Yes I am. :lol:

Not at all. :whistle:

OK, I admit that's true. All negative things. :lol:

Yay I'm a Virgo too. :) Associated with purity haha. Um, a lot of the things mentioned in that list do sound like me. In the positives list, I found that diligent, orderly, methodical, observant, health and cleanliness conscious and mentally active seem to fit closest to my personality. There aren't many that sound the opposite of my personality, except maybe discreet :p When it comes to the negatives...hmm...I have to admit, they all sound exactly like me. Especially the perfectionist bit! :lol:

wait.. Superiority Complex? when I take over the world, you'll pay for that one. But the rest seems close enough to right.

i would argue that our "insensitivity" is not really that, but simply our rational side keeping us from being overwhelmed with sympathy or empathy. I have had girlfriends who would beg to differ... but what do they know anyway? They were all born in the spring, of all times of the year.

So yeah I am a Virgo too.

A lot of things mentioned are things I wouldn't say about myself, because it sounds so weird to do so. It's easier to hear from people who know me.

I guess it fits pretty well, if I am honest with myself.

I'm a Virgo :D

A lot of those things are correct with me. However, I'm very scatty and disorganised - how very un-Virgo of me :D. I'm way too over critical, health conscience and I would say kind of intellegent in some way. :D

Virgo's are very underated and are always seen as fussy, harsh critics which always upsets me. We're all very nice people really :)

Another one here. :wave:

Just like you all, I too am an unorganized Virgo....hmm...maybe its time they added the "un". :lol:

Ah..and I am least health conscious. :scared:

The negatives points are bang on the mark. :rotfl:

I am a Virgo. But I am afraid I am neither full of sass nor do I have a superiority complex. More inferiority for that matter :rolleyes:. So I would have liked some of that.

I am associated to service, I think. I always serve others. I kinda like that though.

This definition that I found on astrology-online.com describes me better I think:

Modest and shy
Meticulous and reliable
Practical and diligent
Intelligent and analytical.

I think a good lot of the Virgo description fits me, definitely more than any of the other signs. I'm organized when it comes to important things: my computer files are organized, my books are organized, my clothes are organized....my mail is not organized!

i would argue that our "insensitivity" is not really that, but simply our rational side keeping us from being overwhelmed with sympathy or empathy. :agree: I feel like I have Pinky and the Brain in my head sometimes, fighting between reason and emotion.
The Brain almost always wins though :lol:

It's the same thing with the superiority complex. I don't think I'm superior to anyone, I just don't understand why people are so irrational sometimes. :whistle: (Wizards First Rule)

I'm a Virgo, and I definitely fit the description. Although I'm kind of half-organized. I never put anything away, and then I can't deal with the mess and do a huge cleaning. This happens almost every day. Everything in my house does have a place, though; it's all sorted into little boxes!

I completely agree. I find it really difficult to sympathize with people due to my rational outlook. In situations such as a death, I never know what to say. I kind of just think, "Well it happened, and crying won't undo it, so how about we just get on with our lives?" I admit that's a really cold thing to think, but the reason I think that is because emotion isn't getting in the way and blurring my judgement.

I'm a Virgo and I am not health and cleaniliness obsessed or organised.
I've been needing to see the doctor for months but have been putting it off and my room is probably about as organised as a bin, and as clean for that matter.

When I was a little younger however I would freak out if there was dirt on my hands, I couldn't sit on the ground and wouldn't be able to walk through woods because I was so scared of the dirt. I'm soooo over that and now I could roll in mud and not be incredibly bothered.

The rest of the points I completely agree with though, when describing myself. I am very modest (to the extent that I have trouble accepting compliments), very independent, controlled, observant, very sassy (can't help it), very mentally active, very flexible, and although i'm not now I used to be obessed with purity for some odd reason o_0 Even my screen name means 'pure'.

I'm a senstive person but maybe I can be insenstive to certain people.. and yes, I admit that I give out too much constant critism to my parents... and maybe I am a perfectionist... but being stubborn can be a good thing I think and I don't think I parade around the fact maybe I have a few brains.

