Virgo has
a mission. The mission of Virgo is to separate what is useful from that
which is not useful. This is called discernment. This is a sign that needs
to feel a sense of usefulness and purpose. Someone needs to create order
from chaos. They've earned a reputation for being too critical. Don't
take their criticism personally. Everyone and everything is subject to
the same scrutiny. Those who are comfortable in chaos will not last long
around Virgo. Their perfectionist drive comes from their innermost being.
They may seem picky and uptight to other people but the reason why Virgo
can get so uptight is because theirs is a never-ending job. There is always
work to be done and so much of it is not fully appreciated by other people.
Remember, Virgo has a large contribution to make to the world. Do you
want your dentist to be a slob? Do you want to sleep on unchanged sheets
in a hotel room? Do you care if the cook washes his hands? Virgo has taken
on the job of worry and concern over the everyday duties that actually
make life liveable in so many unseen ways. Virgo is the civilizing effect
on mankind.
Virgo is into reality. They don't dream about what is possible- they do
it. If the five senses cannot detect it, then what use is that? Virgo
has a talent for logical analysis. Virgo and Gemini are both ruled by
Mercury. Virgo sorts through the Gemini function which takes in everything.
It sorts through it and files away that which may be used later if necessary
then tosses out that which has no use. Pure Virgo energy always knows
where the scissors are. A place for everything and everything in it's
place. If you won't do it, then they will. Virgo likes to help. It's a
service-oriented sign.
Thank a Virgo today for being humble enough to do what needs to be done.
For taking the time to fuss over the small details which enhance the quality
of life in so many practical ways.
