What does my sign Virgo mean?
Virgos possess some very positive attributes to their character:

• They are modest people, who keep their feet firmly grounded. They are usually shy, but do come out of their shell when they feel more comfortable.
• Virgos love the little details. They are very meticulous characters who take a lot of care in their work, and in making sure everything is perfect.
• This star sign is also known for its reliability. You can always rely on a Virgo.
• They are practical and diligent creatures, as are most earth signs. This makes them a great complement for water signs, who normally have their heads in the clouds.
• Virgos are known for their intellectual capabilities. They are prepared to step back from a problem and analyse the bigger picture before making an informed decision.

However, they also have some not-so-good aspects to their character:

• They can be very fussy, especially when it comes to food! If something isn't perfect, they do not want to know about it. They are also known to worry about things far too often, which can irritate more laid-back and easy-going signs.
• Due to their high standards, they can be overly-critical and harsh on others.
• They have a naturally conservative attitude, which makes it difficult for them to change with the times and to be open to new ideas.
