Virgo natives adore in analyzing people, ideas and situations. Thus, they are almost certain to come up with some answers. These mentally smart individuals are thinkers and helpers who like to facilitate solutions as a service to others. Even so, these are souls who crave independence and a space of their own, so they cannot be expected to lay all their cards out on the table. In the eyes of those governed by Virgo, some things are best kept private. Governed by the Element of Earth, these natives are forever realistic and will set practical goals for themselves (and any members of their teams) which are capable of being achieved. Task-oriented and highly organized, Virgo individuals make for extremely loyal colleagues and may often prove to be the "conscience" of their group. They will most certainly get things accomplished but may well be reluctant to take the credit. The inherent perfectionism here can lead to nervousness and ill-health, so a good balance needs to be achieved. Possessed of a strong work ethic, these natives excel in creating a winning team. Their discerning eye and discriminating style is difficult to beat. It is easy for those governed by this Sign to be thinkers, problem-solvers, organizers and supporters of any team...they also take great pleasure in being such. However, it is important that such subjects take care of themselves as well and try to remember that all work and no play would probably make anybody rather a rather dull person. If those ruled by Virgo can learn to criticize less and emphasize the positive more, then they will accomplish a great deal. Any office inhabited by a Virgo native is likely to be well-organized with a slew of computers and other electronic gadgetry for maximum efficiency. There could even be a sign on the door reading, "No slobs allowed." Preference in terms of a vehicle tends toward the elegantly reliable...a midnight blue Mercedes which purrs like a kitten, for example, or a Volvo, which is both practical and reliable while being so tastefully aesthetic. Business meetings are likely to consist of a light salad eaten in a squeaky-clean restaurant. Born to study, the Virgo individual strives to develop intelligence, organize, solve problems, put things in order and, most of all, to serve. One of the missions of these natives to ensure that those around them discover and develop their own personal potential. The ability here to analyze and perceive the details will teach others to be more penetrating and perfective. There is also a strong tendency to heal, alleviate and solve material problems as well as those involving health.

Virgo natives are well-adapted for either mercantile or professional life, displaying both tact and cleverness in their commercial undertakings as well as in professional pursuits. As a general rule, they have no problems in accumulating wealth and are unlikely to allow many opportunities to slip through their fingers. Some of the world's most famous writers may be found under this Sign...Leo Tolstoy, Mary Shelley, D.H. Lawrence, Stephen King and H.G. Wells, for example. The reason for such success perhaps being that these natives possess a tremendous insight into human nature and the fact that such writings are filled with wisdom and knowledge of nature's laws. The ability to analyze, combined with the inherent love of detail, form and color, also make Virgo subjects quite able as critics of art, music and drama. Scientific work and research...even if seemingly humble...is also well-suited to those governed by Virgo and can take the form of statistics, craftsmanship or office work connected with an industrial application of one of the sciences.

As employees, Virgo individuals will prove themselves to be gems, treasured by their employers for a very long time. Indeed, any employer of such a native will be extremely reluctant to allow the Virgo subject to leave. Those governed by this Sign are uncomfortable with moving up the ladder too quickly and would prefer a much more gradual apprach. They value their work but are also conscious of appreciation and recognition. However, there will be no hesitation here in moving on if policies are felt to be unreasonable. Virgo natives project the image of being selfless, but they know where to draw the line. There can be little doubt that subjects of this Sign are certified workaholics. They possess an innate fear of being feeble and dependent...and this is what will drive them ahead. Blessed with a perfect eye for detail, sometimes such perfection can become too perfect to be comfortable. These are souls who value perfection more than titles but will not hesitate to turn on the charm when it is truly needed. Virgo employees tend to be heavily relied upon for their powerful analytical skills in sorting out a problem. Their powers of discrimination are excellent and they seem to be able to instinctively sense if a correct solution is in sight. Those governed by this Sign have a strong sense of ethics and will be totally at ease working without supervision. They detest short cust and will spend hours "splitting hairs" over a logical solution. The Virgo native might, at times, be slow but he or she will always be sure. As a boss, the Virgo individual lacks the drive to be a high-powered decision-making executive type. Very few individuals ruled by this Sign are comfortable in positions of authority and truly prefer to be "behind the scenes," running the company like a well-oiled machine. In addition, they excel at carrying out the original ideas of others. Not ones to waste personal emotions, these subjects are uncomfortable with being a sounding post for the troubles of those around them and are also ill at ease with praise. They find it almost impossible to fire orders at subordinates and shudder at the thought of wearing many "hats" at the same time. Thus, most Virgo individuals make for very reluctant bosses. Many times, those who fall within the jurisdiction of Virgo are excellent at piecing together parts of a problem but then miss the whole issue completely, which can result in bad decisions. Despite the inherent trait toward criticism and the perpetual facade of perfection, Virgo natives generally make for kindhearted employers. As work colleagues, Virgo natives are popular for their ability to engage in intelligent conversation. They never run out of topics to discuss and others find this to be a great intellectual stimulant. Indeed, others will seek out Virgo natives provided such natives do not indulge in a round of nit-picking every time. In short, the critical attitude will need to take a backseat from time to time.

