Smart, sophisticated, and kind, Virgo gets the job done without complaining. Virgos are amazing friends, always there to lend a hand and also lend advice. Practical Virgos are incredibly adept at big picture thinking, and planning out their life, their vacations, and what they’re going to do today isn’t a drag it makes them feel in control and secure.

Virgo has a rich inner life, and can sometimes seem shy at first meeting. A Virgo won’t spill secrets right away, and it’s important to earn a Virgo’s trust. But once you do, that Virgin will be a friend for life. And if you think that you’re dating a shy Virgo, trust that those walls will fall down in the bedroom. One of the most passionate signs, Virgos specialize at connecting to their physicality, and this earth sign loves and celebrates physical connection with their partner.

Virgos expect perfection from themselves, and they may project those high standards on the other people in their life. A Virgo hates when someone lets him or her down, even if it’s minor and unavoidable, like a last-minute cancellation. Virgo signs never want to disappoint the people in their lives, so they may spread themselves too thin put themselves last.

Virgo signs love and are inspired by beauty. They consider what they wear and how they decorate their house to be an extension of their personality. They thrive when everything in their life looks Pinterest-perfect, and although their friends make fun of their penchant for organizing, it truly is the anchor that makes Virgo’s life run smoothly.

Intelligent and a lifelong learner, Virgo loves trying new things, reading books, and learning about the world. They’ll happily sign up for an adult-education course, and they consider an afternoon in bed with a book pretty much ideal. A Virgo prefers an evening with good friends to a huge party, and values downtime just as much as socializing. This sign doesn’t need to fill their calendar to be content.

Virgo’s Love Style

Virgo loves hard, and is always in pursuit of star love the kind where souls, minds, and bodies seamlessly merge. That’s why this sign sometimes gets the (unfair) reputation of being too picky.

Virgo Friendship Style

Don’t be offended if Virgo turns down the first invite you extend although Virgos are kind and friendly to everyone, they may have some walls around them, built to protect themselves and the circle of friends they already have.

Virgo Career, Money & Success Traits

Virgo’s greatest career strength: Intelligence. Fiercely intelligent, Virgos are a manager’s dream because they can both see the big picture and focus in on the tiny details to make a project work.

“My best can always be better.”

Virgo’s Greatest Gifts

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 Greatest Challenges

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’s Secret Weapon

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. Virgins 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.

I found an interesting article about redheads the other day and decided to bring some of their “facts” here to share.  You can find the article and all their “facts” at the link below.  (Several of their facts discuss how redheads are equated with witchcraft throughout the years.)

Approximately 1-2% of humans, or about two in 100 people in the world, have red hair.

The ancient Greeks believed that redheads would turn into vampires after they died.

Several myths about red hair have become culturally common, such as “the red-headed step child,” “the insatiable red hair girl-next door,” and “the wimpy redhead.”

In some cultures, such as certain parts of Africa, redheads are still believed to be witches.

Otherwise dark hair may turn red or blond in cases of severe protein deficiency due to starvation.

Red hair doesn’t gray as much as other hair colors. Red hair initially tends to turn blond and then white.

According to George Chapman’s 1613 play Bussy D’Ambois, the perfect poison must include the fat of a red-haired man.

Because natural red hair holds its pigment more than other colors, it is harder to dye.

Redheaded women report bruising more easily than other women of different hair colors.

People with red hair have twice the risk of developing Parkinson’s Disease.

Because redheads have thicker hair than people with other hair colors, they have fewer strands of hair. For example, while blondes have on average 140,000 hairs, redheads have approximately 90,000.

According to Hamburg sex researcher Dr. Werner Habermehl, women with red hair have more sex than women with other hair colors. He also postulates that women in a relationship who dye their hair red may be signaling that they are unhappy and looking for something better.

According to legend, the first redhead was Prince Idon of Mu who, upon discovering Atlantis, was imprinted with the island’s stunning red sunset and leaves in the form of red hair and freckles so future generations would be reminded of Atlantis’ first sunset.

Red hair is a recessive trait, which means that a child must inherit one red hair gene from each parent. Recessive traits often come in pairs, and redheads are more likely than other people to be left-handed.

Some scholars speculate that because Adam was from “red earth” and the Hebrew word for “red” is adom, that Adam was a redhead.

Scholars note that redheads have influenced history out of proportion to their numbers. Famous redheads include Roman emperor Nero, Helen of Troy, Cleopatra, the ancient god of love Aphrodite, Queen Elizabeth I, Napoleon Bonaparte, Oliver Cromwell, Emily Dickinson, Antonio Vivaldi, Thomas Jefferson, Vincent Van Gogh, Mark Twain, James Joyce, Winston Churchill, Malcolm X, Galileo, and King David.

The rarest hair color in humans is red.

In ancient Rome, redheaded slaves were often more expensive than those with other hair color.

Satan is often portrayed as a redhead most likely because red was viewed as the color of sexual desire and moral degradation.

In 1995, Professor Jonathan Reese discovered that mutations of the gene MC1R on chromosome 16 were responsible for red hair (known as the “ginger gene”). The gene mutation responsible for red hair in humans probably arose 20,000-40,000 years ago.

Some scholars postulate that the same gene mutation that causes red hair also affects the way redheads respond to pain and anesthetics.

Mark Twain once quipped that “while the rest of the human race are descended from monkeys, redheads derive from cats.”

In Egypt, redheads were buried alive as sacrifices to the god Osiris.

Scientists now report that Neanderthals had a version of the gene that causes red hair but not the same variant as in modern humans, suggesting they did not interbreed with each other.

There is a common perception that redheads could become extinct in 100 years. However, a National Geographic article states that while redheads may decline, barring a catastrophe, the gene for red hair will not likely become extinct.

While Scotland has the highest proportion (13%) of redheads (followed by Ireland with 10%), the United States has the largest population of redheads in the world, with between 6-18 million redheads, or 2-6% of the population.

The gene that causes red hair initially had the benefit of increasing the body’s ability to make vitamin D, which was important for people living farther away from the equator. However, today’s redheads are more likely to develop skin cancer and premature wrinkles.

“Gingerphobia” is a fear of redheads. “Gingerism” is the bullying or prejudice of redheads.

In Michelangelo’s Temptation and in St. Paul’s Cathedral, Eve is initially depicted as having brown and blond hair, respectively. But in both artistic renditions, after she eats the apple and she and Adam are driven from the Garden of Eden, Eve is depicted as a redhead.

Ruadh gu brath is Gaelic for “Red heads forever!”

Some common surnames in the British Isles reflect the frequency of red hair there, including Flanary (“red eyebrow”), Reid (“red-haired, ruddy complexion”), and Flynn (“bright red”).
