I have pretty much spent my life so far not really liking the Virgo personality. This is due, I thought initially to a stern, regimented over critical Virgo father (to might I add I adore now as an adult) I was the typical shy, sensitive Piscean child. As I grew a bit older, in my late teens and discovered astrology, I then put it down to me and Virgo just being opposites so not really seeing eye to eye. As I have got older, and had children of my own, I have started seeing parts of my dad come out in me, things that I always hated, I see myself doing or saying. My view on Virgos (sorry this isn't meant to be personal) is that they are critical, unsupportive, unfeeling, stern, cold and insensitive. So I am absolutely horrified to now discover that the most dominant sign in my natal chart by some way is Virgo! What does this meeeeean?? Am I really a virgo in disguise?? This may explain a lot as to sometimes I don't really understand myself, and I never expect others to, most of the time I really cant help them if they are on a quest to work me out as I really don't know the answers myself. If I started reading up more about Virgo personality and traits would I understand better? It confuses me more as I am Pisces Sun, Aries Rising and Taurus moon so how does Virgo be my most dominant sign?

Thanks in advance for any input....x

I have zero virgo placements but that is how I feel and it's been progress work to working myself out. I agree with you when your responsibility now include the well being of someone else's life I think it's natural to be more analytical, to be stern and going the safe route which can be attributed to being a virgo so doesn't that make you think perhaps it was your father's brand of love? *shrugs*

Plus Virgo's aren't a bad bunch and seeing they're considered the yin to your yang there could be lots to appreciate and learn from!

Thank you everyone for all the replies. I had a sneak over to the Virgo forum and could identify a lot with what was being said (I felt like a traitor over there though like I was spying on the enemy) Im not sure if I was picking up signs from me or those I know of my dad which yes, have stayed with me well into my 30's. The 'you know you are Virgo when' post made me laugh a bit, but I kind of guess I need to learn to warm to them a bit. My oldest male friend is after all, Virgo, we get a long very well but I also cant stand some of his such opinionated and refuse to budge ideas. Or the fact that he cant see things from another persons point of view, but he knows I don't like it and he also cant stand the fact that I am 'too soft', thinks he needs to protect me, cant remember the amount of times I have had to gently explain to him we will never get married nor will we ever enter into sexual relations...!!!

And I think there are Virgo placements in my chart, my Saturn, Mars and Jupiter are all in the Virgo bit on my chart. Mt next most dominant sign is Pisces. My son is Libra, but has soooo many water signs in his chart, he's only 6 but I can see his sensitivity and kindness so I do try to treat him with this in regard. My youngest daughter is Cancer with Sagg rising and what a little madam she is! I really don't think she will ever need friends in life, just her mum and dad...

I feel like my whole mental attitude in recent years has changed, I feel more detached from human kindness and nature hence why have ended up in astrology forums, I'm not sure what the planets have been up to of late but I'm almost feeling desensitised to others and have gone very internal??

I tend to get along best with fellow Pisces (for their compassionate natures), Aquarians and Leos (because that quite frankly make me LOL) And I extremely adore my eldest brother who is a Capricorn. Such a nice calming placid guy. I knock heads a bit with my mum, Taurus.

I love this site.x

My father was a virgo (he's in spirit now) and he was a loving, kind and nurturing father. I often felt like I had two mothers. My best friend is a virgo and she is probably the most kind person I know and honest to a fault. My roommate's boyfriend is a shy sweet virgo. I don't think this is a virgo issue. I think it's a daddy issue. We grow up and fear becoming like our parents only to become our parents. We both love them and they annoy and embarrass us in equal measure. It sounds like your father was raised "old school" and so became an "old school" father. I think they feel this is what they have to do to protect the ones they love. It's only one side to their character. Best I can suggest is to focus on the good in your father and bring that out in your own virgo qualities. Virgos are hard working, highly analytical, honest, loyal and very loving people when you get to know them. Love what you hate in your father and yourself because there's a lot of good there. Namaste.

My Grandma (my dads mum) is the sweetest, most non judgemental, accepting, kindest, soul I have ever known, I hope I grow to be like her, she is what I believe to being Pisces through and through, for all their best qualities, never have I seen any of the bad traits, born on the 24th February. My dad was a military man, in the parachute regiment over here, had to be tough to get in, and equally tough mentally to survive it, he was in it for 9 years so can understand some of his stern ways, aside from the Virgo aspect. I guess maybe I just took things a little too sensitively but know now deep down, that we clashed, I was totally rebellious, to everything and everyone (apart from my peers) at that age and he was harrrrrsh! He has waited for my eldest to grow into the monster I was but thankfully I was young when I had her so have known all the tricks of the trade and she hasn't managed to give my dad what he wants, I think he is secretly gutted, its almost like a friendly competition between us but im winning. One down, 2 to go!

Im lucky, to still have both my parents around. I will honestly feel like a proper orphan without them. And I know I will be the one that holds the siblings together. My dad has even made me the executer of his will and in such somre circumstances, that's such a huge thing for me, there is 4 of us, me and him got on the least but he now regards me as one of the most sensible. God I love him!!

He has many good qualities, his sense of humour is just so bizarre and odd it makes you laugh, always always worked hard. I know he changed into a diva himself when his own father died, my mum said he coped with it in a very bad way which lasted years, took till my mum left him for him to give up the alcohol and man up, and what a beautiful man he is, Loves me and my kids but cant hardly stand us being around, well, not the little ones, touching things and wanting to play with personal objects which shine and look appealing to children. Likes things just so. I too am very honest, brutally, im not one for lying to save feelings, I analysed EVERTHING! My family refrain from telling me things just to avoid the 100 questions afterwards which they don't know the answer to but which I need to know in order to make a fully non judgemental opinion in my own brain.

I have recently taken on a new client at work who I absolutely adoooore! I work with the elderly in their homes, caring for them, we have a great banter and I found out just yesterd
