Personality Traits of Virgo

Our birthday greetings to all of you born under the sign of Virgo ­ one of the most sensible, practical and modest signs of the Zodiac, but also one with the most critical mind! Being an Earth sign and "ruled" by Mercury, Virgo is an industrious sign, which likes to do everything in a methodical manner.

They do not really care for other people's opinion and do not know how to take compliments well! They are somewhat shy and become critical and sarcastic if someone praises them too much (exactly opposite to a Leo!). They are often talented in writing (Goethe and Tolstoy), arts (realistic or nature drawing and miniatures with emphasis on detail and accuracy rather than imagination), dancing, music (playing exact notes as opposed to composing), and languages (with emphasis on grammar and pronunciation).

They are perfectionists in everything they do but can get caught up with nit-picking details. They are are efficient and normally do not have to repeat anything because they do it right the first time. Virgos are probably the most unselfish friends to have and are true friends in need. However, do not expect them to soothe you with stories. If you are going through a breakup, they will give you all the reasons why you should not have been involved in the first place!

Virgos are often involved in teaching, accounts, health oriented profession and the service industry. Saving others is the best way for them to deal with their tendency to indulge in self pity and the "poor me" attitude, because they can change it into compassion. Virgos are excellent trouble shooters because of their logical , analytical, organized and practical approach. Virgos make excellent researchers and are often drawn to health oriented professions. Those with Venus in Virgo can be somewhat shy in love. They enjoy natural skin care products and are good in modelling. Venus in Virgo is compatible with Venus in Taurus, Cancer and Scorpio. Some of the people born under the sign of Virgo are Florence Nightingale, H.G.Wells, Peter Falk, D.H. Lawrence, Peter Sellers, painter Grandma Moses, Greta Garbo and fashion model Twiggy.

As 2007 arises, Jupiter acts as a personal motivator for you, as it allows you to look at the bigger picture and to appreciate all of the positive aspects of your life and your future.  Opportunities that involve travel and foreigners will leave you feeling more optimistic and hopeful than you have felt in a long time.  Jan. and Feb. 2007 is the perfect time to focus on your health, your skin care regimes and your nutrition.  With this in mind, keep a steady pace, and not allow yourself to get too critical in Apr. 2007. 

Jan. and Feb is the perfect time to focus on your health, your skin care regimes and your nutrition. Use this dynamic period to join a class where movement is key, like salsa so you enjoy life with someone rather than just exercises and going to the gym on your own. Take advantage of this dynamic period by getting involved in activities such as Salsa dancing, in order to keep up with your healthy lifestyle without feeling like it is too routine.

Your Longterm Success

Jupiter represents your ability to be in the right place when opportunities develop  and your need to expand your horizons:  Till mid Dec. 2007 is and excellent time for writers, publishers, philosophers, teachers, and those involved with import/export business. Just pace yourself and don't take out more than yoru can handle.

Pluto is squaring your Sun Sign till Nov. 2008 so this may feel like the whole system is thwarting your goals in life. The best way to offset this theme is to go along with it and make changes in your longterm goals.
