A person who has their Mercury in Virgo is logical, critical, practical, and detail oriented. They catch on quickly and manage their life in an organized fashion. Analytical and efficient, they plot out a task ahead of time and work through it step by step. There is no disorder or chaos surrounding this person. Their manner of speech, dress and surroundings will be well organized and tasteful. They can operate well as a team leader but their need for things to be exact might drive the other team members crazy. A solo job that requires detailed, methodical work would keep this person quite content and have fantastic results. Bookkeeping and financial work would be a match made in heaven.

It can seem as though they do not have confidence but that is an optical illusion. They do hesitate before making a decision on how to proceed because they like to ensure that they are correct by checking that list two or three times for errors. They hold themselves up to a high standard of accuracy to the point that they can become perfectionists. They can nit pick at the flaws within themselves and others. Romanticism and emotional outpourings are not likely to flow out of a person with their Mercury in Virgo. They would show those around them that they care through practical means- paying bills, taking out the garbage, showing up on time for meetings. To them, poetry is just empty, fanciful words and flowers weeds that are about to die. Real love is shown through the proof of dedication.
