Got a Virgo in your life? Or maybe you were born between August 23 and September 22, and therefore you fall under the sign of Virgo's “The Maiden” – typically signified with an M-like symbol.

Either way, we love that for you! Virgos are loveable, complex and endearing.

Their kind, problem-solving nature and down-to-earth vibes make them a great partner or friend – though you might find their methodical, matter-of-fact nature a little blunt at times.

But at their heart, Virgos are the perfectionists of the zodiac, only ever wanting the best for themselves and others… though, of course, they sometimes must learn that life isn't always perfect.

Famous Virgos include Beyoncé, Zendaya and Blake Lively. Blake even poked fun at her “ambitious, hard-working and sometimes obsessive” star sign in an advert for her drinks brand Betty Buzz, in which she was described as a “notorious Virgo”.

So, to find out more about Virgo personality traits, look no further. Here's the lowdown…

Practical

At their core, Virgos are problem-solvers. They are logical thinkers – instead of looking at life with their head in the clouds, Virgos work with the facts, approaching a situation in a methodical way.(Virgos like to feel as though they're being useful.) In fact, they often have a practical quick-fix for any issue that comes their way. And if they don't? A Virgo's committed nature means they'll find a solution, pronto.

Hardworking

Being hardworking and practical is what makes Virgos such, well, perfectionists. But that's not a bad thing. Virgos are consistent; they will improve their skills and work at a situation, putting in the time and effort to achieve their desired result. They're renowned for their attention to detail – Queen Bey herself is a Virgo, need we say any more?

Humble

Virgos are, at their core, kind, supportive people (even if it might not seem that way from the outside – they tend to have a blunt edge to their personality). They use their conscientious nature to support those around them, fixing their problems and putting others' needs before their own. Despite swooping in to save the day, modest Virgos don't expect too much recognition in return – in fact, they'll probably never ask you for gratitude. But a little “thank you” goes a long way with a Virgo.

Control freak

The downside to being super practical and dedicated? It often means a Virgo will think their way is the only route to tackling a problem. This laser-focused mindset often leads to them being overly independent, often taking on larger workloads to “maintain standards” and even pushing others away, so be careful.

Blunt

Virgos are so observant that they can sometimes come off as blunt or overly critical. Their inherent need to be of service to others often displays itself as picking up on things that others can improve on and bringing it to their attention, but this can sometimes be perceived wrongly, so watch what you say.

Martyr

Virgos service-orientated mindset can go to the extremes sometime, as they often refuse to ask other people for help - but this doesn't mean they shouldn't accept it when it's offered.

Overthinkers

The problem with paying attention to every single detail is that you are bound to start overthinking things. Virgos are the most prone to overthinking, especially when considering every outcome to a situation which often sees them focus on the most negative one.

Virgos appreciate a partner that share the same values as them: observant, grounded and analytical. This often presents itself in other earth signs like Taurus and Capricorn as these pairs feel as if they truly understand one another.

Cancer and Scorpio are also good romantic matches for Virgo. Their energy and emotions balance out Virgos thoughtful nature. Cancer and Virgo signs are both naturally caring and so they feel like they are able to be equals in a relationship. Virgo also gives Cancer the stability they so deeply want, and Cancer allows Virgo to get deeper in touch with their emotions. A Scorpio-Virgo pair is deeply productive, but sometimes a Scorpio feels scorned when it fails to reach a Virgos always-high standards.

Pisces and Virgo also make a good match. On the opposite sides of the Zodiac, these two signs can balance each other out. Virgo provides a down-to-earth nature for Pisces, while Pisces can match Virgo on an intellectual level.

Put simply, Virgos are excellent employees. They are diligent, excellent critical thinkers, and love to keep track of the small details. However, if you have a Virgo co-worker or you are the Virgo co-worker, you've probably noticed that you have a tendency towards being impatient, can easily criticise others and think you know what's best. Oh, and you're stubborn to boot.
