You are quick-minded and detail-intensive, and would love getting straight to the point. You don't mind poring over books filled with facts. They are the best source of intrigue. And yes, with you around, the encyclopedia will never gather dust.

Chocolates:

You will first assess each ingredient of the chocolate, and determine if they have passed your quality test. You are also fair, so if there are a 100 different people around, each will get a bit of chocolate.

Movies:

You do not have time to watch anything that won't improve your life in some way. You might just watch a Jane Goodall documentary to unwind. When you need to have a few laughs, a Charlie Chaplin film will work just fine.

Music:

The music you listen to should not distract you from the task at hand. And yes, what is said in a song is as important to you as the song, and meaningful lyrics score.

Restaurants:

You probably frequent a handful of restaurants, and think twice before you try a new one. And yes, the kitchen had better be as impressive as the rest of the décor!

Sports:

You will gravitate toward sports that provide mental stimulation and fitness, all at once. Sports like basketball, gymnastics or hang gliding fit the bill.

Television:

You are perhaps one of the few ardent watchers of quiz shows and nature documentaries. You would also watch self-help shows. Soap operas are a waste of time and emotions.

Pets:

You need to summon your patience with a Virgo pet. These animals can be picky, and will drive you mad in no time.

Your Virgo pet needs order, so a set schedule can work wonders. Virgo pets are also prone to hypochondria, so they'll forever be wincing or yelping about this or that. Get used to it!

However, you will soon get used to caring for this pet, for what they need is a stable routine. The Virgo pet enjoys being walked at the same time of the day, down the same route. You don't have to tear your hair over variety! These animals are also neat and clean, so see that the place they sleep in is neat and clean. If not, the pet could get finicky and look elsewhere. You will be thankful this pet is not demanding. They are quite happy with their old playthings. They also have a great attention to detail, something that makes them good guard animals.

While the Virgo pet can seem demanding at times, it's only because they know what they want and are counting on you to help them get it. Keep things simple and consistent, and you'll both be happy!

Gifts:

Virgos love the understated, so a classy gift would work wonders. Virgos are also well organised, so give them a gift which would help them keep track. A calendar or a digital diary would be the ideal gift. Virgos have a head for money, so a gift of bonds would certainly make them happy. What with their astute business sense, they would soon reap rich rewards. Virgos also enjoy keeping fit, so a gym membership would help. People born under this sign also have a love for pets, so pick up a dog from the local SPCA and see the special Virgo someone's face light up.

Great gifts:

A gym membership, roller blades, a massage or spa treatment, stocks or bonds, a wallet, a key ring, a pet, an exercise cycle, a diary, an organiser, a plant, a nice bottle of wine, a calculator.
