Interesting comparison of Virgos & Leos

"Virgo is the second earth sign, the second mutable or adaptable sign, and the second social sign. Like the advertisement for a car rental firm used to say, —Number two tries harder,?? Virgo tries very hard to fix things up, to make improvements, to rearrange, to schedule and systematize. As an earth sign, it is practical, wanting to have a place for everything and everything in its place. Continuing a theme begun in Leo, Virgo also sees its self-worth as based upon the validation of others. But now the process is reversed. Virgo sees everything in terms of flaws, or what is wrong, while Leo tends to see everything in terms of what is good, pleasing or right. Leo's cup is half-full; Virgo's cup is half-empty. Virgo can feel worthy of being loved only if it performs well. Leo expects to be validated simply for performing; his being alone is quite sufficient to warrant adoration and applause."
