Ascendant In Virgo
Posted by Darshana Sanrakshak Shambhala on January 30, 2011 at 3:11pm in Astrology
(Bernice Grebner) First Decanate (Virgo-Virgo): They will work at a job
until it is done correctly, exerting a great deal of energy and common sense.
This results in success as a trouble-shooter. They do not stand out in a
crowd, for their natures are rather modest, quiet, and shy. At their best
they serve quietly and humbly. If they like you, you will know it by how much
work they do to serve you. With Pisces-Pisces on the Descendant, they may be
too idealistic for marriage. They have to watch it so they do not unite
themselves to people because they feel sorry for them. This can very possibly
attract them to soul-mates or those relationships where great spiritual
affinity is involved. It could attract them to those who are musical
or poetic; or if Neptune is harshly aspected, to a partner who has a drinking
problem. They need to learn to be more tolerant in relation to the marriage
partner. Second Decanate (Virgo-Capricorn): A woman with this position may
project a self that is too conscious of how she is coming across; therefore,
with a 5th house influence (Capricorn on the cusp) she will not let herself
go with passion, but is more apt to want to be safe than sorry. A man with
this position will be much more sexy, being influenced by the masculine drive
Capricorn gives. In other words, a man will feel this influence much more
positively than a woman. With Pisces-Cancer on the Descendant, they need
sympathetic freinds and marriage partners. They in turn can make great
sacrifices for people they love. This may be the person who sacrifices
marriage to take care of an old or sick parent, or to pursue a great and
noble cause. It is not impossible for the partnership to take form as
a musical duo in the entertainment field. Third Decanate (Virgo-Taurus):
To be at their best in projecting themselves as a truly intellectual person,
they need to surrender to some religious conviction or to develop their grasp
of knowledge by continual education. In this way, their inner
inferiorities will be dimininished. When they are truly sure of their
education and the service they are giving others, they can be more loving and
creative and thus lose their need to criticize. They may seem superior but
they do not, at all, feel it. With Pisces-Scorpio on the Descendant, they are
capable of great self-sacrifices for their partners, not only self-sacrifice
but financial sacrifice as well. They hide from the world their true
relationship with the marriage partner. They may be secretive
in communications to others, but need the partner for a shoulder to cry on if
necessary. They need the partner emotionally and mentally. They receive great
mental stimulation from marriage. (Sepharial and Muchery) First
Decanate: A patient nature, likely to suffer affliction and privation,
and sometimes restraint or imprisonment; it confers a long life, and disposes
to the study of analytical and mechanical science, theoretical and practical.
The nature is secretive, and the subject of this decan often lives a very
retired life. Second Decanate: An artistic and literary person is denoted,
with a love for philosophy and belles-lettres; kind disposition, genial and
vivacious nature, full of pleasant allusions and bright dialogue; fortunate
in the acquisition of property and artistic pursuits. Long voyages are shown;
much familiarity with the stage or the artistic world; some falling-off of
family fortunes, and an inclination to domestic disputes. Third Decanate:
The nature is quick and alert, apt in the sciences and dexterous
arts; inclined to literature; loquacious and restless; a person of much
business, and very versatile disposition; gains honours and position by his
own merits, and acquires property; disposed to the study of medicine and
hygiene; very particular in the matters of diet and clothing; many changes of
residence. Physical Qualities: Virgo gives a full forehead; hair generally
swept back and falling about the ears; inclined to baldness on top of the
head; a straight nose; wide shoulders; an active walk and a quiet voice.
Height is added to the stature; the native is usually slim, with a rounded
face and forehead; the eyes may be light or very dark and the hair tends to
match them in color; the complexion is sallow. Mental Qualities: Learned,
searching after knowledge, methodical; inclined to art and literature;
benevolent; fond of the occult; disposed to collecting in some form or other;
very critical and precise. The disposition is prudent, eloquent, industrious
and quick, subtle and critical; the mental qualities are good, but
over-analytical, so that the native is very methodical and a good organiser.
