Although advertising isn't a natural atmosphere for his realistic, practical approach, he might be valuable in some position where he can patiently pick up the pieces of those creative brainstorms that occasionally blow sky high, and make sure that the fabulous ideas which have been so joyously tossed into the promotional hat don't have large holes in them.

It would not be advisable to send your Virgo employee out to promote your company or sell your product. He's a bit too honest and plain spoken to paint any glowing 'ctures for your potential customers, and his basic nature ? ^qq shy and retiring to push either himself or your firm with any great gobs of enthusiasm. Very few Virgos make eood salesmen, only the rare exceptions to the rule.

He'll dress neatly, speak with gentle diction, be as clean as a bar of Ivory soap, and probably have a desk that's so tidy it looks positively naked. You may come across a Virgo with a slightly cluttered office, but never fear. His mind isn't cluttered. He knows the exact order of the apparent disorder, and just where to put his finger on whatever he wants. His desk may look like a heap of trash to you, but he knows the whereabouts of every postage stamp and paper clip.

When Virgos become really noticeably untidy, either at home or at work, it's almost always a symptom of emo?_tional unhappiness-just as the same thing is true of a Sagittarian who suddenly becomes neat and meticulous.

Bite your tongue when you get an urge to criticize a Virgo's work. He'll probably catch his own mistakes before you do. Any necessary criticism should be given briefly and quietly, and any unnecessary criticism should be for?_gotten. It takes very little to warm his heart to loyalty and gratitude, but it also takes very little to cause Virgo to bristle and fret and sulk. Still, as quick as he is to pout over imagined slights, he's just as quick to help without being asked when you're in trouble. During a real crisis, you'll swear he's grown two feet taller.

Never force Virgos to work around wild, bright colors. It disturbs their quiet inner nature. Give them the most modern, most efficient equipment you can afford, and they'll make good use of it. They don't like noise and confusion when they work. They also don't like irregular schedules. Let them have a regular day off and stick to it. They'll work overtime if you need them, but they hate the insecurity and confusion of changing shifts.

Their emo?_tional requirements are hidden, but they are there just the same, and a certain amount of open appreciation may be desperately needed.

Although the typical Virgo seldom indulges in esoteric or imaginative work, you will occasionally find a few who do. But remember that they are still Virgos. The Virgo astrologer will split hairs over his occult investigation, the Virgo poet will use precise meter, the Virgo painter will concentrate on detail and the Virgo actor or actress will ma.ster the perfect dialect or accent for the role with pains?_taking study. Never let it throw you when someone born under a certain Sun sign doesn't seem to be doing what cotnes naturally, as far as his choice of career is concerned. Ke;ep observing and you'll see he's still being true to his basic nature.

'Once you've gradually moved your Virgo employee from the bottom (where he won't mind starting, by the w% y) to the position of your right-hand man or your gal Friday, you can relax and really play some golf for a chiange, content in the knowledge that someone totally reliable is covering you back at the office. Of course, you m,ay feel a little guilty when you return, under the re-prroachful expression in those lovely, clear Virgo eyes. You niiean you never noticed how attractive your Virgo em-plloyee is? Look again.

Will you, won't you, will you, won't you, will you join the dance?

The further off from England, the nearer is to France.

"Contrariwise," continued Tweedledum, "if it was so, it might be;

and, if it were so, it would be;

but as it isn't, it ain't.

That's logic."

MOAR INFORMATION 😄. From Liz Greene, a Virgo herself:

From the book "Astrology for Lovers," written by Liz Green.

Virgo


He may live with a mess on the living room carpet,
but you can bet he's cleaning up his psyche.

