Virgo – the most underrated sign in the zodiac!
This is in support and defense of Virgo men and women. Without them, we’d be lost!
Virgo – the most underrated sign in the zodiac!
This is in support and defense of Virgo men and women. Without them, we’d be lost!
I am a recovering ex-wife of a Pluto conjunct Sun opposed Jupiter brand German Virgo — he was a mega strength Virgo, oh man. Basically, back in the days when we were trying to live together, we would buy a new vacuum cleaner at least every 6 months. My ex vacuumed at least twice a day out of his frustration with me, a Pisces portfolio of fritos, cheetos, and potato chip strewn about in CHAOS. Forget lining up lables, there were no labels. On weekends he would analyze his wardrobe and if he hadnt worn something in a month, he’d dash out to a second hand store to sell it. The minute the door closed I would light the incense and make love to my tarot cards in rapture. Once he caught me and yelled at me FOR NOT BEING PRACTICAL AT A TIME LIKE THIS WHEN WE HAVE TO SAVE FOR OUR RETIREMENT.
I did learn a lot from him. I learned to THROW IT OUT. What? Cheetos. Clothes. Tarot Cards. Everything. Just throw it all out. It doenst matter.
I’ll put it this way, when I put my order to the Universe for a new partner, I dont order a Virgo, but derned if I don’t still attract ’em like flies. On first dates when I find out they are Virgos I scream, “I’m a disgusting, filthy fish!” That sends ’em a- runnin’. Well actually there is one lovely Virgo ascendant in the picture for around whom I vaccuum until he turns into a moat of gee.
One thing about Virgo women, I have had a lot as clients and bosses in the graphic design part of my life, and for a fact, the projects I do with Virgo women are the best projects I ever do.
Hi first time dating a Virgo man he was so warm sweet kind I fell in love really fast that wasn’t supposed to happen but it did second week totally disaster he turned distance and cold and holding his Grudge. I tried talking to him he block me out so I had to read about him to get to know him a little better. Almost two months into the friendship I wish I never met him I will no longer answer to his tax or phone call if he call I will not answer the door if he comes over I’m done.
Good clip!
I have been pondering Virgo lately, too. As a Cap, I have a few close Virgo friends, and I always noticed that I got along with them but never realized why until now:
Virgo has the capacity to remain objective, yet still care. This is probably the most under-rated ability, ever.
My ex husband has this in his chart, Mars in Virgo. He was so efficient and helpful. And behaved just as you described.
Oh I really like Virgo! I’m actually writing an article on Venus in Virgo at this exact moment.
I definitely agree that they do the kind of jobs that go unnoticed but support the whole system. I really admire Virgos.
I could be a librarian, I have Virgo in my 6th house and Mercury in the 10th. Elsa, you may have just revealed my hidden vocation hehe
I am a big fan of Virgos. I love them. I’m a bit meticulous myself, so I don’t really get on their bad side, and I have a profound appreciation for people who do the ordinary, every-day work that keeps everything running.
I’ve dated two Virgo men. It’s converted me to Virgos forever if possible. 🙂 Both of them were wonderful at giving me flowers, always remembered birthdays and anniversaries, and that seems to be typical Virgo stuff, but they were also just really tactful and sweet and very capable guys, who handle sex with the same degree of excellence and attention to detail as everything else.
I know I’m drawn to reserve, so it may be a personal taste, but I luz the Virgos.
So glad you brought up Virgos! Lots of Virgos in my life this year, esp. since September. Tend to enjoy my virgo friends, but they do get very meticulous at times and, when I was trying to woo one, I found it quite frustrating to have to be so perfect all of the time! For quite a while, I was upset with virgos – they couldn’t seem to let things slide, live spontaneously, seemed to have difficultly loving life freely. But now I am thankful for them, because even in their stubborn OCD way, they are very playful. It is a challenge but wonderful fun to bring out their playful side, and well worth the “effort”.
You raise good points about the importance of jubs that seem mundane and repetitive but are, nevertheless, very important. I had never stopped to thank virgos for that!
