“IF YOU HAVE BUILT CASTLES IN THE AIR, YOUR WORK NEED NOT BE LOST—THAT IS WHERE THEY SHOULD BE: NOW PUT FOUNDATIONS UNDER THEM.”
HENRY DAVID THOREAU
The typical Virgo is timid and reticent. You are definitely not the loud, overtly friendly type, especially in the company of strangers. You have a tendency to be cautious about revealing yourself and need time to get comfortable with people around you. This quality can be misinterpreted as pretentiousness by some.
You’re a stickler for perfection, but not in all aspects of your life. For example, you may be particularly organised in the bedroom and kitchen, while you disregard the study or the courtyard. In some rare Virgos, however, such diligence may manifest only in their psychological makeup.
While you are blessed with an incredible ability to compartmentalise facts and figures, the same precision may elude you in matters pertaining to your own work or lifestyle. On the whole, though, Virgo is a highly meticulous and organised sign, and perfection is at the heart of your star sign and personality.
This quest for perfection may inspire you to choose service and quality over wealth, authority, ego or fame. While others may respond unfavourably to your reasoning, you remain unfazed, committed to doing your best in your chosen path.
You prefer practicality over idealism and are unfailingly diligent in fulfilling your promises. At the same time, exercise caution over this desire to serve others or you’ll find yourself overwhelmed by the sheer pressure of living up to your promises and ensuring everyone’s happiness. Try to strike a balance in your life to prevent burning out in the future.
HIGH STANDARDS
You have an eye for detail and know what you want. You are highly critical of people who don’t do their best. You also want others to live up to your standards.
As the 6th sign of the zodiac, Virgo is ruled by Mercury, and it is an overall clean zodiac sign. Looking after your health and modulating your food intake is an important aspect of your wellbeing. You abhor health hazards and, in extreme cases, you may fret over the minutest ache or twinge.
