Now sometimes, we’re not too sure just how right-on these astrological profiles are. I mean, consider Virgo, your intrepid author’s sign. Virgos are universally considered to be very buttoned-down, methodical and detail-oriented. Geesh. Meticulous and reliable. I have to wonder if my mother didn’t lie about my birth date. I’m about as flaky and they come and as far as methodical is concerned, I never do anything the same way twice. Anyway, for you archetypical Virgos, here’s your profile, according to the experts. Now intelligent and analytical, we can agree with.

It does say that we’re shy and can be difficult to land as a partner. Maybe that’s why we’re writing this on a Saturday night when all those Aquarius and Pisces are out there living it up. The best match for Virgo is Capricorn and the worst is Aquarius. One thing some experts say about the Virgo is that while they appear cool and aloof on the outside, they may be hiding emotion that is almost too intense. We’re so grateful someone recognizes this that we may have to briefly disappear and weep in a corner somewhere for a few minutes. 

Romantic, and glamorous, moon in Libra imbues a keen appreciation for beauty and art. Libra moon people have an artistic eye that is unrivaled by any other Moon sign. They have an increased awareness of their surroundings and of other people. What they really appreciate are the experiences that make life more wonderful and delightful. They detest rudeness, crudity, or conflict. Their immediate response to anything unpleasant is to dismiss it, or, if that is infeasible, at least to put it in the best light imaginable.

They try to encompass themselves with comfort and beauty within a serene and luxurious environment. Because they fancy beautiful things, Libra moons are happy to blow their money on objects that catch their attention. The Moon in the balanced sign of Libra engenders a welcoming, autonomous mind that tries to assess the world dispassionately and sensibly. There is also great personal grace and a heightened capacity to get along with others. They are fabulous at understanding other people’s perspective without losing sight of their own viewpoints. 

Mercury is the planet of communication and Libra the sign of balance. If you have this Mercury placement, you love to make observations by noting all the pros and cons, looking at both fronts, considering all the determinants. What you desire is to make the perfect selection. Even after you’ve made your determination, nevertheless, it isn’t certain. A preferred ploy is to utilize a wait-and-see approach. In honesty, you have nice hunches and often perceive things in a glance.

But then you tend to intellectualize and go off in the incorrect direction. Toward other souls, your stance is gentle, compassionate, generous. You are fond of socializing. Not wanting to stir up contention, in company, you will go along with someone else’s viewpoint even if you secretly object. Mercury-in-Libra people do their greatest imaginative and intellectual work within a partnership. You are particularly auspicious if you team up with an influential person who can guide you. Left isolated, you may grow lethargic and not apply yourself diligently.

Venus-Leos are able to effortlessly draw warm responses from others. There is something so fascinating, so irresistibly attractive, about you that you enjoy fabulous acclaim. You are exceedingly loving and charitable, purchasing costly gifts for those you cherish and adore them to the skies in the presence of other people. Of course, what you need in return is a strong commitment, loyalty, and loads of attention.

You must constantly be assertive in a love affair. “All the world’s a stage” was penned about your passionate nature. No one can make a fuss or confrontation as exciting as a Venus-Leo. Needless to say, you are attracted to the business of performance, and many of you are endowed with splendid artistic faculties. You also love dainty possessions—property, garments, gems, furs. Though self-indulgent and pleasure-seeking, you are able of making vast self-sacrifice for the comfort of someone else.

While Mars is in Libra, the energy of this planet appears to alternate. You are changeable and sensual in your sexuality. A great abundance of your force is spent developing emotional connections. Yet you possess a listless attitude toward sex and frequently must be sought after rather than act as the pursuer.

You are utopian and aesthetic; crudeness of any sort turns you off. You fancy relationships with cultivated, mature lovers, but tend to grow connected in troubled hookups. This placement of Mars is great for a different artistic or literary genius. There is great elegance and discretion in your work. You have a desirable ability to make a pleasant impact on the populace. Mars-Librans believe deeply in fair play. Your efforts are always prefaced by a careful evaluating of the pros and cons.

Being a Snake ourselves, we should be able to recite our Chinese restaurant placement profile by heart, but here it is anyway: Born in the years 1941, 1953, 1965, 1977, 1989 and 2001. Wise and intense with a tendency towards physical beauty. Vain and high tempered. The Snake is an interesting mix of extroversion paired with introversion, intuitive reasoning paired with business savoir-faire.

Snakes are considered to be lucky with money and will generally have more than enough to live life to the fullest, regardless of how important it considers money to be; this may be due to the fact that Snakes tend to be rather tight with cash. They’re not stingy; they’re simply more mentally than physically active. Snakes tend to hang back a bit in order to analyze a situation before jumping into it. Their charming, seductive quality actually belies a rather retiring nature; this Sign is perfectly happy to spend the whole day curled up with a good book and, thus, can be mislabeled as being lazy. 

Unlike the position of the Earth in our solar system, the element of earth lies dead center in the Chinese astrological charts. This is probably because ancients believed the Earth was the center of the universe and all celestial bodies circled our planet. People born under the element of Earth seem to feel the universe revolves around them as well. Self –centered, ambitious and stubborn, earth people are used to getting what they want and achieving their goals. Failure is foreign to them. Goals are achieved through hard work and determination. Earth people know how to plan for the long term and they are stable enough to stick with the plan to its success. The stubbornness of the earth element is a double-edged sword, giving those born under its rule the determination to follow through when things are tough, and the audacity to defend their point, even when they are wrong.

The INTP is one of 16 MBTI personality types. INTP stands for Introvert (I), Intuitive (N), thinking (T) and perceiving (P). Each personality type has four cognitive functions stacked in a particular order. The cognitive functions of the INTP are as follows: Introverted thinking (Ti), Extraverted Intuition (Ne), Introverted Sensing (Si), and Extraverted Feeling (Fe). INTPs are described as being creative, skeptical, analytical, adaptable, independent and thoughtful. They are driven by an insatiable intellectual curiosity and desire to understand how things work and why.

Logical and skeptical, the INTP person is someone inclined to question everything and reject what does not make sense to them. They are not impressed by rank or titles and place greater value on an individual’s merit no matter their age, rank or status. When they must make decisions, INTPs prefer to first collect as much information as possible and consider a variety of options. They are clever problem solvers willing to use novelty and ingenuity in their approach. They are polite and friendly but not highly social. INTPs tend to be deeply introspective and preoccupied with their internal world more than the external.
