Ascendant in Virgo

Rising in Virgo, the approach is neat, observant and understated, often with a slight reserve on first meeting. Mercury rules the chart, so its condition shapes how the manner comes across. These people tend to notice what is out of place before they notice the room, and helpfulness is the usual opening move. Self-consciousness is common, and criticism is felt keenly even when offered kindly. An accurate birth time is required.
