where their attention to detail and perfectionism is appreciated. Many are
in medicine and science, accounting, teachers. They have inquiring minds
and always want to know the whys and wheres. Their minds are always active
looking for better ways to do something.
- Their over-criticalness make them enter friendships
slowly; however, they are loyal once a friendship is established. They are
worriers and this often causes ulcers. Many have arthritis because of
being so critical.
- Virgos keep their youthfulness and rarely show
their age. in love, they have difficulty expressing themselves as they
desire. They may seem self-sufficient, but they are happiest with someone
to love and who loves them.
- Because of their perfectionism, Virgo is one sign
that can marry another Virgo.

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.
