THE STARS ALIGNED: VIRGO SEASON

Here’s everything you need to know about Virgo, including their personality traits and potential for connection with other signs

BY HIRANMAYII AWLI MOHANAN

Virgo is the sixth sign of the zodiac (August 22 to September 22) and is represented by the Virgin. A mutable earth sign ruled by Mercury, Virgo or Kanya, in Vedic astrology, is often associated with precision, critical thinking, service and harvesting.


• PERSONALITY TRAITS
Its ruling planet, Mercury, which governs communication, intellect and travel, is also associated with the sign of Gemini. Virgo’s job, with the help of Mercury, is to sort through the harvest— essentially separating what’s necessary from what’s not. Virgo is dedicated to this task, hence why Virgos are often known as the editors of the zodiac. The “virginity” of Virgo doesn’t necessarily have to do with sexual virginity. Rather, it ties to the sign’s dedication to purity and service. It also demonstrates the notion that Virgos are totally capable of caring for themselves.

Virgo is a mutable sign, meaning it helps us transition from one season to the other (in the Northern Hemisphere, Virgo season arrives as summer begins transitioning to fall), so there’s a mental and physical flexibility and dynamism to Virgo — just like fellow Mercury-ruled sign, Gemini.

• VIRGO IN LOVE
When it comes to love, sex and relationships, precision is a vital Virgo term. The average Virgo is self-aware. While prudishness and seriousness are often associated with Virgo, the truth is that this sign simply won’t give up. A union with a Virgo might seem like a complete transformation of the mind, body and soul since Virgos see love as a holistic endeavour. They will push you to be your most fascinating and best self. If they provide you a reading list or fix your grammar, try not to take it personally. Virgos express their care in this way.

• VIRGO IN FRIENDSHIP
The Virgos in your life will try their hardest to support you in becoming the finest version of yourself. They frequently perceive things as they may be rather than as they actually are, which is why. Since self-care and service are the signs of Virgo, those who share these values are more likely to become friends with or form romantic relationships with them. Virgos, like Geminis, are renowned for their sharp tongue and dry sense of humour. However, they can come off as critical or cold, especially because they do indeed like to “know it all.”

• VIRGO IN CAREER & MONEY
Among the signs of the zodiac, Virgo is possibly the most meticulous. This implies that, whichever line of work they choose, they will be able to identify the kinks, mistakes and subtleties that others miss. 

Virgo excel in disciplines like writing, editing and publishing, thanks to their Mercury ruling. This people-focused sign is constantly thinking about how they can be of assistance and working to make their workplaces and personal lives better. Virgos are known to be highly organised and skilled at creating their own timetables, thus this sign can absolutely work from home as a freelancer or independent contractor. In fact, Virgos often need to be reminded to slow down, take a break and relax since they have a tendency to be so good at practising self-control.

• VIRGO COMPATIBILITY
While there are no hard and fast rules for astrological compatibility, Virgos tend to be drawn to people who can help them learn, develop and fulfil a higher purpose. Here are their love and friendship’s most compatible and incompatible zodiac signs.

• COMPATIBLE SIGNS
Generally speaking, earth signs (Taurus, Capricorn, Virgo) are the most compatible for Virgo friendships and romantic partnerships since they will complement their grounded personality. Virgos often get along well with the water signs, Cancer and Scorpio. Although there may be challenges along the way, Virgos and Pisces can also complement one another and share a relationship through their fluid nature. Additionally, they get along well with other Mercury-ruled Geminis.
