Summary:-
Common sense, intelligence, precision and an insistence on 'doing
right' are the outstanding characteristics of the pure Virgo. There
is an emphasis on technique, which makes the Virgoan approach to
life almost chilling in its efficiency. One astrologer has claimed
that even in their sex lives Virgoans are more notable for the clinical
perfection of their techniques than for genuine enthusiasm. The
Virgoan love of order extends into almost every aspect of life:
a holiday is planned, almost hour by hour, long before it has begun;
a Virgoan in his/her twenties enters into complex saving schemes
which will ensure a prosperous retirement; a Virgoan homeowner will
ensure that everything is in its right place. Evened childhood Virgoans
tend to behave in an ordered way. They are the-pupils whose exercise
books are a model of neatness, who like the dull routine of school
life and the pattern of rules and discipline, and are described
as being 'no trouble at all'. At home they are equally neat and
ordered - a virgoan child never has to be told to tidy his or her
room.
At its worst, the qualities with which the pure Virgoan is endowed
lead to certain 'dryness' - he or she begins to take on some of
the characteristics of a well-programmed computer. If, on the other
hand, the Virgoan can retain tolerance for the foibles and fecklessness
of others, he/she can use the Virgoan capacity for imposing order
on chaos to the advantage of friends, partners, and workmates, and
become both popular and prosperous in the process. Virgoan personalities
have included Albert the Good, the tiresomely virtuous husband of
Queen Victoria; the writers Charlotte Bronte and D. H. Lawrence;
and the comedian Peter Sellers. Sexuality
and the Emotions
Sexuality and the Emotions Pure Virgoans find it almost impossible
to let they go fully. They keep a tight rein on their own emotions
and, if possible, those of their associates. This is not because
they don't have strong feelings, but because they fear them - if
emotional guards are let down, there is a risk that the unplanned
and the unpredictable may manifest themselves in Virgoan life. In
a certain sense Virgoans are right to do so, for there is nothing
less controllable than the passions of a Virgo who gives full vent
to them. In a long-term relationship pure Virgos are rarely happy
with partners who neither possess their own perfectionist outlook
on life and its problems nor are prepared to let the Virgo partner
make all the rules. If, however, they find partners who are prepared
to accept their own exacting standards, Virgoans are affectionate,
loyal and supportive.
General
Character
General Character With Virgo's energy and foresight
goes a concentration upon detail - even the smallest and least significant
aspect of a planned event is usually taken into account by a Virgoan.
This frequently means, that the Virgoan moves smoothly forward along
his or her chosen path through life - neither literally nor metaphorically
is the Virgoan likely to go on a camping trip without carefully
packing both a corkscrew and a tin-opener. It is possible, however,
for Virgoans to become so obsessed with detail that they stop seeing
the broad picture - to go camping, so to speak, with two corkscrews,
but to pitch their tents in a spot liable to flooding. The sort
of over-precise Virgoan who does this, who becomes almost obsessive
in his/her concentration upon detail, is rarely able to relax and
becomes nervous and edgy. This seems to increase the obsession with
detail and, at worst, the Virgoan becomes trapped in a vicious circle
in which he/she expends more and more energy on unimportant matters
and less and less on things of real importance. This applies in
only a minority of cases; most Virgos omanage to 'keep their obsessions
under control, to relax occasionally and to be considered delightful
-if fussy people.
Life-Style
Provided that they can manage to see life and career as a whole,
without excessive concentration on unimportant minutiae, Virgoans
are successful and happy in almost any sort of work and can live
with equal ease in city, suburbia or countryside. What they cannot
stand is mess and muddle: they like to work in a systematic way
to a carefully planned routine. If they are allowed to do this,
they are not only happy themselves, they make others happy by providing
a stabilizing influence in both the home and the workplace. Work
and routine home life are rarely quite enough for the pure Virgoan,
who is a great hobbyist. Virgoan elements are usually a strong feature
of the horoscopes of philatelists, print collectors and other dedicated
amateurs. Sometimes this interest in hobbies takes the form of a
concern with unusual dietary theories, alternative medicine, and
so on; many Virgoans display a more than ordinary interest in their
own physical health and that of others.
