consider them repressed, although Virgins would argue that it's a noble quality, as opposed to a negative one. Most of all, Virgos enjoy indulging their practical and logical side and poring over their projects to the nth degree. To say these folks are good at fact-finding almost understates the case, since Virgos revel in their exacting (some would argue pedantic) behavior and are a whiz with minutiae. Virgins are an asset in the workplace as they can be counted on to get things right the first time, every time -- and no detail will be overlooked. They are also balanced and fair in their assessments in keeping with the Mutable Quality assigned to this Sign....Show more

You are??? Me too I have only met three or four in person. One thing i know offhand is that this usually means you like reading and do okay in school/college if that's not you you dream a lot and hope for ood things that what i looked up in general when i was about 9. But that was a while ago so things might of changed. Okay i noticed that November is a good month to be active and energetic for us virgos another thing i noticed is that each zodiac sign has an element for example ours is earth while im pretty sure aries is water. i looked at yahoo horoscopes to find this stuff and then just browsed. But one thing....don't let being like your sign get in the way of all the important things. Bye!...Show more

All I know is that we don't get along. Virgos put boundaries on my freedom and I hate that. Once my Virgo friend told me that he wouldn't go out with women who didn't wear branded dress.
Since I didn't have branded dress, I went out with a passionate Taurus instead.. He was just "worth" the time spent and all I need is a cute mini skirt, not even branded hehehehe
I am a Leo and boy I like it that way!...Show more

Normally you prefer being the power behind the throne, but the stars require that you take the reins and lead the way early on in the day. By the afternoon, you can return to your regularly scheduled habits: Virgo...Show more
