Virgo - observant, patient, reliable, intelligent, sensible
In a way, Virgos are misunderstood. Their attention to detaill and striving for excellence has in many ways given them a reputation for being overly critical. The fact is that they simply aspire to do things properly and methodically. They are represented by the Virgin, although this association should not be taken literally. Rather, Virgos tend to take on some of the better qualities of a Virgin, such as their modesty and humanity. Some might consider them repressed, but a Virgo would argue that it’s a noble trait as opposed to a negative one. They are usually observant, patient and practical supporters of the status quo. On the surface they can appear emotionally cold, a result of their habit of suppressing their natural kindness. This outward lack of feeling will conceal emotions which they are afraid of giving away because they do not trust others, nor to they have confidence in themselves or their judgments. In fact, there is ingenuity around this sign, a kind-heartedness which, unfortunately, is sometimes played upon by others for their advantage. But Virgos are givers and when the chips are down and you need support, the one there to offer support is often a Virgo. They understand human frailties better than most because of their own depth and reflective nature.
