♍ 24 August - 23 September · Earth · Mutable · ruled by Mercury
Personality, strengths and weak spots.
Virgo personal traits
Because of their ruling planet they are always in search of knowledge. They see their own intelligence as a servant there to help them. For that reason the word that describes Virgo is "I examine". Virgos are hard-working, practical people, and the most important thing in their lives is work. Much as they like helping the people they trust, they are cold towards those they do not believe in and know to be lazy. They work without rest all their lives; even their way of resting can look exhausting to other people. Virgos always run the risk of drowning in detail. Even at such moments, they will not accept that there might be anything slapdash in work they have done by their own methods. Virgos generally never let anyone make use of them; they set their limits and know how to say no. Their thrift is sometimes close to meanness. Because they dislike being on intimate terms with people, they have a cool and distant air about them.
Virgo physical traits
The typical physical traits of Virgo: tall, with a slim waist; the face is pink and white or dark. Their hair is dark and usually long, and the strands are healthy. Because their eyes look at you as though reading what is inside, you fall under their influence at once. They have a distinctive presence. Their methodical, rule-bound nature shows in their appearance as well; you will never see them untidy or slapdash. Their clothes are classic but striking. Because they always like to live well, they wear pleasant clothes that reflect their budget - as long as it does not tip over into excess.
