Discussion: Virgo

[GwenTheAnnoying]

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.

Are you a Virgo? Do any of the characteristics above describe you? Discuss

Wow, that is incredible! 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 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. :]

[improvkari]

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

[ohsnap801]

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!

[Ambrosia]

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).

[Palanthas]

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.
