General Traits
Virgo is symbolized by a woman holding a sheaf of wheat. Your responsibility is to harvest the knowledge in the fields of experience, and is then pass on that knowledge to those who may need it. You need to be needed, and act in service to others as part of your spiritual transformation. You are the hard workers of the zodiac, and understand that there is much that needs to be done before you are able to harvest something. You need to understand the intricacies of the plan, before enabling the plan itself. In your constant seeking for knowledge, you have found many ways to express yourself. Unfortunately, in your attempt to know it all, you can sometimes come across as such, or criticize others for being less than what you think is best for them. You seek self-perfection, and attempt to convey this necessity to others by offering your words of advice, support, and ability for problem solving. Be wary of this tendency and know when to stop, as you may offer more advice than is customarily needed or wanted for that matter. You genuinely want to be helpful, and if left to your own devices you will do just that - think of the things that need to be thought about, do the things that need to be done, organizing, methodizing, and improvising - and finding just the right way to complete a task. It is important for you to provide service on your own terms however, if you feel as though you are being taken advantage of, you will back away immediately. You have the gift of helping to bring order out of confusion. This attention to detail is a helpful asset, but be sure you don't miss the whole picture in the meantime.Your personal pride ensures that you are always clean and well dressed with matching accessories, a smile on your face, and a spring in your step. You are usually the boss in your home and to your family, keeping the home tidy and clean, making sure lunches are made, washing and pressing the laundry, and providing well balanced meals. You are naturally health conscious and expect your family to be clean and healthy as well.

In your friendships you tend to keep most people at an arm's length. You don't want anyone getting too close, and you may seem emotionally cold or harsh to some. Don't worry, you are far from being an ice pillar, it's just your way to deal with the potential of being rejected. If you don't get too close, it won't affect you. Nothing could be further than this however, you are very sensitive and need the reassurance of the people around that love and support you.

Virgos are the proverbial still waters than run deep. In all your wisdom, you understand that the body serves the mind, and the mind serves the spirit the best.

Relationships
In your relationships you are the steady and reliable sort, preferring to have a subordinate role rather than a superior role. Every opportunity to help your partner will be done so with the utmost love and respect. You are loyal and devoted to making a relationship work, and you often strive for a perfect one. A perfect relationship for you would be one that includes a strong yet sensitive partner who can bring out the passionate and sensual soul that lies within. When you fall in love, you usually fall hard. You give of yourself so completely and are willing to do anything to make a relationship work that you sometimes neglect to make yourself happy as well. It's one lover at a time for you, as you don't do well when jealousy or feelings of inadequacy come into play. If you decide to end a relationship though, you can break the ties quite easily and think of the practicality of the whole situation. Once you've had enough, the only sensible thing to do is move on.
