White Sparrow Speaks...      Earth Signs
  VIRGO – Mutable Sign

Dear Virgo, you are the editors of the world.  You have the ability to find errors quickly.  Your curse or blessing, is how you point them out to others. Unless, you are being asked Virgo, be cautious as to how you do this.  Generally, others look upon it as fault finding.

You are great at proofing something before it goes to the printers or publishers, or before a contract is signed.  In this respect you can save time and money and aggravation, that’s a useful gift in business to have.  You are also great reminders of other details as well.  You know, “don’t forget to set your clocks back, ahead, pick up your dry cleaning, get the sticker for your car”.

Virgo’s are great listeners.  They usually won’t interrupt you in mid sentence.  Which, is immediately followed by a practical comment, whether you want it or not. A Virgo can never see the forest, but they will rarely miss every tree.

They also have a hard time to let go of worry.  Most find sleep a tough commodity to possess enough of.  Health is always a topic that will perk up their interest.  Hospitals are full of Virgo nurses.      

A Virgo is known to swing one or two ways and no middle ground on this next issue.  They are either, very neat and visibly organized, or they have stacks of papers and clutter, spotted all around the space they call work and home.  They often say, “well no, I haven’t got to that yet, I’ll work on that later.”  “I didn’t have a chance to finish it because….”.  You get the idea here.  No short sentences either.  They always give long detailed explanations that can drive you insane, especially if you’re in a hurry.  Or, they try to tune you out completely.  They are like those plants that like to live half in the shade and half in the sun.  Perhaps, you have to be a Virgo to understand this statement, but Virgo’s know what I mean.

A Virgo is never, ever, really satisfied with their accomplishments.  I have a news flash for you.  Cancer is not the real worrier of the zodiac, Virgo’s are.  Oh Virgo, you are also good at those sarcastic zingers, aren’t you?  However, when we walk on the shadow side of the zodiac, it would be wise for Virgo to know that, this is an area that Cancer has got you beat in.  Well, none of us are perfect you know.  Perhaps, that is why you are constantly putting yourself down.  Now Virgo, things aren’t always as bad as they seem.  You’re a detailed person so, look for the good points about yourself as well.

For instance, you live to serve others and as long as that loyalty is returned, you will give your time and energy without question or hesitation.  Just don’t become a doormat instead of the welcome mat.  There is a detailed difference!

Sexually, well now!  Look below the surface folks and that’s where Virgos hide it.  They can also swear like a sailor when telling a joke or cutting you down to size when you step out of line.

They have an Archie Bunker style humour.  They make great standup comedians, as they love to use the same comic lines, and material, over and over and over.  They do have a well- timed deliver.  They never forget the story line or the punch line.  They have told it so many times they start to believe it actually happened. Many a Virgo has learned to hide their hurts and pain through comedy as opposed to humour.  Virgo also likes to be in on a good practical joke.

Birthdays, celebrations etc. are paramount to most earth signs, especially dear Virgo.  Yours and of course theirs.  They like their occasions to be held on the exact date as well.  A detail, you would do well to remember, right Virgo?  Many Virgo’s buy all occasion cards and keep a stocked supply just incase, one might crop up that someone had not been as prepared as them for.  Also, should you offer to pay them for the card, well you won’t have to put up much of a fight over it.  Virgo likes to make things easy.  Now, if Virgo is a family member, that’s maybe a different story.

Now, you can also expect to receive a gift to go along with that card, or at the very least a birthday cake.  If you do receive a cake, well the chances are pretty good that it was baked right from scratch.  They also love to be the one who leaves it where you find it before anyone else remembers to tell you. 

Did someone just hand you the exact change?  That was probably a Virgo.  Virgo’s know how and where to account for their every penny.  Documented, dated and detailed.  Yes, and don’t be surprised if they still have the corresponding warranty or receipt attached as well.  Also, don’t ever hand them one and expect it not to be analyzed from top to bottom.  If there’s an error, you can bet your grandma’s jarred preserves that they will find it.  Please don’t be foolish enough to point out their mistakes though.  That my friends, will just make them feel even less about themselves.  Remember this if you ever want that home baked birthday cake again.

Virgo’s have great work attendance.  They will rarely call in sick.  Well, they might call in sick, but they will still show up.  If they didn’t, they would have to beat themselves up again, and they have already done that enough for one day.  Troubles for Virgo’s usually come from taking on far more than they can handle.  They haven’t learned to say no!  That’s when they get sick.  Their body gives them that wake up call, even if they didn’t get to sleep.  Here is the big Virgo secret.  You tend to offer your assistance, before folks have even thought to ask you.  It’s another blessing, and another Virgo curse.

However, when you are feeling better.  A Virgo friend has often heard these words.  “Let’s go out for dinner my treat”.  Or, when you finish work stop by for a drink while I cook or barbecue, such and such”.  Then, they go right ahead and tell you every detail of how they plan to prepare it just right.  So, dear friend of Virgo, you best be on time.  Better yet, arrive a bit early if you don’t wish to insult them.  This is a common earth element trait. Hey, I never said they weren’t generous when they wanted to be. 

Many Virgo’s are great with numbers and math.  Or, they absolutely hate it!  Most enjoy it though.  They always know exactly how many problems they have at any given time of the day.  So please… do yourself a favour, unless you have five minutes to spare while they tell you in detail, don’t ask. 

Well Virgos, I’m letting you know ahead of time, this portion of your sun sign is coming to a close.  Please pardon my spelling and grammar mistakes if you find any.  I know that I can count on you to email me and give me the proper corrections.  Dear Virgo, thank you in advance, for your act of good service.  I will also understand how you felt it was your duty to let me know.
