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. 

If you have the Venus in Virgo placement, you manage to be careful about falling in love. You sometimes sidestep entanglement by taking shallow deficiencies in a person and inflating them disproportionately as major character defects. You carry yourself on a tight leash, because you worry that your emotions will be misused by someone undeserving. What you desire in a love relationship is someone who will judge you as unique.

Curiously, though, when you do invest your heart away it’s oftentimes to the wrong person, who will not understand your fine attributes. (For some reason, this state of Venus tends to promote embarrassment.) Venus-Virgos have several merits. You are elegant and bright, loyal and compassionate. Usually, you are a creative writer and educator; you have an outstanding business sense and a calm but clever sense of humor. Many of our distinguished government leaders and philanthropists are VenusVirgos who have provided their love to the world at large rather than to an individual person.

Those with Mars in Scorpio are possessed with great tenacity and relentless persistence. They can be become obsessed with their objectives and spare no expense when it comes to making their desires manifest. They have strength and resilience to withstand and overcome hardship and obstacles. Mars in Scorpio does not give up until they have exhausted all options. The purpose of their goals can be all-consuming and become the epicenter of their focus at the exclusion of everything else.

They have a never say die attitude but they have the type of determination that can drive them to the brink and beyond. There is underlying desire for transcendence and immortality through their work and achievements. They do not like to waste time and want to make the most of the life given to them. Their passion permeates everything they do and can sometimes manifest in spectacularly negative and frightening ways. Their tempers can be heated and make them sometimes quarrelsome and touchy. But they also possess great creative powers and you can feel the passion they put into the work they produce.

Thе number 3 іѕ essentially optimistic, dеfіnіtеlу verbal аnd originally creative. Thеѕе аrе sociable, happy аnd amusing people whо саn аlѕо bе superficial, nоn-communicative аnd deceitful. Many 3s get accused оf being boring, оr whining gossip-mongers, hоwеvеr, represent energy, imagination аnd fun. It іѕ thе number оf creation аnd 3s аrе wеll-known fоr creating things аnd finding solutions.

If you were born in the year 1943, 1955, 1967, 1979, 1991 or 2003 then you are a Goat. You’re elegant and creative, somewhat timid and prefer anonymity. You are most compatible with Pigs and Rabbits, but don’t mix it up with the Ox. Goats tend to have a hard time with romance; anyone who couples up with a Goat must know, this Sign has a sensitive streak a mile wide and can be subject to bouts of anxiety over seemingly inconsequential things.

Goats need plenty of love, support and open reassurance from their lovers. If a relationship is marked by conflict, the Goat will often pull away — either physically or simply by retreating into the safe haven of its imagination. Sheep have a flair for the artistic. Their innate sense of drama and rhythm make them great actors and musicians. In fact, almost the entire list of “famous Sheep” is comprised of well known actors, cartoonists and musicians. These are beautiful people, who enjoy creating beautiful things. 

The Fire element is both destructive and nourishing. On a cold winter day, there is nothing more calming to the soul than curling up by a roaring fire with a good book or cherished love one. On the other side, there is no other force on earth more destructive than a raging, out of control fire. Fire nourishes the human body by providing us heat to cook our food and light with which to see.

And, there is nothing more painful than having a part of your body taken by fire or flame. Fire signs draw attention to themselves.  Those under the influence of Fire have charm and charge on their side.  They have an infectious enthusiasm that makes them natural leaders, so people just can’t help but to follow them. They take the role of leader seriously, and do it well. For fire people, managing others comes naturally. They are decisive, compassionate, understanding yet firm.

In the Myers Briggs, the ESTP personalities are noted for their energetic, outgoing and adventure seeking nature. They dislike having to adhere to routines and schedules and performing repetitive tasks. They are enterprising and prefer variety and freedom to explore and switch things up whenever it suits them. ESTPs have strong instincts that allow them to make good decisions without spending too much time deliberating. They prefer to live in the moment and to enjoy the here and now.

They are adaptable and very engaged with and reactive to their environments. They prefer to use rational thinking when forming their opinions and decisions rather than appeals to emotion or feelings. They are also competitive and action-oriented. ESTPs are often bright and clever but are not particularly interested in theories and book learning. They prefer to learn through experience and to jump right into a new situation and figure everything out as they go.
