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 sign of Virgo steadies the ever-shifting influence of the Moon. Virgo moon has keen analytical leanings with a precise, discriminating mind. They do not seek knowledge simply for the purpose of knowledge but for the purpose of practical application. Their initial reaction to the sense-impressions they take in from the world is to analyze and question. Moon in Virgo people are sometimes so suspicious they doubt what they see with their own eyes.

They prefer to discuss concepts and investigate ideas held by others while holding fast to many of their own preconceived notions. They are not so unreasonable, though, that they will cling to a theory once the facts have proven them wrong. They are seekers of veritas, and consider truth to be what is left after inaccuracies have been revealed. No one would consider them a naive idealist wearing rose-tinted glasses. Their realistic pragmatism makes them well suited in business. They focus on building long-term gains rather than get-rich quick money schemes.

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.

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.

Mars in Gemini likes dynamic activity of the mind. You are cleverly cerebral, with a steel-trap mind that immediately understands concepts and shapes novel ideas. You are perceptive and realistic and reach conclusions in a flash. The dilemma is that you lack strength of determination. You hesitate, dawdle, and think of yet another delay. In matters of sensuality, you feel desire in the mind before it matures into reality.

You appreciate the enterprise leading up to lovemaking and have emotions that are easily stimulated. However, as soon as an affair suffers a loss of zest and becomes dull you look for the exit hatch. You manage to have plenty of relationships and intimacies. Mars-Geminis are apt to encourage and to lead others through the power of the verbalized and printed word. Usually you possess a captivating voice and a compelling gift to persuade others of what you say.

Thе number one belongs tо thе idealists. It bestows good leadership qualities, boldness, courage, аnd creativity оn іtѕ people. Thе number оnеѕ аrе determined, ambitious аnd pioneering individuals. On thе оthеr side, thеу саn bе egocentric, overbearing, indolent аnd weak. Thе number one іѕ thе number оf new beginnings, action аnd leadership. Thеѕе аrе thе people thаt lead іn thе process оf change initiation.

Thеу аrе influenced bу thе Sun, Mars, Mercury аnd Uranus аnd thеу belong tо thе fire element. Thеѕе people possess аll thе aura colors. Ruby іѕ thе perfect gemstone fоr thе number one people.

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. 

Nurturing yet dangerous, vital and deadly, water is a ripe with contradiction. In moderate amounts it is a blessing, in over abundance, a curse. Water is the only element with the ability to put out fire and make things grow and thrive. Water is vital to our very survival. Without water crops wither and die and there is no food. The human body, and in fact, all life on Earth is dependent upon water. Yet, even for life, water has the potential to be deadly. Too much water in the body leads to water intoxication and even death. It is, however, a delicate balance.

Too little water and all life withers and dies with the effects of the hot sun. Too much water chokes out needed oxygen and drowns. It is for this very reason the element water is represented by the color black. Water rules intelligence and wisdom. People born under the element water are uncommonly intelligent and capable. For all their wisdom and reasoning ability, water people tend to have difficulty making and sticking to decisions. Diplomatic, and intuitive, water people are flexible. They have a special ability to ‘go with the flow’ and are usually easygoing.

The INFP is one of the 16 MBTI personality types. INFP stands for introverted (I), intuitive (N), feeling (F) and perceiving (P). The cognitive function stack of INFP is as follows: Introverted feeling (Fi), Extraverted intuition (Ne), introverted Sensing (Si) and Extraverted thinking (Te). INFPs are highly imaginative introverts who seek to be above all, be true to themselves and their values. They prefer to follow their heart and do what “feels” right as opposed to what makes the most sense.

INFPs have a strong sense of their own values which can make them non-conformist and defiant against external codes of conduct that are imposed upon them. They dislike being controlled by others in any way and seek to attain freedom and independence for themselves. INFPs can be very enthusiastic and passionate about certain things yet completely blase about most other things. They desire novelty and channels for their creative expression. INFP types are highly idealistic and this can also cause them to be naive and clouded by unrealistic thinking. Still, their faith can carry them far and inspire others along the way. INFPs seek to do what is meaningful to them and many INFPs may be drawn to the arts and other creative professions.