A certain inclination toward pessimism makes him magnify the unpleasant facts
of life. The period of youth is often unhappy, or does not come up to
expectations. The native's mental aptitude is good, but often not employed to
the best advantage. In spite of organisation in details, there is a lack of
ideas from the synthetic standpoint, so that, unless Mars, Uranus or Saturn
is powerful in the horoscope, the native will have more chance to succeed
with others than alone. It is a good position for taking up science,
medicine or occultism, and also gives great adaptability for commercial
pursuits. (Frances Sakoian and Louis Acker) Virgos' mental acuteness is
expressed in practical affairs. They are systematic and well-organized in
developing ideas and executing them. No detail is too small for them to
notice or explain; and their success is due to the careful attention to
fine points and details overlooked by others. Perfection is Virgos' goal, and
there are no flaws in what they do. Quality supersedes quantity. With
Pisces on the 7th house cusp, partners are often the avenue by which
the natives expand into new fields; these partners enhance Virgos' human
understanding and emotional involvement. Virgos attract people who are not
nearly so well organized as they. (Dane Rudhyar) The Virgo-rising
person will seek to single himself out by his progressive transformations,
his spiritual overcomings, his bodily rejuvenations. In some cases he may
achieve much through a sense of humility and a will to serve others; in
others, there will be much criticism or insistence upon technical
achievements. There may be a deep yearning for purity and even sanctity,
which may lead to self-deception and unsound devotional attitudes. The
Virgo-Ascendant type of person meets his closest associates in Piscean
manner; and where he is critical as an individual, he may easily be much too
open as a lover or a partner. He is longing for the loss of himself in a
collectivity or a cause, just because he is seeking to achieve his individual
status as one who has experienced a personal metamorphosis. He has to be
devoted to whomever or whatever seems to embody the state of being which is
the goal of this metamorphosis. (Howard Sasportas) With Virgo rising, the
birth into individual selfhood comes through mental analysis, discrimination,
self-criticism and the process of defining the self more and
more specifically. Often this entails developing greater skill and
proficiency in the chosen field of work or area of creative expression. As an
Earth sign, there is the need to employ knowledge purposefully; to be useful,
productive and of service. Virgo on the Ascendant draws attention to the
physical body and the concern for its smooth functioning. The practical
management of the mundane necessities of daily life is also an issue for this
sign rising. Virgo in this position can be associated with what might be
called 'the proper assimilation of experience'. Experience, like food, needs
to be chewed over and then digested. Catabolic processes in the body separate
what is valuable and worth integrating from what is toxic and poisonous.
Virgo rising shoudl apply this process to the digestion of life-experience.
Through analysing the self and life in general, they can extract from
experience whatever is most conducive to their well-being. What is not
constructive must be acknowledged and recognized but ultimately cleared
out and eliminated. Holding on to such things as negativity and resentment
for too long means that the psyche, and sooner or later the body, becomes
clogged, weakened and poisoned. With Virgo rising, there is the danger of
becoming so obsessive about order, correctness and precision that a person
loses touch with spontaneity and flow. Where Virgo boxes itself in and
becomes overly tight and rigid, Pisces appears in one form or another to say
'relax, let go, relinquish control, and let yourself indulge occasionally'.
Pisces on the Descendant encourages Virgo rising to relate with others more
compassionately and with a greater degree of sacrifice and acceptance
than judgemental and critical Virgos usually allow themselves. Through the
Pisces Descendant, Virgo rising gains the kind of understanding that dawns
when the heart is open and receptive. There is more to life then just that
which can be measured, compartmentalized and tested. Virgo on the
Ascendant usually gives a neat, wiry body, capable of efficient
and economical movements. Often the person looks considerably younger than
the actual age, and a youthful appearance is retained even in the later
years. The placement by sign, house and aspect of its ruling planet Mercury
will shed more light on the person's appearance as well as his or her major
focus of interest. Jeanne Avery) The ruler of Virgo is Mercury. This is
also the planet ruling the sign of Gemini, but there is a vast difference in
the way it is expressed in the personality of the two signs. These mental
rising signs have a similar outlook on life in that they view the
world through 'adult' eyes, but Gemini is an Air sign and Virgo an Earth
sign. The Gemini rising has a more restless, mercurial mind that may flit
from one subject to another whereas Virgo rising is more practical in his
intellectual activity and pursuits, enjoying research and the collection of
data. He is the master of detail, objectivity, and analysis. Virgo is a
mutable sign, meaning adaptability, and is the sign of the workaholic.