My mother, a Virgo, scares me to death. Lady sure can hold a grudge.
However I have Venus and Mercury in Virgo and I feel it, for sure. I have always loved Virgo men but I have only managed to date one — and that was only for like a month and boy was that a dysfunctional foray. However he lived across the way from me for two years and when he moved in to his place I was drawn to him instantly, never mind that I was living with somebody else.
(I didn’t know much about astrology. I had no idea why he was setting off so many bells and whistles)
Well, he was textbook Virgo. His place was spotless and everything was incredibly tasteful and minimalist. And my mother is constantly making lists about things … organizing and filing restaurant reviews and hotels and God knows what else. She thinks astrology is stupid, but she is definitely “firing on all cylinders”, as Elsa would say.
I’m not a Virgo but I have Virgo moon and rising, Sun in the 6th house. I worked in a bookstore for two years so I can SO relate to the library example. My bookstore was full of Virgo employees, and I feel like this must be true about the whole publishing industry as it is so systematized and orderly. Oftentimes, people do not appreciate the kind of meticulous care and organization that goes into a bookstore, from the time the big boxes arrive to getting them shelved to gift wrapping them. Bookstores attract messes (my personal favorite was the book shoved into a shelf spine first, sticky with strawberry jam of all things, cover bent and ripped..WHO DOES THAT?!). Ah well, I think a lot of Virgo, while they complain about those kinds of things, love cleaning them up.
My favorite thing was doing inventory, getting out my big clip board and sitting in front of the books for hours and hours, just alphabetizing and organizing. It sounds boring as hell but the next time you go to a bookstore looking for Alison Weir’s biographies or a book on the Audubon birds there is a Virgo archetype to thank.
Poor poor Virgo. Anyone would think they own the rights to Martydom? No really, I am good with Virgo’s; they are good in bed and all the other things being said. I believe that ‘being of service’ is a spiritual experience and one that I aspire towards. I don’t think that Virgo’s have cornered that market?
kingsley
Thank you Elsa!!! When people ask me my sign, and know little about astrology or have read just the general definition, I always hesitate to say that I am a Virgo because of the stereotype that comes with this sign. I’m a Virgo Sun, Virgo Moon, with Pluto, Uranus, and Jupiter ….all conjunct!! Yikes me….some people would say….So….thank you, Elsa, for coming to our defense. Scorpios are always so good at that!!!
Note: Thanks to all of your comments too. I noticed that you all are capable of seeing that there is more to a Virgo then all that negative stuff that is often said about them.
🙂
Virgo Moon and Rising here.
I don’t mind the handwringing/worrying types (like myself) but can’t stand the hair-splitting or critical Virgos. The conversations just go on and on… and about nothing (that I want to hear).
The service Virgos are great until you realize they will surely make themselves sick by helping you! And then tell you all about it for years… I mean weeks 😉
Ooops I’m putting down Virgo! (Sorry, it is my Virgo Moon, making me so self-critical!)
So well said sweetie who in the hell do they think they are they want you to be perfect but I didn’t see anything perfect in him I had a Virgo man. 1 month 3 weeks I’m done I will not answer his short text messages anymore
Right on! Virgos rock. My work neighbor is a Virgo, and she took over this position that was in an absolute shambles due to her predecessor leaving for health reasons and bureaucratic crap delaying a timely replacement. She was new to town, had no experience (she majored in poetry!), no training; she was just plopped there in a dusty cubicle with an inbox full of backdated bureaucratic influx, took what was handed to her and made order out of it somehow. Her program is now running in an absolutely exemplary fashion. If I ever start my own business, I’m going to seek out a Virgo if I need an assistant. Is it legal to ask for a DOB on an app?
oh, my perspective’s tilted, given my virgo ascendant.
but i get a kick in finding and clarifying pattern out of apparent randomness. seeing textures and subtle meaning in the chaotic slurry that reality sometimes appears to be (but isn’t.)
and, yes, disorder sends me into a panic. thus i never went back home to stay once i left.
funny how that stuff works. all three daughters have virgo and aquarius in their moon/ascendant setup. get out and get clean.
