Geat leaping lilies! You're downright gorgeous this month, and you're bringing in the bucks to boot. No one else can get things done the way you do, and superiors take notice. But what's the pain in your heart? Could be love.

You are usually an observant, shrewd, critically inclined, judicious, patient, practical supporter of the status quo, and you tend toward conservatism in all departments of life. On the surface you are emotionally cold, and sometimes this goes deeper, for your habit of suppressing your natural kindness may in the end cause it to atrophy, with the result that you shrink from committing yourself to friendship, make few relationships, and those you do make you are careful to keep superficial.

Both sexes have considerable charm and dignity, which make some male Virgos appear effeminate when they are not. In marriage the you can be genuinely affectionate, making good spouses and parents, but your love-making is a perfection of technique rather than the expression of desire, and you must be careful not to mate with a partner whose sex drive requires a passion you cannot match.

Virgoans work better as subordinates than leaders. Responsibility irks them and they often lack the breadth of strategic vision that a leader needs. Their minds are such that they need the stimulus of practical problems to be solved rather than the mere routine or working to set specifications that need no thought. Suitable careers include surveying, bookkeepers, accountants, secretaries, doctors, nurses, teachers, critics.
