If anyone wouldn't mind sharing their stories about friends/SO's who have a Virgo ascendant, it would be appreciated.
Main reason is to compare notes to a friend of mine who has the Virgo ascendant. She's an absolutely lovely lady but when it comes to men, she's frigid. Strangely enough, I've managed to break some barries down recently as a friend (though I am wishing for a little more).
Oh, ha I guess I didn't make my message clear. I'm not worried about my friend and what not. We may not go where I want to go, but it's been an interesting ride.
However, I was curious in general how people felt about any friends/SO's that had a Virgo ascendant and see how they compare to my friend.
It took me a LONG time from my first time meeting my friend to actually even talking to her. It took even longer still to get her to open up a little bit. Even when she did open up, she still didn't open up completely, choosing to only reveal what she wanted to reveal. I probably stepped acrossed the lines quite a few times which made her hide under her "shell" more before I realized it.
Yet despite this really reserved/closed persona, she really is a caring and sensitive person underneath.
I've learned to respect my friend's boundaries and let her "come to me" when she wants to. This seems to have improved our friendship. To be honest, while I hope there would be more to it, I have found that you never really know what's on my friend's mind. 😄
I have a couple of virgo placements which includes my rising. I have heard so many "frigid" stories I feel this topic is very misunderstood. I have been told that I am difficult to know by people who have lived with me for years even. And this sucks because I am a leo (roar.) and have a lot to say but just won't until I trust someone. Earth signs or people with strong earth placements move very slow and crave privacy. It takes a lot of patience if you desire to get to know one. I know a lot of people who have virgo rising and I think issues with shyness are stronger for the rising sign because it is "put out there" more and virgo is private. It takes awhile to get past this wall, Or to dig the head of one from out of the ground : ) It has to happen naturally and with time. Time may be based on sun sign and moon. It may not be that she is "frigid" around men. It may be that she is waiting for the "right" man. Or, perfect man 🙂 and shys away from those who don't feel right.
I think you are right. My friend is an Aries Sun and despite the supposedly outgoing nature of the Aries sign, her Virgo side really shines through.
I would agree with what you have said about letting things flow naturally with a Virgo Rising. My initial attempts to approach my friend years ago were met with a stony silence. It is through some fluke or luck that I managed to even form up a friendship with her.
Now, it has taken years but she seems to have finally opened up her "privacy doors" just a crack. She had been worried about some things lately and said one thing to me which really opened my eyes: "I Trust You".
Who knows where we are going, but I guess I will have to let time take it's course.
For my friend, who is not comfortable when men approach her, I guess I must have at least done something right. Either that or I was crazy/patient enough to keep trying. 🙂
ascendant is the mask that we wear, and we only put this mask away until we are comfortable with the person, if you get the drift. and since this is a virgo rising, it might take a bit longer to shatter. when she starts displaying the aries, then you've probably got her. i must admit, it's not going to be easy because her sun is in aries. virgo and aries are quincunx to each other and don't understand each other's energies, so she will have to drop one. signs that are inconjunct can't work together. if her moon can smooth this out, it might be a tad bit easier.
I think my friend struggles with her "dual" energies. Even some of her female friends say that she is hard to read sometime. Some days I see hints of her Aries side. Most of the time, her Virgo mask is shown.
Thanks for the thought. My friend has been more responsive recently. Well, been helping her out with some things and plus I am switching jobs soon. We will not be seeing each other as "much" anymore because I will no longer be working with her.
Not knowing what's on my friend's mind, I am debating whether I should send her a note letting her know I still have some feelings for her. We seemed to have naturally progressed positively recently and I do not want to disrupt the flow.
It would be an intereting pair if my friend and I got together (two Aries) 🙂

I just got off the phone with my ex-virgo of almost 8 years ago and he told me he was seperated. He got married about 4 years ago and told me he made a mistake. He said that his wife had it good but did not know how to appreciate it.
Ok...I'm use to playing the game with men (hey...I'm a Scorpio). However, at 37 I'm trying to let my guard/wall down a bit. After 5 hot and heavy dates w/ Virgo...he has gone completely cold.
Was with Virgo Wed. night into Thursday AM, saw him