Most of this is true. But some are not; such as the superiority complex, full of sass, and pig-headed nature bits lol.

i would argue that our "insensitivity" is not really that, but simply our rational side keeping us from being overwhelmed with sympathy or empathy.

:lol: I completely agree! My sister is always coming to me for sympathy, but she doesn't realize that when she puts herself into the situations she does its really hard for me to be sympathetic.

I am totally a Virgo! I am unorganized too, although in some things I am freakishly organized. It depends.

I would also say I am full of sass. Its my best quality, or not. I am very health and cleanliness concious, especially since I have had kids.

I pretty much roll with whatever. I can easily bend to fit whatever plans are made. No big deal.

On an ending note I would like to say VIRGOS ROCK :lol:

That is my horoscope. I was born on September 12, 1989:tu:.

I tend to be very critical of people, but also I tend to see the negatives in myself before anyone else does.

Wow, I'm apparently a perfect Virgo! The only thing in that list which doesn't apply to me is modesty - I have no time for it.

Ooops got to go...

One of my closest friend is a Virgo, and I think all these positive traits match her a lot. She's an extremely determined person and is really intelligent. I don't agree that the negative traits match my friend at all, though.

HP Character who is a Virgo: Hermione. Practical, detail-orientated, sassy, orderly, and modest. Doesn't it describe our little Ms Granger to the tee?

Have: sort of diligent, pretty analytical, self-sufficient, practical-ish, methodical, health and cleanliness conscious (when I feel like it), metally active, insensitivty, contant criticism (haha).

Have-not: not controlled at all, not orderly nor modest. Industrious, efficient, and full of sass are polar opposites to my personality. Not exacting, precise, detail-oriented, work oriented, painstaking, pragmatic, discreet or flexible (at all). I wouldn't say I've a perfectionist attitude, pig-headedness, or superiority complex though.

I guess the main thing that qualifies me as a Virgo is my complete lack of emotion, but I think that might be my hormones rather than my "sign" (I don't believe in astrology (and it does not = astronomy... sorry, that bothers me when people say that) at all btw, but this was an interesting comparison)

Yes I am a Virgo :) Many of these characteristics is like me, though not all, and few of the negatives (at least I don't feel so). But I'll have to admit that I have a little superiority complex, and I am not proud of it.


detail-oriented

:lol: That is most certainly me!

I am a virgo, and most of those traits sum me up. ;)

constant criticism Uh oh. Hehe. I am pretty bad *whistles*

observant analytical, self-sufficient Definitely me.

I think wikipedia is stalking me.

From that list, I am:
industrious
intelligent,
full of sass,
detail-oriented,
observant,
mentally active
--Negative--
insensite,
perfectionist,
pig-headed nature,
have a superiority complex.

That's odd. I'm most of the negative things, however I'm really not a logical, organized, sort of a person. I'm actually incredibly unorganized... and very crazy, I don't think about things before I do them. I am observant but only when it interest me. I am detail oriented and a perfectionist but only when it come to things I care about, like art. Otherwise I just don't bother. Its so strange.

Wow, that is incredible! :wow: Considering I was born 3 weeks late and really shouldn't be a Virgo, I fit almost all these traits, or at least I used to. My personality has changed a lot in the last couple years due to personal issues. Like while I would still say I am detail oriented, exhibit a perfectonist attitude, etc I no longer have the motivation and drive to do anything. Oh, and I'm not sure I would describe myself as "insensitive". Yes, if you saw me on the street I might come off as such, but if you really get to know me I think I'm a pretty sensitive person. The cold and unfriendly vibe I likely give off to others is not really who I am, it's just cause I hate myself and the world right now.

Oh, and the name of the sign is quite fitting if I would say :lol: Yeah, I'd consider myself quite "pure" However, it's a feminine sign, isn't it?

Hmm...for me...
On the good (or at least, not terrible) side of things: Analytical, controlled, practical, intelligent, full of sass, thorough, methodical, exacting, precise, detail-oriented, observant, cleanliness conscious.
On the negative: All of them, except that I have to add here that I don't think our "constant criticism" is a sign of "insensitivity." I think it's a sign that we see something that we want to fix.

