Virgo might be one of the most misunderstood signs of the zodiac. First, there’s the name: Virgo, meaning "the virgin." Born between August 23 and September 22, Virgos are earth signs, meaning they are super sensual and prioritize physical pleasure—they are just a little picky about their partners and want to make sure they’re worth their time.

Similarly, Virgos are sometimes stereotyped as being modest, but really, they’re just a little guarded. Sure, they might seem shy or reserved at first, but once they get to know you, they’ll let their dark, sarcastic humor fly. They’re ruled by Mercury, so Virgos have *excellent* communication skills. And they make for incredibly loyal, generous friends. As mutable signs, they know how to see all sides of every situation…and choose the right move.

Virgos are probably best known as super-smart, super-analytical perfectionists—they won’t settle for anything but the best. And even then, they’ll try to improve it. These traits are why so many Virgos are superstars in their chosen career paths (hi, Beyoncé), but as many Virgos will tell you, their perfectionistic tendencies also mean they often overwork themselves and need to carve out time to relax in their (color-coded) schedule. Give your Virgo bestie a sheet mask and tell them to use their PTO, because they need a vacation!

Trying to understand a Virgo or just seeking the perfect caption for your (or your Virgo BFF’s) b-day Instagram post? These quotes might help.
