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.
