Who Is Virgo?

Virgo is known as “the virgin,” which means that she’s always innocent until found guilty. However, she’s likely all too aware of the details to escape any evidence against her to ever be proven that she is. Therefore, Virgo is sometimes a wolf in sheep’s clothing.

When Virgo lives within the shadow side of the Virgin’s characteristics she’s highly critical, systematic, and practical to the point of potential OCD. This fair maiden can also be somewhat of a hypochondriac, hyper-aware of her body and overanalyzing issues. She is a rather amazing problem-solver with an insane amount of intellect, and yet she’ll likely continue striving for perfection.

When she is living true to her lightness, she may be a tender, innocent child who observes the most obscure things and mending broken hearts. She possesses a natural gift of healing and may act as a nurse to those in need. Although she’s an earth sign, Mercury rules her, which gives her the gift of analysis with dominion over the physical realm.

Highly intelligent, Virgo sun is a great listener and gives incredibly calm and logical advice. As an earth sign, however, this placement tends to have some trust issues, usually due to their inability to escape the constant gnawing thoughts circling within their heads. They overthink, they overanalyze, and them often causes them to miss opportunities.

Virgo might forever contemplate the tiniest thing, fearful of making the wrong decision. In the end, what has happened as that they’ve overwhelmed themselves, while believing they were a nuisance to others who didn’t notice their stress. For them, fully committing to a single choice can be a very frightening thing.

Subtle and secretive, Virgo is oftentimes the embodiment of a quirky wallflower. Although they move quickly and frequently, they carry themselves quietly and with grace. As they go, they may tidy things up, as they’re the type to live a happier lifestyle when it is minimal.

Having a selective nature, they have picky eating habits. While they can come off as fussy, they’re mostly just too critical of themselves, beating themselves within their inner monologue over something miniscule. If you need a hand, however, Virgo is the first one to lend one considering they’re fulfilled when serving others.

Modest, meticulous, and reserved, this is the person you want to have working next to you if you tend to see the bigger picture. Virgo rarely misses any details, which is their strongest quality. Not to mention, they’ll be there next to you, ready to mend your wounds.

Hating any spotlight on them, Virgo Moon is extremely guarded! They prefer being the leader who plays his part in the background. This placement becomes uncomfortable and anxious whenever they must have many pairs of eyes on them at once.

With Moon here, these individuals can be silently critical of the people within their lives, while they’re heavily cautious of vocalizing their thoughts and feelings. Much of this is due to their lack of confidence in themselves. However, this sign may flourish with support and encouragement from the people in their immediate circle.

Micromanaging others comes from their desire for perfection. They have high expectations towards tasks and chores, but they get a lot done quickly, while they burn out without other’s help. Yet, if others don’t allow them to help, they find it difficult to feel useful.

Virgo Moon is diligent and happiest when they have control over their lives. They aim to please and show their love to others by teaching them about the things they’re interested in. Somewhere between teaching and loving is the area that they feel most at home.

Daily routine is important for Virgo, as they’re able to feel more balanced whenever their responsibilities are managed. They can become lost whenever their routine is disrupted, suddenly becoming messy, neurotic, and nervous. If they’re secure and allowed to tamper with the environment’s feng shui, they’re easily contented with such simple pleasures.

Virgo rising radiates an aura of intelligence and have rare sensitivities. The world wants to keep them safe, as there exists an innocent and almost angelic energy surrounding them. Very few may realize that they’re actually not prey, but they’re the unsuspecting predator in disguise.

They have a quiet charm that attracts many people to them, although they never try too hard to be liked, while they generally are anyway. They’re very self-critical and may easily guilt themselves if they make a simple mistake. While they might have a knack for keeping it cool on the surface, they could be seething on the inside.

Although they’re friendly, Virgo rising is also cautious when meeting people and anxious in new situations. Those acting erratically or loudly make them nervous, but this feeling is more from annoyance than fear. They’re simply not the type to enjoy an unnecessary scene.

Both Gemini and Virgo Rising have astrology charts that are ruled by the planet Mercury. The difference between Gemini and Virgo, however, is that while Gemini is an air sign and is often extroverted, Virgo is a much more grounded earth sign. This means that their mind never tires of taking in new information, but they have less of a need to converse about it the way that Gemini does.

Virgo Rising Appearance

Whenever a rising Virgo is living their best life, they’re incredibly clean and well put together. While their style is sleek, modest, classy, timeless, and chic, it’s also slightly quirky. These individuals prefer muted tones or black and white over flashiness and pops of color.

Rising Virgos usually have small, heart-shaped and ovular faces with delicate, almost pixie-like facial features. They may have a small nose and a narrow mouth, while their complexion is typically clear and light. Their bodies are either petite or thin, with slender wrists and ankles.
