The Virgo is the most helpful friend you'll ever have. They will help you work out at the gym every day, they will help you remember not to gorge on junk food, they will remind you to brush your teeth at least twice a day, and they are there to assist in the planning of the minute details of your life. All this helpfulness might drive you batty. At the same time, if you ever actually do need something, Virgo will be right there for you. They give excellent advice and are fast on their feet in crisis situations. Their practical outlook will help you through the rough times, so long as you don't embarrass them with any big displays of emotion. If you can handle your Virgo buddy jumping up to do the dishes as soon as dinner is over, you will have a loyal and intelligent friend for a very long time.
Virgo's nature makes for a reliable and steady sort who relishes the opportunity to be helpful to their partners. Those born under Virgo tends to strive for the perfect relationship. A relationship with a strong yet sensitive partner is one which guarantees success. The independent and never clingy Virgo may seem ultra-cool on the outside, but inside smolders a red-hot ravisher waiting to release potent charms on a deserving partner. A natural state for Virgo in love is to analyze the situation while exploring it deeply. This will show off the Virgo as steady, solid and far from a flirt. It is one lover at a time for the loyal Virgo, who reveres a relationship blessed with total honesty lest jealousy and feelings of inadequacy come to the fore. Love comes to Virgo slowly, carefully and sweetly, and the desire to learn all about their lover makes those born under this sign ideal lovers themselves. The ideal Virgo soul mate is well-dressed, empathetic and dying to show their Virgo a good time.
As a rule, Virgo children are conscientious students. They enjoy the routine and discipline of school. They do, however, like to know "why" a certain procedure is required. If the answer is acceptable, they willingly comply. Out of school, they enjoy working with their hands. The girls have a flair for sewing, and the boys enjoy tinkering with bicycles, wood products, and construction kits. They must be encouraged, however, not to be too fussy. This child needs to feel appreciated as there is sometimes a sense of not measuring up, since Virgo children expect themselves and everyone else to be perfect. These children will have strong preferences, but these can be changed through reasoning.
A Virgo can be a difficult parent if they allow their love of neatness and tidiness to become all important. They must, also, watch their tendency to be over-critical. However, they are extremely helpful when it comes to assisting their children with homework or handiwork of any type. Because of their inability to express their affections easily, they must actively cultivate and project warmth to their children.
