Feelings

- Can be a perfectionist about their own abilities
Parenting guidance by age
0–6 months
Keep routines gentle and predictable; Virgo babies notice disruption more than most.
6–12 months
Let them observe before trying something new — rushing tends to backfire.

Praise the attempt, not just success, since perfectionism can creep in early.
