Nutritionist: Virgo has a lifelong interest in health and has a strong desire to help people learn to take care of themselves. Virgos are great at taking a lot of complicated information (like data and facts) and breaking it down into easily digestible information.
Therapist: Virgos aren’t just interested in just physical health, they also have a keen interest in mental health, as well. Coupled with their love of helping others and solving problems, Virgo could have a promising career as a wonderful therapist.
Auditor: Obsessed with even the smallest detail and comfortable with endless research, Virgo could thrive as the perfect auditor. Virgo is trustworthy enough to be allowed to handle sensitive data.
Professional Organizer: Virgos love a mess. Well, more accurately, Virgos love taking a mess and fixing it until it’s clean, organized, and practically perfect.
Creative Problem-Solver: If there’s one thing that Virgos love more than anything, it’s puzzles. They enjoy the satisfaction of taking a difficult problem and finding the right solution for it.
Strong Work Ethic: As the hardest working zodiac sign, Virgos put everything they have into a job they are passionate about. They show up early, leave late, and never cuts corners. They are unafraid to roll up their sleeves and get to work.
Detail-Oriented: For Virgo, the devil is always in the details. Virgos will examine and re-examine their work with a fine-tooth comb.
Excellent Communication Skills: Ruled by the planet Mercury, Virgos have excellent verbal and written communication skills. They can analyze and memorize a lot of information in a short amount of time.
Organized: Virgo is a highly organized individual, having a place for everything and putting everything in their place. Virgos’ minds are organized, as well—making them even more productive.
Waiter/Waitress: As perfectionists, Virgos might act slowly in this position because they want the cocktail someone ordered to be perfect. Plus, the rush of lunch hour would set their nerves on edge.
Psychic: Virgo lives their lives based on logic, reason, and what they can see with their own two eyes. While Virgos are ruled by the digestive tract, they rarely trust their gut.
Ambulance Driver: While Virgos would do very well in most careers in the medical field, an ambulance driver is at the bottom of the list. Virgo overthinks all their decisions and are overly cautious, which makes them slow drivers.
Police Officer: Virgos have a very narrow view of the world that can affect their work. They are very “by the book,” but that isn’t how life works.
Hairstylist: While Virgos are typically very stylish and are well-groomed, they would not make the best hairstylist in the world. Because they are perfectionists, they might take longer to finish a haircut.
While Virgos aren’t the first zodiac sign to pick up a deck of tarot cards, or break out the crystal balls (though some Virgos do have an interest in that stuff), they do have a psychic nature. Virgos can often give off the appearance that they are psychic. Because Virgos notice every detail, they can see things that others miss. This zodiac sign can easily make a logical conclusion. They see that someone’s tie is crooked and can guess that they are having an affair. Someone keeps looking to the left—that means they’re lying. Born with a natural bullshit detector, Virgo can always see the truth no matter how well it’s covered up.
Virgo rules the nervous system and the intestines. Similar to how the intestines take in and digest food for energy, Virgos take in information, break it down, and turn it into something useful. Because Virgos govern the intestines, they tend to pay close attention to what they eat. Virgos are usually picky eaters or may have dietary restrictions like gluten or dairy intolerance. The stomach is an erogenous zone for Virgo. They love having their stomach and waistline gently kissed and licked, even lightly massaged to get them turned on.
Virgos are worriers and when they get stressed out, and the first place they feel it is in their stomach. Stomach pains, gas, diarrhea, or constipation are common when Virgos are in distress. They even become too nervous to eat. In the long run, their digestive problems and nervousness can turn into ulcers. Virgos can become hypochondriacs and will worry over their health so much they’ll make themselves sick.
Virgos are minimalists, and rarely spend money on things they don’t need. Always overthinking, they aren’t inclined to impulse shop. They will usually talk themselves out of a purchase before making it. They are thrifty and have an interest in sustainability. They will try to get things second hand (after giving it a deep clean), and won’t buy something that they could make themselves. In fact, many Virgos probably learn to sew, cook, knit, and repair things so they wouldn’t have to buy them new and waste money. Why buy it when you can make it? It’s not that Virgos are cheap, they just don’t see the point of spending money on something they can create or repair themselves.
Overly-Critical: Being a perfectionist has it’s down sides. Nothing is ever quite right for a Virgo. They are the first to point out the flaw in something and the last person to say what someone did well.
Too Meticulous: There is such a thing as too much of a good thing—something Virgos learn very quickly with their gifted eye for detail. Sometimes, Virgos can get too focused on the small details of what they’re doing and can overlook larger issues.
Picky: While Virgos would be great employees anywhere, they are very picky about the jobs they’ll actually apply for. They might be unemployed for long stretches of time because they are trying to find the “perfect” job for them. They want a job that checks all the boxes.
Control Freaks: A Virgo likes to control everything—including people. Because Virgos have such high expectations and a desire to have everything done “perfectly,” they might be a real pain to work with.
Too Cautious: Because of their need for control, Virgo avoids taking a lot of risks. However, being too cautious has its drawbacks, as well. No risk, no reward.
Virgo is a perfectionist, so they are looking for the perfect relationship with the perfect person, and they have incredibly high standards. If their partner can’t match up to those standards, they’re out the door. Virgos believe in true love and won’t waste their time. Virgos are planners, and if they plan on getting married in the next five to 10 years, they aren’t going to waste their precious time with someone that doesn’t check all required boxes on their “dream partner” list.
Usually, when Virgos realize that a relationship is over, they will drop some hints to their partner. Virgos hope they’ll get the message and their partner will dump Virgo first, as Virgo doesn’t want to let anyone down. When a Virgos want out of a relationship, they’ll become less and less attentive.
During… How a Virgo reacts to a breakup solely depends on how a Virgo felt about the relationship. If it was a short relationship and Virgo wasn’t that into the person, Virgo would be very OK with being dumped. Being highly perceptive, Virgos can see the breakup coming a mile away and have already accepted it. They might even be relieved that they are being dumped instead of having to do the dumping themselves.
After the breakup… After the breakup, Virgos will be quick to blame themselves, as they are always first to find fault in themselves. They’ll go over what they did wrong in the relationship and feel very sorry for themselves. They need their friends to start pointing out how theirex was a loser to make them feel better. To get their mind off their heartbreak, Virgo will throw themselves into their work.
Long-term… After a breakup, Virgo isn’t eager to get back into another relationship right away. They’ll shift their focus onto their work and hobbies, and try to do some self-improvement. Always the critic, Virgo tends to remember only the bad stuff that happened in the relationship and not the good. They’re afraid to get hurt again. Virgos can even become cynical and swear off love for a while, so they can avoid getting hurt again.
Symbolized as the Virgin, people may believe that Virgo is untouchable and reserved. So cold even that they are impossible to seduce. But that is not true. Virgos aren’t prudish, they are just highly selective. They aren’t going to give their heart and body to just anyone. Virgos needs to be courted, wooed, and be shown that you can meet their high standards. The best way to win a Virgo over is by not coming off too strong. They aren’t that into big emotions or flamboyant displays of being hit on, as that makes them uncomfortable. You got to play it cool.
You don’t want to be too obvious because Virgo will get bored, but don’t play mind games—Virgo can see right through them. Flirt with Virgos using witty banter, as they are quick-witted and love a challenge. If you can keep up with them, they’ll be impressed. Reveal how smart and passionate you are about one of your own areas of expertise. Virgos love to learn and will listen with interest to someone who explains something they don’t know.
