Although a Virgo can be altruistic, they seem to have a tendency to act the martyr, using guilt as a weapon. Although adaptable to change, Virgo's can be vulnerable to the influence of other people. The Virgo will always find ways to be useful. And although they are shy, they are idealistic and communication-oriented with an ability to sell. Always practical, a Virgo would be an effective negotiator because each Virgo instinctively responds to the needs of others. And the all can endure endless details and responsibilities.The Virgo analytical ability is amazing. They can seem quite talkative. Virgo's also have a penchant for books, magazines, and writing. There is their omnipresent critical eye for organization and detail. This can come across as an irresistible urge to improve everything and everyone. Not all Virgo's are neat freaks, though, and some can be quite sloppy, disorganized, and irresponsible. They've got this hypocrisy thing. Like a drill sergeant gone haywire, a Virgo will dress someone up one side and down the other for their bad habits but then the Voirgo's have the same bad habits. They are health conscious and not overly competitive. They may be a craftsman, seamstress, or designer. And they usually have a fond interest in cartography, travel, or philately.
I lived in an apartment once with a property manager who was a Virgo. True to form, she had been in her new office for about 20 minutes when she calls me up and says, "You realize that you still owe the other half of your pet deposit?" This is a fine example of your Virgo attention to detail. I had neglected to pay that second half of the pet deposit for more than a year. Didn't get it past her Virgo eye, though.
Bernstein, Dvorak, and Charlie Parker were all Virgo's, but for 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 over Gregorian Chants, too.
Grocery store: If you go grocery shopping with a Virgo, be prepared to read the labels. Or be prepared for the Virgo to read the labels. Ever thoughts about the number of times someone can squint at a label, and wonder just exactly what part of which animal those things came from? Imagine the scientific curiosity at work here. The packaging itself doesn't matter, it's what's inside that counts, and this is what the Virgo seeks to find out.
Brick wall: When a Virgo encounters a fixed, immovable obstacle, there is but one solution. First, this brick wall must be disassembled, one grain of mortar at a time. And each single 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 obstacle can be found out and blamed. In any case, the Virgo will assure that this is all done perfectly.
Body part: Viscera.
