Understanding Virgo: Basic Traits and Characteristics

Roughly August 23-September 22

Virgo is the sixth sign of the Western Zodiac also known as the Tropical Zodiac.

Virgo is symbolized by the maiden or the virgin and ruled by the planet Mercury (shared with Gemini), who was also the messenger of the Gods. Virgos are notoriously known as being the perfectionists of the zodiac, liking things done the right way and with practicality. It doesn’t mean that Virgo doesn’t know how to have a good time, it just means that things have to have their time and place first.

Virgo is represented by the colors navy blue and gray, who couldn’t predict more classical and practical colors for this placement? Like their other earth elements they aren’t big fans of change, but being the mutable quadruplicity are a little more likely to budge and move freely. They are analytical and likely to make sure they are making the right major (or minor) decision whether it be what their having for dinner or their career choice. Not likely the first to come out of their shell at a party, Virgo will eventually warm up and be a companion that will be sure to prioritize anyone and anything that is important to them.
