### Ruling Planet - Mercury

Virgos share their ruling planet Mercury with another zodiac sign, Gemini. However with Gemini, Mercury takes care of communication. But in the case of Virgos, Mercury is more concerned with logic, reasoning and productivity. Mercury guides the Virgos to discern and discriminate, making them better critics around. Mercury makes the Virgos to be more analytical with their thought process. Mercury guides the Virgos to sieve things and to bring order among a chaotic situation around.

### LOVE HOROSCOPE

Astrologically the nature of this earth sign is said to be cold, unaffectionate, and lacking in sexual desire. For Virgo though at times it is said to be true, it is often a hidden cover for inherent sensuality. The earth signs are supposed to have strong magnetic contact with their partners. Unfortunately many Virgoans are secretly ashamed of their desires and brush them to one side. But as they become old they realize that there is no need to be ashamed of sex as a demonstration of love.

And once it is understood they loosen their inhibitions and come out of the circle and become ardent lovers.They mainly get attracted by the communicative skills of the other sex and that is the point where they fall in love. They get excited by sexy languages like love poems and erotic tales. They are person who look for variety, communication, and earthy action in their marriage relationship but they have to be careful of not to scare away their partners with their constant carping, nagging and desire for verbal exchange.
