- Mercury
Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn. Practical and enduring: building, accumulating, finishing. Earth is solid but reluctant to change.
Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius, Pisces — the four that close a season. These adapt and hand over, supple but easily scattered.
Personality
Virgo sees the detail everyone else skims. You want things right, and you show affection by doing them thoroughly rather than by saying so. You are hard on others and hardest on yourself.
Strengths
- Precise, with few errors
- Very practical problem-solving
- Reliable in the large things and the small
- Helps in concrete ways
Watch out for
- Perfectionism that becomes strain
- Criticises without being asked
- Worries about what has not happened
- Cannot take a compliment
Love
You love through quiet service. Remember your partner needs to hear praise, not only to receive corrections.
Career
Healthcare, audit, editing, data analysis, quality management, research.
Advice
Let one thing a day be merely good enough. The perfection you chase is usually invisible to everyone but you.
