Virgo persons tend to be sharp, responsible individuals, usually quite willing to give a helping hand. They have an eye for details, but can easily "miss the forest for the trees". This sign is rather orderly and in control, and usually values stability, rationality and logic. It has a more calm and collected demeanor, making others feel they can depend on it. Best of all, it can usually do these things without being boring. It can be rather intellectually sophisticated, especially when both the Sun and Mercury are in this sign, although Mars can make the native more technically oriented, or if Neptune is strong it can make him somewhat more inclined to fancy. Even then, they are still interesting to talk to. Whatever the case may be, they do like to know stuff, and often share their knowledge with others. This sign has a great technical sense, and everything worth doing here, is worth doing perfectly. They usually don't do things in a half-hearted fashion, but then may become a bit too fussy about things. In this light, they can be considered passionate. There's a strong critical approach here, and a certain tendency for skepticism. It usually has a professional demeanor and a quick wit, a cool and snazzy appearance. This sign has a way of combining a petty and niggling disposition with a more genial and benevolent character ever ready to lend a helping hand. It tends to be conscientious about many things, although the earthy-neurotic element does not spare this sign which can, with other negative indications, give it a brutal twist. This sign can become quite resentful when it feels it is not shown proper respect. Its unemotional appearance and strongly logical demeanor may be a bit disconcerting to some. In its approach, Virgo can sometimes make people feel inferior. Nevertheless, Virgo tends to be rather humble at its core. This sign prefers truthfulness and usually says what's on its mind, "tell it like it is", unless it is in a deep resentful mode. They love to be right and deeply dislike mistakes, always wanting to fix things. This sign is usually dignified and respectful, however may sometimes seem a bit stuck-up. They love to be active and do things, where other signs may be more lazy. They usually cannot stay passive for long. They need to do something with value, or they'd go nuts. They have a bit of the child in them, although it is difficult to say that they are child-ish, as they are mostly responsible and calculated. They are usually quite approachable as well. Virgo's apparent unsentimental and somewhat reserved character can sometimes make more sentimental people feel it is not "open" enough. Virgo people are usually rather tidy and well-groomed, however in more pathological charts they may become too obsessed about cleanliness and order.