In terms of making a "silk purse from a sow's ear," Virgo natives count among the best to be found in the entire Zodiac. Incredible money managers, they are able to live on very little and squirrel sums away for a rainy day. These are certainly not individuals likely to be caught bouncing checks. In addition, being chronic worriers, they rarely find themselves entangled in anything which is not strictly legitimate. Sensible, self-reliant and blessed with a healthy dose of common sense, those governed by Virgo possess a cautious and reflective nature...one which likes to size-up a situation prior to making a decision. Thus, they make for excellent business partners. Since the mind here is highly analytical, accounts will invariably be in order. In general, these subjects prefer a salaried position to freelance employment and possess the uncanny ability to live on next to nothing while still having fun. Firm believers that "some of the best things in life are free," Virgo natives are rarely counted among the big spenders of the world nor are they prone to indulge in gambling. They hate to borrow money and probably hate to lend it even more. Indeed, the only time these individuals are likely to be lenders will be to family members in need, or a situation where there is a guarantee that any loan they make will be repaid. The fun for natives of this Sign is not in the spending of money. It lies in the cultivating of less tangible assets such as knowledge and friendship.

Virgo/Aries: A business partnership between Virgo and Aries has the potential to work very well. The logical mind of Virgo, which constantly calculates the best moves, blends nicely with the Aries willingness to work hard. This is likely to be a most favorable union, provided Aries is given free rein within the scope of his or her agreed-upon responsibilities.

Virgo/Taurus: A business partnership between Virgo and Taurus can be very favorable to both individuals since both are governed by the mechanically-minded and practical element of earth. Consequently, they share the same moral and ethical outlook on business. In addition, courtesy of the influence provided by Mercury (Virgo's ruling planet), the Virgo partner will forever be analyzing the business in a logical fashion to ensure it is prospering. In short, this is a most excellent union in terms of a business partnership.

Virgo/Gemini: A business partnership between Virgo and Gemini has the potential to be successful. Being logical and analytical, Virgo can easily handle the mechanical side of running the business, while the talkative and outgoing Gemini will interact well with the public, as well as securing adequate advertising, etc, for the product in question. In addition, this pair may well strike up a lasting friendship that would further help the business.

Virgo/Cancer: A business partnership between Virgo and Cancer can be very successful. Here, the key is being able to pin down Cancer to a certain position where he or she will reign supreme. Virgo will doubtless take care of the planning and mechanics to keep the business moving forward, while Cancer will propose some very good designs, as well as displaying a sensitive approach to both existing and potential clients or customers.

Virgo/Leo: A business partnership between Leo and Virgo will be rough going to say the least. Neither will show respect for the actions and ideas of the other, and they are not likely to be "in business" for very long. They are also unlikely to become friends. The conservative Virgo tends to cramp the Leo style, while Leo would doubtless give Virgo nightmares over the business venture as a whole.

Virgo/Virgo: A business partnership between two individuals governed by Virgo has a high chance of success. Here, both are forward-thinking individuals who approach business problems in a thorough and logical manner. In addition, this relationship could develop into a friendship that may last well beyond the days of mutual enterprise.

Virgo/Libra: A business partnership between Virgo and Libra is virtually doomed to fail. Here, there are vast differences in personality and as time passes, there will proably be an increased lack of respect and tolerance between these two, so much so that no type of business could possibly survive. In short, the pairing of signs in this relationship is simply far too volatile.

Virgo/Scorpio: A business partnership between Virgo and Scorpio could be quite favorable. The key here will be to keep the relationship strictly on a business level since these two are unlikely to become friends. Nonetheless, each can bring much to a business venture. The mutable quality of Virgo, ruled by the element of earth, will possess the ability to keep the business mechanics running smoothly, solving each problem courtesy of logical thinking and a genuine empathy for others. The fixed quality of Scorpio, ruled by the element of water, will excel in the areas of planning and negotiating operations. Given that each sign will respect the other's handling of finances, this could result in a most beneficial and mutually satisfying business arrangement.

Virgo/Sagittarius: A business partnership between Virgo and Sagittarius is unlikely to meet with success. Here, there is a general overall lack of compatability and empathy between these two signs. Neither partner would be willing to relinquish control to the other and if Sagittarius were needed, he or she would probably be out doing his or her "own thing" with no concern whatsoever regarding the affairs of the business..

Virgo/Capricorn: A business partnership between Virgo and Capricorn should make for a favorable union. Both signs are governed by the element of earth and since Virgo is of a mutable quality and Capricorn of a cardinal quality, this pair will be able to work well together. They share the same attitudes toward finances, and each is secure in his or her own personality to function without any undue jealousy concerning the other's abilities or achievements, viewing all as an asset to the partnership.

Virgo/Aquarius: A business partnership between Virgo and Aquarius is probably doomed to fail. There are so many different and conflicting facets to the personalities of these two signs, that they usually have a hard time in just making friends with one another, let alone in forming a flourishing business relationship. The only way this combination could possibly work, would be if Aquarius were a silent partner-investor with no connection to the business...other than receiving a share of the profits. Logical Virgo will function much better alone than he or she could function within an Aquarius/Virgo business relationship.

Virgo/Pisces: A business partnership between Virgo and Pisces is unlikely to meet with much success. The Pisces way of solving problems would not allow for a planning session during which this pair could input their ideas to the business. In addition, logical Virgo will resist acceptance of the intuitive approach that Pisces is sure to attempt. This, coupled with all the personality conflicts, would doubtless cause too many problems for any business venture to flourish.