Virgo rising is a master at handling all the boring nit-picking matters
others want to avoid. He is the epitome of neatness and order. The more he is
absorbed in fact-finding missions, the happier he is. With a great deal of
information stored away in his mind, he is like a squirrel storing away nuts
for the winter in his quest for facts. He is perfectly content to analyze a
situation many times. He may then reanalyze it just to make sure he hasn't
missed anything. it is easy to spot one with Virgo ascending by the way he
takes in a situation around him. He will notice objects in a room that others
may not know are there. He sizes up the immediate environment to get the feel
of the lay of the land, and then may begin to feel comfortable. He needs to
be aware of things, and though he may not be obvious about it, not much
escapes his attention. When he begins to ask questions, it's a dead giveaway
that he has Virgo on the rise. Another giveaway trait is the Virgoan need for
neatness and order in his environment. He can't function unless everything is
in its place. He is a master at making lists, having everything he needs at
hand, and perfunctorily taking care of any accumulated overflow of mail,
phone calls, or errands. He loves catalogues! Periodically, he will
reorganise his closets down to the last minute detail. Department stores
conduct a booming business with Virgo rising from garment bags and matching
shoe bags down to sectioned containers and drawer dividers. He is a
sucker for rotating shelves, appliance holders, and the like. He will buy
anything that might do away with clutter and create more order. He will
rearrange the counter top in his kitchen to make it just a bit more tidy and
perfect. The Virgoan trait for detail is sure to find some expression. The
person with this ascendant is a fascinating conversationalist. He can hold
the attention of those around him for hours with his endless store of
knowledge and his interpretation of events, yet he may be so busy picking the
brain of the person he most respects that it will be difficult to get him to
share this information. He has a tendency to hide behind his inquiring mind.
He is safe as long as he can put someone else on the witness stand. He may
tend to quote other sources, rather than express his own opinion. If he is
really feeling insecure, he has a tendency to criticize. Mercury is the
planet ruling intellect, speech, and communications, as well as thoughts and
ideas. Mercury was the messenger of the gods. His swift and speedy delivery
of information was his chief function. Virgo rising adds another quality
to this exchange of ideas in his ability to analyze, categorize, and delet
unnecessary information. The Virgo rising is the one who 'forges' ideas. He
loves to pin himself down to long, hard hours of research. He is a fantastic
editor because of his awareness of structure and detail. He can easily get to
the essential fact of any matter. He is a natural critic. His biggest
handicap is the tendency to overanalyze and become so immersed in detail that
he forgets to see the overall picture. he can focus on what is in the
immediate present, but may neglect his vision of the future. If he is able to
see the trees and also be aware of the forest, he is a master at working out
the details of a plan. He may sometimes go around in circles with his
constant analysis and criticism, and may have to be helped in getting on with
the larger picture. He can be overly much the perfectionist. He feels safe
with facts but may be insecure when dealing with concepts. It can be
important for him to learn the difference between intellect and
wisdom. Karen Zurawski, a speech therapist with Virgo rising, described this
tendency by saying, 'I find it very difficult to step out of a situation to
look at the whole picture. I can only see what is right in front of me. I can
get so involved with details that I don't get past them to focus in on the
the overall message. I'm trying to change that, but I'm aware of a tendency
to revert to old habits'. The patience and willingness to handle details in
connection with a broader concept can lead Virgo rising away from too much
attention to unimportant matters. Since opposite signs can reflect each
other, it is interesting to see how Pisces and Virgo can teach each other
some needed lessons. One with the Piscean personality is able to see the
overall picture, but may overlook essential details. Virgo rising can
be nit-picking with details and not so good with concepts. In a constructive
synthesis fo the two sides of a coin, an individual with Virgo on the rise
must be on constant lookout for the grand design in his life. It is then that
he can put his fine mind to work in the best way. He may neglect the
intuitive mind in the constant use of his practical intelligence in order to
avoid a let-down. He may have to be convinced of the validity of that higher
intuition. His greatest fear seems to be that of having a
pie-in-the-sky outlook. He won't chance being led down the garden path. He
questions everything to avoid the danger of disillusionment. He keeps himself
