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. 

The moon is exalted in the sign of Taurus. The steadiness of Taurus stabilizes the Moon’s otherwise fluctuating, and capricious nature. In this placement, the moon is granted with exceptional powers of focus. You approach your life the way you do your work — systematically. While others overcomplicate issues, you seek for the most effective method to handle it, and get it done even if it’s personally uncomfortable for you.

The sign of Taurus also draws out the more reserved, reflective characteristics of the Moon. You thoughtfully consider your options before reaching a determination. With a Moon in Taurus, you do not form conclusions immediately and are resistant to outside influences. It takes a while for you to reach a verdict but once you do, there is no way to make you alter your mind. With a Taurus Moon, you take your time digesting information. You are also a person who is resourceful, thrifty and a collector of tangible things. Taurus moon also exhibits the least emotional problems of any Moon sign. 

You are enamored with love. Still, you are far more romantic than sensual. You glide smoothly over the poetry of love. Anything rude, crude, indecent, or coarse repels you. In your view, genuine love is of the spirit. This is not to say you are prudish or sexually chaste. Surely, you fall in love too quickly and often have more than one affair operating at a time. Nevertheless, a love affair for a Venus-Libran must possess all the right trappings and rituals.

The atmosphere produced by champagne, intimate candlelit dinners, poetry composed expressly for you, and gorgeous gifts really loosen your reservations. You put high value on charming social manners. People who don’t measure up are promptly rejected regardless of what their deeper qualities may be. Venus-in Libra can be distant and detached toward anyone who presumes. This position of Venus is excellent for creative talent or talent for design and illustration. You are prosperous working in creative plans within a partnership or marriage (sometimes you combine both). Venus-Librans adore conveniences and extravagance and tend to be overpriced with money.
