Well maybe. My Virgo rising generally causes others to perceive me as a bit more...oh jeez...bitchy and critical than I really am? Those who get to know me better can see that while I note my observations, which can be positive OR negative, sometimes keen and sometimes cutting, I generally truly wish the best for my fellow humans and my criticisms are a natural form that my idealism takes in wanting the best for my fellow man (my Mercury in Scorpio comes into play here as well.)

I try to remember to appreciate the Virgo in my chart, although it creates mostly challenging aspects for me as a LIbra who prefers to be liked socially. A Virgo sun is one of my least favorite sign groups to be around in almost any circumstance, excepting perhaps group members for school or work projects. I find them generally dismal, annoying, uptight and negative people, and it frustrates me to no end when I catch myself being similarly negative. I have dated a few people that turned out to be fellow Virgo risings, and when times were bad they were bad only in the specifically horrible way that they could be between two Virgo risings. Along with water suns, my patient and carefully considered Libran judgement has permanently and inalterably crossed Virgo suns and risings off of the list of future romatic potentials.

On the other hand, my rising in Virgo gives me the focus that an air-heavy dreamer and artist like myself might otherwise lack, giving me diligence to my ambitions. As a Libra with Virgo rising, it makes sense that I am a composer who also spent much time in music criticism.
