Decan Differences in Virgo Astrology Explained

The first decan of Virgo is characterized by versatility and specialization, focusing on practical self-improvement. The second decan emphasizes responsibility, material security, and organizational skills, but may lack flexibility. Decan influences shape Virgo traits, affecting their priorities, behavior, and approach to life and relationships.

in you guys opinion who's the best overall and your reason's why.

Virgo decans

The first, Mercury decan of Virgo The first, Mercury decan of Virgo is the best example of the extremely varied Virgo type, that seems to lack any clear uniting principle. First decan Virgos tend to be unassuming, yet some are constantly talking and bragging. They tend to be fussy and orderly, yet many turns this idea around by their bohemian exterior and messy homes. What might be said about all Virgos of this decan is that they are usually specialists and obsessed categorizers in some measure, finding a niche within life and sticking to it. This is often for practical reasons such as simple self-improvement for a better day-to-day life. They are seldom much concerned about prestige and worldly recognition.

The second, Capricorn/Saturn decan of Virgo Second decan Virgos are usually quite materialistic, without any great desire for luxury. Security is at the forge, and they have great organizational and general money-making ability. And they don't spend money recklessly. They are responsible, tactful and great administrators of the affairs of men, but can become quite one-sided and lacking in perspective. While Saturn betters the ability to see the big picture and strengthens the sense of ambition, it also lessens the flexibility and adaptability. These individuals are usually unforgiving towards people (read lovers) who let them down, while they keep a very practical, unemotional stance even in facing emotionally devastating situations.

The third, Venus/Taurus decan of Virgo Many third decan Virgos have a downplayed but considerable artistic sensitivity. Especially when it comes to materials; shape, colour and form. Perhaps they are amateur painters. Or professionals. Or skilled musicians, steadily building a technical mastery of their instrument. They are slow burners and learners. Steady, quiet and reserved, and usually don't talk unless they feel it is important. They are great dressers and have a generally fine sense of style . They feel safest at home, where there is always some practical issue to confront. They can become stubborn and fussy, petty and very narrow-minded, yet have a sweetness over them that can be regained and maintained.

Sorry but first decans are often evil and live double lives. I had one of these guys stalk me before and it got quite scary. So maybe he was just a freak no matter what sign.

lmfao i alot people on here say first decan virgos are crazy and not stable ur not the only one who says that hahaha.

Well, after our little back & forth in the other post i think there is (in my opinion) more to be said about 2nd decan virgos. I do know a couple people born in this time bracket so i will use them as a primary example instead of myself so as to avoid bias. But I will use personal introspection to a degree as well:

2nd decan virgos are very serious. They are complex, and the quietest, often thinking about stuff. They get annoyed VERY easily and have a lot of pet peeves. They don't commonly show they are annoyed however, because they prefer internalizing. They intellectualize everything, they are colder than the other virgos - a lot more emotionally distant. Some of them are downright cruel, especially when set off. They do have tempers, and their bitterness sometimes shows through their subtle use of sarcasm or wit. They care a lot about what others think of them and are thus (secretly) just as cruel to themselves. Despite that, they are paradoxically self assured, often thinking they are right about everything and are hard to convince otherwise. They feel, if they aren't right, then who the heck is? One Virgo I know born in this decan is very cliquey, snobby, and very much dislikes anybody who he does not feel close to. My godmother and cousin are also born in this decan (sharing the same birthday as myself, actually) we are much on the same page i find. We can be a bit stuck up and choosey about who we let into our chat circle, but when we do, we are very friendly and social. Our coldness and virgo acid shows a lot more easily in our speech, often it escapes our awareness. But it does not mean that we are mean. We are simply being critical so as to keep order. That's what it's all about with this decan, control. They LOVE to control, and be in charge too. When offered a position of power, they will decline, claiming they "do not care one way or the other". But when somebody else is in charge, they will do everything to wretch the reigns from their hands, albeit very subtly.

That is my take :]

"some are constantly talking and bragging."

"can become quite one-sided and lacking in perspective"

"These individuals are usually unforgiving"

"They can become stubborn and fussy, petty and very narrow-minded"

I dont agree with the one-sided and unforgiving parts of the 2nd decan description :] But that may be because i have a strong libra influence 🙂

I also don't agree that virgos are stubborn. I have never met a virgo who was stubborn as say a taurus or capricorn or sagittarius. when I think stubborn i think those signs.