To begin with, we can throw away everybody's favourite image of that eternal ashtray-emptier and furniture-duster. The neat, orderly, tidy soul with the perfectly balanced bank account and the immaculate kitchen is a picture which sends most Virgos into fits of cynical laughter. And even the virtuous, virginal lady with the unbound hair (discreetly clothed) who adorns jewelry and zodiacal knick-knacks doesn't have much to do with our theme either. For some rather elusive reasons - reasons which just might lie, as so much astrological misunderstanding does, in the attempt during medieval times to Christianize or make 'moral' a symbolic system that is far older and more inclusive than Christianity - Virgo is sadly misinterpreted. Some signs come out rather badly when you try to moralize symbols into social concepts, and Virgo and Scorpio have been hit the hardest - you're caught between the eternal secretary and the eternal sex maniac. Well, like many Scorpios, Virgos are getting pretty resentful about all this misrepresentation. Especially the untidy ones, who are quite shamelessly slovenly and not in the least concerned with whether they arrive at one minute before eight or one minute after. It has been suggested that Virgos have not yet come into their own because the real ruler of Virgo - Vulcan - has not yet been discovered. There has been, however, a discovery made of a strange little 'planet' between Saturn and Uranus, which astronomers were quick to call Chiron for reasons best known to themselves but which might just fill the bill. We don't know yet. Never mind. What is Virgo really about, if not the eternal janitor of the zodiac?

Let's bear in mind first of all that each sign has a deep, fundamental drive in it, a basic motivation which always spurs the individual whether he is aware of it or not. This basic drive shows in different ways for different people. We've already touched on these - how, for example, the drive toward understanding that motivates Sagittarius makes some Centaurs travelers and others scholars. Physical or emotional or mental, the expression still comes from the same source. And suffice it to say that Virgo's basic drive isn't toward cleanliness.

It has been suggested that perfectionism is a Virgo characteristic. I haven't found this to be the case. Discrimination, yes. Absolutely. No one is more discriminating than Virgo. A simple yes or a simple no doesn't work; it's yes to this part and possibly to that part and probably no to the middle one unless A or B can be changed, and certainly no to the last. Never black and white. Black and white choices imply a simple universe, and to Virgo the universe is rarely simple. It's more like a huge, boundless jigsaw puzzle, and it drives Virgo crazy if he hasn't got a picture of he puzzle on the top of the box before he begins to assemble the puzzle. Discrimination is a finely developed faculty with Virgo. You can see it in his choice of friends, lovers, food, ideas, life style , clothes, reading, artistic taste, or any other area where choices are to be made. But to be a perfectionist means you have to be idealistic, since you have to have an ideal of what constitutes the perfect. And Virgo is no idealist. It's one of the most realistic, possibly the most realistic sign of the zodiac. Virgo harbours no possible rosy versions of a perfect utopian world, or even a perfect utopian kitchen. Virgo uses what comes to hand, what appears on the plate. The element of earth, remember, is the element that pertains to acceptance of earth plane reality. And no perfectionist ever accepted reality.

It has been suggested, too, that there are two types of Virgos, the neat ones and the sloppy ones. This is probably true as far as it goes. There are two types of any sign - the introverted and extroverted. The extroverted version of any zodiacal sign tends to express himself out in the world. So the extroverted Aries finds challenges in the world, the extroverted Sagittarian explores the world, the extroverted Pisces projects his visions into the world, and so on. The extroverted Virgo no doubt tries to apply his need to classify and order and synthesize at a worldly level. The introverted versions of the signs express their natures through an inner reality. So the introverted Capricorn is spiritually or psychologically ambitious, the introverted Sagittarian travels the boundless leagues of the mind and spirit, the introverted Pisces communes with the depths of his own inner ocean with its mysterious denizens, and the introverted Virgo attempts to synthesize and order himself.

Which means that the sink may well accumulate a truly ripe treasure-trove of week-old dishes, the house may accumulate a formidable array of objects in general disarray, and the world may go well to pieces so far as Virgo is concerned - so long as he's performing that long, alchemical labour within his own depths, on himself.

