PERSONALITY

Virgo is observant, sly, critical, sensible and patient. You do not like changes, and you are often very conservative within most areas of life. You might seem cold on the surface. You do not find it easy making friends, and you are often very shallow with the friends you have got. On the inside, however, you might actually be overly sensitive, afraid of being hurt and you dare not trust neither other people nor yourself and your own judgement. You are very well aware of your own shortcomings, and often you even exaggerate them.

You feel strongly about other people’s wellbeing, even if it does not always seem like it. And once in a while, you might blossom and display your inner wisdom, wittiness and reason, as well as your understanding for other people’s problem.    

You are very intellectual, methodical, logical, diligent and fast-learning, and you have an ability to see all sides of an issue. You like problem solving, and you combine mental ingenuity with skill to solve the most complicated problems. You have a great sense for details, although you are sometimes all too finical and exact and slow things down all too much. You are very innovative and a skilful technician, but if something despite this should go wrong sometime, you very easily loose your spirit.             

PROFESSIONS

You are very careful with money, which makes you an excellent bookkeeper or accountant. You might also be a skilful publisher, physicist or chemist. Your strong will to help and to attend makes you a good doctor, teacher, nurse, secretary, technician, policeman, musician, critic, spokesperson, or writer of technical literature. You are also interested in history, and you might also be a successful trendsetter within the fashion industry. You like country-life, but you do not fit very well as a farmer, as you detest being dirty.

RELATIONSHIPS

You are charming and have great deal of dignity. You are very affectionate, and you are a great spouse and parent, if yet not very passionate.

You are most compatible to

Leo – Leo’s broad-minded nature is good at over-looking your critical and pedantic side. You like Leo’s way of taking initiatives, and its loving nature and easy-going temper, and Leo likes your intellectual nature. Given that you let Leo be in centre of attention, this should be a successful and long-lasting relationship.

Scorpio – You are fascinated by mysterious and strong-willed Scorpio. Foresighted Scorpio is skilled in avoiding giving you anything to irritate yourself on, and by thus avoiding that unnecessary conflicts arise. Given that you are careful not to hurt the feelings of sensitive Scorpio, this might well be a successful relationship.

Capricorn – You are perfect for each other. There are many similarities and great mutual understanding between your two personalities. You are both of you proper and accurate, so there would not be much to get irritated on from either side. There are great chances for a very close relationship, where you are everything to each other, and where nothing else matters any longer. You are both of you somewhat distanced, but this does not matter, as you know anyway how much you mean to each other.

You are not as compatible to

Aries – Your quiet and cautious nature does not fit well with hot tempered Aries. You do not like Aries’s way of bossing about.

Taurus – You and Taurus has got a lot in common. Both of you want comfort, and both of you are down-to-earth and materialistic. But Taurus’s tendency towards powerful emotional outbreaks now and then might be very trying for your controlled personality, and your tendency towards nagging and pedantry risks to get on Taurus’s nerves, since Taurus is very sensitive towards criticism.

Gemini – Gemini’s cunning and logical nature and your pedantic and demanding personality risk to fast getting on each other’s nerves.

Cancer – Cancer’s quiet and inward nature has got a hard time standing your demanding, critical and pedantic nature. 

Virgo – Two such critical and status seeking personalities has got a very hard time agreeing.

Libra – Libra has got a very hard time standing criticism, and criticise is exactly what you do. Libra is all too easygoing for your pedantic nature.

Sagittarius – Sagittarius’s need of freedom and change might likely be hard for you to bear, and Sagittarius risks to feel locked in and supervised.

Aquarius – Aquarius risk being too unpredictable for your controlling nature.

Pisces – This might feel like an exciting combination between two opposites, but it will take a lot of patience from your part to cope with moody and sensitive Pisces.