on the level of concrete fact in order to avoid the possibility of
disappointment connected to idealism, ofr he would be devastated if his
dreams crashed. He may use his left brain to the exclusion of right-brain
activity. He may not realize that he tends to limit his perceptions as
a safety device. The individual with Virgo rising has evidently made early
survival decisions about using his mind. It appears that he trusts his own
ability only when dealing with the facts. He arms himself with intellectual
awareness against the onslaught of security. The less safe he feels, the more
he talks and analyzes. It may be difficult to look behind the words he says
to discover what he really means. If Virgo rising really delivers an
onslaught of opinion against the imperfections of those around him, it
is difficult to avoid a negative reaction - but that may be the very time he
needs reassurance most. If he can keep people away by his verbal attacks, he
will never have to deal with that dangerous let-down He may be crying out to
be convinced of another point of view, but it takes a brave soul to break
down his defence mechanism of scepticism. When the sceptic does fall,
however, he falls hard. It may be necessary to present him with facts that
are irrefutable, give him plenty of time to research the situation himself,
and leave it at that. If he is asked to back down on an issue his security is
threatened all over again. He can then hide behind new information, keeping
the real issue at arm's length. His intellectual gymnastic ability is tops,
but he will always respect someone more agile than he is. Using the terms
of Transactional Analysis, Mercury relates to the adult ego state. Virgo
rising was born expressing his intellectual awareness. In a regression
session, an individual with this ascendant is aware of himself as a 'mind'
even at the moment of birth. In even the early stages of his life, he sees
things in an intellectual way. If he is encouraged to express his ideas from
the beginning, he develops a clear way of communicating. He will then always
be able to say what he means and mean what he says. If Mercury is well
aspected in the individual chart, it appears that the circumstances or people
around him as a child were conducive to his mental growth. His thoughts and
ideas were acknowledged and validated, and he was given permission to express
himself verbally. If Mercury is not well aspected in the chart, it is
difficult for Virgo rising to say what he thinks. He evidently was not
given persmission early on to think for himself, or he was not heard. He may
have felt it necessary to put extra sting or force into his words in order to
get attention or to be heard. He continues the kind of communication he
learned as a child. If, for instance, he was encouraged to investigate for
himself and accumulate knowledge, he easily continues in his quest for new
information. He assimilates what he learns into what he already knows. His
healthy scepticism becomes his most valuable trait. He can be an invaluable
researcher. He enriches his life by finding balance on the integration of
alll levels of his mind. Each fact becomes another piece placed properly into
the jigsaw puzzle of life. He tunes in to the enormous power of his mind. If
Mercury is not well aspected in the natal chart, it is indicative that he was
not given encouragement in the development of his own mind. One young
lady remembers being told that she should be seen and not heard. A child with
this negative Mercury may also have been reprimanded with the injunction 'You
don't know what you're talking about' or words to that effect. It is
especially essential to encourage one with this ascendant to get in tune with
his fine mind and to pursue his fact-finding missions. It is only insecurity
and avoidance that keeps him stuck in an overly analytical process that keeps
him going around in circles. With a difficult Mercury in the natal chart, the
individual with this ascendant can unwittingly antagonize people around him
by his seemingly negative approach. He may develop an overly sharp manner of
expressing himself. He can appear suspicious, overly cautious, and
particularly sceptical. He may seem to be lacking in tact and consideration.
His negative attacks and critical approach keep him on safe ground until he
is sure of where he stands. He is evidently in need of reassurance at that
particular moment. With some encouragement, he will investigate instead
of negate. Virgo rising loves to be able to quote sources of information.
He reads voraciously and is well aware of what others are saying about
myriads of subjets. He wants to be well informed but he may tend to accept as
authority anything he reads in print, whether books or magazines. He respects
anyone he considers an authority on a subject. He can quote what others are
saying, but may resist or avoid expressing originality of thought. He is very
aware of the newest trends, even though he may be cautious about accepting an
idea or attitude as his own until others give their stamp of approval. He can
be label-conscious, feeling that something is of value if its name is known.