Notice that word synthesis. It offers much more of a key to Virgo's basic motivation than perfectionism. Synthesis means bringing together different things, like a good cook performing miracles of culinary genius with a random array of leftover bits from yesterday's meals. Synthesis also means finding compatible things or ideas or aspects of life which most people find mutually exclusive. Virgo's compulsion and gift both lie in this area of synthesis. Everything must be fitted together and made to blend. That means finding out where everything fits by naming it, learning about it, categorizing it, classifying it. A friend of mine once referred to Virgo as the Great Classifier. With mercury, god of intelligence and communication, as the present ruler of the sign, you'd expect a love of acquiring knowledge. The difference between Virgo and Gemini, however, both of which are ruled by Mercury, is that Gemini loves bits and snippets of knowledge for their own sake. For Virgo, knowledge is relevant only if it's useful.

So in a way, you can say that this internal voice is always echoing in poor Virgo's mind with every new experience he meets. 'How can I synthesize it?', he says, and then, 'How can I use it?' If I can't synthesize it, he'll pretend it doesn't exist, or begin a dogged pursuit of names and definitions which will allow him to pigeonhole that experience to make it manageable. If it can't be used, he'll discard it with a certain flippant arrogance. Yes, that's fine for more impractical souls.

The drive to discriminate sometimes makes Virgo harsh. He will throw aside people or ideas or careers or things of beauty because they may not be effectual or applicable to what he considers practical reality. Sometimes he throws romance out as well, which is a tragic thing since you then find that type of Virgo for whom life is work and drudgery. Often he's a cynic, looking at reality with jaundiced eyes; he knows perfectly well that you have to be clever to survive, and he's prepared to hustle a little and make the effort of polishing the goods because that makes them more saleable.

If he's going to do something, he'll do it well, both from pride in craftsmanship and from a good marketing sense. Idealistic perfection? Hardly. Sometimes the only tidy thing you see around Virgo is his bookshelf, for many Virgos respect to an inordinate degree the entire field of knowledge. His books are to him the personifications of his mind, and his mind is often like one of those intricate workings of a delicate Swiss watch, carelessly moving and cataloguing and reflecting and considering and labeling. He may live with a heap on the living room carpet, but you can bet he's cleaning up his psyche. A lot of Virgos take to astrology like ducks to water - that is, if they can ever get over the resistance to the aura of vague spiritualism which popular columns have mistakenly cast upon the study - because astrology and other cosmological maps offer them confirmation that the universe is basically orderly, and that God Himself is innately tidy.

The impulse to be of service also runs strong in Virgo. Virgos need to be needed, and they need to be useful. The typical Virgo is not particularly ambitious; he lacks the onesidedness necessary to go after one goal wholeheartedly. In many ways his tendency to look for wider and wider pieces to complete the great jigsaw puzzle takes away any propensity for him to focus everything on one piece. It's a rare Virgo who aims for the position of obvious power. Most of the time you find them as advisors or counselors to someone else who's silly enough to have taken the throne and subjected himself to all that trouble. Virgo, clever as always, prefers to lurk behind the throne and keep himself out of the line of fire. Realistic, remember? Foolhardy Leos and Ariens and Capricorns aim for the top. Virgo knows that what comes up must come down; he'd rather keep his feet on the ground, thank you very much. Unless a Virgo has a lot of Leo in his chart, or the sun strongly placed in the horoscope, you'll usually only meet him through his work, rather than through his outgoing personality. Most characteristic Virgos are quite shy, or if not actually retiring, then subtler and quieter than their friends born under other signs. Being earthy, Virgo does like his security, and the need for security is often a problem because it keeps Virgo from trying out creative possibilities that require daring and a little bit of gamble. Ask a typical Virgo to gamble and he'll get a white, shocked look.

