Sun in Virgo, Moon in Capricorn

The earth element sets the tone in your character. You are calm and unhurried, very hardworking and practical, and the material values of this world attract you. Calling you hardworking hardly says enough.

Work is your whole life, and you cannot imagine existing without it. You are meticulous and precise, and you love getting into the small things, which matter a great deal to you. You have an excellent ability to concentrate, to think in abstractions and to put incoming information in order. You are naturally flexible and can adapt to people and circumstances, yet there is an inner core in you that people always feel.

You make your decisions after a quick, thorough analysis and a mental plan of how the situation might develop, always weighing the expected risks. You carry them out with persistence, patience and remarkable dedication. You are serious and reliable, and people can always count on you. You love plans, instructions and clear rules. In a well-organized setting you feel completely at home, yet when circumstances change suddenly, you can feel lost, and practicing a little improvisation can make those moments easier. You have great respect for professionalism and work to become a true expert in your field. Career growth and the chance to reach real heights in life attract you. Service to others is central to your life. You are caring and sensible, and you help others with words and with deeds. You do tend to schedule even your care for loved ones, following a plan you have made in advance, and a spontaneous gesture now and then can mean a lot to them.

Rest does not appeal to you, and you prefer work. If you must rest, it should be connected to work somehow. You also relax in a working atmosphere or while planning a strategy for the future. You love cleanliness, order, simplicity and rigor, and there is something of the ascetic in you. At home you can be very strict, giving instructions like a commander and keeping a watchful eye on how they are carried out. Deep down, you want to keep everything and everyone under control, especially anything that concerns your own life, and allowing others some say can make home feel warmer. You show your emotions in a dry, restrained way and dislike stormy displays of feeling. Food and sleep don't rank high for you as needs of the body, and when you work hard you may skip a meal without much regret.

Your conscious aims and your inner needs work in harmony, both turned toward organizing the space around you and getting practical results. At times your energy, drive and emotional warmth may run low, and making time for joy helps restore them.

In a man's chart, this combination brings an analytical mind, precision, practicality and thrift, and he is often drawn to a partner who is serious, responsible, reliable and focused on a career.

In a woman's chart, it can make adapting harder and gives a certain stiffness and reserve in behavior, and she is drawn to a man who is flexible and changeable, yet hardworking and caring.

The classic view

You are quietly magnetic, restrained even when you are most eager, and have a keen sense of good taste that is a valuable social asset.
