I analyze

Virgo's analyze. That is the astrological keyword for them, and in practice, they do this ALL THE TIME. This is why Virgo's are considered "mental", why they live in their heads.

However, they do it in a certain way, which is why people often tend to under-estimate the Virgoan intelligence. Gemini's have the reputation for being quick-witted because they're reputed to be able to think of 500 things at one time. Virgoans on the other hand, their minds being just as quick, tend to think of ONE thing at a time, just 500 different ways.

In a relationship, this behavior can be unnerving (even if the other is also a Virgo). The guilty tend to brand Virgo's as being judgemental. Virgo's dont mean any harm by it, being analytical is how they are.

One of the consequences of this is that Virgo's strive to keep their minds clear and their emotions compartmentalized. Adjectives of them being like "Vulcans" are thrown around, Virgo's are characterized as being unfeeling. Not at all, Virgo's are human too - but they do place a premium on logic, that is true. It's just that being emotional interferes with the thinking. That is why they prefer being calm.