Gamble? How horrible! You never know when life might deal you a blow; better to plan and prepare for the future. You often meet Virgos who have been rooted in rather limiting jobs for many years, where their natural intelligence and imagination are stifled, because of the wonderful security of that regular salary cheque. Besides, Virgo is more curious about what makes the wheels on the car run than he is being the driver and entering the race. He's a student and observer of life rather than a gambler or an entrepreneur. It's said that Virgos make better servants than rulers. This is undoubtedly true. Remember the historical characters like Cardinal Richelieu. Being a power behind the throne suits the Virgo very well. Craftsmanship and craftiness often run together in this subtle sign. Mercury, in mythology, was also the god of thieves and liars, and presided over the business deal.

There's another trait, sometimes endearing and sometimes infuriating, that's worth noting here about Virgo. This is his obsessiveness. He may be obsessive about order or tidiness in the obvious way, but equally often he's obsessive about emotional orderliness and tidiness. That is, never show your own emotional weaknesses. Virgo is a great controller of emotion. In fact, if you watch a more obsessional Virgo for a while, you begin to get the queer feeling that he's organizing rituals to keep the forces of darkness at bay. Whether it's the object-obsessive Virgo who puts all the yellow shirts on the left side of the cupboard and falls into a hysterical fit if you introduce a blue one, or the tightlipped emotionally constricted Virgo who analyses everything in a kind of frenzied desire to keep any ripped psychological seam from showing, the root is the same. You guessed it. All that chaos and emotional sensitivity and sloppiness, and romanticism and vision lurk secretly in the recesses of Virgo's soul. He has to fight against his own chaos far too often to be tolerant of vagueness and woolliness in others or in the world around him. There's too much of it in him. Virgo's apparent hardness and ruthlessness - no sign is quite so adept at saying 'no' - is often his way of protecting himself against an intolerable insensitivity. His famous meanness - and no doubt about it, many Virgos are really mean with money - is often a cover-up for a streak of innate extravagance.

And his insistent compulsion to stick to practical realities helps him to escape the mystic in his own soul.

A queer bird, Virgo. Not far beneath the cool and analytic veneer you find a sentimental romantic. Virgo may be brusque in manner, and don't try to borrow money unless you've proven you can repay it. You'll rarely find Virgo as you find Pisces, who will offer his last pound to the drunk in Piccadilly Circus. Virgo's more likely to deliver a stern and frequently insufferably irritating lecture about self-help. But often this is because he's too acutely aware of the drunks, derelicts, rejects and flotsam of life, and has a real horror that he might become one himself. Planning for and guaranteeing the safety of the future is an obsession with Virgo, because his acute sense of the world as it is often makes it hard for him to have faith or trust in life. He can't cope with that reality he's so plugged into. It threatens his sense of stability. So he shuts it out - discriminating like mad against any elements of it he can't deal with - and looks out for number one. You'll often find Virgo being generous and apparently altruistic, giving freely of his time and skills, especially when it comes to teaching somebody how to do something. He loves to show his competence and is genuinely generous in sharing his knowledge. But you'll rarely find Virgo giving beyond that ring-pass-not. He usually learns his lesson early. It's almost as though he has a secret Piscean in him somewhere. And he's learned Pisces' lesson - with no boundaries comes self-disintegration. After all, it's only realistic.

*necromancing this to post something I found on FB*

"Virgo woman – August 24 – September 23

Introduction:


Are you attracted to that reserved, polite, politically-correct and emotionally disciplined Virgo woman? She appears reserved, but she can be quite a chatter box too. She is polite but if you hurt her ego, she can sting like a bee. And emotionally- disciplined? That’s a mere masquerade. She is as emotional as the next girl, but believes intensely in hiding her emotions. With a hint of lethargy and a tinge of Nosey Parker, the Virgo woman’s personality has almost all shades of the spectrum.

How to identify a Virgo woman in a crowd?

