Logical and practical by nature, Virgos are much like a computer in their systematic approach to life. Their tidy minds are suspicious of abstract ideas and attitudes. They’re excellent fact-finders and usually get things right the first time. They’re cautious, discrete, modest, and practical.

While they can be picky and critical, Virgos are also industrious, methodical, and efficient. They pay attention to even the smallest of details, which makes them one of the most careful signs of the zodiac. Perfectionists at heart, they use their minds and resourcefulness to problem-solve. Their methodical approach to life ensures nothing is left to chance.

Virgos are usually most happy when they’re of service to others, and make kind and supportive friends. They’re genuinely affectionate, but they tend to shrink away from getting too close to anyone. Changeable as well as adaptable, they’re quiet and undemonstrative in their affairs. Although they can be tender, their heart is often closed to the outer world which makes them one of the most misunderstood of the signs.

Famous Virgo include: Queen Elizabeth I, Adam Sandler, Keanu Reeves, Alexander Skarsgård, Freddie Mercury, Sean Connery, Michael Keaton, Jesse James, Mother Teresa, Stephen King, Idris Elba, and Chris Pine.
