If you’re reading this, then you or someone you know is a Virgo. The sign of Virgo is the symbol of The Virgin and it falls between the dates of August 23 and September 22. If you have ever been acquainted with someone born under this sign, then you probably understand why they are named for The Virgin.
One of the first things you will note about the Virgo is his/her ability to be completely and totally knowledgeable about certain things (usually something that they are particularly good at or interested it) yet completely lacking in the simplest aspects of common sense. Often the Virgo is the one to be extremely book smart, but street dumb as they don’t tend to think in the same way as others. Virgos view the world with a child-like purity, often not realizing when others are being facetious or sarcastic.
Interestingly enough, they are very analytical and practical by nature, yet many times they tend to have tunnel vision, so their true nature may only be apparent to themselves. You might find the Virgo child keeps his/her room in a state of disarray, yet they know where each and every one of their items is kept. A creative Virgo may write stories of great length and imagination or paint works of art that illustrate limitless boundaries, but you can bet that within a Virgo’s brain, there is a specific method to their madness.
This manner of inner logic extends not only to their behavior in daily life, but in relationships as well. You might find that Virgos tend to be either withdrawn and stoical or extroverted and carefree. Their logical nature tends not to leave much room for emotional expression. This being the case, one might judge the Virgo as being aloof or cold. There is nothing farther from the truth. Though they might not express themselves emotionally, they do express themselves in many other ways. They are loyal friends and faithful lovers. They tend to give as much as they have as this is their nature. This often leaves them open for heartbreak and to be taken advantage of. But no matter how often they are hurt, the core of their heart is a bottomless pit of forgiveness.
The Virgo tends to live from their environment. They act as new souls, coming into the world blank slates, ready to be molded and shaped into the person they were meant to be. But take care, a Virgo raised in a dysfunctional home won't know the finer virtues of life. When raising the Virgo, the best thing to remember is that they learn everything that you teach them, regardless of whether you intended to teach it to them or not.
Virgos are innocent by nature. This is important to remember as they may not grasp things as quickly as others, but don't sell them short. Once they get it, they keep it.
All in all, this sensible sign can be misunderstood if you don’t know their true nature, but once you do, you can expect a friend/lover for a lifetime.
