Sun in Virgo
You are practical, realistic and dependable. You pride yourself
on your ability to be down to earth and see the world as it is,
not through rose-colored glasses. However, you do tend to
see the world in a cynical and critical way. While you are a
realist, there is also disappointment and disapproval, in your
opinion, of how the world is. In this sense you are a idealist
and have firm ideas of how things should be. You can put
people off with your tendencies to be too critical and knit-
picking. Yet you are even more hyper critical of yourself and a
perfectionist. You see your own faults clearly and punish
yourself for your weaknesses.
As a friend and lover you are extremely caring, going to great
lengths to do nice things for others. You tend to show people
you care by doing concrete things, like cooking dinner, rather
than using words. You have a reserved demeanor and will
withdraw into yourself in uncomfortable situations. It usually
takes a while for people to get to know you. Quick minded, you
make connections faster than others and your wit and play on
words can be hilarious. You are always dependable and your
sincerity lends a certain charm and innocence to those that
appreciate you.
Helping others makes you feel good and you are likely to seek
your career in a some field of service. Life is a serious matter
to you and you are concerned with doing everything the right
and proper way. You cringe when you think you’ve made a fool
of yourself- being held in high regard by others is important to
you. You can be scolding, prissy, fussy and worry too much.
You want all aspects of your life to be in order and can become
pessimistic and a kill-joy when things don’t go the way you
think it should. You tend to be a hard worker and take pride in
your attention to detail and responsibleness. Routines give you
satisfaction because you like to know just what to expect and
knowing your doing a job well done. The proper chain of
command or a knowable hierarchy is important to you.
The lesson of a Virgo is to learn tolerance, see the bigger
picture, and to distinguish between the important and
unimportant and stop stretching yourself so thin. In learning a
balanced sense of judgement and priorities you will better be
able to relax and enjoy life as it is, not as it should be.
