Overview of the Virgo Person
The Virgo person can be hard to fathom. Their paradoxical and often mysterious nature seems to resist explanation. Part of the reason this is true is that Virgos are often taken up with highly personal endeavors which may be hard to communicate or to share. Their personal quests and struggles may have to be ventured alone.
The power of the intellect figures prominently in the Virgo personality. Those born in this sign use their minds well in a variety of scientific, technical, and practical activities, generally honing their craft or skill to a high level of expertise. Virgos also put great emphasis on maintaining standards on their work. Unfortunately, they may impose the same rigorous standards on less capable or more easygoing individuals who find it difficult to live up to such expectations. When Virgos extend their value system to the moral sphere as well, as they frequently do, they can appear to others as somewhat forbidding or even condemning people. Thankfully, those born in this sign rarely operate by a double standard, and remain vigilant where the justness of their actions is concerned.
Approval and disapproval thus plays an important role in their makeup. Those born in this sign who have been rejected, denied love or unduly criticized in childhood may be fated to repeat such behavior towards their own children or partner in adult life. Although accepting a varying perspective, and open to new discoveries, Virgo may not be so accepting of other people's personalities and foibles. When they internalize parental attitudes they can be extremely self-demanding and self-critical, leaving themselves little rest and promoting a nervous constitution.
Because many Virgos present a mild and agreeable exterior, they may be mistaken for an easy touch. However, no one who crosses them will ever forget the steel response. Both men, and women born in this sign can be among the most physically attractive in the whole zodiac; if not naturally blessed with good looks, they usually succeed in making themselves appealing.September 10th is
The Day of Private Goals
Those born on September 10 are taken up with tradition and origins, and defining where they themselves fit into tradition in a practical and noteworthy manner. These are people who most often lead a happy, perhaps quiet life yet nurse private ambitions. Excelling in what they do, but without drawing undue attention to themselves, is their style. Though highly dedicated, they are rarely too busy with their career to find time for their family and indeed striking a balance between work and home responsibilities can be a major preoccupation.
Those born on September 10 are fortunate if they discover an activity in youth which becomes their passion in adulthood. more often they find themselves cast adrift on the sea of life and only later choose a profession, find soulmates, and build a family structure which suits their character, needs and wants. Very practical people, who rarely undercut themselves, they appear to the world as a highly balanced and desirably stable individuals. They seem to have it all, and indeed can offer great peace and security to any prospective partner.
Yet they lead a secret inner life, and their passions are not so controlled. These are not people who calculate every move, but are rather periodically swept away by events around them. Drawn to unusual and interesting people, they require a great deal of stimulation to keep them feeling alive. September 10 people, although often of a conservative nature, gravitate to the strangest friends, partners and mates who reflect their own desire to be different and unusual. Occasionally a September 10 person will try to lead a highly unusual life also, but can suffer from psychological stress if they attempt to do so.
And handling stress is not so easy for September 10 people. When they are thrust into demanding positions in which they are being scrutinized, they can experience anxiety. Often they prefer to be the mate of a more unusual personality who is the focus of attention, while they work behind the scenes to ensure success. Sooner or later, however, they may realize that they must concentrate on their own life, and be courageous enough not only to stand on their own two feet but define themselves-not their company, family or mate-as the most important entity.
September 10 people must not allow themselves to stagnate; they should reach within and find more interesting areas in which they can develop and grow. If those born on this day can find happiness in their inner life, they will be better equipped to handle disturbances around them. Achieving worldly success is rarely in itself the answer for September 10 people-they are usually searching for something more elusive and profound.
Those born on the 10th of the month are ruled by the number 1 (1+0=1) and by the Sun. Those ruled by the number 1 generally like to be the first in what they do. The Sun tends to grant the benefits of a warm and well-developed ego, and a distinctly human, positive orientation to life. Because of Mercury's influence as Virgo's ruler, communication and swift mental activity is enhanced in September 10 people. Those ruled by the number 1 have individual and clearly define views on most subjects; September 10 people can in fact be extremely stubborn as well as critical and suspicious.
The 10th card of the Major Arcana is The Wheel of Fortune, which signifies both positive and negative reversals of fortune and suggests that there is nothing permanent except change. Those ruled by the number 1 and 10 focus on seizing opportunities; indeed, acting at just the right moment is the key to their success. Again, The Wheel of Fortune teaches that no success is permanent, nor any failure.
Usually, those born on September 10 carry a sense of good health about them, but they may nonetheless hide secret worries and ailments. Most difficulties are of a nervous or psychological nature, or have a strong psychological basis. As long as September 10 people have lived their lives together, even under strain, they will tend to be in good health. But if things begin to fall apart and fail to work, all sorts of previously hidden difficulties can suddenly emerge. A disciplined exercise program may be hard for them to maintain, but they should nonetheless make an attempt. They should also take time for organized, well balanced meals and see that their sleep is undisturbed.
Pay more attention to yourself-not only to your needs but to your wants. Follow your own path and develop the talents you have been given to the fullest. Don't judge others too harshly, nor yourself. Expand your horizons to include wider possibilities for the future.
