Virgo, the virgin, rules the sixth house of health. It is an mutable earth sign of negative polarity and is affiliated with the planet Mercury. Virgos are grounded and practical in their earthiness but have the flexibility of their mutable quality to keep them from getting stuck. Still, Virgos can be considered sticky, in that they do enjoy having things a certain way and want it done to the Nth degree. The sixth house is about service as well as health and certainly Virgos are here to serve.

Virgos enjoy logic and love being practical and clever at all projects they undertake. They will fact-find with pleasure, research with delight and are geniuses with detail. They play with words and bandy about ideas with childlike enthusiasm and no task is too complicated for these pedantic questioners. In the workplace they are a great asset and can be relied on to get things done the right way, the first time. Essential oils that assist mental acuity are peppermint, rosemary, helichrysum, basil, black pepper, lemon and verbena. Virgos, when they overdo it on mental stimulation, can feel overwhelmed and fried, so essential oils that soothe an overzealous mind are lavender, marjoram, ylang ylang, angelica, chamomile, melissa and patchouli.

Virgos are noted for their neatness. Although there are such things as sloppy Virgos, they usually are few and far between. The average Virgo loves a tidy home, with immaculately organized drawers, canned food arranged in lines on the shelves, throw pillows thrown “just-so” and closets displaying color delineated clothing all on matching hangers. Reorganizing someone else’s clutter is a Virgo’s dream. They love helping others – they are truly a service oriented zodiac sign – and they love a job well done. Virgos have the tenacity to see a job to completion and usually with very little mishap, because they will have researched every angle of the task and scrutinized any pitfalls long before any possibility of demise. Downfall is not an easy word for the Virgo who relies on precision and logic rather than emotion or ego. Essential oils that can help to reduce the Virgo’s compulsive and over-focused need for organization are sandalwood, vetiver, patchouli, cedarwood, clary sage, lavender, neroli and melissa.

Mercury’s influence over Virgos enables them to be great communicators. They are quick thinkers, analytical, precise and succinct. They can seem to be a bit nit-picky or over-critical, but it is only because they are exacting with themselves and extend that to others. Like Mercury, Virgos are bundles of energy, with a tendency towards being nervous and fidgety. Essential oils that calm the over excitement are bergamot, lavender, chamomile, frankincense, rose, geranium, juniper and basil. This vast energy enables the Virgo to get a lot done. Their brain is on over-drive, striving for a perfectionism that is sometimes masked as discrimination, but always leading to the need to excel, to complete and make neat.

Virgos have great understanding and the desire to help mankind. As stated earlier, they are here to serve, and therefore are often found in the healthcare profession. Ruling the house of health, Virgos are very health conscious and are a storehouse of information about diet and exercise. They take good care of themselves, almost obsessively, leading towards a tendency of hypochondria. Essential oils that support health while lowering obsessive worry are marjoram, cardamom, ginger, lemon, grapefruit, petitgrain, valerian, thyme, hops and galbanum.

Virgos and work go hand-in-hand. In a typical workaholic way, Virgos can feel very uneasy if not delving into a project that is challenging, productive and motivating. Virgos are willing to work for their materialistic gains and since they love fine furnishings and a fully equipped gym, they are willing to work hard. They love playing an integral role in an efficient organization. And with Mercury as a guiding force, any job that includes words and communications is perfect for them. Virgos are found in the publishing field, in journalism, TV and radio, as authors, historians, calligraphers, computer buffs, and actors. Being health conscious they also gravitate towards professions as doctors, nurses, nutritionists, alternative medicine practitioners, dieticians and even dental hygienists. Virgos shine in the boardroom and are hard workers and valuable assets in companies that are geared towards research, money and detail.

So next time you want to reshuffle your pantry, clean out your closets, play scrabble, or go to the gym, find a friendly Virgo to help you. You’ll not only get the job done right and quickly, but also make their day.

The Virgo is a proud, loving individual who is kind to others. However, their kindness shouldn’t be taken as a weakness because they’re strong and honest people. If they don’t like something, they’re not afraid to speak up about what is going on. This person is often a perfectionist.

Because of their kind and loving spirits, the scents they’re associated with are fresh and clean. As a result, some of the best essential oil scents for them to select include eucalyptus, black spruce, sandalwood, rosemary, bergamot, and jasmine essential oils.

This freshness is reminiscent of Forest diffuser, an excellent diffuser choice for Virgos that contains a mix of spruce, fir, and sandalwood essential oils. This combination is great for clearing both the airways and the mind.

Virgo, depicted by the maiden and ruled by Mercury, is gentle, logical, practical and mild-mannered, like the delicate young maiden. They are a nurturing bunch: kind, patient and strong. They are great thinkers and pay close attention to detail. However, sometimes they can be opinionated, judgmental and critical. They are natural worriers who carry a heavy load of nervous intensity, though you would never know from their calm, collected demeanor. With all that nervous tension, they have a hard time relaxing. Virgo’s greatest potential can be reached when nervousness and worry are decreased and relaxation is increased.

Power Essential Oil: Jasmine

Jasmine is known mostly for its supreme aphrodisiac properties, but it is also does wonders for worry, nervousness and fatigue. Like the maiden, it is delicate, but also like Virgo’s ruler, Mercury, it is strong and powerful.

Feminine Blend: Palmarosa, Lavender and Jasmine

Layer upon layer of sweet floral scents, strong and soothing. Decreases worry and nervousness, promotes relaxation. Caution: Not recommended during pregnancy due to jasmine content.

Unisex Blend: Basil, Cypress and Jasmine

A strong, herbal, earthy scent. The basil and jasmine both lend a slightly sweet element that is overruled in a balancing manner by the herbal aspects of the basil and woodsiness of the cypress. Decreases worry and nervousness, promotes relaxation. Caution: Not recommended during pregnancy due to jasmine and basil content.

Virgo (August 22—September 21): to capitalize on Virgo’s penchant for health and healing, try some of the “cleansing” scents like lemon, pine, and tea tree.
