About Virgo

AnalyticalPracticalHelpfulMeticulousModestReliable

Ruled by Mercury, Virgo notices what everyone else misses. They're the careful, capable problem-solvers of the zodiac — organized, observant and genuinely happiest when they're being useful.

Their high standards can read as fussiness, but it comes from caring. A Virgo shows love through acts of service: they'll quietly fix the thing you didn't know was broken.