My estimate says 60% of Virgo women are aggressive and 40% are passive. It is not difficult to identify them in a crowd. Almost all of them like to talk a lot and speak at the speed of lightening, just like Aquarius women. When it comes to fitting maximum words in one breath Virgo women can give Aquarian females a run for their money. I have also noticed that Virgo women like to gossip and sometimes they seem to mind other people’s business more than their own.

Compared to their male counterpart they are quick at making friends and are usually very social. However, there are about 15% of Virgo women who are reserved and introverted.

While observing them, I realized that they are extremely sharp and very quick on the uptake. Depending on their mood they can be quite witty and funny too. They seem to have an uncanny way of matching the wavelength and thought process of a man, which makes them more compatible with men. Ergo Virgo women have a lot of male friends.

What to expect from her on the following points?

Appearance: The aggressive kind of Virgo woman is expressive and is capable of emoting and smiling with her eyes. Her eyes have a distinct quality of catching your attention with the multitude of emotions in there. The passive kind of Virgo woman is extremely warm and friendly and is also very caring about her friends and loved ones. However, both kinds have a subtle dressing sense… nothing loud works for them. You will usually find them dressed as occasion demands. They seem to be obssesed with shoes and handbags and now I know how so many stores survive.

Ambition: There is a wide chasm between the ambitious and the non-ambitious Virgo women. About 80% of them are ambitious while the rest 20% are sheer lazy.

Since we are discussing ambition here I would like to elaborate about the 80% category of ambitious Virgo women. Independent minded and determined, she is often seen having preferences for print or television media or the hospitality/airline industry. She is equally detailed and meticulous about her work and home chores.

What does she want from life?

I think the passive kind of Virgo woman can remain content with what life has offered her, but the aggressive kind in her own subtle way has an endless wish list.

An aggressive Virgo female is rarely satisfied with ordinary living and always aspire for a better lifestyle. This is purely my observation that she needs support in everything she does – at work, with emotions and in almost every walk of life. So in most cases she becomes dependent on others for her performance in whatever character she plays in life.

What is her approach to life?

A Virgo woman can undoubtedly be both realistic and practical but she is governed by her moods and the extent of her practicality largely depends on that. She is less emotional and sentimental but more sensitive. This could be another reason why she has more male friends. She is also dreamy and idealistic.

She finds it easier to follow than lead. Although she has a strong opinion about everything she is comfortable at following rather than leading. This could also be because of fear of failure, in which case she wouldn’t want to take the responsibility.

Is there something more to her persona?

Yes, there is! A Virgo woman is a stickler for punctuality. She cannot abide late comers and her patience runs low when she is waiting for someone. Although not short tempered, she can let her lid fly when her expectations are not met with… especially about things she cares. According to me, she would score an nine on ten for punctuality.

Her ambitious drive is well backed with a hard working spirit. Given her analytical mind, she knows that nothing can be achieved without sincere efforts. However, when it comes to work or relationship, she is quite conservative in her attitude and you may have a difficult time to get her to accept new ideas.

When dating a Virgo woman, you should…

…be her friend first! Getting a Virgo woman to date you isn’t an easy task. She seems hard to get as she lacks emotional expression. But if you are friends with her, it would be easy to break her self-imposed barricade.

A Virgo girl is conservative. She is a straightforward, traditional-minded girl and loves routine. Even if you take her to her favourite restaurant every day, she would be as pleased as punch.

She is a stickler for cleanliness. She likes people and things around her to be neat and tidy. Make sure you are well groomed while dating her. You may not be wearing the clothes that are in vogue, but as long as they are clean and well-ironed, she would be impressed. And here’s a tip—don’t wear a strong perfume. Virgo girls are sensitive to strong smells.

Be careful with your spending. The Virgo girl will appreciate that. She also loves Nature and nothing can win her heart like a serene Nature walk. But make sure you have a cozy armchair ready for her at the end of it all…she will welcome your gesture. Her satisfaction will be evident from the glow on her cheeks and the spark in her eyes.

How is she when in love?

