Virgo’s Astrology

Zodiac Sign Virgo/Native’s Sun is in Virgo

What are the basic Virgo traits?

During the time when the Sun is in Virgo, from late August until late September, nature reveals in detail what it has created. It is harvest season. Harvesting requires a serious system, focus, attention to detail and a critical approach to decide what is useful and what is not. Virgos have these qualities. Yes you will hear them say “It is about the work”. Working and being of service satisfies Virgos perhaps more than any other Zodiac Sign because being useful is of great importance to them. They need a system, a pattern to work with. Virgos have versatile interests, usually revolving around work and health, with great ideals. They are always devoted to their craft, a service they offer and they love their small details. What a Virgo does, one does with knowledge, conscience, system, and diligence. They are so diligent that they easily can see the faults of others at work. Their propensity for nagging criticism is infamous. Because they always find ways to improve something, they tend to grumble, and thus are not always so popular. But they work and get their work done. Precision is so Virgo.

Virgos also get nervous if they have to wait and just do nothing at all. They don't want to waste time doing nothing. They want to be of service. Sometimes it seems as if life to them is a like a big machine where everyone does their part to make the machine work. In that machine, they can get lost in details and famously miss the forest for the trees. However, they are no robots obviously, they just need things to work. They are interested in natural sciences, anthroposophy, physiology and reforms in all kinds of areas. Virgos’ somewhat pedantic nature is good for monitoring work and calculating cost-benefit ratios. If you are hiring accountants, Virgo is your match. Completing mundane tasks is not a burden for them, they blossom in it if anything. You’ll also find Virgo people in professions where analysis and research are vital, for instance methodical, systematic researchers, scientists, editors, or people working in archives.

Virgos are serving-nature people: hardworking, diligent, people who gladly help and advise others because they know that we live in a system that needs to function properly. They are the type of let us say for instance a teacher, nurse and doctor who do their job out of inner vocation rather than external appraisal. They are happy when they can help others to improve. Health is of paramount importance to them. You will find a lot of doctors or nutritionists under the sign of Virgo or with heavy Virgo placements in their horoscope. Virgos tend toward chastity—not necessarily physical abstinence, but idealistic dedication. They usually mature early in life.

Virgo-born people may often seem cold, but that does not mean that they are selfish people with a heart of an iceberg in their truest essence. They just do not show their affection in a grandiose or highly emotional way. Virgos can give the impression that they are calculating or materialistic, however they can be very humane and helpful when needed. Perhaps they are most helpful people out of all 12 Zodiac Signs. Although they can be calculating at times they are not unkind. They like to improve not just things but the lives of other people. Pragmatism is a fitting word which is associated with Virgo. They can seem materialistic or atheistic but often act out of internal values. Virgo-born people are very idealistic. They are generous but in a practical sense. Sometimes they work so diligently behind the scenes without even taking the well-earned credit. They aren’t easily swayed by emotions but do regret the misfortune of others.

Some Virgos have a hard time with overthinking and overanalysing situations and therefore they might miss great opportunities where a simple, direct approach perhaps would have been more suitable in reaching whatever goal they set for themselves. Virgos can also lack emotional sensitivity and struggle with showing and receiving affections at times. They rarely let themselves be deeply touched emotionally but act with care. Virgo types are usually quiet, humble, and dedicated to their craft. Some work diligently all their lives and give generously to charitable causes—but do not forget their own profit.
