Do you know any Virgos? They're the ones with the neat hairdos and shiny shoes, right? One of the wonderful things about Virgos is their tremendous talent for organizing everything under the sun - starting with themselves.

"Service with a smile" is their motto. You can phone your Virgo friend when you're in a fix and he / she will zoom around in 10 seconds looking as neat as new pin, interrupt your tale of woe with a hundred handy hints to work out your situation out successfully. Another thing to remember about this sign, is their ceaseless search for perfection, and because they're ruled by Mercury (the planet of the mind and communication), they do this analytically. Sometimes, this trait can go too far, and a Virgo will become fussy and finicky and pick holes in everything, because nothing will match up to their ideals.

When it comes to keeping their surroundings sparkling, Virgos beat everyone. If they visit you, they'll even do your tidying up, not even noticing what they are doing. Because Virgos are tidy and orderly, they can be somewhat skeptical and suspicious of anything; but they are innately inquisitive and like to find things out themselves.

That means it is hard to pull the wool over their eyes because they can see straight through any fast talking for sure! Virgos who make the most of their mental mastery and organisational abilities can go a long way at work. Through their modesty and shyness about blowing their own trumpets, they will keep all the praise and awards they get under wraps. Unfortunately, they sometimes carry this reticence into other areas of their lives. Not only will they be coy professionally, but they'll be retiring romantically too.

Their heads usually rule their hearts and Virgos can be quite cool, undemonstrative and unemotional at times. This is definitely a sign that finds it hard to slow down, and Mercury makes Virgos move about like the busy bees they are! They can have dreadful difficulties. But, rather that just hanging around and relaxing, they will always find something to do. Their minds are always on the go, finding out new facts, then storing them up for future reference.

They have a lot of fun with their friends and indulge in exciting plans. Virgos are a positive pleasure to work with and always do as their told. They don't seem to be frightened of hard work. In fact, some of them don't seem to be able to do without it. So if you want your firm to go places, make sure to employ a couple of Virgos and you will wonder how you ever coped without them.

Many Virgos are mesmerised by medicines and can be habitual hypochondriacs, though positive Virgos will use their fundamental fascination for fitness by watching what they eat, and taking care of themselves.

Mercury makes these men and maidens calculatingly clever at anything to do with communication. They are terrific, and even a crisis won't catch them on the wrong foot! Sit back and trust - that's what they're all about!

DO'S:
Virgo's are very methodical and have a great sense of duty. However, they are blind to their own faults. So, if you have a Virgo partner emphasise more on their qualities. Take keen interest in what they are doing and you will realise that they will go out of their way to help you. Do rely and appreciate their mental powers rather than their physical powers. They can turn even an unsuccessful venture into a success.

DON'TS:
Do not push a Virgo into limelight or on the centre stage unless of course they do so on their own. They are shy and reserved by nature and do not like to be the cynosure of all eyes. Virgo's have secrets that they would not like to bring out in the open. So, even if you have the key to their secret skeleton-closet, hide it; do not even admit that you know anything about it. Virgo, the virgins, do not want to tarnish their public image.
