Venus in Virgo

Virgo is mutable earth ruled by Mercury, and Venus is in its fall here: the sign measures where Venus would rather simply enjoy. Affection is shown through useful acts and quiet attention to what someone needs, not through declarations. These people are discerning, faithful and modest about what they want for themselves. The cost is criticism, aimed at a partner and more often inward, and a standard so exact that few candidates and few pleasures ever fully qualify for it.