Oh dear. I remember a Cancer defense too. Cancers and Virgos = my favorite people. My first love was a Virgo, and I’ve been with two other very sexy Virgo men. I love my son’s Virgo ascendant and moon… he seems so pure and calm. And stereotypes notwithstanding, he does freak out if his person and surroundings are not clean at all times. But we need this order in our lives! I wish I worked with a Virgo. My workplace is seriously hurting for want of a Virgo.
Thanks Elsa- You have flushed anoher Virgo out of the woods. Virgo Sun, Pluto and North Node in Virgo, with a Pisces Ascendant, planets in Libra. Strong Jupiter too. With all of the Libra, sometimes I cannot decide if I am a Virgo or Pisces. [Not a textbook virgo.]
After many years of marriage to an Aries and raising two daughters, Taurus and Cancer, I am a lot less bothered by clutter. I just do a little clean up every day. Every once in a while if the clutter continues to grow, it will get to me.
I like to have personal sacred space for meditation, peace and tranquillity. Thankfully my wife appreciates comfort, art beauty too. I just peeked at her chart, and after learning more about astology here and from other sources over the last several months, it does seem we are a very good match.[I already knew this.] She has allowed some of my collection of Crystals to inhabit other parts of the house. The really nice ones, not for their metaphysical properties, but because they are nice to look at. Honest to god though, she is the best house cleaner I have ever met! She prefers to clean like a cyclone once or twice a month.
When I got a new boss a year and half ago she unhired the other managers and it was just myself and her until she promoted another to help us. She is not great with compliments, [It is not something I need that much any way.] but she has said a few times that she does not know what she would do without me. I am absoloutley steadfast and solid as rock. PS my office is also somewhat of a sanctuary.
The more I know the less I think I know. There is an amazing amount of things that I don’t know, but this does not bother me. I am secure in not knowing, whereas not knowing freaks a lot of people out. If I am interested enough in something, I will take the time to learn. I balk at learning about things that do not hold any interest to me. This might be the Piscean influence.
Good night all!
I’ve suddenly developed a cling-on psychic hitchhiker (Virgo with Leo ASC).
I’m learning some people struggle to assimilate their combined energies…trying to be compassionate. Not easy when someone like this is breathing down your neck 🙁
My daughter is a Virgo. She’s the coolest 14 year old I know.
right? Virgo teenagers are the best
Saturn in Virgo in the 6th, Pisces ascendant. I’m a messy person, but I’m a get the job done at work person, people are often amazed at how fast and well I can do things at work and make order out of a complete mess. It’s a recurring theme in my life (at work). The rest of it’s a mess. NN in Virgo as well (7th house).
Natalie – I don’t think they are undermined, I think Virgo (and the things they are responsible for and/or rule) are undervalued. Compare to Scorpio and sex. No one undervalues that! Or Pisces and fantasy / music.
Virgo is the sign of clear, concise analysis, I love Virgos! As for them being the most undermined sign, don’t you think that every sign seems to feel that way?
Lupa, it’s funny, my Gemini friend describes her Virgo daughter as the coolest something year old she knows (I don’t know how old she is), she uses a similar tone. Her Virgo daughter is really together, calm, and collected. She makes a contrast to her and her Libra son who are quite similar. I think she is really pleased and surprised by her daughter.
One thing you forget about Virgos, they are very no bullshit! They tell it to you like it is, especially if you are doing something wrong or decadent. You guys might not mind, but it kind of hurts my feelings. The Virgo is the kid in class who does their work to the best of their ability, recognizes and chastises themselves for any failure, and kind of don’t understand how I could do so badly. They kind of go, “You’re right, you’re fucked.”
A character that might seem like a Virgo as far as “having no regard for human frailty” is Katharine Hepburn in The Philadelphia Story. She is described as a virgin goddess. I think she’s right to hold her father accountable, though, “holding onto his youth” is a weaksauce excuse for cheating. Haha, with all my Cancer planets, I tend to judge moral trespasses harsher when they hurt the children. Also I hate the idea of selfish parents, even though my Aquarius friend annoyingly hates doting parents that don’t give you your space more. She thinks fucked up parents build character (grrrrrr).
