The planet Mercury, governing our intellect and communicative faculties, rules Virgo, where tradition also places the house of his exaltation, so Virgins have a truly intellectual, critical and analytical approach to life.
Communication is important and they love books, magazines, and writing.
Virgos adapt to change instinctively and are responsive to the needs of others. They usually adapt to different people and changing circumstances by finding ways to make themselves useful. They are known to be meticulous and in its best form they are efficient and perform duties very well. Their world is subject to microscopic analysis and they become engrossed in trivialities leading to worry and ill-health. Virgo bodies reject artificial medicines and foods.