Hmm… before I answer that one let me tell you what love is for a Virgo woman. There is only one definition of love for her… true, pure and exclusive. She will not tolerate passing affairs or insincere feelings. Once her heart is set on something, she will move with a determined gait to achieve it. But let not all this talk of determination and ambition make you think she is masculine. No ways! This one is a complete woman and a strong one at that.

While courting her you will have to keep a lot of things in mind. Firstly, etiquettes… this lady is a classic nit-picker when it comes to mannerisms and social behaviour. She will watch you with a hawk’s eye and will be satisfied only if you match up to her rather high standards of decorum. Secondly, underplay… she dislikes loud and brash behaviour, especially if it is about love. Public display of love is a big no-no with her. So keep it simple and subtle and of course genuine. And throw in plenty of charm and before long you will be humming the Jackson classic “The girl is mine…”

ADDED on 29th August 2013:

How is she in various relationship roles?

A Virgo woman can be extremely dependable and responsible as a daughter, provided she has had a happy childhood. She will remain devoted to her parents if she has been properly raised and looked after.

As a wife, she will excel in her duties as she takes her responsibilities very seriously. With a Virgo woman fora wife you will have no complaints about love and devotion. Moreover, she is also an excellent home maker. Since she likes to be in control she regards her home as her castle and does everything in her power to protect it. Also, being in charge at home she gets to do what she pleases. I have also found many Virgo women enjoying housekeeping duties and other related chores like cleaning,cooking, gardening, etc.

Being dedicated in every sense of the word, Virgo women prove themselves to be genuine friends. They usually wouldn’t have a huge circle of friends, but the ones that they do befriend…they’d hold them very close to their heart.

Virgo man - August 24 – September 23

Introduction:


Practicality rules the mind of a typical Virgo male. He thinks, acts and sometimes even dreams logically. The best way to be around him is to ‘cut the fuss’. He has a repulsion for flowery language or unnecessary emotional gestures. If there’s someone who likes to travel light, it’s him. With a Virgo man, no emotional baggage please! Although emotional himself, he is not likely to understand the state of emotions in others. And when in love he needs ample of room… to be himself, to do his thing, and to take off if required.

Behind his serious expression is a mind that loves to laugh. I say mind because he likes intelligent humour and not slapstick comedy. He is knowledgeable and opinionated and shrewd enough not to let others, especially strangers, see the hand that is being dealt to him. A man who knows his mind and understands his needs – a man who frequently asks himself ‘what’s in it for me?’, that’s a typical Virgo guy.

How to identify a Virgo man?

A Virgo man is quiet and reserved, not much into initiating conversation unless spoken to. He is the type of person who would take initiative only if he has a motive. Only if you possess a hobby like mine of observing people and their behaviour will you be able to spot a Virgo man. Here again I am at a loss on how to classify Virgo men into aggressive and passive categories because I have observed that Virgo men behave aggressively only when provoked or pushed.

While in a conversation they might display interest in keeping it interactive, they usually spend time getting their point across. They are also very opinionated.

How does he score on the following points?

Cynicism: I have observed that 70% of Virgo men are cynical. Sometimes being cynical can be a good thing because it can bring forth the zing required to achieve success. It can bring out the best in you. If used correctly, cynicism can be a great motivator. Somehow most Virgo men have the tact to use it positively. The flipside is given a situation of dispute/disagreement their cynical side gets them into awkward situations.

Suspicion: A Virgo man on suspicion… yes and no. ‘Yes’ because he is suspicious when it comes to his career and achievements and ‘no’ because he isn’t suspicious about his relationships. He is possessive about his achievements and personal belongings. With his work and people related to work, he is forever on his guard, especially regarding money matters. Regarding his relationships he displays a secure and non-caring attitude. He is not likely to be suspicious except when given a reason to doubt.

