Strengths & Weaknesses

Strengths – Virgo is considered the most intelligent the zodiac, as the place where Mercury is exalted. They are in fact truly practical and smart when it comes to everyday issues. Analytical and deep, their greatest strength is their mind at they should use it to resolve matters of life that obviously present to them for a reason. Clean and thorough, a Virgo will make everything that was broken, tainted or spoiled, clean, fixed and working again. This is why they are often found as healers, for some Virgos have a talent to fix broken hearts, souls, egos or bodies.

Weaknesses – the greatest weakness of any Virgo hides in their emotional world. While they rely on their mind to give them all the answers they seek, lack of understanding can lead them to hurtful, irrational experiences that they simply don't understand. They need to accept their fragility, sensitivity and approach matters of the heart as valid, important and sensible. The other weakness these individuals have to face is lack of awareness of their self-worth, shown through their need to always think less of themselves, as if they cannot do anything that is satisfying enough.

Virgo In Relationships

As a sign, Virgo is least consistent and reliable of all Earth signs in the zodiac. With all of their attention to detail in their professional or personal life, they will still often fail to look at the watch and be late, forget to call or change plans in the last minute. In most cases, their sense of responsibility and a strong push to become their own perfect version will move them forward and out of situations like these, but it will still be hard to trust them once the trust has been shaken for no obvious reason. A Virgo will seek similar people to socialize with, choose a partner who is open-minded and emotional, and be too strict and judgmental to those who show weaknesses they don't want to see in themselves. Caring and nurturing, when a Virgo loves someone, they will obsessively do everything in their power to make their loved one feel good and satisfied. This can be a bit clingy and simply too much, but if they manage to understand other people's real needs and boundaries, they should be just fine.

As partners - Virgo representatives get extremely caring once they build intimacy. In a way, this gives the impression they are too attached, and some of the more liberal signs could have trouble coping with their need for control. The important thing to understand here is that control is based on fear of losing the one they love, and with clearly set boundaries and love shown daily, this shouldn't be a problem in the long run. In general, a Virgo will be attentive and nurturing, but at the same time reasonable and choosing their partner based on all sorts of different criteria – many of them not linked to emotions at all.

As parents - Virgos will act in a way they think is smart. Even though this may seem almost as if they lack emotion for their children, only their children will know just how much love hides behind the act. The truth is they care deeply but always want to remain rational so they don't lose their temper or do something they will feel guilty about. Too much caution can make them distant, and they need to understand that emotions should be shared with family, more than anyone else, no matter if they are good or "bad". Virgos love discipline and order, and if they stray from compassion, this can become a problem. In general, however, this is a good thing, and they have a natural ability to establish order and make things functional and supporting within their family.

As children - Virgos are more sensitive than meets the eye. Their curiosity can be described as unemotional or detached, and they need parents that can recognize their finest emotions and teach them how to name and express them in a manner. Obedient and modest by nature, they are easily hurt and their sense of self-worth needs to be built from day one. They will usually have habits and be responsible enough to know what falls under their jurisdiction in household activities. However, they have trouble realizing just how good is the work they have done, and need to be acknowledged when they lose sight of what they did good.

Love And Intimacy

If there is one thing a Virgo can't accept in a romantic relationship, it is dishonesty. With Pisces in their , without idealistic views and trust everything else makes no sense at all. The element of Earth they belong to makes them somewhat stable, and when they are aware of all the rational and emotional benefits of the relationship they are in, they will remain faithful and full of support for their partner. Shy and difficult to open up, these individuals sometimes have trouble finding a partner at all, or at least finding someone they can actually connect with. Once they build up faith, they become much more mellow than it might have appeared at first, and this makes them extremely vulnerable.

Virgo Career

A Virgo is analytical and hardworking, with a natural born ability to see where problems lie and fix them in their core. They are great programmers, healers and analysts, but sometimes fail to see their own value, or don't have enough motivation to strive for greatness and build a career they could build with their set of skills. When they choose a job they love, and find the path that is supported by their surroundings, Virgos can easily reach leading positions, aware of their limitations, intelligent, and able to communicate with all sorts of people.

Positive Virgo Traits

Intelligent with a strong ability to analyze, go in-depth, and discover all sorts of important information where no one else has dared to look.

Practical as all Earth signs, but with an accented ability to fix what is broken and clean what is used. This can be a negative trait if it goes to extremes, and a Virgo should always keep in mind that it is not healthy to hold on to things that are broken all the time.

Clean as a sign that speaks of clarity of mind, physiology and sexuality. While this doesn't turn to obsession, it is a quality that makes them good roommates, partners and vacation buddies.

Negative Virgo Traits

Modest and even though this is often considered a positive trait, in the case of a Virgo, it is more often a negative one. Their entire life can be focused on finding a way to express their personality, become aware of their worth and get the respect they deserve. If they turn to the role of a victim, this can become an endless loop based solely on their inability to see what they deserve.

Obsessive about no matter what. Just like Scorpio can stick to its prey, Virgo will stick to information, rarely willing to move from one point if it is functional and proven to work. In a similar fashion, they will stick to problems, analysis, cleaning or toxic people.

Critical for their expectations from their own work, routine, ethics and love life don't stop in their mind. Lack of emotional satisfaction will boost their ability to search for flaws, and they will seem focused to find them in circumstances and other people.

Understanding Your Virgo

Virgo is one of the most difficult signs to deeply understand, simply because of their closed nature and their inability to recognize or share emotions in a socially accepted manner. As a sign that brings Venus to fall, they have to learn how to enjoy life, live it in full color, and stop obsessing about things that "aren't right" just as they are. Their emotional problems will easily lead to hypochondria, while they bury themselves in work and meaningless discussions that never stop. If you want a happy Virgo by your side, the first thing to do is give them enough love so they can relax. Only then will you see their true colors and the beauty they carry within.

~~~~~

Phrases like "I don't care," "I don't really care," "Calm down," and "No one cares" really kill me.

...

God, I'm pathetically fragile....

ARE YOU ****ING SERIOUS

THERE'S A FREAKING THUNDERSTORM OUTSIDE

WHY IS IT THAT EVERY  TIME I DO ONE OF THESE, THESE D*** STORMS COME IN

*pauses to read what I wrote*

I'm sorry, I didn't....

*sigh*

I find cursing to be a sign of low intelligence mostly because most of the people I hear curse really are low in intelligence and can't think of better words to say.

However, when truly raged, there aren't any other words I can think of to accurately describe my anger....

That's also why I'm considering adding damn and dammit to later-coming books as there will be situations that dang or freaking just won't cut it.

Wow...I'm actually starting to scare myself.

WAAAAH THE STORM'S GETTING LOUDER ;-;

I'ma go to bed now before I further ruin any relationships that I still have
