Virgo season is here, which means it’s time to celebrate our favorite perfectionists.
Don’t take their silent and speculative nature for granted, Virgos are merely checking out the scene before they decide if they’d like to engage. No matter what it is, once they put their mind to something, they’re going to master the task, and then some. Even when it comes to seeking revenge if you cross them.
Being the greatest to ever do it comes easy for Virgo. Better yet, it’s the bare minimum. Just look at the examples in Beyoncé, Michael Jackson, Kobe Bryant or Misty Copeland. However, their drive to be exceptional can oftentimes trigger an internalized pressure that can leave them feeling stressed. That doesn’t stop their ambition for excellence them though.
Their know-it-all personalities can sometimes deter others, but their humbleness and practicality make Virgos some of the most enjoyable and reliable people. Plus, they double as an expert gossip partner and the best person to go to for sound advice.
The Virgo season is recognized from Aug. 23 through Sept. 22. The sign is represented by a maiden carrying carrying a shaft of wheat. Virgo is a mutable sign and is part of the Earth sign group (Capricorn, Taurus and Virgo). Here are some of Hollywood’s most famous Virgos.
