Relations with other element signs
The Virgo is part of the Earth Signs along with the Taurus, and Capricorn.
Earth signs are said to be attracted to water signs because the two share qualities of acquisitiveness, retentiveness, and self-protectiveness. The earth signs supposedly feel that the water signs will nourish them, whilst water signs supposedly feel that the earth signs offer them the emotional security they desperately want. Whilst water is considered compatible with earth, water signs supposedly do not share much of the earth signs' practicality and the earth signs supposedly often view water signs' idealism as quite unrealistic, sometimes even fanciful. Earth signs supposedly find air signs fascinating because they can be attracted by their strange thoughts and share their intellectual tendencies. However, earth signs supposedly believe air signs to be "up in the clouds" and trying to put forward ideas that never will work in practice. Moreover, the severe detachment and insensitivity of the air signs are qualities the earth signs will eventually find tiresome and offensive. They see fire signs as simply too careless and forceful to be of any use.
Miscellaneous
In mundane or political astrology, Virgo is linked with Turkey, Greece, Brazil, Uruguay, and the Caribbean.[citation needed]

- Birthstone = Peridot, Blue Sapphire[1]
