My Journey

This is not a weight loss post. This is a post which lists the information about Virgo's as found in the special Australia Post Virgo Zodiac Booklet. I think that this reflects a lot of who I am. Extra commentary is in italics. Read if you dare ;)

Personality

Virgo is ruled by Mercury, which gives the capacity to analyse and communicate. Virgos have good, quick minds and are interested in acquiring information, which they analyse carefully to discard the useless and store what is of value. They have a prodigious capacity for detail and concern themselves with practicalities rather than ideas.

Neat and fastidious by nature (only at work not at home - with 2 kidlets it is not always possible), Virgos tend to be quiet, practical and unsentimental (really - they forgot to tell me) . They can sometimes seem cold and critical, and do find it difficult to admit they might be wrong (all Dutch people I know have this problem) . However, they take their responsibilities seriously and have a great desire to be useful to others. Virgo likes to be needed.

Many worry too much about their own imperfections, and are never satisfied with their achievements. Their thirst for knowledge and compulsive work habits often hide deep fears of failure. (boy - say it like it is)

Virgos are generally domesticated and most relaxed at home. They are refined and discriminating, and knowledgeable on many subjects. They make loyal friends, and are generally kind, considerate, helpful people. Virgos excel in argument and lively debate and enjoy communicating their ideas, but they need to take care not to alienate others. Generally hard and selfless workers, Virgos pride themselves on their efficiency. (I could get a big head here LOL)

Their best characteristics are their practicality, attention to detail and intelligence. On the negative side, they can be too cautious and lacking in confidence.

Romance

In astrology the Virgin is a symbol of self-improvement and fertility rather than chastity. Virgos usually have a strong sexuality (wooo hooo) , although it might lie dormant until the right partner comes along. Virgoes are interested in relationships rather than casual affairs.

For Virgos, love is devotion and they are prepared to wait for years for the right person (10 years!). They are warm, steady and committed partners, rarely giving any cause for jealousy (not when I am a hot mama - then he might get a reason to be jealous ;) ). They will endeavour to maintain long-term relationships, except if they have been betrayed, in which case a reconciliation is not likely. (too bloody right!)

Thoughtful and considerate, Virgo partners will remember dates and anniversaries. Their worst fault is that they can be very critical.

Most Compatible With

Taurus, Cancer, Libra (DH is a Libran)

Working Life

Virgos like a career to offer a certain amount of security. Their natural qualities of intelligence, diligence, practicality and reliability ensure success in most professions. They make very good teachers, investigative journalists and market researchers, and could succeed in politics and employee relations. Others do well in the medical profession, but by and large, Virgos are not especially ambitious (speak for yourself) . They are generally excellent employees, best in a supporting role. They are very good organisers, meticulous and self-disciplined, and like to be helpful to other people. Quick-thinking, analytical and intelligent on the one hand, cautious, critical and methodical on the other, a true Virgo can handle extremely complicated projects. As writers they have a sharp incisive style.

Health

Health is of a major interest to Virgos, who generally look after themselves well with regular routines of exercise and a balanced diet (well now I do). If they do fall ill, they need to be fussed over more than a little (I deserve it).

Virgo rules the nervous system and stomach. Their naturally high levels of physical and nervous energy need to be channelled to avoid a variety of nervous complaints ranging from butterflies in the tummy to serious hypochondria. Proper attention to diet and exercise can help relieve tension and worry. (and relieve Virgos of unwanted excess baggage)

Indeed, excessive worry is at the root of most personal problems for Virgo individuals. They need to learn to centre themselves and achive a measure of inner calm. Fresh air, long walks and cycle rides revive Virgo spirits. (and help to keep Virgos looking hot!)
