Ants bring order to their home. Usually, this person is occupied: they must bring comfort, cleanliness, and order to their world, and this is quite a hassle, even if they limit themselves to their immediate surroundings. At a low level, this position of the 1st house can give fantastic pedantry and sloppiness, especially when the 1st house is afflicted. Then the person is dissatisfied with themselves and dissatisfied if even the smallest thing is not in order, so they can rarely truly rejoice. However, no one else can see and appreciate the beauty and perfection of small details—both in the external material world and in their inner structure—as well as a Virgo rising. They love to refine their skills to absolute perfection. This position is good for any work requiring curiosity and thoroughness but poor in situations where a quick general assessment is needed from incomplete data: synthesis is difficult for the person, and difficulties arise in perception and self-expression due to a lack of imagination. They understand everything too literally (and thus incorrectly) and express their feelings with such precise analysis that they die before they even appear. It is much easier for a Virgo to say, “I feel love for you” than “I love you,” and there is much to learn from the partners and enemies of Piscean liars.

Gives a changeable, subtly mutable character. There is a strong rationalism, a slow, step-by-step transformation of one’s personality. A stable, firm attitude toward all begun matters, but with many changes and adjustments. A tendency toward an orderly, rational approach to others. Inclination toward sharp and harsh criticism, while constructively accepting criticism directed at themselves. Heightened attention to details and secondary matters. Practicality, clear and sober perception of reality, and a certain fussiness are characteristic. Strong analytical ability, comparison skills. Opponents are sensitive, secretive, with developed intuition, skilled at catching weaknesses and digging to the core. It is necessary to learn irrational perception of reality, develop intuition, and learn to perceive life and relationships as a whole rather than a collection of details. Processing occurs through the development of perception and self-expression.

{The rising sign, or 1st house, is the sector of space (sign) located directly above the eastern part of the horizon at the moment of a person’s birth. The rising sign provides much information about a person’s appearance and behavioral traits. In many respects, the rising sign has a greater influence than the signs where the Sun or Moon were located at the moment of birth. Knowing the rising sign gives much preliminary information about the character of the entire horoscope and the general makeup of a person’s character. Virgo is a sign associated with the earth element, governed by Mercury, and symbolized by the virgin. People born under this sign have practical abilities—such as keeping records or making things with their hands. They have a weak body and a calm character. They dress well and are inclined toward absolute purity in their character. They are vulnerable, and luck accompanies them in commercial activities; they are interested in various types of knowledge. They enjoy conversation, are very curious. There is an impulsive, emotional streak in their character; they often engage in art, music, playing musical instruments, drawing, creating, constructing, as well as work requiring attention to detail. If this sign is rising, it indicates a thoughtful, cautious, and punctual person, restless or nervous. These people are economical, methodical, and capable of performing difficult work. They lack self-confidence and tend to hesitate over any decision unless their heart directly tells them it is right. Their nature is religious, but their mind is analytical. My experience shows that they love nature deeply. They suffer from anxiety within their family and from hostile relations with relatives. These are the most influential people, capable of judging things correctly, but prone to being swayed by mood. Their lives are usually long, and their end is peaceful and calm. Externally, they are typically of average height, with long arms and legs, an attractive face, brunettes or dark-haired with prominent cheeks. The Virgo sign serves as an indicator of a pleasant, sensitive, and creative person, pure, innocent, or naive in character. They can work diligently to earn money but feel better when their freedom of action is not constrained by tedious order.

VIRGO – a person never steps forward unnecessarily, does not push themselves forward, always knows their place. A sense of duty + industriousness and pedantry. Perception of the world is very critical, through countless small details. A unique ability for analysis and a lack of synthesis. Fixation and distrust in matters of health.

Conscientiousness in the surrounding world — order in the family and at work. Principles manifest in practical matters. Ideas are developed and implemented systematically and methodically. You tend to record every little detail and analyze it precisely. Success is built on this foundation. The main goal is perfection. Everything done must be flawless. Quality is valued more than quantity. Modesty, diligence, caution, observance, thoroughness, correctness, simple and orderly living conditions, practical problem-solving. Calculation, pedantry, formality, prejudice. Often, exploitation of others. Modest, unobtrusive, often very quiet, shy. You are the kind of person who prefers to occupy a subordinate position, to serve as an assistant, in a supporting role rather than as a leader. You are quite modest in your self-assessment, demand perfection from yourself, and are extremely self-critical. No matter how well you do something, you always see flaws and how it could be done better. Often, you simply refuse to try doing something because you feel you won’t meet your strict standards. You notice details well and get upset if something isn’t done quite right — usually in minor ways that others consider insignificant or obvious. It’s hard to please you, and this can strain your relationships with others. You are also subtly sensitive and very particular and pedantic in choosing food, clothing, friends, work, etc. Order in your environment is very important to you. You approach tasks very cautiously and only after a realistic assessment of all risks and potential gains. If something isn’t sufficiently safe, you’re unlikely to take it on. You tend to underestimate your own abilities, feel a lack of confidence and trust in life, which restrains your spontaneity. You have a bad habit of worrying about everything. On the other hand, you rarely fall flat on your face, and everything you do, you do very well. Others see you as an independent and quite reserved person. You have a strongly developed sense of propriety. For you, good manners, proper behavior, and politeness are important. Others first notice your clear, cold, objective, and unemotional demeanor, and although you are capable of help and care, your compassion isn’t expressed so openly that others immediately sense it. You may seem dry and businesslike, more conservative than you actually are, though deep down you are different. You are the kind of person from whom others can expect technical advice or an unbiased opinion, but not emotional support. You are very observant, intelligent, have a great desire to learn and improve yourself, but are not particularly ambitious and are often satisfied with an ordinary, unremarkable position in life.
