The Toy Inspector
Your Virgo bird has reviewed the new toy. It has been examined from above, from below and from upside down. The knots are checked, the bell tested exactly three times, a verdict reached. Ruled by Mercury, this is the thoughtful cockatiel who notices you moved a picture frame and the budgie who shreds paper into strips of suspiciously even width.
As a mutable earth sign, your Virgo is practical, watchful and quietly helpful. They love a job to do, a puzzle to solve and a person who explains what is going on. Keep life interesting, keep it orderly, and keep the paper coming, and your Virgo will be in heaven.
