Virgo: The Amorous Nature
YOU AND THE VIRGO WOMAN
She keeps her passions under a tight rein, but underneath emotions are surging. Outwardly she may appear calm, sometimes even remote and unreachable, for the quintessential Virgo has a serene, almost classic repose. Yet hers is one of the most conflicted signs.
Basically, Virgo woman distrusts and is a little afraid of emotion. To her it represents the unknown, turbulent sea on which she may be set adrift without map or compass or rudder. because of this a man may wonder if she isn't a bit cold. She isn't. Virgo's enormous capacity for loving will pour out, as from a rich treasury, once her emotions are unlocked. Virgo is a much misunderstood sign, and Virgo women particularly are often characterized as timid, evasive, reserved. This is also untrue. What Virgo women do have is self-possession, a sense of passion that is controlled by discipline.
Virgo is an earth sign, and like all the earth signs (Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn) she is an enigmatic combination of sensuality and conservatism. The Virgo woman likes men, but she is very careful about allowing herself to become too involved with them. She fears being trapped into a long term living arrangement with the wrong man. Before she marries or enters into a meaningful affair, she is careful to take note where the exit doors are. For a Virgo woman, falling in love can take a long time. She moves forward step by step, revealing the layers of her deep sensitivity, learning to trust.
She is discriminating. Rather than go out with a man who doesn't interest her, she'll stay home and read a good book. This does not mean (as some have tried to imply) that she thinks lovemaking is a poor substitute for a good book. It's just that she doesn't mind waiting for Mr. Right to come along. When he does he will find behind her cool facade a real woman waiting, warm and responsive. Meanwhile, her off-putting manner has served a useful purpose. It kept Mr. Wrong from intruding where he was not wanted.
The real clue to understanding Virgo woman's amorous nature is to remember that she believes in true love. When she truly loves, her inhibitions are never in control of her passions. However, this is not a woman you can take for granted. You must strive hard to win her, please her, fulfill her. If you can, you will have a partner who pays you back in lifelong dividends of love, loyalty, and happiness.
VIRGO AND VIRGO All is smooth sailing as long as these perfectionists curb their instincts for finding fault. Actually, they bring out the very best in each other. They are responsible, sensitive, intelligent, and take love seriously. They also share passions of the mind, and will never bore each other. Both think that there are more important things in life than sex; they may end up just talking in bed. There will probably be a continue contest over who is leader, but they have too much else in common for that to matter.

The Virgo Woman
If you're looking for the perfect housekeeper and have just read somewhere that Virgo women are masters (or mistresses) of the art, you should probably bestow your insult on some other sign. The main gift of the Virgo woman is her intelligence, not her orderliness; and when you find the compulsive housebound type who dusts three times a day then you're courting trouble because you've got yourself a Virgo who's fallen into the shadow side of the sign. And all that good housekeeping will pale into insignificance beside the shrewishness which goes with it. This isn't, we repeat, what Virgo is about. As a by-product it can be a nice bonus, and there are plenty of Virgo women who take an interest in their homes and like an orderly environment. But Virgo as it expresses itself through the feminine psyche seems to be about things like good taste, and subtlety, and understanding, and a keen wit about people and life.
There are catches, of course. The self-contained figure of myth is very much in evidence in the Virgo woman, and it's often difficult for Virgo to really be 'married' in any deep sense of the word. There's a quality about the Virgo woman which is psychologically untouchable, and if you try to invade it you get the same reaction as if you tried physical rape. Virgo women aren't usually the clinging, helpless type. More often they're amazons who show a frightening degree of capability and efficiency, either on a physical level or a mental one - or even sometimes both. Good points for Women's Lib, but bad points if you want to be the sun around which a happily reflecting moon orbits.
For one thing, Virgo women have opinions. Mercury's connection with the sign seems to come out in a need to communicate, to talk, sometimes to simply gossip and chat. Many Virgo women talk endlessly. Sometimes it can make you cover your ears and begin screaming, just to make the sound stop. It may not be the traditional Virgo criticism, either. It may be all about the latest book she read, or the film she saw, or the person she's lately been taking apart and analyzing psychologically. Virgos love to talk about other people, in great detail. So if you're after the beautiful, silent type, forget it. Virgo women also have a sometimes admirable, sometimes infuriating propensity to question your word and your knowledge, too. Tell her something and she'll ask the source, complete with footnotes. Virgo tends to believe not to believe anybody else until the definitive reference work becomes available. It's hard to be more knowledgeable than a Virgo, because they won't allow it. It's got a good and bad side. It does wonders for your intellectual scope, and horrors for your ego.
