Virgos may be shy and overly critical of themselves and others. However, they have patience and are true friends that will fight on behalf of those they love.
Scorpio
While this water sign has all the regular trappings of a water sign, like being emotional and moody, Scorpio also has fiery elements. See: That temperament.
