What does it mean to be a Virgo? How does this mutable earth sign show up in the world? And how does that affect your relationships? Read on to find out!
10. Virgos Are Earth Signs
Earth signs are characterized by their dependability, their stability, and their pragmatism. But they are also known for their stubbornness, arrogance, and inflexibility. They may be a little too grounded, but that is what makes them trustworthy. Virgos know that they can’t help people without providing a stable and secure foundation for themselves.
9. Mercury is Virgo’s Ruling Planet
Virgos are ruled by Mercury, the planet that governs our communication and technological prowess. And anyone that knows a Virgo, knows they always try to keep the lines of communication open to avoid misunderstandings. And on the subject of technological prowess, their minds can be quite analytical like a computer.
8. Virgos Are Mutable Signs
Mutable signs come at the end of each season. They are improvisers and the wild cards. It is easy for these signs to adapt to new information and go with the flow. As stable as Virgo is, they are still governed by the ever-changing Mercury. This planet allows them to help others and provide structures by staying alert and adapting easily to change. It helps to think of them as the “Jack-Of-All-Trades.”
7. Virgo Has A Connection To The Hermit Card
In tarot readings, The Hermit card represents the need to follow your own path. Just as the lantern guides the hermit through the dark, this card reminds the querent to stick to your path and principles even if you feel lost. This card is the perfect card for Virgo because it represents the wisdom that comes from age and experience. This card reminds Virgos to gather their thoughts and to consider their options before making major decisions.
6. Virgos Are One Of The Most Common Signs
Virgos are the second most common zodiac sign in the United States. The most common is Scorpio. Virgos make up about 9.4% of the U.S. population. We should all be grateful to live in a world with so many wonderfully kind and practical earth signs.
5. Virgos Are The Powerhouse Of The Zodiac
Virgos are no-nonsense and high-minded individuals who are incredibly organized and just a tad bit fussy. They catch on quickly when it comes to learning new things that interest them. But they rarely have patience for things that they deem a waste of time. They excel in occupations that set clear rules and objectives. They are also unwavering in their desire to help others.
4. Virgos Are Logical, Pragmatic, And Kind
I’ve referred to Virgos as “practical” many times on this list because I can’t stress enough how much practicality and logic mean to them. But that does not mean that they are overly analytical robots. They are one of the most kind hearted-signs in the zodiac. Most of the time, they find that being kind is the most logical thing to be.
3. Virgos Are Anxious And Over-Critical
Virgos are naturally timid and nervous people. They tend to scare easily and suffer from anxiety. When stressed, Virgos can become hypercritical of those around them. Their constructive criticism can come off as a bit harsh. They usually save the harshest criticism for themselves.