Funny thing: Whenever we meet someone new, or when I'm telling my fiance about someone I've had a run-in with recently, I automatically start in on listing every fault the person has and how they phrased stuff, and whether or not what they did had any deeper meaning. He has accused me before of "not liking anyone." Actually, the opposite is true: I like most everyone. I simply notice their faults and pick them apart. I'm not being insensitive - I just notice these things, even when other people don't, and they burn holes in me until I tell someone (normally my fiance) about them.

There are different types of virgos, and one of those are people are completely disorganized, completely opposite from the other Virgos.

However, I'm the orderly and clean Virgo, although some may not see it as that because I''m a bit of a hoarder too and it's hard for me to throw away things that are sentimental to me or that I think may come in use later.

I would definitely say that I am insensitive and it's funny because Virgos are sometimes described as being understand of other people's problems but I actually have a lot of trouble understand sometimes. My boyfriend is a Taurus, which means he makes a dramatic scene out of everything and when something bad happens to him, it's like we're living in a soap opera; yeah, I don't understand how he can't just get over it.

But, I'm proud to be a Virgo. :]

Many point at me and say "text book virgo."

I sometimes agree.

Here's this week's Virgo horoscope posted yesterday by Free Will Astrology. They are my favorite, because they make me laugh and typically have very interesting/funny references in them. This is the only horoscope source I read, and mostly for fun. I used to read it weekly in Seattle's free paper The Stranger...


"If you develop symptoms like a dry mouth, twitching eyebrows, sweaty palms, or goose bumps in places you don't usually get them, you may be suffering from a malady called anatidaephobia, which is the fear that you are being watched by a duck. So please, Virgo, try to avoid places where ducks congregate. APRIL FOOL! I lied. The truth is, you will not contract an exotic affliction like anatidaephobia any time soon. You may, however, notice yourself experiencing waves of seemingly irrational elation; you may frequently feel like something oddly good is about to happen. Why? Because according to my analysis of the omens, you are more likely than usual to be watched by secret admirers, future helpers, interesting strangers, and your guardian angel."

Are you a Virgo? Yes I am a proud Virgo !!

Do any of the characteristics above describe you? Yes they do describe some of my qualities. bot the good and the bad.

Virgo's and Libras should not date

Everything on the list is spot on about me - except a few things.
Me - modest! Well, I'm not technically un-modest but...
And pig-headed! So not! Top marks in my class, un-oblivious to almost everything, etc.
Superiority - Guilty. I do sometimes think a lot of people are under me. But then, I'm also really insecure. Weird combo, huh?
Everything else - so me!

Is it bad I think the negative traits are particularly spot on for me? But yeah, I can relate to pretty much everything, except the cleanliness; I'm the messy, there's-order-in-my-chaos type.

I definitely see the negative traits in me. I'm such a perfectionist that if it isn't right I'll either start all over again or trash it. I get most annoyed if something isn't folded right, especially sheets, so much so that I just wash them then stick them straight back onto the bed once they're dry.

I'm a bit so-so with the cleanliness bit. If it's rubbish and food etc I'll clean it up straight away. I also hate my clothes on the floor. But when it comes to my desk, everything is just piled on it without a care in the world. I call it organised mess. Why? Because I know exactly where something is within that mess when I need it. Most of my books and DVDs are piled on top of one another. So are my clothes. Piles and piles of stuff. Hmm, I'm beginning to sense a pattern.

Flexible mind, yes. Flexible body, no. I can't even touch my toes!

I could go on with more examples but I won't in case people start thinking I'm weird (too late).

Yes.!! All of these attributes prove that I am a true Virgo. :) The only thing that I struggle with is being a perfectionist. And I am doing my best to work in that area and to overcome it.

I'm a Virgo, and the ones in Orange are true for me.

The negative traits of a Virgo include their insensitivity, constant criticism, perfectionist attitude, pig-headed nature, and their superiority complex.

I'm definitely not insensitive. I actually obsess over small things that I did or said to people unintentionally that might have hurt their feelings, even when they've moved on or hadn't even noticed it at all.

Definitely not pig-headed nor do I believe that I have a superiority complex. I accept everyone for who they are, even if I don't agree with things they've done or their beliefs. I will call people obnoxious or dumb though if they attempt to call me out on mine with ridiculous arguments.
