In this sixth of a 12 part series on horoscopes, we're going to look at the third of what are called the summer signs, Virgo the Virgin. People who are born between August 22 and September 22 are Virgos. Their element is Earth, their quality is Mutable, their energy is Yin, their ruler is the Mercury, their color is blue, their gem is Sapphire, their main anatomical parts are the intestines and colon, their keywords are service, self-improvement and sacred patterns, their Tarot suit is Pentacles and their Tarot Major Arcana card is The Hermit. Some famous celebrities who are Virgos are Salma Hayek, Cameron Diaz, Keanu Reeves, Sean Connery, Greta Garbo, Stephen King, Sophia Loren and River Phoenix. Virgos are the most confusing sign of all. They can be totally calm on the outside while ready to blow a gasket on the inside. They have this constant need to fix what they feel is broken. Don't even try to get in their way when they're doing this. They are the ultimate problem solver and as far as they are concerned, there is no problem that can't be solved. Virgos are very practical. You won't see them surrounding themselves with a lot of things that are non essential. They don't necessarily live in huts but fancy homes, clothes and cars just don't interest them. Just give them a vehicle that gets them from point A to point B and they're perfectly content. One problem a Virgo has is thinking too much. They can analyze a problem until they are blue in the face and still never get anywhere with it. They question everything and look at the pros and cons of each situation under a microscope. They do make great detectives but sometimes they miss the forest for the trees. A Virgo in love is one who seeks the perfect mate. They will never settle for anything other than perfection, which is why it takes them quite some time to find somebody who they are ready to settle down with for life. But once they do, they are very intimate. They are also great servants to their lovers. They just live to serve. Sometimes though this becomes a problem as they leave their partner with nothing to do. Virgos are one of those signs that goes well with a number of different signs. They tend to look for other Earth signs like Taurus and Capricorn, but can get along equally as well with Scorpio, Gemini or Sagittarius. A Virgo at work is truly a blessing. If you're lucky enough to have one on your team you are indeed very lucky. Their work ethic is second to none and they are always seeking self improvement at their jobs. They are great planners, organizers and finishers. They are very reliable so you can always count on them to do the best job possible. Virgos are without a doubt very dependable people. You may not always know what's going on inside of them, but they'll never let you down if you need them to come through for you. |