My daughter is very Virgo, but she’s very compassionate. She makes straight A’s in school, has excellent taste and fashion sense and is learning to groom dogs with me at work. When she was tiny she would ask me to let her clean things and then say thank you for the privilege.
She’s the kid in school who is so popular and together that you would want to hate her but she’s just so likable and nice that you can’t really.
She rolls her eyes at her quirky Gemini mom’s antics all the time. 🙂 But she loves the crazy colored poodle.
Actually, I think Geminis are the least respected and dogged with ugly character traits.
–Anna the Gemini
Like Deirdre, I too am a recovering Pisces sun (Taurus rising/Taurus moon) divorced from a nutty Virgo. My ex has Sagittarius rising and Cancer moon, and we shared the Virgo Uranus & Pluto mid-60s conjunction. The Sag rising and Cancer moon combined with the Virgo sun created what I believe to be the perfect storm of Virgo emotional constipation followed by emotional explosive diarrea. While my flaky Pisces sun, Mercury, and Mars, combined with my Taurus stuff longed to float in green pastures of peaceful, sloppy, meditation and lazy Sunday afternoonishness. My ex would switch from super cool ice cold analyzer and sharp as a flint knife execution style criticizer to a solar flair or ring of fire in an instant over the smallest petty stuff. After the explosion his clingy Cancer moon insecurity would kick in and he’d want to cuddle until the Virgo in him decided that he’d dispensed enough emotion for that day.
Every bit of mundane minutae out of place held the promise of another round of scathing criticism followed by a nuclear explosion then hugs and reassurance. my little fish brain and heart got very filleted and deep fried during my marriage to this piece of heaven (whose parents, grandmother, and best friend all happened to be Pisces suns by the way).
No matter how flaky I get I’m continually amazed at how I attract Virgos — from bosses, thesis judges, best friends, and post-divorce boyfriends. Some of these relationships have been good to a point while many have been disastrous and comedic at the same time.
Don’t get me wrong, I think Virgos are great and perform services on this planet that are very much needed. But I don’t think their maligned–I think the constipated emotion thing they do–when they try to control their feelings and analyze and catalog them instead of FEEL them–puts a wall up that many other signs find off-putting. Being over critical or not realizing when to STOP criticizing because its no longer useful doesn’t help matters either.
Dina- I know exactly what you’re talking about. I had to get a medical note for a class last semester for a medical situation. My Virgo classmate knew this, and still said (unsolicited) ‘Well, it’s got to put the instructor in a funny position, considering you didn’t make the deadline.’
Zero compassion. It would’ve really hurt my feelings if I had allowed myself to spiral in that direction.
Anna, I don’t think that’s true about Gemini. We’ve got charm!
A friend of mine wrote a funny list of reasons you shouldn’t date _____. Virgo’s was “You should never date a Virgo because OCD is no substitute for a personality.”
Before anyone gets offended, the point was you can’t rule people out based on astrology because we all have our negative traits.
Oh, I happen to love being a Gemini! We’ve got a lot going for us and we’re never boring BUT we have this reputation for being flakey two-faced liars skimming superficially upon the pond of life. I know that’s not true of me and most of the wonderful Geminis I’ve met over the years so why do the astrology books keep harping on our negative traits? When people asked me my sign and I say Gemini, I was usually met with “oh, nice…” But their look was sheer disdain. I now tell people I’m a Gemini/Cancer cusp (which I am at 28 degrees Gemini) and the response is better, as in “oh, interesting!” But there I go, typical Gemini right? Rephrasing (lying?) to make things sound/appear better to my adoring public!
Oh, and p.s I love Virgos. My mars and pluto is in Virgo so I admire and work with these people very well.
I’ve never gotten that response upon telling people I’m a Gemini. I would be curious to hear from other Geminis about their experience.
