I will try to keep this brief. I know how Virgos like efficiency. Work and service are their passions. They'll find it -- or at least what they define as it -- even if they have to make it up. A Virgo in his heart of hearts wants to be useful. Virgos can be the most selfless, dedicated, indefatigable workers in the world.
They run errands, they terminate chores, they do favors, they tidy up, they fuss over things -- as a way of showing they care. Taking care of all the mundane small details of life, the disposition things that otherwise clutter up the day, attending to the menial small tasks that nobody notices until the work doesn't get done -- is how Virgo shows love.
Earth Virgo
Ok. I know that's not moonlight, roses, poetry and the other stuff of romance ... But those sappy, sentimental things aren't categorically Virgo's style. Virgos believe far more in action than in talk ... And in practical results over flowery promises. To them, love means never having to say, "I wish I had man to help me out here."
Virgo will be at your elbow while you are still drawing breath to speak, contribution all the assistance you could expect from one human ... And more. They are priceless people to have around. Worth their weight in diamonds. Everybody should have half a dozen in his group network.
Once you understand their unusual style of love and friendship, you can forgive them the "lack of romance" thing. The other sure has its advantages. It keeps the wheels greased on the axis of life, while the rest of us get on with the work we need to do.
Virgos are meticulous, efficient, perfectionistic, careful, organized, discriminating, and they pay concentration to details. If one of them thinks you're worth something, that's a ringing endorsement of your value. Virgos don't waste themselves on people or situations with no promise.
They are excellent judges of quality, and are willing to do what it takes to bring out the best in their friends, mates, children, shirt-tail relatives, colleagues, clients, next-door neighbors ... Anyone they think can advantage from their ... Advice. The fact that this often comes in the form of criticism ... Or even a complaint ... Is a piece of group grace often lost on them.
It might help to know that, hard as they are on others, they are even harder on themselves. They can be analytical, critical, fussy, nit-picking, hair-splitting, incessantly unsatisfied expressions of spirit. But they often hold themselves to higher inner standards than anyone they impose on the people nearby them. That they are so willing to toe their own line may buy them a quantum of the tolerance they often fail to offer sufficiently to their "targets for improvement."
There's not much hypocrisy in a well-developed Virgo. If he or she sees a flaw in something or someone, that quality, trait, oversight, error or anyone gets labeled as such -- because that's how they believe things get corrected. It's hard for them to believe some folks are content being less than the very best they can be. And with a Virgo around, you categorically won't be able to do that in peace if you Are one of those slovenly souls.
Virgos are determined to make the world a cleaner, better, more nearly perfect, more efficient, ever-improving place in which to live -- even if it means putting prematurely gray hairs in all our heads. And remember what I said ... About them being tireless? That being the case, in their own small corners of the world, this personal mission that seems virtually inborn in them, coupled with this unending persistence, ordinarily means they succeed.
The kindest compliment you can pay a Virgo soul is to tell him how invaluable he is, and how he can all the time be counted on to turn in a job well done. Expect then to hear several examples of how he wasn't happy with his last operation and how he's planning and prepared to do better next time. Thus does he show he has your best interests at heart -- even as he drives Everybody nearby the bend with his pickiness.
And expect to hear from him as well if he's not happy with the way you're retention up your end of any mutual arrangement. This is an example of his critical nature when it isn't so pleasant in its results. A Leo will pompously warn you how much better he can do your job than you can; a Virgo will gripe bitterly about all the things you do wrong --complete with red-penciled examples, dates and times, episode and verse. There's just no arguing with him when it comes to facts.
Under stress, Virgo power becomes more than critical -- it becomes carping, nagging, nit-picking, hair-splitting, and smug, as if "point-out-the-blemish" has turned into an obsession. It also becomes high-strung, inconsistent, impatient, narrow-minded, sarcastic, impractical, and has mystery concentrating. These are all symptoms of a finely-tuned intellect that has been overwhelmed with too much input, too much to do, too much to consider. Pushed farther still, it will ultimately break down in unblemished paralysis.
Virgo quite often considers itself highly accommodating and even subservient to the requirements of others -- which it is from its own point of view. The thing is, as an Earth sign, it is involved first and all the time with practicalities and results. Thus, doing a piece of work the right way, the best way, the first time is a matter of efficiency in its system of values. And, of course, to be productive is itself the right way, the best way to work ... Always. Just ask any Virgo.