He will always be up on the latest fashion in clothes, food, and
lifestyles, for he wants to be in the mainstream of life. He will feel uneasy
about being out of step with the times. He needs to be encouraged to express
his own thoughts and ideas and to take some chances occasionally, even if it
is scary or risky. This individual is attracted to occupations that require
his brilliant ability to analyze. He is a marvellous teacher, editor, critic,
actor, or writer. The Virgo rising needs to be involved with communications
in general, as he can put others' ideas into crisp, clear form. Technique
becomes his security. His creative expression may lean more toward the
technical than toward the intuitive. He has fantastic ability to sort through
all sorts of information to discover what is truly valuable. An ability
to express a logic and order about his own life and world can be
tremendously reassuring to those around him. He is a sound decision-maker. He
feels truly good about himself when he is on top of any situation at hand. He
can handle detailed work better than anyone else. If you want something
accomplished, look for the person with Virgo on the rise. The symbol of
Virgo is the virgin. In its highest sense, there is an innocence and a purity
about one with this asccendant. It shows most easily in the
high-minded approach to anything sordid. He seems to emerge untouched even
when he becomes involved in less than savoury matters. Virgo rising is
rarely mean or ugly. Even the tendency to criticize is, more than anything, a
bad habit developed early in life as a defence mechanism. He can be totally
unaware of his ability to hurt or wound. He may not realize just how blunt
or sharp he can be. He is the one most surprised when someone's sensitive
reaction to his words is a cause for upset. He neve seems to realize that his
cool approach can come across like ice at times. He may appear totally
unsympathetic toward another's problems, but it is more than likely that his
mind is already at work on the right solution. He may not be given too much
pampering or coddling. Unless he can help with a problem, he may feel
inadequate and unable to meet others' needs. In the progression of the signs,
Virgo is the sixth sign of the zodiac. The number six is associated with
service, work, health. Many Virgo personalities are health addicts. The
purity comes into play in their selection of pure foods and lifestyle. Their
strong service capacity may be expressed through work in a health service
field, but may not always be on mundane levels. The positive use of
Mercury in the chart gives the native with this ascendant an extraordinary
power of discrimination. The way this quality is expressed is determined not
only by the aspects to Mercury but also by its placement in the houses in the
indiviudal chart. Mercury's placement indicates what the individual thinks
about and talks about. Through the aspects to Mercury from other planets, it
is easy to see some of the colors and characteristics that modify the pure
Virgoan traits. These aspects indicate how the person expresses his intellect
and thoughts, the quality of his ideas and speech, and how fluid his thought
processes can be. It indicates other facets to his personality, and how his
natural ability can be modified by his childhood decisions and experiences.
Any conjunctions and positive aspects give added color, whereas the negative
or hard aspects modify or nullify the natural ability. Limitation is keenly
felt in childhood when mercury and Saturn are in difficult aspect. This Virgo
personality may tend toward a negative approach to life.
Pessimism, overcaution, and an overly fearful outlook may be his way of
staying safe. He may come into the world with a sense of mission, yet a fear
of failure. He may doubt his intelligence, being overly critical and
judgemental to avoid his 'ultimate' responsibility. He may be especially
fearful of taking responsibility for his ideas and his life. He is the
worrier of the zodiac and may blame the conditions of his childhood for his
outlook until he learns how to break his negative patterns and
programming. With Neptune ruling the seventh house of partnership, the Virgo
rising with his practical outlook may be attracted to someone with an
opposite view of life. He can find a visionary for a mate. He can expect and
may be fortunate enough to find an ideal partner. The opposite can be true,
and he can let himself in for disillusionment in connection with partnership
matters. Virgo rising may be totally unrealistic about marriage early in his
life. He may feel that with a partnership situation all his problems will be
solved. He may think that marriage will mean walking hand in hand with his
love into the sunset of life. If he has donned rose-colored glasses in
this respect, he may be very let down. It is most essential to look at the
aspects to Neptune in an individual chart to see the potential for happiness
in marriage or success in a business partnership. When Neptune is well
aspected, marital life can be ideal. He will find the combination of
his practical views and the partner's conceptual ability a fabulous
complement. He will be aware of any imperfections or faults on the part of
the mate, and be totally realistic about his own expectations; and he can
create a fantastic partnership situation with good communication as the
basis. When Neptune is badly aspected, this individual will be totally
unrealistic about his expectations. He can be attracted to someone with a
naive approach to life and with stars in the eyes. He tends to put a loved
one on a pedestal and can glamorize the whole idea of marriage or
partnership. He may be unwilling to deal with everyday problems and may not
notice signs of decay in a relationship along the way. He can expect a
goddess, she a knight in white shining armor. He expects magic and
can project his own dreams onto the mate, never allowing for the truth of a
situation. He can make unreasonable demands on the partner and be
tremendously shocked if the partner doesn't fulfill his dreams. Virgo
rising may have a rude awakening about his practical nature when he can be
so impractical in selecting a mate. It is the one area where he allows
himself to be unaware of fact. If his dreams are shattered, his love object
has fallen from the pedestal, and the rose petals are scattered on the
ground, it may be enormously difficult for him to recover. He would find it
hard to trust his own perceptions again. If he can be totally realistic about
his needs in a partnership situation and express those needs clearly, he can
attract someone who wil fit into his scheme of an ideal partnership. He may
never be satisfied unless he has an almost perfect marriage
or relationship. Many times, the individual fears a strong partnership
situation before the fact. Fearing a letdown, he will never find anyone who
could live up to his ideal. A mere hint of imperfection negates a possibility
of strong commitment. He can keep himself safe by picking the very person who
could never live up to his standards, thereby keeping at bay his fear of
disillusion. (Lyn Birbeck) You are a servant or slave. Mercury is your
ruling planet. Your shadow is confusion. Other is a saviour or victim.