I love Gemini more than anyone else. Hands down. I just made a new friend at school, and I just LOVE her…and wasn’t surprised in the least to discover she has Sun, Moon and 2 other planets in Gemini.
I have a Triple Gemini friend…I love her too, although everyone is always asking me if she is stoned or insane…she’s incredibly creative and her essence is hypnotic.
Sorry to rag on Virgo. I do love them…I just get tired of them trying to make sense of me (it makes me feel micro-managed).
Of course, the chart’s energy is more than this!
I’m a Virgo but I don’t feel like one…I’m not too obsessed about neatness and I’m over trying to help everyone out (too exhausting). I think it depends on how much Virgo you have in your chart that makes the difference or specific aspects that bring out the fussiness. I feel and relate more as a Scorpio (my rising sign).
Lupa says: I would be curious to hear from other Geminis about their experience.
Typical response I get: Oh, yeah, should have known that. *chuckle* Usually in a positive way.
As someone who has no planets in earth signs, I am in awe of Virgos. I really admire them as long as they aren’t smug. I don’t like smug people of any sign.
But when they aren’t smug, damn if they aren’t capable people!
I have Jupiter/Pallas, Venus, Pluto/Uranus/Ceres in Virgo. On of my college degrees is in information/library science. 🙂
My husband’s mars is in Virgo too, so we think each other’s peculiarities are charming and endearing hahaha. There really is someone out there for everyone.
I think to be a good artist, no matter your art form, you can’t have really really good output unless some Virgo is in there, wanting you to go over your music/words/picture/dance/whatever for the billionth time.
wow, I don’t think of Virgo like this at all. She is the Goddess, hiding in the Zodiac. Virgo is the original priestess of the pagan temples. She’s the Divine Harlot. She is the one who has complete and total control over our physical reality, and as a priestess she gets to this level of mastery through daily practice and devotion.
Esoterically this is the place where heaven meets the earth. she marks the end of summer and the preparation for harvest. So this is love, hope, anything that’s seeded made manifest in nature. You can’t see Love floating around in the air — if you give it form and function, it is a cup or a blanket or even a piece of art made with total concentration.
She’s mom. She’s your best friend. She is all the everyday miracles that women are in charge of making. She’s the regularity of Thanksgiving dinner. She’s the one who runs the remembering of birthdays — who else would remember you? she’s also, in mythology, the priestess who gave the men who come to the temple sexual release — and by the way this is how lots of mythical heroes got born; half man, half god.
There romantic love, where people ride around cars and kiss and fight: and then there is the real stuff you can see when a midwife hands an exhausted woman her baby or in a hospital room at 3 AM. She *makes life possible*. Virgo is how your dreams become reality. Virgo can actually grant you a wish. She can literally give you what you need if you ask for it or even if you don’t.
You’ve got the car, but she’s got the map. Also she packed lunch.
In response to Eva:
I think it’s possible for all women to harness these capabilities and I know more than a handful of Virgos that would rather systematically destroy themselves than bother with this type of higher existence. Some of the claims you made seemed a little over the top. Could it be that you are a Virgo woman who thinks highly of yourself? Maybe not, since Virgos tend towards modesty. You could also be someone who just has a very strong philosophy surrounding your beliefs in astrology. Not all Virgos are always on top of things I mean they are meticulous and tend to have a plan but for some Virgos this manifests differently from others. Some are organized in a more discombobulated way.
wow! you sound like a straight hater. I guess discrimination in the stars is real.
“Not all Virgos are always on top of things” this made me snort out loud…one of my loved ones is a Virgo Moon/Sun/Mercury and she lives in a rats’ nest! (Just another reason why I’m confounded by Virgo).
I’m glad people are still writing about them here. I don’t know why I’m so confused about them!
Kashmiri, what Sun sign are you again? Rising Sign?
Hi Snap–My Sun’s in Taurus (16 degrees) ASC is Sagittarius (26 degrees). Moon in Capricorn (9 degrees). Where’s your Moon? (I think I remember correctly in that your Sun is Scorp and ASC Pisces?) You nice and hot up in your parts? Van in pretty nice today! Enjoy the rest of your weekend!