Many Virgo women come close to the figure of the Earth Mother, because the peculiar sensitivity of the sign expresses itself through a love of nature and a healing and skillful touch with all crafts. It seems to be a typical Virgo skill to have a 'knack' with handicrafts of all kinds. The arts for their own sake rarely attract Virgo, because things must be useful to be relevant. But the Virgo woman displays immense skill at gardening, and craftsmanship in many areas. And the quality of needing to be needed which attracts so many Virgos into the helping professions, from nursing to dieticians to psychologists and counselors, is very much an aspect of the Great Mother archetype which is connected with the sign.
The thing is, you often have to find it behind the high-strung nervous system, the edginess, the need for solitude, the apparent coolness and detachment. It's hard for a Virgo woman to be spontaneous. Often she can only show love and affection by doing physical things for you. The situation applies here as to the Virgo male: emotion and passion are disturbing and frightening, and can only be expressed in an atmosphere of complete trust. Break that trust and you'll get the sarcastic, cutting edge of the Virgo tongue, which can be really vicious because she's been observing with minute care all the weaknesses and foibles which you didn't think anybody noticed. Virgo women have a disconcerting habit of noticing the carefully hidden frayed cuff, the razor nick, the scuffed shoe, the word-slip, the nervous twitch you thought you were controlling. They observe minute things because for Virgo the vast spectrum of life is best reflected in the small. For the Virgo woman, the great art is the art of the small.
It may be appropriate to remind you again of those Virgos who are anything but tight-lipped spinstership shrews: the Greta Garbos and Sophia Lorens and Jacqueline Bissetts of the world. But you can see a thread which runs through these women as well as every other Virgo woman, from Lauren Bacall (another Virgo) to Twiggy. Notice the attention given to skill. Whatever Virgo does, it does well, and Virgo women are no exception. These are skilled actresses, with polish and impeccable performance. Whether cooking or sculpting or teaching or whatever, Virgo women take pride in their skill. Appreciate it and you'll earn her warmth. Ignore it or undervalue it, and you've made a ghastly mistake. And if you're one of those men who doesn't think it's appropriate for a woman to be skilled in anything except pleasing a man, you're courting real trouble with a Virgo woman. Curiously, Virgo needs lots of respect - a need which isn't always evident in the other signs, which are less likely to identify with their skills. Also notice the quality of cool self-containment about these women. Married or not, they all radiate some mysterious aloofness which is not so much a 'keep out' sign as a 'welcome, but respect my separateness'. It's evident even in the heat of sexual passion or intense emotion with Virgo. Self-contained. If you can learn to deal with the shadowy side, the know-it-all quality, the occasional fits of ordering and tidying either the environment or you, then you can reach the other side of Virgo. Isn't it nice to be able to appreciate someone who is capable of being her own person? While all women, and all people, ultimately strive for this, Virgo makes a career and sometimes an art of it. Virgo won't adore you blindly. She'll more likely love you for your flaws and imperfections, because she's a realist and also it makes her feel needed. And it can either terrify a man into running eighty miles an hour in the opposite direction, or it can be a wonderful cooling bath to actually be able to be yourself. But then, it depends on the sort of man you are, doesn't it?

******************
The woman governed by Virgo cannot easily be won over. Her approach to life is direct and she can also be pessimistic, critical and something of a fusser. Yet, she is so elementally "earthy" in her judgments, that she is one of the few female types of the Zodiac who can be trusted in every way. This female frequently possesses the reasoning powers normally associated with the male population and she refuses to stoop to hiding this by adopting a veneer of helpless and feminine charm. Regardless, this woman is usually very feminine in appearance, generally being neat, small-boned and attractive. Beneath the surface, however, the Virgo female is quite severe in her moral judgments, despite frequently masking this with a smiling face that she presents to the world at large. This woman is by no means a spoil-sport...being tolerant and wise in many ways...but she does set such high standards for herself that she often virtually seethes with inner tension. Frequently intellectual with the gift of language or the powers of a retentive memory which aids her in passing examinations, the Virgo female is something of an academic type. All this can be rather intimidating and frightening for the ordinary individual. However, her countenance is certainly not lacking in attractive features and she can be counted among the more prettier types of the Zodiac. In addition, this woman can remain lively and vicacious well into old age. As a long term partner, she will constantly strive for perfection in every area, backing her mate in terms of career and putting her mate first while trying to be fairly self-effacing. As a mother, strangely enough, she can be relatively indulgent, taking infinite pains to understand her children. The Virgo woman is considered by many to be one of the most subtle and delicately-cast females to be found in the entire Zodiac.
