Saturn in Virgo Personality
Saturn rewards hard work, and Virgo is the consummate hard worker. Saturn in Virgo sharpens the tools in its natives' kits, allowing them to creep closer to the oh-so-desired realm of perfection. It's no wonder that Saturn in Virgo natives are the boss' favorites. However, the same can't be said for their coworkers. As a manager, Virgo Saturn is unforgiving and fault finding. Virgo's characteristic meticulousness is supercharged with Saturn, giving birth to a fairly demanding personality.
In terms of work, there is Virgo Saturn's way, and there is the wrong one. Choose wisely because otherwise, you may find yourself on the receiving end of a nasty—and painfully factual—critique. In a way, work is life for this placement, so they consider crimes against productivity as particularly heinous.
Positive Traits
Saturn irons out mutable energy's difficulties with follow-through. Therefore, Saturn in Virgo has the wherewithal to endure longer projects that might eventually bore the average Virgo placement. Paired with their keen eye for detail, these individuals are powerhouses able to hammer at a project for hours or even days at a time, to the dismay of their loved ones.
Their analytical minds make them good fits for scientific careers, as they're able to pick out logical inconsistencies with ease and generally wouldn't mind having to redo experiments multiple times. Virgo Saturn understands the importance of being exact.
Negative Traits
Even without Saturn's influence, Virgo certainly isn't the most laid back. This is doubly true when the zodiac's busiest sign meets the planet of limits. Therefore, Saturn in Virgo can create a human pressure cooker. Though they rarely explode, Virgo Saturn needs to maintain awareness of their own limitations. Sometimes, they're so profoundly in their heads that they forget to look after their bodies.
Simply because one can toil all day does not mean that one should. Even God rested on the seventh day, and despite their sky-high expectations, a deity Virgo Saturn is not.
Conclusion
Saturn and the less wily child of Mercury meet in a dance of discipline, organization, and more than a little nitpicking. Saturn in Virgo natives are the folks to whom one takes delicate and even repetitive tasks that require long hours and a keen eye for detail. Precision is the name of the Virgo Saturn game, and they'll settle for nothing less than. This, in turn, doesn't make them the most pleasant of the Saturn signs.
Friends and coworkers might even describe them as being on the frosty side, but those with this placement pay them no mind. Saturnian Virgos don't go through life with the goal of being likable. They want only to be their highest achieving selves.