Arrrggghhh….NO, it’s NOT nice up here (P.G.) – and yes I saw that you guys were having a good day today. That’s all right Kashmiri, I’m happy for you. You must have sent your weather up here! :o)
Yes you remembered correctly, and my Moon is in hey…. Taurus! I have Mercury in Sagittarius! I just got to see my (hard to get) honey, so i’m in a good mood again! LOL ahhh, geeze.
Natalie, of course all women can harness those energies, and all men can too. Virgo is in the chart of every human being on the planet. And I wasn’t talking about the ability to organize, I was talking about the ability to make love manifest.
?
i thought eva’s description of virgo’s was very sweet. 🙂
me too. It is very apt. The highest form of Virgo is this. Remember, Virgos suns have other energies in their charts that can flavor them up.
I’m a double Virgo but with a Taurus Moon, Libra Mercury, Scorpio Venus, a Pisces Jupiter and a Mars Cancer. That makes me different than a Virgo with Air and Fire in her planets.
Oh Kashmiri…the messy house thing? You haven’t read enough. Virgos usually throw themselves into one area…home, work, relationships. If her house is messy, chances are her work space is pristine. Its an OCD thing. Even Virgos can get a bit burnt out too.
My work space and work product are neat. My house is OK but not pristine ( I live with 2 guys too lol). Clustered no matter how much I try.
But the trash bags and toilet paper are always in supply, the refrigerator organized, the laundry done, the floors swept and bleached and the meals homemade from absolute scratch. Oh and the coffee made from fresh ground beans, pure water in a french press….oh wait that’s a Taurus thing lol
I’m a Virgo. I’m crazy meticulous. It can take me weeks to get something done simply because all the details aren’t exactly perfect (at least in my eyes). I get really annoyed if at work someone leaves a project imperfect because I can manage to get everything done. Why can’t they?
OMG Thats me!! LOL! DO you spend the first few weeks of a project developing systems to streamline and make the process in place more efficient?
My Bosses would be frustrated by my lack of progress in the first 3 weeks until the product starts rolling out. Then they marvel at the detail and conciseness and the consistency. Because I took the time to recreate and streamline the process.
Our culture values speed over a job well done, blissfully ignoring the time and money wasted in fixing problems created by half ass work that a little time and preparation would have prevented..
Amen! from a Virgo Midheaven, Moon/Mercury conjunction in the 6th (albeit Taurus). Brings a tear to my eye to read this… lol
Eva:
I think I see what you’re getting at now, I saw that you were trying to say that in most of your post but there were some spots that I must’ve been confused by. For the most part I’d agree with your summation of Virgo.
Well, I don’t think the Virgo sign is that bad (at least now) I used to hate being born under it though. Thanks Elsa for the nice vid.
I always thought I could only be called half a Virgo because I never had any fixation on cleanliness and God’s honest truth I could kill myself first before living off on organizational jobs. My room is a chaotic mess and I’m just soo impatient sometimes. I do have the criticism thing, though, basically my critical streak is more to myself and only projected into others when they literaly invite it. Real life example:
“Sweetheart, what do -you think- of this dress?” “It makes you look fat and hugs all of the wrong places. The color doesn’t match with the… seriously from where the heck did you get those horrible shoes!?”
“Do you have to tell it off like that? You’re so mean!”
“You asked me what I thought right? Next time I’ll give you this option: Lie or Dare with dare being the truth. -_-‘”
And other times is even funny (to everyone else, not my father) how rebellious and excentric I can be. I feel out of place with the Virgo sign sometimes and then other’s I’m completely sure I was born with it’s influence.
Yipes! you sound like a Scorpio. I guess that’s where we are karmic cousins. Truth is everything to Virgos.
Though…a bit of advise. ALWAYS blame the dress and shoes
“My goodness, these designers have got a nerve creating a dress like that!! Who do they think they are dressing… Kate Moss? Girl, that dress doesn’t do justice to you. The designer should be dragged through the street with a bolt of their own fabric and hung from the town center tree with measuring tape!”
