Virgo
Virgo, the Virgin, the approximate dates are August. 23-Sep. 23

Taste: There is always a slightly delicate but spicy flavor that accompanies a Virgo, some would suggest that it is the aroma of some kind of cleaning fluid.

Supermarket: If you go shopping with a Virgo, be prepared to read the labels. Or be prepared for Virgo to read labels. The packaging itself doesn’t matter, it’s what’s inside that counts, and this is what Virgo seeks to discover.

Wal-Mart, after midnight: Have you ever gone shopping with a Virgo? Have you ever thought about the number of times someone can squint at a label and wonder exactly which part of which animal those things came from? Imagine scientific curiosity at work here. However, there is another problem, and one that suggests that the results are not yet complete, that this is an area that will require further investigation. “I’m not going to a Wal-Mart, please don’t make me go there,” I heard a Virgo girl moan. Good, cheap stuff didn’t quite work on her. The results are still under study, as of now. And most of the Virgo girls I know wouldn’t get up after midnight anyway, not if there was something else to do, like sleep.

Brick Wall – When a Virgo encounters a fixed and immovable obstacle, there is only one solution. First, this brick wall must be taken down, one grain of mortar at a time. And each grain of sand that makes up this wall needs to be properly stored and labeled so that it can be reassembled later. Or so that whoever caused this hindrance can be found out and blamed. In any case, the Virgo will make sure that all this is done perfectly.

Bait: Crappie Spin “It’s not just for Crappie, Smallmouth loves it too!” — This is a special lure, designed just for Crappie, but guess what? Smallmouth loves it too. And that’s why it works for Virgo fish: the utilitarian nature of this lure will always appeal to that practical, yet mutable Virgo. It’s a perfect fit. Also, almost all Virgos have a taste for the unusual; that’s why this dual purpose bait works so well.

Body part: Viscera.

Although Virgo can be altruistic, she has a tendency to act like a martyr, using guilt as a weapon. Although they adapt to change, they can be vulnerable to the influence of other people. A Virgo will always find ways to be useful. And although shy, Virgo is idealistic and communication-oriented with the ability to sell. Always practical, he would be an effective negotiator due to his ability to instinctively respond to the needs of others. And they can handle endless details and responsibilities.

Virgo’s analytical ability is amazing. A Virgo can seem quite talkative. They also have a predilection for books, magazines and writing. There is a pervasive critical eye for organization and detail. This may seem like an irresistible urge to improve everyone and everything. However, not all Virgos are neat freaks, and some can be quite sloppy, disorganized, and irresponsible. They have this hypocrisy thing, don’t they? Like a drill sergeant gone crazy, does a Virgo dress someone up and down for their bad habits but then have the same bad habits themselves? They tend to be health conscious and not overly competitive. Virgo can be a craftsman, seamstress or designer. Virgos usually have a great interest in cartography, travel or stamp collecting.

I once lived in an apartment with a property manager who was a Virgo. True to form with him, he had been in his new office for about 20 minutes when he called me and said, “Do you realize you still owe the other half of your pet deposit?” This is a good example of your Virgo attention to detail. He hadn’t paid the second half of the pet deposit for over a year. However, he didn’t get past his Virgo eye.

Bernstein, Dvorak, and Charlie Parker were all Virgos.

But for your Virgo listening pleasure, try: Hayden’s “Symphony No. 104” or Brahm’s “Symphony No. 4.” Maybe some Enigma, too. Any good Virgo will also go crazy with Gregorian chants.
