Virgos are known to be perfectionists. Working hard at something until they get it right is one of their strongest characteristics. They are very detail-oriented, which can lead them being seen as critical.

“Virgos can be perfectionists and their resourcefulness can help others reach their goals,” astrologer Astrodim told Bustle. “They are good at breaking things down to actionable plans to make aspirations believable and reachable.”

Virgos are ruled by Mercury, which means that they can be great communicators and charming.

Their logical and practical minds along with their attention to detail make them meticulous and great at executing their vision. This shows in many of our favorite celebrity Virgos. Our faves have long lists of awards and recognitions and an impressive resume in music and film. Some of them make us wait for their projects for quite some time, making them highly anticipated. They never disappoint because they chase idealism and won’t release anything until it comes close. Take a look at 10 celebrities with big Virgo energy.

Beyoncé

September 4

King Bey is a proud Virgo. She often shout outs team Virgo in her music. Her new album, Renaissance, houses her track dedicated to her zodiac called “Virgo’s Groove.”

In 2011, she explained how being a Virgo affects her work ethic to Dazed & Confused.

I am a Virgo to the tee! I wonder what signs the other designers are? I like to think outside the box. I don’t believe in the answer ‘no’. I am extremely driven and extremely critical – sometimes overly critical. Sometimes it is one of the things that I have to work on. I am a control freak. I pay attention to details. When I do something I do it 100 per cent. I have high expectations of myself and expect the exact same thing of everyone around me. I’ve always been that way. I am all or nothing.

She also shared with Harper’s Bazaar how being a Virgo also makes her a private person.

“A lot of who I am is reserved for the people I love and trust. Those who don’t know me and have never met me might interpret that as being closed off. Trust, the reason those folks don’t see certain things about me is because my Virgo a** does not want them to see it … It’s not because it doesn’t exist!”

Taraji P. Henson

September 11

Virgos like to break things down so they can gain a better understanding. This shows in Taraji P. Henson’s advocacy for mental health. She is determined to understand not only how mental illness affects people but also why Black people don’t seek services. This led to her becoming an advocate and launching the Boris Lawrence Henson Foundation to make mental health services more accessible to Black people. She even having her own Facebook Watch show dedicated to mental health called Peace Of Mind With Taraji.  This shows how the Virgo logic works. If they see there is a problem, no matter how big or small they are great at executing a plan to solve it.

In a past Instagram post, she shared how Virgos act when they don’t like a person and gave it a co-sign.

KeKe Palmer

August 26

KeKe Palmer often shares how being a Virgo makes her great. She recently told E! Online what she loves most about being a Virgo.

“I would say perfectionist, but that also can be a pain in the behind. So, I’ll say that my favorite Virgo quality is my ability to let things go. Virgos, we can love really hard and we can be like oh my gosh, but as soon as things go wrong, we definitely cut it off and move forward. I really love that because it saves us so much heartache and time.”

She also has a song called “Virgo Tendencies.”

Sanaa Lathan

September 19

Virgo queen Sanaa Lathan admitted that Virgos can be judgmental and explained how it comes from a good place.

“Virgos are very down to earth. She’s an earth mother and also very picky. So I’m very picky, and I’m a perfectionist to a fault,” she told Rolling Out.I’m also very critical…but Virgos tend to be very critical of others and of the people around them—especially people they love. But in the end, they’re really the most critical of themselves, which pretty much sums me up.”

Zendaya

The Euphoria shared how being a Virgo makes her want to be the head honcho. She also shared that as Virgo she has a tendency to not like being spontaneous.

“As a Virgo, I hate not being in control of things, and spontaneity is difficult for me in real life,” she told W Magazine. “It’s funny, because that’s why I love acting so much. It’s the one space in which I can feel safe being spontaneous, because I’m not myself; I’m someone else. There are no consequences.”