Always feels to me like Virgos know it alls and they are impossible to convince they are wrong.. but i dont think its stubbonnes. More just that's the way they are hardwired

its like when you try to tell a taurus they are wrong and they say "no" and youre like "yes, actually" and theyre like "no!!" and youre like "yes!!" and theyre like "NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO ALALALALLA I CANT HEARRRR YOUUUU" But with virgos it's like "You're wrong" and they say "We have our different opinions :]" .... not outright telling you that they think your wrong but definitely not thinking theyre wrong either

virgos do that or they say, "i don't want to discuss it any further" and run off like a whiney biyaaaaaaaaa.

keep in mind that taurus doesn't pick fights. we're not aries. if we stand our ground, it's because we know we're right. and 99.9% of the time, we are 🙂

Comparing with my Virgo and other second decan Virgo friends

2nd decan virgos are very serious.

Yes.

They are complex, and the quietest, often thinking about stuff.

Yes, always thinking and worrying.

They get annoyed VERY easily and have a lot of pet peeves.

Annoyed easily? Not really and very little pet peeves.

because they prefer internalizing. They intellectualize everything, they are colder than the other virgos - a lot more emotionally distant.

Yes, externally cold but a teddy bear beneath the ice.

Some of them are downright cruel, especially when set off. They do have tempers, and their bitterness sometimes shows through their subtle use of sarcasm or wit.

No temper, as quiet and calm as a mouse.

They care a lot about what others think of them and are thus (secretly) just as cruel to themselves.

Yes, feelings of inadequacy, wanting to be perfect and to improve.

often thinking they are right about everything and are hard to convince otherwise.

No, they are very humble. My virgo admits when he is wrong and when I am right, and I am right more often than not. All of them are very open to different perspectives.

and very much dislikes anybody who he does not feel close to.

It is called being selective, just like scorpios are.

They LOVE to control, and be in charge too. When offered a position of power, they will decline, claiming they "do not care one way or the other". But when somebody else is in charge, they will do everything to wretch the reigns from their hands, albeit very subtly.

Likes to have control and everything in order? Yes. But be in charge all of the time? No. None of them are intimidated by strong and independent women/men. They are not very competitive either. That is, they do not care about power like scorpios do. Are you sure these virgos don't have any scorpio in them?

Well, Virgo and Scorpio used to be one sign, no wonder I find so many similarities.

No, these people share the same birthday as myself and thus would be mostly libra. but i do not believe these traits come from the libra side. I can personally say that my libra side and virgo side are two completely different people, and the libra side contributes nothing to this. I've never honestly met a virgo who was easy going like you describe, and s

Because decans based on dates are not accurate. Dates are too complicated, for example, according to some websites:

First decan: August 24-September 1
Second decan: September 2- September 11
Third decan: September 12 - September 23.

It is best to look for your decan based on degrees.

E.g. First decan: 0 to 10 degrees
Second decan: 10.01 to 20 degrees
Third decan: 20.01 to 30 degrees

i know im first virgo decan virgo why because i have my sun in virgo six degrees.

Since we started using decans, why not divide us further? From now on, the smartest, coolest, witty, and most likely to get laid virgo is born on Sept. 3. The rest are worthless in comparison.

I'm a first decan Virgo I don't brag but I do constantly talk... I honestly do not shut up! My room is a tip but the rest of the house is actually kinda tidy lol. I guess I am kinda concerned about prestige. I am fussy, yes! I just want everything to be perfect 😛 But really us first decan Virgo's loooooooooooooooove to have fun 🙂 but I can become really nasty if you push the wrong button which I can't really help I just get irritated easily. I agree with the "unassuming" I'm not arrogant or boastful. Go Virgo's 🙂

~ 28th of August Virgo 🙂

Cause you're more organized and deliberate about the way you express yourself and you seem more serious minded too (good thing!) and give the impression of having your life together for the most part, am I wrong? 😛

Lol you're just trying to flatter me now. Well, I am fairly deliberate; I always consider what I'm going to say before I say it, even if it's something silly. As for my life; I have it together for the most part; I still have moments where I feel like I don't, but I think that's an age thing rather than a virgo thing lol. I still feel I'm probably a first decan though, lol.
