What’s a Virgo?
August 23 to September 22 may be the most efficient time of year because that is when Virgos are born! Virgos are Earth Signs. This means they are reliable, stable, and materialistic. They are also service oriented, so they are constantly on the lookout for projects, positions, and people who they believe need their help, or “help.” It is very important for Earth Signs to feel needed, but it’s not all for their sake. People really do benefit from the tireless work of an Earth Sign. Once earth Signs are dedicated to a cause, situation, or relationship, they are in it for the long haul.
Virgo is a Mutable Sign. Mutable Signs are supposed to be flexible, adaptable, and smoothly transition. In their very own way, Virgo is- as long as it is on their terms and everybody else is doing things their way. Virgos are smart organizers, and able to think on their feet, roll with the punches, and make adjustments to ensure that everything goes according to their plans. They might annoy everybody else because they make the rules, but surprisingly, their rules work- usually. Read more about Virgo here: Virgo Traits | Star Sign in The Spotlight
Virgo’s Five Best Traits
It’s true that this article is about Virgo’s negative qualities, but it’s not fair to talk about someone’s dark side without discussing their good qualities first. Besides, we admit we might need Virgo to do something for us, so we don’t want to upset them. They are some of the hardest workers on earth and very honest. Their discerning eye makes them detail oriented and they are master organizers.
Hardworking
Some Signs only work to finance the life they want. Virgos live to work. They eat, sleep, and breathe work. Some Signs seem to gravitate more towards the arts or technical fields, but with Virgos, you never know what they will fall into. Whatever they are working on, they give it 110% and when they collapse from exhaustion, they get up and work some more. Virgos know that hard work is the secret to success, no matter what you are doing, and the rest of the world takes notes. Being such a hardworking Sign makes them highly career driven, but what if it’s time to change careers? Find out here: Is it Time for a Career Change?
Honest
It is rare that you will have to wonder whether Virgos like you or not. They are the least likely Sign to lead someone on who they are not attracted to, and one of the most likely to say whatever they think to your face. They can come off as harsh because of this, but some people find this refreshing and say Virgos keep it real. They might not broadcast who they plan to fire today the second they have the morning meeting, but said employees will not be shocked when it’s their head on the chopping block. Boss Virgo let them know all along they didn’t like them.
Discerning
Virgos are born to organize, direct, and lead. If they can’t rely on their good taste to help them make decisions, entire programs and organizations will go off the rails. They are not the fashionistas Libras are, but they will dress the part- with the highest level of appropriateness possible. They will include only the best people and details in whatever they are doing. Nobody can deny that Virgos have a great eye for the best things. They are also highly skeptical, and that’s a good thing. Find out why here: In Praise of Skepticism- Why Question Things?
Detail Oriented
That discerning eye makes Virgos detail oriented. They are acutely aware of every mistake constantly on the hunt for solutions. They know what your best and worst traits are, and they are highly aware of their own. Their attention to detail helps them to pinpoint tiny nuances that most people don't notice. Virgos get a bad rap for this, but it's a powerful strength. They will be the ones to catch small problems before they snowball into bigger ones and they save everyone including you a lot of headaches because of this.
Great Organizers
Virgos are ruled by the planet Mercury. It is a planet of communication, detail, and processing information precisely. Mercury brings a lot of tireless energy to Virgos. They might seem absolutely manic when they're working on their planning and organizing, but this just means that they get a lot done. They can completely consume themselves with organizing things to the point that they will have an itinerary down for a relaxed family vacation, but hey, that just means that you get to see everything that you wanted to.

Virgo’s Ten Worst Traits
Virgos are pretty awesome…until they're not. They are “always right”- if you ask them- and they will completely dismiss people for petulant reasons. They can be emotionally cold and complete perfectionists which gets on everyone's nerves. Read on to find about ten negative qualities Virgos embody, and exactly what to do about those traits.
“Always Right”
Virgos are acutely aware of their own issues. They will be the last ones to admit it. You better not point it out either or they will never forgive you. It's because so many people look to them for help, support, and guidance, and they feel a big sense of responsibility. They also have a lot of things to do because a lot of people go to them for things. They don't have time to argue with you every time you disagree with every little thing they do. If they're really screwing up, respectfully pull them aside, and discuss it like an adult. Virgos want good results and if you have a better way of doing things, they will listen.
Bossy
Virgo applies all of their energy to things that they believe in. Virgos very rarely pursue goals that only benefit themselves, so whatever they're working on is to everyone. When they're in charge, they know that they can't do everything themselves, so they need to delegate. They can be very harsh about telling you what to do instead of respectfully asking for it. When they do this, tell them you will be happy to help them but you can't work with them until they're respectful and they will straighten up.