Jealousy: A definite YES! A Virgo man can be jealous and very easily so. If at work or business his direct competition scores over him, our man can go green with envy. He finds it difficult to stand someone else’s success, if that person is in the same field of work. The reason for this… he thinks he deserves it more than the next man. On relationship front, he can be extremely jealous if his girlfriend or wife displays interest in another man.

What does a Virgo man want from life?

Well, this question cannot be answered in a word or two as the list of his desires is endless. Not only does he want everything from life, he also wants to be good at everything he does… the best in the industry or field as they say. Definitely not one to be satisfied with an ordinary life, he is perceptive enough to make do with low standards while he is struggling. But he has the girth and determination to achieve his targets. And a quality life is one of his targets.

What is his characteristic weakness?

Although I have mentioned his characteristic weakness earlier, I would like to elaborate on it here. His chief shortcoming is his disability to create and maintain relationships. He avoids people generally and is not particular about keeping up friends and acquaintances. Yet he is dependent on them for one thing or the other. This habit makes him come across as selfish and self-centered. And who isn’t sensitive to such behaviour?

What is his approach to life?

A Virgo man is not very realistic. But he is practical enough to know that life is full of ups and downs and since he likes new challenges his pragmatism is of great use to him. On an emotional level he is rather partial… not so emotional about others and quite emotional about himself. He is also sentimental.

Given his ambitiousness, a Virgo man is quite a dreamer. He believes in dreaming big and achieving big. He is fine with someone else taking the lead, but only till he learns the tricks of the trade. From there on he would prefer being the ultimate leader.

ADDED on 29th August 2013:

How is he on the professional front?

The fact that he is great at planning, ideating and organising, enables a Virgo man to be good at work. As an employee, he will excel in any given task and will outdo his co-workers— firstly, as he is ambitious and secondly, because he is competitive. He is also the one with bright ideas and solutions. A thinker and a practical man…or let’s say a ‘practical thinker’, a Virgo male is efficient at any given job. He also makes for a good colleague as he tends to understand rather too well the maths of dependability.

However, his analytical mind and criticising nature can sometimes be a hindrance. Since he sets standards that are too high for himself as well as others, it is difficult to please him. But when at work, his commitment, sincerity and ability to work hard is unquestionable.

Given all their faults (who hasn’t got faults anyways!),Virgo men are intelligent and shrewd. Combined with an excellent memory and a sharp mind, it arms them with all the attributes of being good entrepreneurs.Most of them have innate business acumen and the necessary drive to succeed.Above all, they are quite rational in their thinking and astute in money matters—those being the all important ingredients of a good businessman.

How is he when in love?

Just like how he is on any regular day. There is no difference between a Virgo man in love and a Virgo man not in love. Like I said before he finds it difficult to emote and even when in love, you will not find anything lover-like in his behaviour. Also he is a hardcore practical man… the proverbial man of the world so nothing he does is for the sake of sentiments and emotions. If you are expecting scented love letters and sweet nothings from your lover… you are clearly with the wrong man.

Maintaining a love relationship with a Virgo man is like being in a chemistry lab – everything has to be mixed in the right way in the right amount. Otherwise fireworks are in order! To get the best out of your Virgo man you have to maintain the right amount of closeness and the right amount of distance with him. He wants to be loved but not overburdened with it. Overt display of emotions can turn him off, so keep everything subtle.

When dating a Virgo man, you should…

… make the first move. And if you think it sounds un-ladylike or needy you can steer away from the Virgo guy. If you are waiting for him to ask you out, chances are it won’t happen for a long long time.

Before dating a Virgo man you need to learn certain lessons about this guy and his nature. While he is a funny and intelligent friend and a wonderful companion, with dating he sort of breaks all the rules. Romantic in his own peculiar way, he can re-define the role of a Romeo, if not the term ‘love’ itself. In a word, expect the unexpected while dating a Virgo guy.

