here is a little part
Modern language sometimes does some very funny things with words and concepts that come from the pre-Christian era. For example, take the Latin word virgo. It's usually interpreted as virgin, with all its sexual implications. So that the typical Virgo portrayed in popular astrology is virginal, i.e., prudish or inhibited or sexually cool. One need only look at some well-known film personalities born under Virgo, like Sophia Loren and Jacqueline Bisset and Sean Connery, to feel a little silly about equating Virgo with a lack of sexual interest or appeal. But more of that later. Let's go back to what the word virgo once meant. It had, in fact, nothing to do with sexual virginity, but simply meant intact, self-contained. The great mythical figure that stands behind Virgo is the Great Goddess, the Magna Mater, and she was no virgin. In fact she is often portrayed in myth as the Great Harlot, the fecund one. There is a magnificent statue of the virgin goddess Artemis, one of many names for the Great Goddess, portrayed with fifty breasts to show that she represents the nurturer and giver of life to all of life. But she is virgo in the sense that she is self-possessed, her own person. In early mythology, from which we inherit the figure of the Virgin Goddess, before the Hellene invasion from the north into the agricultural civilizations of the Aegean in around 2000 B.C., the goddess did not owe her powers on her status to a divine husband as we see her in later mythology. She ruled alone, self-contained, husbandless, yet offering her femininity freely as she chose. She was the consort of all life. This is a clue to the deepest meaning of Virgo: the ultimate goal of this apparently humble sign is nothing less than the self-possessed psyche, the person who integrated within himself and can therefore give freely because he need not fear losing himself in another.

Excellent finding, very educational.

thanks I thouhgt so and wanted to share anything that spoke to your soul.

I like this and I think it is true.
Anyone who says a Virgo is not sexual does not know a Virgo, or maybe that Virgo is not that into them.
But, there is something about the Virgo sexuality, even the Artemis of Ephesus with the fifty breasts.
That is that we are pure. There's nothing "dirty" or twisted about our sexuality, with us sexuality is as innocent and honest as the rest of nature.
We don't tend to play the games or get into the perversions. It is straightforward and simple. I suppose that is why we are known as young and childlike.
(Even myself at age 56 and a half years old finds myself younger at heart than most of the youngsters around me.)
And yes, I am entire unto myself and my self is my own best company. But I must say that when I have met a man (I can count on less than the fingers of one hand) that seems to reflect myself, the fascination of seeing myself mirrored in another person, that is rare and precious and I love those ones like I love myself.

And... A Mature Virgo will realize (often after many years!) that he cannot fully actualize on his own - his needs another to be a complete person.

But ideally, another Virgo.

I would have to agree I always wanted to.. but I have not been able to yet

I like that website it goes into detail about all signs the Virgo one was good but i felt they missed some things about Virgo its just my opinion but overall it's good.
