What’s up with the Virgo hate?

Let me start off by saying that I know NOTHING about astrology. Nada. So I was taken aback, to say the least, when I heard my coworker make a comment today about my zodiac sign (Virgo) which sounded like it was an insult….? A group of us were in the middle of brainstorming for a new product launch, and I volunteered to be the point person managing the details for an upcoming campaign. Under her breath, I heard my coworker say with a sarcastic tone: “would never guess you’re a Virgo!” (My birthday is on the team calendar for this month — I guess that’s how she knew). When I called her out and asked what she meant by that, she tried to laugh it off and change the subject, but I’m still upset. What did she mean, and how am I supposed to respond to something like this?

I’m always called the opposite of my sign but if someone were to say something like that try saying stuff like “Thank you.” “Anyways..” “okay…?” “haha?” “Is that an opinion you just made up?” “I literally don’t care so f* off.” Idk. I say those a lot. Don’t let them get you you, Virgos rule!

I'm a Virgo and tbh you sure sound like one... Did she mean it in a way that she never got along or liked a Virgo before? Or never hated a Virgo before, depending on your veiws on each other. I don't understand the hate either though half the time so I'm not much help :'P

i can relate as well, im also pretty quiet so i dont really try to deny it even though i know i dont relate that much to the virgo traits, its why i never really bring up astrology to anyone, because im afraid they will judge me and slowly start to think im just a pain to be around.

Well I would take that personal too since I'm also a virgo and when you tell that to someone they would think of you as stubborn, or mean, or hard to get etc.... they just think we have a big attitude which I dont get because everyone is different just ignore and move along

I mean... we ARE stubborn sometimes... and very misunderstood (aka hard to get)... and tbh, we look mean because of our resting b*tch faces but hey, they can't assume based on that!! XD

Why you thought it was an insult was because the Virgo is also called the Loving Mother Zodiac and as a Virgo you judge based off of love and the comment you heard you didnt know what it was because you couldn't tell if there was love in the comment.

Oh, and just my humble opinion, but if it sounded snarky to you, it probably was meant that way. Next time, tell her "thanks!" LOL.

Folks, she did ask the coworker about the comment, but she wouldn't really discuss it, evidently.
