So, what makes Virgo's personality not like the earth sign? Next, let's analyze it carefully.
1, changing constellation: the boundary and offset of element attributes.
Although Virgo also belongs to the earth sign, it is a changing sign in the earth sign. Compared with Capricorn in the standard constellation and Taurus in the fixed constellation, Virgo in the changing constellation is not so typical in the characteristics of soil elements, and even they tend to shift and transform to other elements.
In fact, this bias not only appears in Virgo, but also in other constellations with elemental attributes. For example, Sagittarius in the fire sign is also a changing sign, so the fire sign characteristics of Sagittarius are not so obvious. On the contrary, they are easily mistaken for wind phenomena. Similarly, Pisces in the water sign and Gemini in the wind sign have other elements in their bodies. These four changing constellations (Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius and Pisces) are all in a changing state. They are "boundary" constellations of different elements, so it is easy to gradually transform into another element.
In fact, the classification of elements in the constellation is not fixed. The four basic elements of earth, water, wind and fire also have the characteristics of evolution to other elements. This is consistent with our traditional China theory that the five elements (Jin Mu, fire, water and earth) can coexist and transform with each other.
Therefore, it is not surprising that Virgo, as a changing constellation in the earth sign, has different characteristics from its original element-"earth" and has the characteristics of other elements.
2. Wall soil: the most changeable soil element.
So, what kind of "earth" is Virgo? What other elements will be mixed in their personality?
Personally, I think Virgo should be a combination of earth sign and water sign, and the ratio of the two is about 7:3. Why?
First, let's look at two other earth element constellations. Capricorn is the earth element of the standard constellation. They are "rock and soil", that is, the most basic and primitive form of "soil" on the earth, which has not been developed by human beings. Taurus is "pastoral soil", a form of "soil" developed by human beings, that is, cultivated land, which has been transformed by human beings; Then, Virgo, they are obviously another form of "earth" that human beings are developing and utilizing, that is, the earth used to build houses and castles, that is, "wall soil".
Secondly, the "wall soil" needs to be mixed with water. In modern society, cement concrete is used to build buildings. In ancient times, when building houses and city walls, water and mud were also needed to solidify and bond brick soil. Of course, it involves the "water" factor.
Third, Virgo and water sign are very similar. For example, they are easily influenced by emotions, especially the "cleanliness" mentality, and they are easy to express their dissatisfaction and complaints, that is, "broken thoughts." This is actually because in their personality, but also into the "water" factor.
Finally, the most typical combination of soil and water is "mud", which is as solid as rock after solidification and can be used as city walls and houses, but as thick as liquid when it becomes thin. Virgo's personality is also a bit sticky like mud, which is reflected in his nagging and always repeating the same words. This is the characteristic of mud.
It can be seen that Virgo's "soil" is artificial soil, that is, wall soil. This kind of soil is artificially bonded together, which can shape buildings with different shapes such as houses and city walls. However, this "soil" combined with water is easy to be changed or destroyed. After being destroyed, they returned to the most primitive "earth" state. Therefore, Virgo's "earth" element is not stable and changeable.
3. Mercury: An unstable planet.
In addition to the influence of water, Virgo's character is also influenced by their ruler Mercury. Mercury is the ruler of Virgo and Gemini. It is a planet that symbolizes rapid communication, but at the same time, it is also a less peaceful planet.
Mercury is a neutral planet, which is easily influenced by other planets. For example, people with obvious mercury characteristics in their personality can easily change their positions and become better and worse with people they associate with. Therefore, we should pay special attention to the education and environment of Mercury people's children and friends, because they are very malleable and easy to be "black near the ink" and black near the ink.
Influenced by Mercury, Gemini and Virgo have the advantages of quick reaction and clever expression. Are extremely clever constellations in 12. However, the changes and uneasiness of Mercury have also brought fatal shortcomings to these two constellations: it is too easy to change and shake, and it is too easy to be influenced by the external environment.
Compared with Capricorn and Taurus, Virgo is particularly unstable. Virgo is very thoughtful. If you think too much, you will blurt it out, and eventually it will become a lot of words, even a lot of chatter. All this is due to the promotion and influence of Virgo's guardian planet Mercury. In fact, as long as Virgo doesn't think too much and thinks too fast, maybe this shortcoming can be overcome. Unfortunately, it's hard for Virgo not to think too much.
It can be seen that Virgo is difficult to settle down because mercury changes rapidly. Virgos tend to think too much and worry too much, and this kind of anxious personality will be reflected in their language.
4. Perfectionism: I can't tolerate anything unclean.
What kind of basic values a person has will determine what kind of words and deeds he will have
For example, Capricorn and Taurus, both earth signs, have values of order and stability, and they are mainly quiet, so they don't talk much and don't have too many criticisms and complaints about the outside world. Their concerns are all within themselves, not outside.
Virgo, on the other hand, takes perfection as its basic value. Perfectionists are a group of people who like to control and have a strong desire to control. Perfectionists are people with strong personalities. They simply can't tolerate things they don't like, especially those "unclean" things. Virgo's cleanliness is still quite obvious. If they see something they don't like, no matter who vomits on the ground or whose work efficiency is slow, they can't help but scold it. At this time, the calm and steady image of the earth has been completely suppressed by their perfectionist character.
As for nagging and gossip, it is actually a special performance of Virgo to the outside world.
Nagging is afraid that the other party can't understand their true thoughts, and that the other party will deviate from their expectations after implementation. So Virgo needs to explain all the details clearly. However, in the eyes of Capricorn or Taurus, in fact, as long as you are good at yourself, why bother to care about other people's affairs. This is the concept difference between Virgo and these two constellations, and it is also an important reason for their personality differences.
What about Twitter? Behind this phenomenon, Virgo is actually a catharsis, because she can't get positive feedback from the outside world. Virgo expresses all kinds of thoughts accumulated in her heart through this way of talking to herself. However, if they are Capricorn or Taurus, they will only shut themselves up after they can't get positive feedback from the outside world, and even refuse to admit that others disagree with them. The most typical example is that when faced with other people's criticism, Virgo's reaction must be to refute and tell the truth clearly. They will never allow other people's negative feedback to break into their "castle"; Capricorn's reaction is silence, as if you didn't hear it at all. Criticize whatever you like, which has nothing to do with me. Taurus is just the opposite. They are not contradictory in words, but they do the opposite in action. They swear their attitudes and positions directly with actions rather than words.
Virgo is unlikely to be a man of few words. This is not the style of their ruler, Mercury (on the contrary, Mercury's expression is language), nor is it their way of feedback and control over the imperfect world outside (Virgo chooses to fight back and suppress each other instead of silence in the face of external imperfections and negative feedback from others).
Conclusion:
Virgo is a changing earth sign, which is at a critical point. So they have both the reality of the earth sign and the sensitivity of the water sign.
The ruler of Virgo is Mercury. They will not only react quickly to the outside world, but also use language to counter the negative feedback of others or make the outside world obey their own perfectionist ideas. Therefore, Virgo will not adopt the typical earth-like silent constellation style, but try to express his views in words, thus showing the characteristics of nagging, picky, criticism and gossip.
