Ants keep their home tidy. Usually, this person is busy: they must bring comfort, cleanliness, and order to their world, which is quite a chore even if they limit themselves to their immediate surroundings. At a low level, this position of the 1st house can manifest as obsessive nitpicking and sloppiness, especially if the 1st house is afflicted. Then the person is dissatisfied with themselves and dissatisfied if anything is not quite right, so they rarely experience genuine joy. Yet no one else can see and appreciate the beauty and perfection of small details as they do, whether in the external material world or their inner structure. They love refining their skills to absolute brilliance. This position is favorable for any work requiring curiosity and meticulousness but poor in situations demanding quick general assessments from incomplete data: synthesis is difficult for the person, and they struggle with imagination in perception and self-expression. They understand and express things too literally (and thus incorrectly), analyzing their feelings to death before they even emerge. It is much easier for Virgo to say, “I feel affection for you,” than “I love you,” and there is much to learn from partners and enemies, the liars of Pisces.

It gives a changeable, subtly shifting character. There is a strong rationalism, a slow, step-by-step transformation of one’s personality. A stable, firm attitude toward all undertakings, yet with many changes and adjustments. A tendency toward an orderly, rational approach to others. A propensity for sharp and harsh criticism, while constructively accepting criticism directed at oneself. Heightened attention to details and secondary matters. Practicality, clear and sober perception of reality, and a certain fussiness are characteristic. Strong analytical ability, aptitude for comparison. Opponents are sensitive, secretive individuals with developed intuition, skilled at exploiting weaknesses and probing to the core. One must 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 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 exerts greater influence than the signs in which the Sun or Moon are located at birth. Knowing the rising sign offers much preliminary insight into the character of the entire horoscope and the overall makeup of the 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 possess practical abilities—such as accounting or crafting things by hand. They have a slender body and a calm disposition. They dress well and are inclined toward an unconditional purity of character. They are sensitive, fortunate in commercial endeavors, and interested in various forms of knowledge. They enjoy conversation, are very curious, and have an impulsive, emotional streak. They often engage in the arts, music, playing instruments, drawing, creating, constructing, and work requiring attention to detail. If this sign is rising, it indicates a thoughtful, cautious, and punctual person, restless or nervous. These people are thrifty, methodical, and capable of performing arduous labor. 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 they greatly love nature. They suffer from anxiety within their family and from hostile relations with relatives. They are influential people, capable of fair judgment but prone to being swayed by mood. Their lives are usually long, ending peacefully and calmly. Externally, they are typically of average height, with long arms and legs, an attractive face, dark hair or brunette, and large cheeks. The sign of Virgo serves as a mark 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 routine.

VIRGO – a person who never steps forward unnecessarily or takes reckless risks; they always know their place. A sense of duty + industriousness and pedantry. Perception of the world is highly critical, through a multitude of small details. A unique analytical ability and a lack of synthesis. Obsessiveness 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. Inclined to record every detail and analyze it precisely. Success is based on this. The main goal is perfection. Everything done must be flawless. Quality is valued more than quantity. Modesty, diligence, caution, observation, thoroughness, correctness, simple and orderly living conditions, practical resolution of situations. Calculation, pedantry, formality, prejudice. Often exploitation of others. Modest, unassuming, often very quiet, shy. You are the kind of person who prefers to occupy a subordinate position, to serve as an assistant, in a supportive role rather than as a leader. You are quite modest in your self-assessment, demand perfection from yourself in everything, 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 cannot meet your strict standards. You notice details well and become upset if something is not done quite right — usually in minor matters that others consider insignificant or self-evident. It is difficult to please you, and this can affect your relationships with others. You are also subtly sensitive and very discerning and pedantic in your choices of 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 is not sufficiently safe, you are 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 conduct, and correct behavior are important. What others notice first is your clear, cold, objective, and unemotional demeanor, and although you are capable of help and care, your compassion is not so openly expressed that others immediately feel it. You may come across as a dry and businesslike person, 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 often content with an ordinary, unremarkable position in life.
