Virgoans are modest, meticulous, reliable and intelligent people. Virgoans are extremely practical and adaptable, they have a strong desire to serve, but are overly critical of themselves at times. They strive for perfection, and pay close attention to details. With impossibly high standards, Virgoans often let themselves down when they don't meet their goals. They're helpful and sympathetic, always ready to lend a hand. Virgoans feel connected to humanity, and feel the need to spend a lot of time tending to other people's needs. Their insight allows them to see what others miss, and their talents are wide-ranging. Emotionally, Virgoans are extremely delicate. They need to feel secure in their workplace and at home. Cleanliness is Virgo's obsession. They're very prudish, but they also enjoy having a good time with their friends, and can be totally wild at times. For a Virgo to be happy, they need to incorporate their reserved side with their wild side.

As workers, Virgoans need richly fulfilling work. With practical and academic skills, they love being given the chance to use their logic skills. They bring discipline to their job, and are at their best when working with others. They make excellent accountants due to their mathematical ability, and are also natural scientists, picking up skills easily. Teaching also allows them to share information and serve the community while being able to pursue other interests. Writing is another field in which they gain a great deal of satisfaction. Their critical and to-the-point way of writing provides direct and well thought out reference. They're also successful as doctors. They work well with Taureans, Cancers, other Virgoans, Scorpios, Capricorns and Pisceans. They don't work well with Ariens, Geminians, Leos, Librans, Sagittarians and Aquarians because they feel that either their fellow worker is too lazy, or too smart for them.

In friendships, Virgoans are very discriminative when it comes to choosing their friends. They choose people who are honest, sensible and modest as some of their best friends. Virgoans are organized, and enjoy spending time with their friends regularly. They will often arrange events far in advance so as not to have to worry about it later. They are extremely loyal and trustworthy, and have a feeling of responsibility which makes them feel that they cannot let someone down. They provide shrewd judges of character and stable shoulders to cry on in times of trouble. They make good listeners and offer the most practical help for their friends in times of need. They make best friends with Earth and Water signs, but don't get along well with Air signs, finding that they talk to much, and don't get along with Fire signs, who are too unstable and risky for their liking.

The sensitive area of the Virgo consists of the nervous system, stomach and intestines. Virgoan foods are those grown under the earth and those ruled by Gemini. Plants associated with Virgo consist of small flowers, blue and yellow flowers, and most nut-bearing trees.
