Happy Birthday Virgos! Welcome to my weekly Hip Hop Astro blog! I’m here to break down the multi-layered Virgo personality, career aspirations and the nitty and gritty details of The Virgin. Let’s get started.
The Basics
Virgo, the 6th sign of the Zodiac and ruled by Mercury reminds us all of the value of public service. Mind you, this is not the jumping up and down, shouting ‘Look what I did’ type of service. It’s more like the satisfaction gained from knowing that whatever is presently looking great could not have been possible without those who worked diligently to cultivate and refine the finished product. From those results alone, Virgo’s obtain a great deal of satisfaction, even if they’re not publicly recognized or showered with accolades. Taking compliments very modestly and operating below the radar are right up the Virgo’s alley. More concerned with perfection than the limelight, separating the wheat from the chaff is a treasured past time for these natives.

The Details
Armed with a very acute sense of discrimination, a Virgo sun can instantly tell you whether ‘it is’ or it ‘is not’. These are the editors, proofreaders, I-dotters and T-crossers. Precision and purity are the watchwords for the day. Don’t get Virgo twisted, the archetype of the ‘Virgin’ is not who you think she is. Consulting Webster, one of the definitions for the word virgin is ‘In a pure and natural state; unsullied’. Natives of this sign are in a constant mode of observation, analysis and perfection when it comes to their thoughts, words and actions. Have you ever been stuck on how to say it, or spell it right? Do you need a rundown of which gluten-containing grains to avoid in your diet? You may have to wait a while until you search the zodiac and arrive at the letter ‘V’, but your search will be amply rewarded. They may not tell you, but they’ve re-recorded their voice mails ten times over until they’re 100% happy with how they pronounce every word.

The Personality
Displaying a cool and detached demeanor, Virgo’s are the types who enter a room and find a cozy place from which to analyze the behaviors and interactions of others. When their calculations have reached a degree of satisfaction that suits them, only then are they able to join the party. Like Gemini, who is also Mercury ruled, information is power. While the twins may be the distributor of such information, Virgo is more likely to retain or conserve it until they deem conditions to be perfect.

In the Office
Employers tend to love Virgos because of their efficiency, organizational skills and promptness. ‘If you’re less than ten minutes early, you’re late’ could surely be a Virgo maxim. Yes, this is the person whose first day at their new job may be spent sanitizing their workspace and wiping their phone