A capable individual, the female ruled by Virgo will likely inhabit a spotless home. Ineed, she is a vigilant and efficient soul who can make most things run like a well-regulated machine. Still, her disposition often leaves something to be desired and perhaps her inherent need for routine proves in the end to be rather a strain. This is a woman who can easily become a fussy and nagging character who is fault-finding and overly-meticulous. In an emotional sense, the female governed by Virgo is frequently way below par. She responds to all the outward routines of life and meets traditional duties extraordinarily well...but she is rarely emotional and has a certain selfish coldness about her. This is a woman who is seldom too intense and takes life in a more-than-necessary practical fashion. The Virgo female believes that acceding to a partner's physical needs is base and probably below her dignity. A very clever individual who is deeply in love might possibly stand a chance of altering this frame of mind, but since the woman governed by this Sign rarely inspires such intensity of passion, her best hope is for a mate as restrained, practical and material as herself.
Since two individuals governed by Virgo share the same outlook on life, the reason for this relationship is apparent. Both are governed by mutual ideals and common sense. Plus, they have the same attitude toward money and finances. This pair also share another trait, that of being critical. Thus, this pair should have separate careers since each will turn a critical eye...and tongue...toward the other. Virgo natives are sticklers for details. Everything they do...from cooking to composing a grocery list...will be undertaken most laboriously. They are rarely if ever slapdash in their methods and their thinking is highly logical...so much so that given the time to dwell on themselves, they will create and live in something of a logical little world, barely making room for the imaginary, fun pursuits or fantasy. Physical intimacy is probably not what will hold this pair together. If one partner here makes a mistake, then the other can be cruel and hurtful with his or her remarks. However, given time, a warm and affectionate bond will probably be established between these two...a bond that could keep the relationship alive and flourishing, provided they can weather all the critical storms this union is sure to bring about. Although this could easily be a nerve-wracking union, it can be made to work if there is an abundance of love on both sides.
In a Virgo/Virgo match, there is likely to be the structuring of lives in rather beautiful conjunction. In essence, the merger of two such incredibly practical and industrial souls makes for a devoted and doting couple, although public displays of affection will certainly be rare. Nevertheless, courtesy of the shared perfectionism and skepticism, there will doubtless be conflict. Still, Virgo is a level-headed Sign and any disputes will likely be resolved quickly, enabling this pair to move on to more pleasant times. In short, this union will probably run like a well-oiled machine...particuarly for couples who live together or where children are involved. There will never be any confusion regarding the delegation of responsibility and both partners will feel quite comfortable with this arrangement. Here, making lists, balancing accounts and keep the house and affair in good order are second nature to each individual. They share a discriminating palette and exquisite taste. Provided they refrain from being too harsh with one another, there is no reason why this cannot be a fulfilling union in every sense of the word.
Virgo is ruled by the planet Mercury, which is representative of communication. In terms of romance, each partner will be attuned to the other's frequencies. Virgo is often capable of reading the nuances of words and gestures...thus, taking in an analytical meaning. One of the strongest facets of this relationship is likely to be open and honest communication. This, coupled with the reasoning and logical abilities of two Virgo natives, could quite possible solve all the world's problems. In short, this couple make for a versatile and brilliant team. Virgo is governed by the element of Earth, thus indicating a practical nature. This pair will enjoy being surrounded by and owning items of elegance. Indeed, Virgo is rarely amenable to settling for second best, believing it is better to hold out for something perfect rather than allow for anything less. Virgo tends to exercise caution before moving forward. Its natives are the first to determine the most favorable course of action for everyone concerned...even if involves sacrifice. In addition, being on the same wave length, neither partner here will be offended by the other's fussy and picky nature. Virgo is Mutable in quality, easily adaptable to any situation or social setting. There will seldom be conflict between this pair but should it arise, it will be quickly brushed over. Neither will be overly pushy or domineering, and each individual will share an equal enthusiasm for the pursuits of the other. Virgo always follows through and this pairing doubles such energy, making for a happy couple. Perhaps the best aspect of a Virgo/Virgo match is the mutual levelheadedness and structured approach to life, work, fun and commitment. They are an incredibly compatible duo and this is obvious to themselves and to their friends.
In essence, this combination can be something of an odd pairing. Here, both partners have a tendency to find themselves in a battle where the respective opponents are evenly matched, and each will likely over-exaggerate the errors of the other. Still, this has the makings of a good relationship, provided each can refrain from talking the other to the point of distraction.
