This blog will explain the differences and similarities between Virgos and Libras.
Do you know any Virgos or Libras? Do you happen to be one yourself? Or do you have a planet right on the cusp of Virgo and Libra that displays both of their qualities in your personality? If so, read on to learn more about how these two signs shape the way you think, act, and view the world.
Virgo
Virgo is the sixth sign of the zodiac and rules the sixth house in astrology. As such, this conscientious Earth sign deals proactively with day-to-day activities and responsibilities. It is health-conscious, organized, and methodical. Virgos tend to take on service roles in society and feel best when they're fulfilling the needs of others. Though they may appear introverted, this is simply because they are pondering many ideas in their head. Ruled by Mercury, Virgos are always thinking about how to improve things, situations, and people. They are good at responding and are often viewed by others as helpers, healers, and teachers.
Virgos also make excellent craftsmen, artists, and massage therapists because they are good with their hands. Many have intuitive capacities and sense things in their bodies where others are hurting. They do well in any of the healing arts, as they have a natural attunement to the body’s needs and the mind-body-spirit connection. Having a heightened sensitivity to the needs of others, Virgo must guard against self-sacrificing behaviors as well as over-achieving. They often fail to recognize how amazingly talented they are and can be too hard on themselves.
Libra
Libra is the seventh sign of the zodiac and rules the seventh house in astrology. It is ruled by Venus and characterized by its love of companionship. As an Air sign, this means that it has a lot of mental activity in its energy field - even though when we think about its ruling planet, Venus, we often think about the heart and emotions - the way Libra uses this planet, is to think a lot about relationships.
Relationships are the prime area of concern for Libras. If Virgos care most about a job well done, Libras care most about establishing harmony in every relationship they have. Libra is represented in the zodiac wheel by the scales – a symbol implying balance. Without balance in all areas of life (and in how they appear), Libra feels discontent. They also value fairness and equality because it’s hard to have peace and serenity when everyone is always fighting. Libras want to feel a sense of justice and they will think hard about how to achieve it, often even at the expense of their own needs.
Because they are a cardinal sign, they have more assertiveness to take action. They are far more likely to initiate relationships, approach a mate online, and reach out without hesitation to those they love.
Differences between Virgo and Libra:
Libras are more outgoing and extroverted (thanks to their positive polarity and cardinal mode).
Virgos are quieter and more reserved (thanks to their negative polarity and mutable mode). They will generally wait to respond to situations versus reach out first.
Virgo is more disciplined with chores and duties.
Libra is more aware of others’ feelings and emotions.
Virgo is more interested in the practical grounded matters of everyday life
Libra is more interested in theories, principles, and values that people live by.
Virgos are going to be focused on getting the job done at hand. They are more task-oriented and solution-focused.
Libras are going to be seeking justice and fairness through rules and regulations that involve mental consideration.
Virgos make excellent healers because they know how to hone in on a specific area of the body and look at things objectively.
Libras make excellent judges and marriage counselors because they are always weighing the perspectives of both parties involved.
Libra is better at recognizing people who are in pain, and those who need some nurturing.
Virgos are better at noticing what’s out of place and needing to be fixed.
Libras are sentimental nurturers.
Virgos are meticulous workers.
Similarities between both signs:
Both signs can be pretty perfectionist – only Libra takes more time perfecting its appearance and surroundings while Virgo takes more time perfecting its craft and its knowledge.
Both signs can be too hard on themselves and over-give.
Both signs can overanalyze and overthink.
Both signs can be too concerned with themselves but for different reasons. Libras want to make sure they come across as pleasing to others, whereas Virgos want to make sure that they themselves and their contributions/accomplishments are enough.
Both are hyper-aware of how others see them, and if they are too insecure, this desire to be accepted can diminish their authentic presence.
Both do well to practice increasing their sense of self-worthiness and self-love.
Two key points to remember:
-What makes a Virgo feel good? A job well.
-What makes a Libra feel good? Knowing others feel loved by them.
