Virgos are tasked with understanding the details. With a desire to help and a tendency to overthink, they work to improve the world around them, one task at a time.  

Virgo is one of the Mutable signs in astrology. Mutable signs get the ball rolling on wrapping up the seasons so we can prepare for the next shift in our yearly cycle. In this case, the Sun moves into Virgo around August 23 through September 22. This is when we begin to end summer and look forward to autumn. It’s no mistake that Virgo season starts in line with the end of summer fun. This sign is all about the habits, routine, and work that makes the world go round. Mutable signs are flexible and adapt quickly to change. Virgos take this more practically, adjusting their day-to-day activities as they go. Yet they understand that it's the reputation of these habits that helps them get things done.  

The planet Mercury is the fastest moving planet revolving the sun in our solar system responsible for things like communication, mental awareness, circulation, writing, and how we articulate ourselves. It rules practical Virgo, giving them a natural intelligence and desire to learn and share information. However, unlike their counterpart Gemini who Mercury also governs, Virgo's don't absorb knowledge simply for the sake of it. They need to put what they've learned to good use by helping others.

When well expressed, Virgo can be organized, thoughtful, and an excellent conversationalist. They're fantastic at prioritizing important things and helping support those around them in reaching their goals. Additionally, Virgos are reliable. You can always count on them to do what they say they're going to do.

A negatively expressed Virgo can be unnecessarily hard on themselves. They're prone to anxiety which can be crippling if left unchecked. Not only are they critical of themselves, but of other people as well. This type of Virgo expects perfection and can have issues when that perfection isn't obtained.  

Love  

A Virgo in love isn't one for big, opulent, romantic gestures. They don't see the point in showing off. When this sign is in love, they find ways to support their partner in being the best version of themselves. Naturally intuitive, they focus on their partner's needs at any given moment. This includes minor things like remembering their favorite meals, what hobbies they love, or even how they like their clothes folded. Always seeing their partner’s potential, Virgo’s inspire them to seek opportunities and growth outside their comfort zone. They make wonderfully supportive and encouraging partners.

The most compatible signs for Virgo are the other Earth signs, Taurus and Capricorn. Both signs can vibe with Virgo's steady nature while having the patience to support them through bouts of anxiety or unhelpful perfectionism. Virgo also does well with the water signs Cancer, Scorpio, and Pisces. They help Virgo connect with their internal emotions while reminding them to flow with the ups and downs of life.

Virgo is the least compatible with fire signs Aries and Sagittarius. These signs are too spontaneous for Virgo, who prefers a more predictable and straightforward energy. Meanwhile, Aries and Sagittarius may feel dragged down by Virgo's penchant for rules, regulation, routine, and stability.
