Virgo (August 23 – September 22)

A maiden typifies the Virgo zodiac. The individuals of the sixth sign are meticulous, analytical, independent, and self-sufficient.

When in a crowd, they are usually the most controlled, orderly, and modest ones. If you think back to that certain someone you met and that person ticks all these boxes, then the stakes of that person being a Virgo are high.

This association is in keeping with Virgo’s deep-rooted role within the material world, which is represented by the goddess of wheat and agriculture. With a logical and calculated mindset, they have a very systematic thought process. Perfection flows in their veins and in as much as that sounds like a good thing, it necessarily isn’t. Their hyper-awareness to detail causes them to seclude themselves from people. Thinking of the next 10 moves to make like a chess Master, Virgos see the world in 1’s and 0’s.

In a friendship, they always want to lend a helping hand. The ‘let me teach you how to fish’ people. Rather than helping you with just a pat on the back and a listening ear, they’ll go the extra mile of trying and possibly solving the problem.

Ruled by Mercury, it shares a passport with Geminis, and although they are opposites, they can talk about anything and everything together. But that’s all they’ll ever be. Two of them together in a relationship would be catastrophic.

Just for their pertinacious behaviour, many Virgos may choose to pursue a career as writers, songwriters, journalists, and typists.
If I haven’t been able to convince you, these practical Virgos conceivably might; Beyoncè, Keanu Reeves, Funke Akindele, Linda Ikeji, David Oyedepo, Benson Idahosa, and Skepta.

The summa cum laude graduate from Eastern Connecticut State University is the foremost Virgo up for discussion.

Those who are considered efficacious masters of the literary arts barely interface in conversations that don’t affect the social or political construct of something they stand by or believe in. They have an embarrassment of feelings going in and around them that basic things don’t affect them.

But the things that irk them irks them deeply. They become considerably more passionate and vocal. On countless occasions, Adichie has shown that the pen is mightier than the sword, when she speaks about what Feminism is and how women should lift each other rather than digging the ground beneath them.

She has been publicly appreciated for her exceptional literary contributions with one of her works adapted to film and it starred award-winning Chiwetel Ejiofor.
As Virgos, their analytical approach comes from them not living anything to chance. That makes them focus deeply on their goals and with that commitment comes commendations.

From the creation of time, music has been an outlet for expressing personal, societal, and political oppression- morphing and improving as it evolved.

Starting at a time when every acre of the Nigerian music scene was fruitful, Tuface and the Plantashun Boiz were well-positioned to showcase their lyrical prowess and dexterity at the time.

However, as the tides of time hit, Innocent Idibia came out standing and went ahead to make a name for himself.

Digressing from that a bit, he also used his art to air his grievances on numerous occasions as well. Actively using his voice to spark a change on issues that affect him and his country.
