The Basics
Think of Leos as not only the lion, but as fixed fire, and you can easily figure out how they will act in all circumstances.
Virgo
6 Motivation and Element: Mutable earth Symbol: The earth maiden Sun Sign Dates: August 23 to September 22 Positive Keywords: Practical, service-minded, dutiful, self-denying, observant, detail-driven Negative Keywords: Nitpicky, fussy, critical, worrier Virgo is an earth sign. They are grounded and dutiful. Their symbol is the earth maiden, who attends to practical details, so Virgo notices everything. Nothing bypasses their laser vision. While you are speaking, they will watch you carefully, listen to your words, and observe your movements. They will notice your accent, your clothes, and if your nails and shoes are clean, and they will suss any hidden motives you have. If a Virgo visits you at home, they will be able to describe the colour of your carpet and the design of your curtains, plus what crockery you use and if your bathroom is clean. A bit scary, huh? Imagine how they feel, then, seeing all these details with such clarity, yet knowing they simply don’t have the time or energy to get everything neat and tidy and organised the way they’d like. It is easy for Virgos to get bogged down in minor details and lose the overall picture. That is when they need the advice of a less analytical person, someone who can lift them out of the doldrums. Yes, they can get very low in spirits at times. There is so much around them that needs doing. Virgos have a never-ending, monumental to-do list, and they fear that they will never achieve the goals they have set for themselves. Virgos are reliable caregivers. If they have a family, the needs of their loved ones will always come first, even if that involves personal sacrifice. They are good at being selfless and do it often. Virgos sometimes feel as if they don’t even exist because they spend most of their lives doing things for other people, cleaning up messes—both literally and figuratively. 18