Dismissive
Virgos are perhaps the most persnickety Sign in the Zodiac. You wouldn't know it by looking at them sometimes because they are usually so overworked. How can a sign that neglects regular haircuts, shaving, and ironing badly wrinkled clothes say someone else isn't up to their standards? Ask a Virgo because they do it all the time. If there is one little thing they don't like about someone, they will completely dismiss them as a human being. You can slowly prove yourself to them if you need to, but you might choose to walk away instead.
Emotionally Unstable
When you eat out of vending machines, refuse to take time off, don't wear nice clothes because you don't have time, and you don't get enough sleep because you are working so hard, it will take its toll on you. Virgos also take on too many other people's problems and it starts to wear on them emotionally. If you don't want to deal with it, just step out of the room when they start to have a meltdown, or you can hold their hand and tell them that you're there to listen and do whatever you can to help. They will appreciate you for that. You can also tell them to get a psychic reading and there are some benefits of that. Essential Questions for Psychic Readings: Uncover Your Path to Growth
Emotionally Cold
You would think somebody who was on the hunt for ways to make the world a better place by organizing one group or organization at a time would have the warmest heart on the planet. In some ways Virgos do, and some ways they are the coldest people who were ever born. Virgo is a goal oriented sign and if you don't align with their goals, you don't align with them. They have a very bad habit of coming across as everybody's friend when they first meet them, but if someone warms up to them too quickly, they turn into Mr. or Mrs. Freeze to get this new person who is getting on their nerves to go away. Don't take it personally if they treat you this way, just know that's the way they are.
Judgmental
Virgo’s discerning eye makes them judge not only things, but situations, and things in the past as well. They are built to find problems and solve them. They go overboard with it sometimes. Unfortunately, they transfer that over into being overly judgmental of people. They work very hard to be the best versions of themselves that they can be and don't want to admit to their problems sometimes. Looking down on people who don't deserve it is one of the problems that Virgos have, and if you don't like it, just tell them you don't want to hear it when they start cutting people down. Here is what to do if you can’t change your Virgo’s mind about being judgemental: If You Can’t Change Minds - Letting People Be Wrong
Obsessive
One Virgo, who the author worked for years ago, told her that his philosophy was that the most successful people in management never worried about what time they went home at night. He completely missed the fact that it broke his wife's heart because he completely neglected his marriage. Virgos can over focus so strenuously on something that they're working on that they forget everything else including their lovers, family, friends, and their health. If your Virgo is guilty of this, sit down and have a talk with them and remind them that they need to balance whatever it is that they're working on with the rest of their lives. Obsessing over something does not assure success. It's unhealthy.
Perfectionists
Virgos seek perfection. A lot of times they find it. And a lot of people look to Virgos to help them perfect what they're working on. A lot of beautiful things are brought into the world because of this. However, Virgos take it too far, seeking problems where there aren't any, and they cause a lot of emotional problems for people that they don't deserve. If your Virgo is taking it too far, looking for negative things where there are none, pull them aside. Flat out look them in the eye and tell them that's what they're doing. Hearing from someone they trust might help them to calm down. One Zodiac sign that's very good at speaking with Virgos is Taurus, who has their own dark side, and you can read about that here: The Dark Side of Taurases and How to Deal with It | Mysticsense
High Strung
Being born with such a discerning eye that you can pinpoint all the major and minor problems that are going on all around you, combined with a strong sense of responsibility can make you never shut off the desire to fix things. Can you imagine what that is like? That's just not fair to Virgos that they are stuck with that, but it's the way they are. When your Virgo is wound up tight over things and can’t decompress on their own, pull them aside lovingly and reassure them that the Sun rose and sat on its own before they were born and will continue to do so after the day that they die. Remind them that they can't fix every problem but you love them for trying.
Workaholics
Virgos throw themselves so hard and heavy into their work that they never want to stop working. On the other hand, there are some people that are so lazy they don't want to work and they're jealous of Virgo's success. The author does not know how to help Virgos with being a workaholic. They were born to work. Just remind them to do their best, eat right, and you think they're doing a great job and it will help them feel better and they might actually get a little sleep once in a blue moon.

Virgos are some of the most hardworking, well-organized, well-meaning people in the Zodiac. Intentions aside, they can be emotionally cold, unbelievably dismissive of people, and so high strung, you want to strangle them. These things can make them more than difficult to deal with. If you understand your Virgo, you know that communication is key, and reminding them to take rest breaks and be nice is important. Everybody deserves to have at least one hard working Virgo in their life, and if you do, you are very lucky indeed!
