It’s officially Virgo season, which means order is about to be restored.
Known for being practical, analytical and grounded, Virgos are all about working hard and working smart. These Earth signs err on the side of perfectionism, so better believe that when it comes to tackling issues or creating solutions for problems, they’re the ones to call as they’re gifted at crossing all I’s and dotting all T’s.
On the flip side, Virgo risings’ penchant for perfection can also come off as harsh self-criticism, even insecurity at times, but they just want to put their best foot forward.
Below, we tapped Psychic Tara, premier astrologist at California Psychics to give us a breakdown of the Virgo rising sign.
