What’s a Virgo?

Virgos are memorable if they are anything. Virgo is an Earth Sign. They are characterized by loyalty, stability, and being creatures of habit. Interestingly though, Virgo is a Mutable Earth Sign. This gives them the ability to be adaptable, flexible, and change. Sometimes it helps Virgos to do more. Even though they are creatures of habit because of being Earth Signs, but able to adapt because they are Mutable. Other times it creates a tug of war within themselves. They can be extremely stubborn, sometimes, and other times they can be extremely flexible.

They are ruled by the planet Mercury. It instills a high need to stay active in them. It also makes them anxious sometimes, especially about things they want to accomplish. It gives them the tendency to overthink things, think the worst, and be hyperactive. Mercury is also the planet of communication. This helps Virgos in social and work settings to know how to talk to people. It helps them to be quick thinkers and highly analytical individuals. It also helps them to be practical and very organized. Read more about the Virgo Zodiac Sign here: Virgo Traits | Star Sign in The Spotlight

Most Noticeable Virgo Traits

It's true that this article is about the lesser known traits of Virgo, but we thought we would talk about three of their most noticeable traits first. Virgos seem to be born to work, always rolling up their sleeves and getting busy. They are also very persnickety, picking and choosing everything carefully. They're also health conscious in their own way.

Born to Work

Some people work to finance the lifestyle they want. Virgos live to work. Each of them has some type of passion and major change they want to bring about in the world. They have a vision of how they can achieve greatness, and they accomplish that one job at a time. Some of them have a hard time establishing an identity for themselves outside of work. They can also make the mistake of wanting to never take off much, if any time. That's because they love what they are doing so much, they are passionate about it. A lot of other Zodiac Signs envy the fact that Virgos love the work they do so much.

Persnickety

One thing that helps Virgos to love their work so much is that they are so choosy. They won't just settle into any old type of job. They are just as choosy when it comes to relationships. They will turn their nose up at people who offer them the whole world if they are not interested. However, if a Virgo is interested in any type of relationship with you, hold on to your hat, because they really mean it. When it comes to romance, some of them have one true love for life, and devote themselves entirely to that person. They are content to have no lovers and no friends if it means they don't like anyone who wants to be involved with them.

Health Conscious

Virgos have very strong beliefs about health. They are not necessarily the healthiest people, especially with their work ethic. They may neglect getting enough rest or proper nutrition let alone exercise. However, each of them has their own ideas of things that they should specifically do or things they should specifically shun to support their health. Virgos seem to have no difficulty sticking with the most boring diet for life if they feel that it's most beneficial. If they are fitness buffs, they seem to always be able to find time for their exercise regimen. If they believe something is good for their health, they seem to be able to prioritize that no matter what. Some other Signs struggle and say they don't have the willpower or the time. Not Virgo.

Lesser Known Virgo Traits

You probably already knew all those things about Virgo, though. There are some Virgo traits that you probably don't know about though. They choose when to be emotionally reserved, but can be extremely anxious and jittery at other times. They can be brutally honest, much to other people's dismay. They are also very loyal though. Read on to find out ten lesser known Virgo traits.

Emotionally Reserved

Virgos are excellent at separating their emotions from situations. Their practical side comes through and helps them to be all business like during times when some other Signs would be emotional basket cases. Sometimes that's good and sometimes that's bad. Virgo has a hard time understanding more emotional Sign’s need to be emotionally supported and validated. Virgos will also stuff their own feelings down sometimes because they just don't want to deal with them and that's not a good thing at all. Emotions have to be dealt with.

Jittery

Ruling planet Mercury makes Virgos jittery sometimes. Part of the reason that they are emotionally reserved is because getting emotional gets on their nerves. If they let their emotions go too much, they will take control of them completely. Sometimes that happens with Virgos. They have a nervous energy, impatient for results. They aspire to be the best, have the best, and do the best, and they worry that they won't be able to achieve that. It makes them nervous and it wears on them. Virgo, stop worrying. Don't think of life as nothing but a race that's filled with either accomplishments or failures, and just enjoy the journey sometimes.

Vain

Virgos really do achieve a lot through their hard work and they are proud of that. To be fair, they should be. Unfortunately, they forget a few things. They sometimes forget that they are not the only ones who achieved these goals, but typically they had a whole team of people that were helping them. Even if they accomplish something by themselves, they may think they are more accomplished than they actually are, and they can struggle to be humble at times. Pride and humility, like anything, should be balanced. Virgos can also be on the cusp of Leo. Read more about that here: What Does it Mean to Be a Leo and Virgo Cusp

Truthful

Virgos like to keep it real. They have a lot to do, and don't have time to keep up the appearance of dishonesty. They will look you in the eye and tell you if they want to fire you, if they don't like you, or if they think you are the greatest thing since sliced bread. They can be brutally honest and say things that are incredibly harsh too though. Sugar coating is not necessarily their best quality. Virgos are chronically busy people. Keeping up appearances takes too much time- time they do not have. It comes in handy because you never have to wonder where you stand with them. You may be surprised when they take action you had not expected, but if you think about it, Virgos give people plenty of warning that it's coming. They appreciate being extended the same courtesy.

