Virgo Characteristics
People born under this star sign or with Virgo rising are well known for their love of order. Mean-spirited people would say that Virgos are fussy and obsessed with cleaning. In fact, they are extremely organised and practical. Giving into chaos would waste valuable time, so each drawer and folder has a purpose. With Mercury as its ruling planet, the Virgo zodiac sign has a sharp, analytical mind. You'll often hear questions like "Does that serve a purpose?" or "What can I learn from that?" Virgos never forget an important date or an item on their to-do list because they have a great memory and keep a close eye on things.
It's no surprise that most Virgos are good conversationalists. They listen carefully, remember even the smallest details, and have a wealth of interesting general knowledge to share. This star sign does not seek admiration, but that does not mean they are a shrinking violet. Virgos are genuine, have a great sense of humour, and are not afraid to express their opinions. Nothing escapes their critical eye, and they're more than happy to make an ironic, smug remark that exposes other people's nonsense. Excessive criticism can lead to a Virgo becoming self-absorbed. Virgos also have a strong sense of self-control, which can make them appear aloof or arrogant.
Their high quality standards are also reflected in a variety of other areas. People born under this star sign frequently prioritise high-quality food, carefully select their clothing, and pursue meaningful careers. As a mutable sign, Virgos want to make a difference and see their efforts pay off. That is why many Virgos work as landscapers, psychoanalysts, or journalists. Alternatively, they could use their strategic and precision skills to work as IT architects, project managers, or financial advisors. In this latter position, they are particularly interested in future-oriented topics such as sustainable investing.People born under the sign of Virgo prefer to work quietly and behind the scenes. They haven't received much praise for this, but that doesn't bother them. Because of their connection to the earth, Virgos are pleased if they can contribute to making the world a better place.
