Virgo is the sixth sign of the zodiac and is ruled by Mercury much like Gemini. The difference being is that Virgo gains the slower, more methodical energy of Earth. Analytical, conscientious, critical, practical and orderly Virgo thrives in the background, which is why they excel as producers, drummers (Neil Peart of Rush), DJs, and rhythm guitarists. They constantly try to achieve perfection in everything they do, though realistically they can fall short of this expectation many times. Some Virgo DJs/producers include Metro Boomin’, Yung Gud, Deorro, Mark Ronson, Avicii, Dan Deacon, Duke Dumont, Kaytranada, Zedd, Paul Oakenfold, The-Dream and Nile Rodgers. Virgos are very funny and make great comedians/comedic actors such as Louis C.K., Kyle Mooney, Dave Chappelle, Katt Williams, Bill Murray, Jack Black, Jason Sudekis, Jeff Foxworthy, Jimmy Carr, Lewis Black, John Mulaney and Jeff Ross (can roast/criticize anyone in the biz). Also Senator Bernie Sanders is a Virgo, but so are Carly Fiorina, Ben Carson and Chris Christie (I will cover Bernie in his own post).

Leland Wayne a.k.a. Metro Boomin was born on Sept. 16, 1993 in St Louis, MO. He is noted for producing pretty much the entire modern rap movement including Future, Young Thug, iLoveMakkonen, Gucci Mane, fellow Virgo Wiz Khalifa, Travi$ Scott, Migos, Meek Mill, Chief Keef, the list goes on. Blow A Bag by Future is by far Young Metro’s best beat by far:

Yung Gud (Aug. 28) is by far the most elite producer from the Sadboys collective. Virgo is a mutable sign is known for changing things up every once and a while which is seen with his work with hard style with Yemi and the Yung Lean single “Hoover”, his “crush core” tracks, his ambient tracks and his Clams-Casino inspired hip-hop beats. By far his most commanding beat is “My Guns”:

Duke Dumont represents the Virgo quite well and his music video for “The Giver” plays into Virgo’s need to serve and give back to the community (think Mother Teresa who was born Aug. 26). Speaking of religous figures, Jesus plays quite a role in this video:

Louis C.K. is the modern Virgoan comedian, he is sort of awkward, fussy, over-indulgent and funny. If you have followed Louie over the years, he has come along way from a scrappy stand-up comic to comedy-drama auteur. The mutable quality comes into play when you see his stand-up compared to his FX show Louie and his latest venture which is Horace & Pete: an hour-long dark theater-inspired T.V. show that he releases through his own website because Virgo does things their way whenever possible (see Beyonce’s self-titled album release). Virgo rules the intestines so it’s no wonder that Virgoan comedy (Adam Sandler) revolves around shit and fart jokes. Male Virgos take fatherhood quite seriously which is no wonder that Louie’s stand up is centered around his two daughters. Here’s a mix of those two influences:

Kyle Mooney is another Virgo comedian that really represents the sign very well. He’s awkward, he’s witty, he loves to deejay and make beats. His work with Good Neighbor showcases multiple Virgo archetypes: the awkward journalist, the self-proclaimed badass who is a little ingenue, and the stoner. In this clip, Kyle tries to ask out this woman on a date and the self-critical nature of Virgo really comes to fold:

Last of all, the quintessential Virgo in Hollywood is Keanu Reeves. His role as Neo in The Matrix employs some of Virgo’s favorite activities: martial arts, analyzing what makes consciousness they way it is, drugs, and wearing dark discrete clothing. He is a big dog lover (pretty much necessary for any Virgo to own) and he is quite caring and humble in his everyday life. I leave with this passage about Reeves’ life to conclude the charitable Virgo sign :

“His life is accentuated by constant tragedy, and it is hard not to admire his bravery once you find out what he has been through. He is also incredibly generous and down to earth, and these acts often get overshadowed, or never spoken of at all. He is the unsung hero of our times so I thought I would take some time to talk about a man whose life you would not wish on an enemy !

A man whose strength, in real life, greatly outshines some of the heroes he plays on the big screen. This is the staggering true story of Keanu Reeves. Every single moment of the man’s life has been marred by tragedy and loss.

Have you noticed why Keanu looks sad most of the times? When I looked into his life I realized why he’s sad and he has his own damn good reasons too. His father was arrested when he was 12 for drug dealing. Later his Dad abandoned his family. Obviously that instilled trust and abandonment issues in him right away. His family later moved to Canada and there he had several step dads.

Next up, his best friend and fellow actor, River Phoenix, dies outside The Viper Room from a drug overdose when he was just twenty three. That is something you never, ever get over. The scent of death and that sense of lingering sadness never fades away from that kind of loss.

Fast forward to 1998. Keanu meets a woman, Jennifer Syme, and he falls madly and passionately in love with. She gets pregnant with his child in 1999. In his eyes, this is the ultimate. His life is complete. Then, in 2000, the unthinkable happens. His baby is delivered stillborn. As the result, Jennifer falls into a deep postpartum depression, which Keanu can do little to shake her from. Their romance cools off a little as a result of the loss, but the couple remain close. But in 2001, his world is torn asunder yet again, when Jennifer is killed instantly in a car accident. From the time he watched his girlfriend die, Keanu avoids serious relationships and having kids.

He donated seventy-five million dollars to the special effects and costume design team of The Matrix films for, quote, making him look good. He’s one of the only Hollywood stars without a Mansion. He said: ‘I live in a flat, I have everything that I need at anytime, why choose an empty house?’.

Almost in the same year Keanu’s father was arrested again and his younger sister was diagnosed with leukemia. Today she is cured, and he donated again 70% of his gains to Hospitals that treat leukemia.

In one of his birthdays, he got to a little candy shop and bought him a cake, and started eating alone. If a fan walked by he would talk to them and offer them cake. He doesn’t have bodyguards, and he doesn’t wear fancy clothes. When they asked him about ‘Sad Keanu’, he replied: ‘You need to be happy to live, I don’t.”

Even after all he has been through, all the loss he has felt, he never shows that. He never asks for compassion or pity. He just keeps on living. And if that is not the sign of a true hero, I don’t know what is !

Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle. Live, love and count your blessings because tomorrow is never guaranteed.”
