Its a earth sign.
It symbolizes wisdom that has been gained through experience
ruled by the planet Mercury which controls the intellect and communicative functions.
The individuals borne under Virgo are inclined to be practical, industrious, and adaptable. They seem to
possess a remarkable eye for detail. Virgos are shy, but are waiting
for that perfect love, so they are also idealistic. Disappointment will
harden them to become cynical and skeptical, which is due to
disappointments that have been either discriminating in nature or on a
more sensitive issue. Virgos are known to be intellectual, but yet
critical, especially of their own self and of the circumstances around
them.
Individuals born under the sign of Virgo tend to be very
health-conscious and try to stay in good health by participating in a
regular exercise program so they can continue to stay physically fit.
They tend to enjoy tennis, swimming, biking, fishing, racquetball, and
sailing, but not competitively, just mostly for fun. Whatever skills
Virgos seek, they aim to be the best in it. They tend to have talents
in a variety of crafts such as designing and dressmaking, and may
participate in the art of cartography and philately. Virgos enjoy
reading books and magazines as well as writing, so communication is
very important to them.
They are service-oriented in seeking to improve the environment by
pursuing careers in health fields such as teaching and counseling.
Virgo the Virgin rules the sinus, respiratory system, and bowels of the
body, so they are prone to colds, flu, allergies, constipation, and
problems with the intestines. They complain of black moods or bouts of
depression and can be despondent at times.
