About Virgo

Sanskrit name: Kanya

Meaning of Name: The Virgin

Type: Earth - Mutable - Negative

Virgo is the sixth sign and the backbone of the zodiac wheel. The sign is ruled by the nurturing, orderly and rule-abiding Virgin. The energy of the sign inherits a pure and discriminating nature and also focuses on control. It is a hardworking, detail-oriented, and critical sign. In addition to this, it is one of the most careful signs of the zodiac. The natives of this sign are the adapters and editors of the zodiac.

Virgos are almost and always devoted to their families. Virgo men are not exactly garrulous, and they will stand out as a loner. They are the ones who are gentle, and attractive men over there in the comer, with the thesaurus under their arm. They are the ones with the tick-tock mind, clicking away the hours neatly and methodically noticing the smallest and finer details. In fact, they measure each minute for what it’s worth. Virgo women are quiet with beautiful and soft eyes. The perfectionists of the zodiac wheel are more likely to work late at the office rather than being gregarious at a cocktail party. You usually do not prefer to relax sufficiently and enjoy the carefree social swim. It is mainly because you are basically uncomfortable in crowds. They make attempts to follow the party routine at times, through pure frustration. But duty whistles too insistently to allow for much frivolity.  They are too busy daydreaming. At the same time, they are generally very tired at night due to a long day so devoid to make wishes from stars. Hence, they will seldom be blowing bubbles in the air or building castles in the sand. There will be a definite impression noticed on their faces and look naturally worried at the time of the serious problem. The impression is also noticed while they are struggling to solve problems or are secretly worried about something. 

An observant Virgo is quick to notice flaws and fix them. They may even help others to reach their highest potential. The natives are blessed with the ability to take in a wealth of information and pick out only what’s important and useful. This ability makes them one of the most productive and efficient individuals of the zodiac circle. They have a methodical approach to life and always ensure that nothing is left to chance. Although they are often tender, their hearts might be close to the outer world. Explore more about Virgo. Talk to our experts.
