If you are a Virgo, it is in your nature to be extremely loyal. You might be picky about certain things, but once surrounded by your tribe, you tend to stick with them, even when it doesn’t make sense to any longer. Sometimes you are loyal to a fault. It can cause you to remain in harmful or limiting relationships, work, and family situations for too long.

This is something to be mindful of as a Virgo. Make sure that you are not giving your energy away to the wrong people. You are very grounded as an Earth sign, and you can do just about anything you set your mind to due to your hard-working nature. However, sometimes you can be held back by people who might not have your best interests at heart.

You are very hard-working and care about others, and people can sense that about you. They might try (either consciously or subconsciously) to keep you trapped or manipulate you in a relationship or on their team at work because they get a lot of benefits from having you in their life, but they might not be contributing as much as you deserve in return. Virgos truly do tend to see the best in others, and they can have a hard time understanding that other people are capable of these types of behaviors. Relationships should be a mutual give and take physically, mentally, and emotionally, and if that reciprocity is not being met, you might want to consider a different option.

Mother Teresa was a Virgo. I’m definitely not saying all Virgos are like Mother Teresa, but this is the type of giving behavior common to a Virgo. Mother Teresa was a saint who ministered to the poorest and sickest people. Virgos tend to give to others at their own expense, and while that is not a bad thing, like in the case of Mother Teresa, you just have to make sure the energy is directed to those who truly do need and deserve your love and attention.

Virgos need to learn to stand up for themselves and for what is right. They need to step into their power in order to manifest the life they deserve, in which they are helping humanity in their best light. That can mean cutting out toxic people, places, and situations that are blocking them from thriving. This is something that Virgos can have a hard time with because of their inherent loyalty and grounded nature. They tend to just accept things for the way they are and it can cause them to become trapped in systems that are not in alignment with their truth without seeing the bigger picture.

Virgos often manifest issues with their stomach and digestive systems as a result of taking on the energies of others around them who are toxic. It is symbolic from a spiritual perspective when looking at the energetic chakra system, because this part of the body is where our self-esteem resides. If you are a Virgo, make sure you are surrounding yourself with people who are going to be as good to you as you are to them.
