Natives born under the mutable earth sign of Virgo the virgin, ruled by the planet Mercury, are perfectionists who like to analyse and pay attention to the details of everything.
They also have a desire for purity which is often reflected in their neatness, cleanliness, diet and exercise regime.
Tasks are approached with practical precision and there is a natural ability to serve others, however, they must be careful not to become overly fussy or too critical as this could cause them nervous worry, often about their health, affecting their intestinal processes.
Since Virgo individuals tend to be practical, intelligent and detailed in their work, occupations such as dietician, accountant, literary critic, naturopath or health inspector are a few that could suit them well.
