Sun sign: Virgo

At work

Those born under the sign of Virgo derive much joy from being productive and keeping busy. They particularly thrive when they are able to do something really well, since the word slapdash does not exist in their vocabulary. With a meticulous eye for detail, they are the masters or mistresses of their craft. They do, however, need to recognise when a job has been completed, as a perfectionist streak can let them lose sight of the bigger picture. Super self-critical, these modest souls demand little acknowledgement for their work, yet deserve many accolades. Duty and routine are second nature to them, to the point where guilt or worry over incomplete tasks becomes self-defeating. Sound relationships with their colleagues are of great importance to these hard and efficient workers.

Love and sex

Far from being the puritanical or prudish beings they are made out to be, they are much more sensual than they tend to let on. By nature they are shy and reserved, but this is part of their charm. They have an inherent ability to discriminate between suitable partners, earning them the reputation of being fussy and critical. But once committed – often later in life – they are faithful and honest in love. They adore spoiling their loved ones; providing pots of herb tea, special dinners or relaxing back massages.

Lifestyle and health

Taking care of their physical and mental health comes naturally to Virgos. Their tendency to overwork and inclination to put others’ needs first can, however, lead to self-neglect. Once they learn to harmonise their work and play, they reap the benefits of having a healthy body. Being plagued by ailments is often an indication that this balance is disturbed. Since they understand the body/mind connection, they are motivated to live a healthy lifestyle. Yoga, table tennis or merely being out in nature are suitable forms of exercise or leisure activities.
