Saturn in Virgo

Saturn in Virgo perfects. Discipline goes into work, health and detail; fear is of failing the standard, and the structure is a routine that leaves nothing to chance. Competence is high and self-criticism higher. The work is to accept the flaw and to serve without keeping the ledger.

In plain words

Saturn stands for your duties and your limits. In Virgo, that works in a Virgo way: careful, helpful and hard to please. You notice what is wrong and quietly fix it.
