Virgo is the 6th sign of the zodiac, and its ruling planet is Mercury.

Like Gemini, also ruled by Mercury, the Virgo personality tends to be very cerebral and intelligent, with a tendency to be a perfectionist. As a result, those born in Virgo can be very self-critical, and sometimes a bit introverted. As such, Virgos are very independent but crave love and affection even if they may be shy about showing it.  They have a great work ethic and determination to succeed without the need to be in the limelight. You’ll never find Virgo making flashy displays of wealth either. Slow and steady wins the race for Virgo.
