is better to seek out someone other than the person with lots of Virgo
in their chart. Virgo wants to fix the problem, not indulge it, and Virgo
usually has a clear idea of how to fix things and is inclined to become
impatient and irritated if there is a lot of discussion and analysis
required before the actual improvements can be made. (Courtesy of

supplements to the generic delineations of general reports. The following sun-sign
interpretation has been drawn from a program written by Gloria Star (originally part of
her book Astrology: Woman to Woman) that generates a specialized report for women:
With your Sun in Virgo your ego is driven by a powerful need to do
things well. Although you may not ask for recognition, and may act
uncomfortable when it comes your way, you crave the confirmation it
brings. Yes, you are a perfectionist and you definitely have opinions. Yet
you can be flexible when necessary. Just be sure that flexibility doesn’t
turn you into a doormat when you run into those people who are the
controllers. It’s okay to have things your way some of the time, too.
You may be glad you’re a woman. In fact, some of the more brutish
aspects of manhood may hold absolutely no enticement to you whatso-
ever. As a Virgo woman, you’re not interested in expressing your mas-
culine side as a man might—you would prefer to own your identity and
express it just the way you want it! Face it, you can be intimidated by
men, and may have given away some of your power because you don’t
really feel very comfortable tooting your own horn. There is a differ-
ence between appreciating yourself and standing up for the recognition
and advancement you deserve, and letting someone take advantage of
you. Unfortunately, you may not really want to do battle and may pre-
fer to just do your job or attend to your duties and let the blowhards
have their fun. You may also get in your own way by being too critical
of yourself, or feeling that you are not really “perfect enough,” to have
all the glory. It’s possible that you felt a strong sense of judgment or
criticism from your father, and learned to be Little Miss Perfect in order
to gain his approval. But that was when you were a little girl. By apply-
ing your powerful sense of discrimination and critical judgment to
determine if you’re getting what you need from your relationship, your
job or your family, you can make an honest assessment of your life situ-
ation. Then, you can forge a plan of action which will assure that you
can achieve a better pathway for your personal fulfillment.
The influence of your Virgo Sun stimulates a need to follow a path
which will allow you to utilize your analytical abilities and powers of
discernment. Raising a family may be one of your greatest joys, and you
can be a supportive and understanding mother. In your choice of career
you may be an exceptional educator and will enjoy a career whichTHEASTROLOGYBOOK [733]
