More Astrology Traits and Personality of Virgo

Ethical with High Standards: 

Virgos are often put down badly by many astrologers and written up as being fussy and narrow-minded. But when a Virgo shines, there is practically no sign to match their inner light. An in-tune Virgo is a treat to meet. They are efficient, have strong ethics and need to see the practical worth of any undertaking. When a Virgo is confident within themselves they are the most successful, structured and creative of all the signs. They set very high standards in anything they consider important and can be critical of others whose standards don’t reach their own. 

Self-sacrificing and considerate: 

Many Virgos can be found working in the "service to others" industries, ranging from welfare work, doctors, school-teachers through to practising natural forms of healing like massage, herbal remedies etc. One of the most magical characteristics of the Virgo is no matter how many times life or romance turns sour on them, they still manage to maintain faith in others, refusing to become cynical. There is ingenuity around this sign, a kind-heartedness, which unfortunately is sometimes played upon by others for their advantage. Virgos can often become victims of relationship power-games, where they are mistreated. 

Creative and Sensitive: 

Creative and sensitive, Virgos are delicate people who, like rare and special orchids, require individual treatment to fully blossom into their true unique beauty. Shy, they are happy to allow others to take centre-stage and often generate their time and energy into making those they love happy or successful. 

Reliable and Understanding: 

Virgos are givers and when the chips are down and you need a friend, the one available during those testing times when you need advice or companionship the most, is likely to be a Virgo. Virgos understand human frailties better than most, because they are so deep and reflective themselves. With a Virgo in your life you have someone who understands and cares and any romance or friendship based upon these qualities is certain to be mutually rewarding

Virgo - 2018

LOVE & RELATIONSHIPS

Your love life won’t be the main event this year, but that doesn’t mean you can’t have fun! With expansive Jupiter in your social third house, single Virgos will enjoy lighthearted flirting and fun dates. Check out the options before you commit. Coupled Virgos can keep the sparks lit by exploring new hobbies, getting involved in your community and mingling in fresh scenes. Another reason not to rush? Serious Saturn will spend the next three years in your romantic fifth house, making you even more picky—er, discerning—than you already are.

MONEY & CAREER

Get your message to the masses! With outspoken Jupiter in your communication sector until November, writing, teaching and media are your sweet spots in 2018. No more hiding—your brilliant ideas can change people’s lives. Is it time to rebrand the Virgo empire with sleek graphics and fresh taglines? Tech-savvy Uranus moves into your ninth house of publishing and global connections this May, staying for eight years. From memes to Medium, the Internet is your canvas. But skip the fluff if you want to go viral. With mature Saturn in your creativity zone until 2020, only a polished performance will build your loyal fanbase.

HEALTH & WELLNESS

The Buddha said it best: “We are shaped by our thoughts; we become what we think.” And with mindful Jupiter in your intellectual third house until November, it’s time to feed your worry-prone head some uplifting fodder. Curate a positivity playlist of audio books, podcasts and TED talks. Then pop in those earbuds and get metaphysical while you get physical. Watch what comes out of your mouth, too. Words really do have the power to shape your reality—now more than ever.

FAMILY & FRIENDS

Platonic friendships are the ice cream and the cherry on top of your 2018. With adventurous Jupiter in your social and open-minded third house until November, you’ll meet kindred spirts from all corners of the world. Soak up synergy with people from wildly different backgrounds and put your heads together on a joint project or two. You could get involved in your neighborhood, possibly around an activist or community-improvement effort. (That is, if you stay in one place long enough to put down roots.) In November, Jupiter dives into your domestic fourth house, putting home and family matters front and center. Until then, mix and mingle away!