Because in real truth….that’s more accurate, don’t you think??
Hi all,
It’s nice to find people talking about me :-).
Seriously, I have some stuff in Virgo – sun 5d, the infamous Uranus-Pluto at 14d & 15d, Ascendant 18d, and Moon 28d.
Then there’s Saturn on my descendant, opposite Uranus, at 14d Pisces.
Mercury rules it all from 18d Leo, with lots of edgy minor aspects (inconjuncts and semisesquiquadrate and such).
So, I generally experience life as heavy; I have a photographic memory of every mistake I’ve ever made; I tend to feel lousy at relating to people; (Though, with Venus in Libra in my first house, I get along with others and, I think, come across as a pleasant person to have around.)
My Uranus-Pluto-Ascendant versus Saturn-Descendant oppostion is square to my midheaven, with Jupiter just out of orb in Gemini in my 10th.
On the other side, I have Neptune in the 3rd in Scorpio, trine the descendant, sextile the ascendant.
So, Jupiter and Neptune form two “outlets”, if you will, for my big opposition. Either escapism (Neptune) or communication (Jupiter – Gemini). The escapism’s a lot easier, naturally.
I haven’t paid alot of attention to astrology for many years now, but just a month or so ago it crossed my mind that there was probably something Saturnish going. I realized I’m about due for Saturn opposed natal Saturn, which means crossing all this stuff. Sure enough, last week’s conjunction with Mars was right on my Sun (sextile to my natal Mars at 5d Scorpio).
Since the start of this year, I’ve experienced failure at a more profound level than I’d ever imagined before. I can only imagine I’ve got some more growth experience coming as Saturn finishes walking all over my everything…
Anyway, enough about me for a first post. I’m insanely busy, so I can’t promise to write back, but I’ll try to find time to visit again soon.
p.s ‘d’ is for degrees. I’m a lazy typist.
Kashmiri (or anyone else); I have been Googling degrees for Sun signs, but can’t seem to find out if the degree a sign is in makes a difference (or if it does, what difference does it make?)
I heart Virgos.. I really, really do. I can’t date ’em, but they are probably my first choice for friends (I end up with more Cancers, but I don’t choose them, they choose me). Virgos will swoop in and help you fix the mess you’ve made of your life. Virgos will give you the key to unlock the door you didn’t even realize was there. And all they ask for in return is that you (really) listen to their advice next time, and tell them that they’re not actually dying when they have their next hypochondriac attack. I love all their weird neuroses and fussy habits. I can take the criticism, ’cause I usually deserve it. Also, I luv their great sense of humor – Virgos never get credit for how funny they can be.
I brought this up with a friend the other day, and she pointed out that the people stocking the shelves are probably not Virgos and are just doing it for the paycheck. 🙂
I guarantee the mind behind it had some Virgo, though. 😉
Interestingly, my friend is a Gemini, too, Shannon. 😉
Here’s a funny Virgo thing (I’m virgo rising, mars, pluto, uranus): I have YEARS of magazine articles I have ripped out and put into binders all with the same two themes–organization and efficiency tips! I am addicted to them.
And for health matters my mind is like a steel trap. I remember all the studies and conditions and nutrition stuff. I pride myself on the contents of my refrigerator and the state of my health. And I only go to the best hospitals/specialists even for the smallest thing, and am that way with my son, too.
That’s not overdoing it, just being sure the job gets done right, and by experts! God, I love experts, too.
LMAO! YUP! Welcome my fellow Virgo-an. I do have spiral notebooks full of notes I never see again. Mostly because I have to write things down to remember them usually.
Of course I never thought of making binders. Maybe if I label them on the outside and have a reference list of which binders have which subjects and then number them and shelf them in an obvious place so I do actually reference them once in a great while….
MMMM….
Then again, there are bookmarks on my phone for all the web links I need and then never reference afterwards and just Google them again anyway.
Experts? now that’s another aphrodisiac-ical subject….
