| Show me the upstanding citizen whose
"rightness" and probity put every other sign to shame
and I will show you a Virgo. No other sign of the occidental
horoscope system (except at times the Capricorn) has such a
well-developed sense of what is proper and meet in any
situation. The Virgo is clear-thinking and almost never misses
the mark. Virgo is logical and keeps a cool head.
Virgos are not coldhearted or indifferent. They are loving
and even slightly grasping about their love objects. Virgos are
both sensual and gentle people. But what is so peculiar to
Virgos is their ability to penetrate the fog of subjective
thinking that surrounds emotion-laden situations. Run up to a
Virgo and cry, "My house is ablaze! My children are inside!
Help! Do something!" The Virgo: "Where do you keep
your ladder?" Practical and down-to-earth, the Virgo can be
looked to by almost any of the rest of us hysterics to keep calm
and do the right thing.
Because Virgo people are methodical, they enjoy living in
organized and pleasantly decorated surroundings. They are
concerned with precision and enjoy keeping order. Meticulous to
a fault, Virgo has to struggle to accept untidiness. Virgo
eschews mess.
Often people in high positions in industry turn out to be
born under the sign of Virgo. In power, however, Virgos
sometimes have trouble getting along with their coworkers. They
have difficulty communicating their displeasure without being
biting and critical. If a Virgo boss thinks John acted badly at
the office party, he may call him on the carpet, saying
something like "John, you acted like a perfect idiot last
Friday night. This behavior of yours is pathological. You had
seventeen Scotches!" Diplomatic, Virgos are not. But their
ability to analyze complex situations is, as evidenced by this
trouncing speech, at the least astute.
Virgos are gifted for art appreciation and arc very often
creative. They have good taste and know how to judge fine
quality. Often Virgos have collections of delicate antiques or
precision instruments. They know how to take care of things and
can be trusted to return borrowed items.
In the shortcoming department, Virgos may like to gamble, try
drugs or dabble in the seamier sides of life. Virgos can become
addicts and near-residents of casinos. Drugs have a seductive
effect on them. A desire to alter Virgo's rigid consciousness? A
need to vacate? La nostalgic de la boue? Whatever. Virgos must
be on guard against self-destructive tendencies.
Virgos can be terrible snobs. For some reason, Virgos often
think themselves separate and not-so-equal beings in relation to
the rest of the world. They like to have "important"
friends and tend to stick up their noses at "trashy"
people. Perhaps, as Virgos are so orderly, anybody slightly less
exacting seems beneath them. In any case, I always feel that
Virgos need a good tickle. They are a bit on the stiff side and
could stand to have a turquoise popsicle melted over their
heads.
