Virgo Characteristics
The Practical and Critical Mind of a Virgo
Virgos are very practical and adaptable. They choose their friendships well and are always willing to help. They are very critical, both of themselves and of others, and sometimes set the bar too high for themselves. They pay close attention to details because they want everything to be perfect. They have a prodigious mind, but must learn to use it effectively.
The Devoted Nature of Virgos
Virgos are helpful, kind, and always ready to lend a hand to anyone who needs it. They show solidarity and devote a lot of time to others, to the point of putting others’ needs before their own, even if the situation does not require it. Their exceptional perception makes them aware of details that others miss, but it also causes them to worry excessively. Doubt is their worst enemy, but once overcome it, there is no stopping them. Virgos are multi-talented and versatile.
The Need For Security in a Virgo
In general, they are fragile people and feel secure only when their economic situation is stable. They need a good job and a regular income, otherwise they are consumed by restlessness.
The Obsessive Side of Virgo
Virgos are easily misunderstood. One of their greatest concerns, purity and transparency, can turn into an obsession with cleanliness and hygiene. In fact, some are somewhat prudish and are shocked when certain bodily functions are mentioned. However, they sometimes give free rein to their sensuality, indulge in the most carnal pleasures, and enjoy going out with their friends. It is then that the more uninhibited side of Virgo comes out, that unbridled side that some do not dare to show. To find happiness, they should try to reconcile both extremes.

The Virgo Walk
The Traditional Male Virgo Walk
Virgo men tend to be tall and walk with a very straight back and well-measured steps. Their faces have well-defined features, and they often give the impression of being deep in thought. They have a reputation for being very clean and often look like they just got out of the shower.
They are very pragmatic and follow the dictates of the head more than those of the heart. They repress their emotions and prefer to remain calm and keep their distance. They have a tremendous sense of responsibility and only feel fulfilled when they’re successful at work.
They need to keep busy, as their analytical mind demands constant activity. When they do not feel productive, they adopt a negative and extremely critical attitude towards life. However, they manage to overcome this frustration by rendering some social service, as many Virgos combine their happiness with that of others.
Because of their independence, they find it difficult to enter into a romantic relationship and sometimes spend long periods of time alone. However, when they fall in love, their lives are greatly enriched.
The Traditional Female Virgo Walk
Virgo women are usually of fragile constitution and walk with short and neat steps. Their hair is always clean and well cut, and they tend to dress impeccably, taking care of every detail. Their face usually has angular features; they tighten their lips and frown when they are worried. On the other hand, when they are relaxed, they look younger than they are.
Although they appear shy and docile, deep down they are very courageous and determined. They sometimes display a hurtful sincerity, never losing sight of their goals and what will satisfy them. In their search for personal happiness, they are capable of breaking ties without flinching.
They experience intense feelings, but they sometimes find it difficult to express them. Rather than trusting their instincts, they prefer to think about their decisions.
Virgo women have the best intentions, but from time to time their sense of duty and their need to serve others force them to put their own interests aside, and in the long run they end up regretting having squandered their opportunities.
They are unsuspected romantics and do not cease in their search for true love. Many wait as long as it takes to find the right man.

They do not need verbal proof of affection to consolidate a friendship, since they consider that an action is worth more than a thousand words.
Virgo Friendship Compatibility

In water signs, Virgos find sensitivity, gentleness, and attentiveness, although Virgos may be overwhelmed by their intense emotions.
