Virgo

AUG 23 - SEP 22

GRACEFUL, ORGANIZED, KIND

Virgo, the sixth sign of the zodiac, belongs to those born between the dates of August 23rd and September 22nd.

Virgo has a rich inner life, and can sometimes seem shy at first meeting. A Virgo won't spill secrets right away, and it's important to earn a Virgo's trust. But once you do, that Virgin will be a friend for life. And if you think that you're dating a shy Virgo, trust that those walls will fall down in the bedroom. One of the most passionate signs, Virgos specialize at connecting to their physicality, and this earth sign loves and celebrates physical connection with their partner.

Virgos expect perfection from themselves, and they may project those high standards on the other people in their life. A Virgo hates when someone lets him or her down, even if it's minor and unavoidable, like a last-minute cancellation. Virgo signs never want to disappoint the people in their lives, so they may spread themselves too thin put themselves last.

Virgo signs love and are inspired by beauty. They consider what they wear and how they decorate their house to be an extension of their personality. They thrive when everything in their life looks Pinterest-perfect, and although their friends make fun of their penchant for organizing, it truly is the anchor that makes Virgo's life run smoothly.

Intelligent and a lifelong learner, Virgo loves trying new things, reading books, and learning about the world. They'll happily sign up for an adult-education course, and they consider an afternoon in bed with a book pretty much ideal. A Virgo prefers an evening with good friends to a huge party, and values downtime just as much as socializing. This sign doesn't need to fill their calendar to be content.

Smart, sophisticated, and kind, Virgo gets the job done without complaining. Virgos are amazing friends, always there to lend a hand and also lend advice. Practical Virgos are incredibly adept at big picture thinking, and planning out their life, their vacations, and what they're going to do today isn't a drag it makes them feel in control and secure.

Love Style

Virgo’s love style is thoughtful, sincere, and deeply devoted. They may come across as reserved at first, but beneath their cautious exterior lies a heart that loves with quiet strength and unwavering loyalty. Virgo expresses love through practical care, helpfulness, and attention to detail—they show up for their partner in tangible, meaningful ways rather than grand romantic gestures. They value honesty, stability, and emotional intelligence in a relationship, seeking a partner who shares their commitment to growth and mutual support. Once they feel safe and understood, Virgo opens up with warmth, humility, and a deep desire to build a lasting, grounded connection.

Friendship Style

Virgo’s friendship style is loyal, dependable, and quietly nurturing. They may not seek the spotlight in social settings, but they’re often the steady, supportive presence that others rely on. Virgo friends are thoughtful listeners and problem-solvers, always ready with practical advice, a helping hand, or a well-timed reality check. They value consistency and honesty, and tend to form deep, lasting bonds with those who respect their boundaries and appreciate their sincere nature. While they can be selective and take time to open up, their friendships are rooted in trust, care, and a genuine desire to see their loved ones thrive.

Career, Money, & Success Traits

Virgo approaches career, money, and success with precision, discipline, and a strong sense of responsibility. They thrive in structured environments where they can apply their analytical mind, attention to detail, and problem-solving skills—often excelling in fields like healthcare, education, research, writing, or anything that requires organization and service. Virgos are hardworking and reliable, often becoming the behind-the-scenes force that keeps things running smoothly.

When it comes to money, Virgo tends to be practical and cautious. They prefer saving over splurging and are often skilled at budgeting, investing wisely, and planning for long-term security. For Virgo, success isn’t just about recognition—it’s about doing meaningful work with integrity and contributing to something greater. Their path to success is steady, thoughtful, and built on a foundation of diligence, humility, and quiet excellence.

Greatest Challenges

Virgo's desire to have everything be perfect can manifest in frustration when things don't live up to those (sometimes unrealistic) expectations. Besides occasionally leading to fights with friends and partners, Virgo's focus on perfection can cause everything even uploading an Instagram photo to take forever. Learning to go with the flow and accept "good enough" is a constant struggle.

Secret Weapon

Virgo is incredibly hard working. When this sign wants something, they'll work for it. They're also good at making the most of things friends look to them to help them with a DIY project or redecorate their home. Virgins push the people around them to be their best if you want a training buddy for a marathon, you know who to call. Bottom line: Virgos work hard, and that work ethic inspires everyone in their life.
