How it's used
Beyond the zodiac sign, this term is frequently used as a shorthand for describing someone who is perfectionistic, detail-oriented, or overly critical. It is common to hear people say someone is acting very Virgo when they are being particularly fastidious about cleanliness or organization. This usage is purely informal and relies on the popular cultural stereotype associated with the sign.

Common mistake
Do not confuse the astrological sign with the literal noun for a virgin, which is also written as 處女. Context is essential to distinguish between referring to someone's birth sign and their sexual history.