Lesson one: He won’t chase you no matter how beautiful, intelligent or rich you are. Although he appreciates these qualities in a woman, he always thinks there are plenty of girls out there for him and he won’t take much effort at convincing you to date him.

Lesson two: His serious expression and un-emotional stance is a façade. He is basically insecure about getting hurt and therefore limits the amount of true emotions on display. But deep down, he is sensitive and loveable. Don’t get fooled with his unenthusiastic response to your advances.

starwars:"here have this heart as my fan"

starwars (walking away under her breath): "you'll never get the real feels, though..."

ands:"... what?"

starwars (turns around) :"yes, what? what did I just say? TELL ME WHAT I SAID."

ands: @_@ Jesus.

starwars: "TELL ME WHY IT'S WRONG."
....I am stickler for accuracy.

Not one contrarian bone in my body.

Virgo in Love

Goodness know why word has it that Virgos are the staunch realists of the zodiac - the sign that is to romance what chalk is to cheese - but ignorance breeds many falsehoods. In truth Ms Virgo yearns to be swept away by love and passion and longs to find her soul-mate. However, since her logical mind informs her that this probably won't happen - at least in this lifetime - she makes an awful lot of noise about love being the holy grail of the seriously misguided. (She really doesn't mean it and she's hoping against hope that one day she'll be proved wrong.)

You and your opposite sign, the mystical and dreamy Fish, have more in common than you may think. The main difference is that while Ms Pisces dives into love and allows herself to be totally submerged by the experience, Virgo stands on the edge of those deep waters, analysing the pros and cons, until she convinces herself that her wetsuit will protect her. At some point, usually after several painful excursions into love, you realize that you cannot seal yourself off from hurt because it is the handmaid of love.

For some reason, perhaps because you can't resist lost causes, your sign picks up more than its share of life's dependents and misfits as partners, men who use and abuse you. This doesn't have to be a life-long pattern, of course, but the trend towards sacrificing yourself through a relationship needs to be faced and understood, so that you will attract a sane, loving and supportive mate. Part of the problem revolves around self-esteem, or the lack of it, and as soon as you get the idea that you deserve to be loved, like magic, it happens.

Forget all that nonsense about Virgo being the librarian and the caretaker of the zodiac - you are a sensuous, resourceful and fascinating creature. Now, repeat after me: I am desirable. I am a wild thing. I deserve the best.

The Virgoan Man

Virgo men do not draw attention to themselves: they insinuate their way into your life. Somehow they appear from behind the scenes and steel your heart: they were just a friend, maybe a no strings attached one-night-stand, yet before you know it you have become reliant on their know-how, happy to be an audience for their dry humour and pithy comments, and, well, used to them. To be honest, Mr Virgo can be tricky: he's emotionally very self-contained and not open to intimacy - a stark contrast to his passion and his performance under the sheets, or anywhere come to that - he's quite the dark horse. This man is drawn to highly-sexed and colourful, spontaneous women of the fire and air variety, yet when it comes to marriage (usually late and sometimes never) he'll go for a safe bet.

Who's For You

Your fellow Mutable signs top the list of candidates for your heart - Sagittarius, Gemini, Pisces and Virgo. Sagittarian men are just the most dazzling, devil-may-care hunks where you're concerned: they make you laugh, keep you guessing and defrost any icicles that may have formed around your heart. Yet in the long term you may find your Archer a little too casual, irresponsible and inconsiderate for you. The Gemini is another irresistible catch-me-if-you-can guy: you two never stop talking (or is that arguing?) and even though this relationship may not fulfil the promise of its sexual overture, you can manage a happy-ever-after story. Pisces is your near-perfect mate - sentimental, tolerant, forgiving and loving: sex is a crucial part of your relationship and can be sustained for many, many years. Another Virgo alternately captivates and irritates you, but a good long-term bet. Cancer and Scorpio are two other signs made to make you happy - these two signs appreciate your fine qualities and rub along with you very, very nicely.
