You live life almost entirely on a practical, material level, and you have little use for the abstractions of storybook romance. Your idea of love is synonymous with duty. Sugary romance is not quite your style.

Self-discipline is part of your nature. Once you make up your mind, you move on, regardless of what will result. You place great emphasis on intellect and train your children rigidly in matters of ethics, courtesy and good citizenship.

You are uncomfortable with physical expressions of love. You need to become more generous with those hugs and kisses. There's also a tendency to be too critical, to expect too much too soon and to be too strict

You are bashful, but you have all the necessary wiles and weapons, including a determination to pursue happiness. You seek romance, and commitment is an integral part of it. If you are in love, you go to any lengths to make sure it works. On the flip side, if you are in an unhappy relationship, you will snap the cords with ease.

You can be deadly practical and divinely romantic at the same time. You are a perfectionist, but not perfect yourself. You have your negative traits. You can be sickeningly prompt, and think that you are the best critic in the world.

A romance with you is a roller-coaster ride of excellent taste, since you love things being in order. You also wait and watch where romance is concerned, perhaps because being in love for you means falling hard. Being a perfectionist, you also aim to please, and your beloved is one happy individual.

Your easygoing nature makes you a reliable and steady sort. Your devotion also signals that you will work very hard to take any relationship far. You strive for the perfect relationship. You feel truly rewarded when the one you love is willing to give you time in the relationship. You are independent, and may seem cold on the outside, but your potent charms will merit a truly deserving partner.

1. Clean the inside of your nails, and tuck every hair in place. The Virgo is a perfectionist, and loves cleanliness.
2. The Virgo attention to detail will rattle you, but be patient. You will be rewarded with quality love in return.
3. Try and keep pace with the Virgo wit and intellectual abilities. The Virgo is not patient with immaturity.
4. Show appreciation in small doses. The Virgo will shrug it away, and pretend that he does not need it. Persist, and you will be rewarded.
5. Wait for the magic to happen. The Virgo trust is not for all and sundry. Once you have earned, you can be assured of security and undivided attention.

1. Don't sit back while your Virgo partner is slaving away. The Virgo appreciates perfection, and believes everyone has to be self-reliant.
2. If you expect the Virgo to be at your beck and call at all times, forget it. Virgo is the sign of service, always eager to lend a helping hand.
3. Don't underestimate the passion of a Virgo. Perfectionism carries over into every aspect of their life, including relationships.
4. Go easy on the criticism. The Virgo likes to think he is perfect, and would rectify his own mistakes. Point out an error, and watch them sulk.
5. Don't get lax with your cooking. The Virgo likes good, healthy food, and every morsel goes under the microscope.

Need a quick fix? Then you would probably be called. You simply love to analyse and bat things around and are bound to come up with some answers. You are a talker and a helper and like to facilitate solutions as a service to others. Even so, you crave independence and a space of your own, so not all your cards will be laid on the table -- some things are best kept private.

You are sensible and self-reliant and manage money very well. As befits your cautious and reflective nature, you like to size up a situation first, making you a good business partner. You are also a chronic worrier, so you will definitely mind the store! The accounts will always be in order, and you can really stretch a buck, being as measured as you are. Having money in the bank is a bonus for you since it will eliminate one more worry! You believe that "some of the best things in life are for free" and really mean it! You are rarely a big spender, hate to borrow, and hate to lend money even more. About the only time you will lend is to a family member in need or in a case where you are sure you will get it back. The fun for you isn't in spending money, it's in cultivating less tangible assets such as knowledge and friendship. Now that's golden!
