Man
The Virgo Man
The Virgo man pays precise compliments: he notices new glasses and a change of perfume. In astrology Mercury, the ruler of the sign, is the planet of the mind, and in an earth sign the mind turns into attention to detail. He courts slowly, as if checking that he has understood correctly. He finds it hard to talk about his feelings: he thinks them over for a long time before he says them.
In everyday life the Virgo man has a shopping list in the order of the shelves in the shop. His friends call him when something in their paperwork is wrong. As a mutable sign he adapts easily to people and places, though not to disorder. He rests when everything is in order, and so he rarely rests.
Woman
The Virgo Woman
The Virgo woman watches how a person treats the waiter before she decides whether to let them close. She falls for actions more than for words. Grand gestures embarrass her. She has clear boundaries and names them calmly, from the start. She rarely says “I love you”, and so it carries weight.
The Virgo woman solves problems while others are still discussing them: in astrology the earth sign gives her a sense of the real. Tradition also links the sign's sixth house with small animals: there is often a cat at her place, cared for by the book. She writes pencil notes in her books. In the morning she plans the day, in the evening she checks it.
Stones
Stones for Virgo
The Virgo stone in the old Western lists of the zodiac is carnelian, an orange to dark red chalcedony; one of these lists sets jade beside it. The modern list of birthstones by month gives September the sapphire, and most Virgo birthdays fall in September.
Carnelian is affordable and sturdy, and seals for rings have been cut from it since antiquity. Besides blue, sapphire comes in almost every colour except red: red is ruby. The link between a stone and a sign is symbolic, and each school describes it in its own way.
Who you match with. A sign describes a person by the Sun. Whether two people suit each other shows in both their natal charts: the reading for two compares them by the date, time and place of birth and shows where they support each other and where there is tension.
