'I can fix that!' or, 'I wonder how this works?' can be phrases that clue you in to Virgo. Virgo's expression is practical, neat and precise, with a high degree of analytical ability. The mutable earth sign of the zodiac, Virgo prefers an approach to life that makes sense, and can be uncomfortable in the face of frivolity.

Ruled by Mercury, Virgo's mental energy likes problem-solving. This is the quality of methodical, painstaking attention to detail, which, when carried to extremes can become hypercritical, nitpicking and tedious. But without Virgo qualities, there would be a lack of precision tools, and a wasteland of disorganized ideas! Symbolized by the Virgin with Sheaves of Wheat, Virgo represents the harvest and the importance of applied knowledge and effort. Virgo's worst form arises in self-deprecating insecurity and general (and sometimes pointed) intolerance.

Where you see Virgo in the chart, there is a need for perfection and efficiency.
