THE SIGNS #10 VIRGO

What’s up, bitches - it’s been a minute. Let’s break this radio silence and talk about sweet, repressed baby Virgo. Another top contender on our “12 Most Hated Signs” list. Now, before all you Virgos roll your eyes so far back into your heads they’re gone for good, let’s set the record straight.

First: what do we actually know about Virgo? Criticism is a lame answer, bitches. Let’s flesh it out.

Yes - Virgo can come off as cold-hearted, but it’s not because these bitches are actually frozen. Virgo is one of the most feeling-filledsignsin this biz. We all get confused thinking Virgo is an emotionless criticism machine because we forget that having feelings and expressing feelings are two very, very different things.

But before we take it any further, think about this: from Aries to Virgo, we’re dealing with ourselves. From Libra to Pisces, we’re dealing with others. Virgo is the very last self-focused baby in all the land before Libra steps on the scene, takes over, and starts forcing everyone to deal with everyone else. So Virgo feelsthesignificance of this amazing change that’s coming with Libra, but it has no fucking tools or framework to actually organize and express these overwhelming feelings of connection and closeness and togetherness because we’re still notactuallyto Libra yet. Fuck.

So how does Virgo even begin to cope with these feelings it doesn’t actually know how cope with? By getting it’s shit together.Virgo is the character builder of the Zodiac. Virgo thinks to itself “well, there’s no fucking way I’m ready to deal with all the shit I’m feeling, so let me at least improve myself so that when I finally step onto the Libra scene, I’m the best version of myself that I can be.” Virgo comes after Leo for a reason, people. Leo is out there just expressing for expression’s sake - Virgo is the first bitch to come along and say, “yeah, you’re on fire, that’s pretty cool, but why are you lighting yourself on fire? What do you want people to take away from that shit? What is the fucking point?” So, Virgo uses its powers of analysis,observation, and yes, even criticism, to clean up Leo’s act and get us ready to share ourselves with others (Libra). And Virgo won’t stand for some half-assed shit - if it’s gonna share, it’s gonna be good.

At its highest level, Virgo is self-improvement. Virgo genuinely wants us to be at our best, because Virgo (in their deeply-hidden-away way) recognizes that relationships are a responsibility, and we need to have our fucking shit together before we get out there and interact, or we are going to (1) hurt other people and (2) look like a gross disaster while we’re doing it. Yikes.

Now, that being said, unhealthy Virgo is going to play itself out as (1) being a cold-blooded bitch in the name of “helping you be your best” and (2) paralyzing themselves into a dissatisfied clump of inaction because they can’t decide which move it the best move to make. Virgo - stop it. You’re better than this!! And even though you’ve vaulted your feelings away because they’re too much for you to deal with, you want people to like you and you actually fucking love feeling things. So drop the act, cut yourself a break, and get your fucking life together.

What’s the solution? Well, it’s always chilling with the complementary sign. What Virgo needs to really get its point across and make those dank improvements to selves and societies that it was born to make, is a healthy dose of Pisces’s understanding,compassion and sensitivity. Weknow those big feelings scare you Virgo, but damn. You’re gonna need to learn to let them out (and in) a little bit if you want to connect to other people. Because it’s only through genuinely connecting with others that you’re going to be able to inspire real, lasting change and improvement.

In short: let us love you, Virgo, and take it easy on us. And take it easy on yourself. You’re already good enough.