Neptune is Other's ruling planet. You approach life with a view to improving
the quality of it in some way, and so you have an eye for detail and, more's
the point, an eye for what is flawed, unclean, untidy or unhealthy.
Consequently, you are almost constantly on the go - there is always something
or someone that needs seeing to from where you stand. This means that Other
will very often fall into this category of what 'needs seeing to'. So
Other may be vague, unkempt, absent-minded, weak, or in some way in need or
practical attention - or at least, that is how he / she will seem to you. And
this is the point, because you can make a rod for your back with all manner
of lame duck, hopeless case, addict or invalid becoming your Other - or
workload rather - simply because you see Other as something in need of your
attention. Other's response to this will be to be even more vague and
unkempt, for you are only too willing to take the strain. But if you dropped
your critical gaze for long enough you might see that Other is showing a way
to be more accepting and laid back about life. Your need for things to be
'just so' masks a fear of collapse and confusion. Put more accurately, your
Shadow is actually a profound doubt that life and Other will be all right
without your constant attention, especially to those details. You find it hard
to trust the fact that in life some things (just have to) work themelves out
in their own way and time. As if to show you that you can no more control
Other than a sailor can control teh sea, the 'confusion' can leak in with
your being particularly messy in one area of your life, and quite
indiscriminate in some of your relationships. Pick what you ought to let go
of - then do so. A mixture of purity and 'anything goes' would be a shorthand
if somewhat contradictory description of your ideal relationship.
Unconditional with distinct no-go areas would be another. What all this
amounts to is that you are attempting to find that perfect relationship; and
the nearer you get to it, the more you appreciate that such a thing is a
paradox. And the further you get from it, the more impossible it seems. The
answer is to keep working at it until you have distilled that blend
of discernment and acceptance When you are alone, it is simply because you
have priced yourself out of the market. Virgo is the sign of the Hermit, so
you are more likely than most to get left on the shelf - out of choice, you'd
protest. You may well like it that way. More to the point, though, you are
inclined to find no-one quite right because there is some deeplyseated flaw
of your own which you have classified as untouchable or hopeless. Not so -
just simply in need of practice! (John Townley) This position makes you a
very attentive lover; and your sexual enjoyment is limited only by your
imagination and the means to implement it. You should find a partner who
knows exactly what pleases and displeases you. At the same time, you will go
to great lengths to find out precisely what turns your lover on, and then you
will do just that with love and care. The only suggestion is not to linger
too long on any facet of lovemaking, lest it obscure the overall spirit of
the occasion. You may tend to get into a rut physically, so from time to time
you should discuss with your lover what you most enjoy so that you can add
some variety to your relationship. You derive great pleasure from the props
and surroundings of your lovemaking, from a well-appointed bedroom to all
kinds of playful fetishism. In general, you should go by a predetermined
scenario, for too many surprises may prevent you from fully entering into the
spirit of the occasion. It is rather important to have a partner who conforms
physically with your image of a good lover, and it is wise to discuss ahead
of time your preferences in bed to avoid running into problems later. You
will be happiest with a lover with whom you can work out a mutually exciting
scene ahead of time and then play it to the hilt. (Robert Hand) You may be
somewhat shy and not very self-assertive toward others. You may think
of yourself as an uninteresting person or as one who appeals to only a few
people. This is probably not true, but it is a feeling shared by many persons
with Virgo rising. In fact you are a soft-spoken, neat and orderly person who
is quite likable. Your only real problem may come from the fact that you are
a perfectionist, and you may demand that others live up to the same high
standards that you set for yourself. You are quick to point out people's
flaws to them, but you should learn to be a bit more tactful. Sometimes
correcting someone is not worth the trouble it causes. You are quite
practical, and you do not like to waste time on impractical schemes. If you
cannot see the point of some activity, you are not interested in doing it. Often
you won't do something for its own sake; it has to have a purpose. But in
making objects of one sort or another, you have excellent taste, although
very reserved; and you like everything to be both graceful and
practical. If you can be useful to others or find some purpose that you
believe in, you will be very happy. You believe in work, and you feel best
when you are involved in some project. This attitude will intensify as you
get older.
