Virgo Zodiac Sign
Born between the Indian summer and early fall August 21st to September 20th, Virgo is the sixth sign of the zodiac. Your personality and character traits have long been associated with ancient wheat and corn goddesses, gathering the harvest, and preparing for the winter. Virgo, your sign is one of the bedrocks of society, and it’s thanks to you that things are constantly being updated, upgraded, and upscaled.
Famous Virgos who have brought their eye for detail to the world have been Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr., Stephen King, Roald Dahl, Gene Kelly, Beyonce Knowles, Michael Jackson, Jimmy Fallon, Bernie Sanders, Warren Buffett, Cameron Diaz, and Lance Armstrong.
Personality – “Let’s Make it Right,” the Virgo Motto
Virgo, you are probably the most observant sign of the zodiac, a secret superpower that you use again and again in everything you do. You are also the sign of order, which is a good thing! You intrinsically understand the importance of keeping things organized, logical, and efficient. You really help organizations and systems find the time wasting and money wasting practices that are holding them back.
You like to get it right the first time, Virgo, and you certainly don’t want to have to go back to redo what you’ve already done! Your motto is to make it right, and that is also in keeping with your high standards. Virgos do not like to have your name attached to work that is shoddy, poor, or half thrown together. Why do something at all if it’s not going to be done well?
You are a great communicator, Virgo, since your ruling planet Mercury, is the planet of communication. Your witty observations, quippy sense of humor, and smart brain are great assets that you use with everything you do.
You believe in the power of common sense, Virgo, and you don’t understand why others complicate things all the time. Simplicity creates efficiency and effectiveness. It also prevents unnecessary mistakes!
Motivation: The Virgo Mercury Mind
Virgo, you’re motivated by perfection. What actually is perfection? It is the highest potential that a person or project can achieve. So, actually, Virgo, you’re motivated to have everything around you become the best version of itself that it can be. That’s a better way of looking at the perfectionist attitude!
Since you’re so highly motivated by perfection, you seek to improve the things in your life. You are motivated to fix and repair what has been broken, remove the clutter in what has become too complicated, straighten what is crooked, and bring order out of chaotic situations.
In addition to perfection, Virgo, you are deeply motivated by the satisfaction of a job done well. That feeling of admiring your finished masterpiece motivates you to put in the required time and effort along every step of the process. Then, you can rest and take pride in what you’ve been able to accomplish. Until it’s time to move on to the next thing to improve!
Interests: Virgo Visions
Since you love doing things well, Virgo, you are apt to turn any interest you have into a project that you want to live up to your high standards. You have your ruling planet Mercury’s eye for detail, so any hobby or activity that takes advantage of it really helps you.
For this reason, many Virgos take up writing. Virgo writers often turn their eye for detail into a thriving literary career that is full of detail and a high level of craft. You could start a blog, become a journalist or reporter, or contribute articles to magazines. Favorite subjects include fashion, gardening, current events, politics, movie or book critic, literature, and history.
You’d make a wonderful teacher, Virgo. You can put together a syllabus to host workshops or tutorials, helping others fix the problems of their own lives. Many Virgos become professors and Ph.D. academics, steeped in specific knowledge.
Since you are an earth sign, you might discover a deep satisfaction from gardening and landscape design. Any of the nature, horticulture, or botany fields can hold your interest for a lifetime. You especially enjoy cataloguing and classifying plants and specimens for your collection.
The fields of science, nursing, and medicine are also particular suited to the Virgo personality. You have a scientific mind for creating and analyzing theories. Your sign is the sign of the nurse, so you’d enjoy that as a career.
Behavior: Virgo the Maiden
Your sign’s symbol is of the virgin, or maiden girl. Since you are an autumn sign and were born in the early fall of August and September, you are also associated with ancient corn and wheat goddesses. This gives you, Virgo, a particular degree of efficient work and personal modesty that makes you a pleasant and responsible person to be around.
Virgos do have a reputation for having a critical tongue, but that only comes from the desire to improve! You do not care for coarse, vulgar, or immature behavior, either in yourself or in others. Etiquette exists for a very good reason, so that’s a perfect rational for acting better than your peers.
You also place a high standard of conduct on yourself, Virgo, which can lead to putting too much pressure on details that are just not that important in the long run. Seek to understand what it means to be ‘good enough,’ and leave it at that. Don’t become your own worst enemy and sabotage your chances by being too hard on yourself! Take the long view and realize that perfection is a process, not an endpoint.
Conclusion: Virgo the Virtuous
Society wouldn’t be anywhere near as prosperous without the helpful and efficient Virgos making it run. Our fields of medicine and science would still be in the dark ages if it weren’t for the Virgo aspects of scientific thinking, discovery, and technology. You improve every area of your life, Virgo, as well as the lives of others. As long as you don’t place too much criticism on the lack of perfection, you’ll always leave every place and person better than before you came along!