Ambitious

It's a big world out there. Virgos want to leave their mark in it. They have a lot of get up and go, and know how to roll up their sleeves to make their dreams come true. They understand that the only thing that ever set itself to success was a hen, and they know they are people, not hens. They have an impossibly long To Do List and they have amazing focus to achieve what they want. Their heroes have achieved greatness, and they aspire to be other people's heroes someday. That only happens with hard work. Virgos believe very strongly in whatever it is that they are doing, and they don't mind long-term goals that take lifetimes to achieve. A lot of us could take a lesson from the focus and ambition that Virgos have. Earn how to achieve success through self-motivation here: How to Accomplish Anything by Self-Motivating

Self-Critical

Persnickety Virgos make some people think that they believe they are perfect. Nothing could be farther from the truth. Virgos will be criticizing and analyzing everyone else, and criticizing and analyzing themselves while they're doing it. They work very hard at self-improvement, and seek perfection in all that they do. They can't do that unless they observe and criticize themselves. Some Virgos take it too far and only care about winning contests and achieving success. They pride themselves on all the wonderful things they get done. Some Virgos have to learn to be gentle with themselves and accept the fact that humans are in fact imperfect.

Micromanaging

Speaking of casting a critical eye on people, while Virgos are critiquing everything, they come up with what they believe are the perfect solutions. At least they believe that. Not everyone agrees. Virgos like to be in charge of everything because they believe their way is best. Sometimes they're great at being in charge. Other times, they try too hard to micromanage people who are doing their share already. They can be overbearing while they are flexing their boss muscle and drive everybody nuts. Sometimes they're not trying to be annoying, but genuinely trying to help. Sometimes they really do have the best solutions.

Relationship Challenges

Virgos make the mistake of prioritizing things over people sometimes. They prioritize their goals, work, and views over humanity at times. It can create relationship challenges. When a Virgo falls in love or decides they want to be friends with someone, they mean it, but they don't always show it. “I’m busy” does not bode well for relationships sometimes. Everybody gets busy. Different people know how to prioritize different things. If a Virgo makes the mistake of prioritizing unnecessary work over their people, they typically expect people to be understanding and some people don’t.

Loyal

Virgos will be loyal to people, projects, and causes. They have very strong beliefs that stick with them through life. They have a lot of staying power and will work through problems rather than leave when things get tough. They have high tolerance levels for frustrations, issues, and problems in general. They have an understanding that the grass is greener where you water it instead of elsewhere. Rather than leave a brown patch of grass, a Virgo will dig in, fertilize it, water it, and end up with the greenest grass of anywhere else.

Emotional Walls

Virgos have a terrible habit of building emotional walls around themselves. That's because they have a lot to do and they are trying very hard to be highly practical individuals. They believe they do not have time for emotional meltdowns because it does not fit into the budgeted time frame that they have outlined for themselves. They would rather be working toward their goals than experiencing their emotions. This can cause long-term emotional health problems though. Not dealing with how you feel about things and stuffing it down inside you doesn't make the feelings go away. It makes them get worse over time. So Virgo, make time to face your emotional side and deal with those emotions. It is worth your time.

A Last Word

Virgos try to maintain an appearance of perfection, but they have just as many imperfections as the rest of the Zodiac Signs. They are workers, and they focus so hard on the work they do that they sometimes try to separate themselves from their humanity. Specifically, they try to focus on practical things so heavily they can lose sight of what's truly important- the emotional side of us who needs to reach out and love. Don't believe for one second that Virgos can't have successful relationships. They do, and they will stick around for the long haul. They just have to remember that they have to work on their relationships as much as they do their career and personal goals. Don;t think Virgo doesn’t love hard- because they do. They just have their own way of showing it. Learn how each Zodiac Sign shows love here: Does She Love Me? How the Zodiac Signs Show Love

Virgos believe that life is for living and the thing that makes them happiest in life is achieving their goals. They love to be productive and love to make great things happen. They understand that happens through hard work. They are highly critical people who seek perfection, and some people think Virgos feel they have no flaws. They are just as critical of themselves as they are of others. Some people think that Virgos are so serious that they don't care about relationships. Virgos care very deeply about their relationships. They just have a hard time prioritizing time with loved ones over time with work. They know how to share their achievements with the people who they love, though. It's not all for them, but for you too!
