Virgo Personality and the Positive and Negative Sides of Virgos

All the star signs have their dark side as well as the positive. The sixth sign of the zodiac can be careful and trustworthy but Virgos might also be critical.

Virgo is a sensible, practical and logical sign. Your approach to most matters in life is careful and analytical. Ruled by Mercury you are interested in many things and the subjects that attract most interest will receive your most diligent attention. As well as being a thinker, you are also a doer. You would willingly make sacrifices for those who are less fortunate. You have an innate need to help others to help themselves.

Virgo Star Sign and Positive Traits

The positive Virgo has an observant nature with strong powers of organisation. An inner voice maintains a strict discipline at all times and you're best off when left to your own schedule. Truly discriminating, you're too smart to fall for an insincere line, false promise or the lure of great riches. You would rather make your money in a slow but sure and honest way. You're great to have around in a crisis as you would never get into a flap.

As a friend Virgo is loyal, friendly and kind. Friendships are likely to be based on common interests. As a Virgo you will show your feelings in practical rather than emotional ways; you take your responsibilities to your partner and family very seriously.

Virgo Star Sign and Negative Traits

You prefer, whenever possible, to keep emotions out of it and this can make you seem cold and critical. You value your friendships and like to be of help to other people but you can also be judgemental. You can be overly fastidious and too focused on the little things that you miss the big picture.

You keep a tight rein on your emotions and this can sometimes make you seem cold and unfriendly. Despite your urge to serve and help people, Virgos can lack sensitivity and might find it difficult to step into someone else's shoes, emotionally. Virgos can be more concerned with appearances that you don't see your obsession with putting on an outward show is upsetting the ones you love because they feel you are putting other people's opinions in front of their feelings.

The negative Virgo examines others for their faults and, when in a critical mood, you will not hesitate to analyse and criticise every minor error. In order not to drive anyone crazy by expecting them to live up to your extraordinary high standards, you must learn tolerance, give the occasional word of praise and show your appreciation.

The Positive Negative Virgo

The above traits give two ends of the positive and negative scale and it is more likely that most Virgos fall somewhere in the middle! The Sun Sign can only suggest a small degree of the personality whereas an analysis from the birth chartwould give a fuller picture. Remember too that being positive in negative situations is more likely to bring success whereas a less upbeat and more defeatist attitude is liable to attract failure and disappointment.
