I am just curious if this would even be possible for a virgo, particularly a virgo male.

Would you leave a job for a relationship because the job sucks all your time and energy.
Or would the virgo ignore the relationship for the job.

Would it be going against virgo law to ask a workaholic to work less?

Lets say job offer no benefits, and is a blue collar type.

I would, but only if I knew I was financially stable and I could get another job in a heartbeat in the industry I wanted and felt that my relationship was solid and worth more than just a menial job... Yes, yes I would...

I wouldn't ask someone to do that. I was just curious if a virgo would (meaning they would voluntarily). if it was like some virgo trait that didn't change like virgo=workaholic and cancer=moody.

Would I do it? In theory yeah, if I was asked by the person and felt they made enough money to support the both of us for a short time until I found new employment, yeah I would if I had a job that really wasn't a career but just a job.

In real world reality however, I just bought a house a few months ago, so I can't quit my job. And I am too much of a worry wart - I need security. But that being said, I have a career that can work just about anywhere.

Yes CC - I was just asking in general on if a virgo would or is it against the virgo grain.

that being said, just for kicks, I'd add is it a virgo male trait that is a workaholic or virgo in general?
Adding this new twist because my virgo daughter is stressing out - school, work, extra curricular activities -- she just called stressing over something that already happened. I tried to tell her to calm down that it was in the past, that it is over with, to just focus on the the next few hours.
lol
she hung up on me.

She likes work. Likes work too much - she keeps picking up extra shifts (waitress) and it is not effecting school work yet but is effecting her peace of mind and her sleep and her stress level - she is agitated because she spent 85 dollars at license bureau today and she is now worried about rent in 3 weeks!

I should add she is paying rent to stay in an apartment off campus cause she wants too. She could be living at home and driving 10 minutes to campus and having no bills.

Some Virgos are really self-sacrificial and I've seen Virgos give up a lot to please their partners. I think it depends on placements (libra venus, strong water ...etc), length of the relationship and how demanding/manipulative the partner is.

I'm a Third Decan Virgo - we have no real ambition - so I would never put a career ahead of being happy in my home life.

When my daughter was born, I quit a very promising career to move her closer to her grandparents, and to give her a more normal settled childhood - like my own.
