a few of my favorite Virgos

• Amy Poehler
• Michael Jackson
• Beyoncé
• Blake Lively
• And last but certainly not least: my go-to, ride or die, #1 Virgo BFF Diamond

Today is my birthday (and Michael Jackson’s!) and to celebrate I figured I would share some fun Virgo strengths (I cannot sing or dance like MJ so that, unfortunately, is not one) and weaknesses, because I am all about transparency.

Strengths: loyal, reliable, orderly, altruistic

Weaknesses: obsessive, critical, excessive attention to insignificant details, perfectionist

Graceful, harmonious, and obsessed with making things the very best they can be, Virgo is notorious for being type A but that’s only because this sign knows that everything good can be made great and that everything great can be perfect. Smart and intensely curious, Virgos are passionate about uncovering the why, which is why a Virgo’s friends consider him or her their own personal encyclopedia. Known for their grace, Virgos can always talk their way out of sticky situations, and everyone is charmed by their wit and ability to put others at ease. Virgo’s desire to have everything be perfect can manifest in frustration when things don’t live up to those (sometimes unrealistic) expectations. Besides occasionally leading to fights with friends and partners, Virgo’s focus on perfection can cause everything even uploading an Instagram photo to take forever. Learning to go with the flow and accept “good enough” is a constant struggle. Virgo is incredibly hard working. When this sign wants something, they’ll work for it. They’re also good at making the most of things. Friends look to them to help them with a DIY project or redecorate their home. Virgos push the people around them to be their best. If you want a training buddy for a marathon, you know who to call. Bottom line: Virgos work hard, and that work ethic inspires everyone in their life. (Taken from Horoscope.com)
