Roll up your Virgo sleeves and get crafty!
The earth sign of Virgo is associated with crafts. While you may not have the freewheeling creativity of Aquarius, you can excel in arts of a more practical nature. Handmade items that are decorative, as well as utilitarian, make you smile, so ceramics, weaving, or woodcraft might be good ones to try. And it’s never too late. Fellow Virgo Grandma Moses was in her seventies when she started painting her folk art creations. True to her practical nature, she switched from wool embroidery because she feared her work would be destroyed by moths!
You’re the best friend anyone could have…
Do you know why Virgo has such close friends? Because you treat them like family—maybe even better than family because you got to choose them! You’re the one with the best friend you’ve known since grade school, the one who keeps in touch with your besties from high school and your crew from college. You may be the one who organizes the reunions, too, because, face it, nobody would do as good a job! While Burning Man-type gatherings may not be your thing, you’re unequalled when it comes to intimate gatherings of interesting people where you can share good food and good talk.
Vacation with purpose…
You’ve finally decided to tear yourself away from work (no easy task) and take a vacation, but where? You could visit a spa, but that seems selfish. You are concerned about the world’s problems—climate change, homelessness, endangered species, hunger, pollution—and you probably have some pretty good ideas for what to do about them! Why not get away from everyday concerns by taking a volunteer vacation? Whether you’re restoring wilderness or building a school in a remote village, you’ll get the break you need coupled with the boost that comes from doing good.
Gifts any Virgo would would love…
Looking for gifts that a Virgo would love? Appeal to one of his or her interests with board games, word games like Scrabble, strategy games, or a sport that requires more skill than brawn, like billiards or golf. Virgo is smart and articulate, so you can’t go wrong with books (old school or the e-variety) or a subscription to a specialty periodical. A beautiful leather desk organizer or an exquisite handmade journal would be perfect for all of those deep thoughts and to-do lists. Cooking classes or tickets to an eclectic concert would also rock Virgo’s world!
Your qualities are unmatched…
A Virgo man or woman in the right relationship is a gift from heaven. Your loyalty and devotion know no bounds. There is no task too small or obstacle too high if it means making your partner happy. You just love looking after all the details that less meticulous people let fall between the cracks—from the balanced bank accounts, to the alphabetized spice rack, to the clean and mended clothes. The happily paired Virgo learns to live with the inevitable imperfections in oneself and others, and basks in the glow of love and appreciation.
A workout made for you two…
Want to engage in an activity that’s sure to enhance your relationship? (No, not that one!) Take a yoga class with your partner. Touching, with your breaths and heartbeats in sync, you’ll connect like never before! Some instructors offer classes just for couples, which is ideal if one of you is a beginner. Just be careful not to try too hard or attempt positions that are too advanced. Focus on each other (not the mirror!) and stay in the moment. Your sign rules the lower legs, so pair shorts to show off your shapely calves with a long-sleeved tee. Afterward, indulge in a relaxing couple’s massage to ease muscles and sustain the sexy vibe.
You better be on this list…
Are you considering dating a Virgo? If you can see yourself in this list, you may have found your match!
Dependable: Virgos are worriers, so don’t give them a reason to fret!
Neat: This meticulous sign likes things just so.
Efficient: Only somewhat. Virgo will make sure the wheels turn smoothly!
Creative: This is the sign of the artisan who appreciates things of beauty.
Open: No use trying to be secretive around Virgo. You will be found out!
Healthy: Virgo is something of a fitness freak, so no couch potatoes need apply.
Accepting: Of all the love, attention, and compassion you will receive!
You’re almost perfect Virgo, but…
Try a little introspection if you’re still looking for love.
Are you too nitpicky? Some people are fine with a few imperfections.
Are you a martyr? It’s okay to work hard, but don’t whine about it.
Are you too demanding? Just because you have an endless to-do list doesn’t mean everyone wants every moment filled.
Are you too self-critical? Be careful or others will start to agree with you!
Are you too analytical? Relationships need to be lived, not have their inner workings picked apart.
Are you a worrywart? Just because your date is late doesn’t mean something bad happened!
Are you never satisfied? Sometimes okay is just fine.
You will find that special someone…
You’re the efficiency expert, remember? If you’re searching for a partner, don’t waste time looking in situations you already know you dislike, such as gigantic gatherings of strangers. Accept invitations to smaller parties, ideally with a good pal or two. When you can talk with an interesting stranger one on one you have a much better chance of finding common interests. You might not be an avid sports fan but watching a baseball game or tennis match in a stadium or sports bar is leisurely enough to allow plenty of time to get to know one another!
Be smart but also caring…
Virgo gets a bad rap. Far from prudish, the Virgo guy is sexy and smart (hello Hugh Grant, Sean Connery, Ryan Phillippe, Keanu Reeves, Richard Gere), big-hearted, charming—what’s not to like? Well, perhaps he’s too smart for his own good, the way he overthinks everything to the point of immobility. He can be insecure. And it will take work to get him to open up. Show him you love him and his (real or imagined) flaws. Prove how much you appreciate him with words as well as tokens. Even the smallest loving gesture means the world!
