Like a Virgo: In Defense of the Perfectionist

We all have our preconceived notions about certain zodiac signs. I mean, I write articles based on some of these notions. Some of the conceptions are so deeply ingrained in us that we end up treating people a certain way. I have had people physically and deliberately walk away from me when they learn that I’m an Aries. (We are nice, I promise!) Are these beliefs warranted? There must be a kernel of truth to them, right? Well, let’s discuss it.

Today, we are going to talk about stereotypes most commonly attributed to Virgos. Are they stuffy perfectionists? Or do they just want to push us to be our best?

Virgo: The Powerhouse of the Zodiac

Remember in high school when your science teacher told you that the mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell? Of course you do! There are a million internet memes reminding you. Much like the mitochondria, Virgos are the powerhouse of the zodiac.

When you envision a Virgo, you may see a no-nonsense and high-minded individual who is incredibly organized and perhaps a bit fussy. They catch on quickly when it comes to learning new things that interest them. But they rarely have patience for things that they deem a waste of time. 

They are unwavering in their desire to help others. They are delighted when someone asks them for advice or their opinion on the matter. But they are incredibly unlikely to change their opinions once they have their minds made up. In many ways, Virgos are like tall mulberry trees. They are strong and always ready to provide us with respite and nourishment. But it is very difficult to uproot them from their position. But let’s dig a little deeper to get to the root of this mutable earth sign.

Virgo at Work

Virgos excel in occupations that set clear rules and objectives. Their diligence may intimidate co-workers at first. But once they reveal their kind nature, you will be thankful that they are on your team. Virgos do well in management positions, not because they want to boss people around, but because they truly want to help and guide others. They are always happy to take the time to explain certain tasks to their team, and they are eager to make those tasks as fun as possible.   

Virgo in Love

Virgos are exceptionally good at compartmentalizing their feelings. This can make them seem like they run “hot and cold” in terms of romance. They have a pragmatic approach to love and are very good at keeping their emotions in check. They are always the ones to have their feet firmly on the ground if their partner has their heads in the clouds. 

Virgos can become easily frustrated with their partner if they feel that important things are not being taken seriously. Their criticism can come off as harsh even though they are just trying to push their partners to realize their full potential. However, no matter how frustrated or annoyed they get they are incredibly dependable and kind-hearted. They will always make sure that their partner is healthy and looked after and they appreciate it when the favor is returned.

Virgo and Friendship

Virgo is the quintessential “mom-friend.” They are almost always ready and willing to take care of their loved ones when they are in need. Their loyalty knows no bounds. They are always ready with food, aid, or just a kind word.

They are not necessarily quick to apologize if they are wrong. Not with words anyway. They believe that gestures speak louder than words and will perform acts of service to make up for any wrongdoing.

While it may be true that Virgos are stuffy perfectionists, their loyalty and dependability make them wonderful allies to have in your corner.
