The Basics

You are known for your practicality, analytical nature, and hard work. Your sense of duty and kindness are among your best qualities.

Despite these positive traits, you can be overcritical and a perfectionist, which can sometimes lead to stress and anxiety. You tend to be modest and reserved, yet are extremely loyal and patient when it comes to your relationships.

Practical:

The Sun in Virgo gives you a practical and analytical nature. You desire purity and perfection in everything you do. You are a hard worker and have a strong sense of organization and efficiency and are skilled at managing tasks and projects. You're modest (even shy) and often prefer to work behind the scenes rather than seeking attention like a Leo.

You enjoy analyzing people, situations, and problems, always wanting to know how, why, when, and where. It can be difficult for you to relax because boredom is something you cannot stand. You want to be busy, either doing or learning.

The Service-Oriented Perfectionist:

Your natural inclination is towards service and helping others. You have a desire to be useful and productive, and often find fulfillment in serving others in some way. However, your desire for perfectionism can sometimes lead to worry and anxiety, as you tend to focus on the details and potential problems rather than the bigger picture. You can also be quite critical of yourself and others, which can lead to feelings of inadequacy or judgment.

Resourceful and Efficient:

Your resourcefulness is one of your strongest assets. You have a talent for finding practical solutions to problems and are often able to make the most out of limited resources. You're efficient in everything you do and have a knack for streamlining processes and procedures. Your attention to detail means that you rarely make mistakes, and when you do, you're quick to correct them.

Overly critical:

Your strong attention to detail and pursuit of perfection can sometimes make you overly critical, both of yourself and others. It's important to remember that nobody is perfect and to learn to give yourself and others grace for mistakes.

Modest:

You are generally modest and understated, preferring to let your actions speak for themselves rather than boasting about your accomplishments.

Loyal:

In relationships, you are loyal and committed. Once you have developed trust in someone, you will be a steadfast and reliable partner or friend.

Work-life:

At work, you thrive in environments where your attention to detail and organizational skills are valued. You work best when tasks are clearly defined, and you enjoy creating systems and processes that improve efficiency.

The Effects of Worry on your Health:

All Virgo placements confer a nervous energy to its natives.  You have a tendency to worry, as you desire perfection and are always thinking about how something can be made better or how you can do something better, even after the fact.

This tension can affect your physical health, causing intestinal disorders. You need to develop a positive outlook on life, as this has a direct effect on your health. If you become too anxious, you can become a hypochondriac.

Virgos are often health-conscious and have a deep appreciation for natural remedies and holistic healing practices. You have a keen understanding of how the body works and are often interested in learning about different diets, exercise routines, and other health-related topics.

Whether old or young, you need a quiet period each day in order to rest your active mind. In any case, many Virgoans look much younger than their years.

Transits to your Sun, especially from the outer planets, greatly affect its expression as well.
