Would you like some facts about Virgos?  The first fact is that Virgos were born between August 22nd and September 23rd.  Virgo is the only sign of the Zodiac that is represented by a female, the virgin.  It is ruled by the planet Mercury and its earth element sign is “earth.”  Read on for more information about the sixth sign of the Zodiac.

Let’s examine some facts about Virgos, as a star sign.  We’ll start with the good ones. 

• Virgos are modest, reliable, practical, intelligent, shy, meticulous, and diligent. 
• They are also patient, judicious, conservative, logical, inventive, and efficient.  Of course, some of these good traits could be carried to the extreme.

However, Virgos can also be fussy, harsh, overcritical, a perfectionist, a worrier, and may nag. 

• They are often skeptical, inflexible, cold, interfering, and have difficulty making friends. 
• One interesting thing about Virgos is that they will appear to be calm and collected on the outside, but on the inside they will be fretting and nervous.  They are always thinking of how to improve things or trying to figure something out.

Here are some generalizations about Virgos that are neither good nor bad. 

• Virgos are always searching for knowledge and need the stimulus of solving problems. 
• That is due to the influence of the planet Mercury, which makes them quick thinking and observant. 
• Mercury rules the logical, reasoning of your mind, so Virgos are resourceful, learn quickly, and have a keen sense of awareness. 

Relationships with Virgos

Next, we’ll look at the facts pertaining to Virgos and their relationships. 

• People like to have Virgos as friends because they think straight and are good problem solvers. 
• Another reason is they are loyal and honest. 
• They may criticize a friend, but it is only because they want to help and make their life better, not to be controlling of them.
• Virgos want friends that tidy, intelligent, and have a wide range of interests. 
• They won’t make a friend until they are very comfortable with them. 
• They steer clear of showy, overly emotional people and prefer those who are calm and peaceful.

Compatibility with Virgos

This set of facts will concern the other signs that are compatible with Virgos.  Here are the 12 Zodiac signs and their dates:

• Aries - March 21 - April 20
• Taurus - April 21 - May 21
• Gemini - May 22 - June 21

Virgo goes well with Virgo, Cancer, Pisces, Capricorn, Scorpio, and Taurus.  A lot of this has to do with the four earth elements: earth, fire, water, and air.  There are four Zodiac signs for each element:

• Earth - Virgo, Capricorn, and Taurus
• Fire - Aries, Leo, and Sagittarius
• Water - Cancer, Scorpio, and Pisces
• Air - Gemini, Libra, and Aquarius

So if you think about it, some of these do not go together. You can imagine that earth signs would go well with water signs, because the earth needs water, but water puts out fire, so these signs are not as compatible. Earth signs are loyal and practical, fire signs are exuberant and passionate, water signs are sensitive and creative, and air signs are independent and cheerful.

The best matches are:

• Earth and Earth
• Fire and Fire
• Water and Water
• Air and Air
• Earth and Water
• Fire and Air

Of course, human relationships and personalities are more complicated that matching signs.  Your individual experiences and how they have shaped your personality over the years has a lot to do with any future relationships.
