About Your Sign...
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.
Possible Health Concerns...
Virgo is said to govern the hands, abdomen, intestines, spleen and central nervous system.
Illnesses to which its natives are prone
include catarrh, cold, coughs, pleurisies, pneumonia and nervous instabilities. Their
natures make them inclined to worry and this
makes them vulnerable to stomach and bowel troubles, including colic and ulcers. Male
Virgoans may have trouble with their sexual organs. Both sexes are strongly interested in
drugs and esoteric cuisine and as their delicate stomachs require them to be careful about
their diet, it is essential that they treat their fascination with exotic food with
extreme care.

Problem that may arise for you, and their solutions........
Problem: Finding themselves to
be frequently alone and unable to keep friends for more than a few weeks.
Solution: They should try not to be argumentative over much and the constant criticism
that Virgos give to their companions are not endearing qualities to have. They should try
to live and let live, others will love them for it.
Problem: People tend to avoid making close contact with you.
Solution: Being too preoccupied with health and making it a continual topic of
conversation.They should try to keep their tips and suggestions about health and health
products to themselves unless asked for them.
Problem: Dissatisfied with the way their life is turning out; no excitement or change to
speak of.
Solution: They may be restricting themselves by reducing their life to a set of theories
and pigeon-holes. They should try to express the positive by first asking themselves,
"Who or what are they serving"; are they devoted or are they enslaved. They
should answer those questions and then start a new path that includes their true worth.
Problem: They may feel that their life and their climb to success is a steep hill that
they may never be able to scale.
Solution: They should try expressing the positive traits of their finely tuned analytical
reasoning, employing the light touch with employees and coworkers, while expressing
genuine concern for all; They will find those mountains turning into hills that they run
right over.
