The Atypical Virgo
Not all Virgos will conform to the typical Virgo profile. A Virgo whose rising sign is in Aries, for example, will be very different from one who has Pisces rising. A Virgo with Aries rising will likely be less interested in nutrition and practical crafts and more drawn to mechanical things and physical activities, whereas with Pisces rising, interests may focus on artistic, medical, charitable, or spiritual pursuits.
