I have 5 planets in Scorp w/ Pluto in Virgo.

My soon-to-be ex husband is Taurus/Virgo/Virgo, and another man I've fallen in love with very recently is Virgo/Virgo/Scorp (moon).

I have a lot of encouters w/ Virgos in my life, some positive, some not so positive.

They are kinky?!
They are afraid of committment?!
They can't discuss their feelings (if mercury rules Virgo, and it's the planet of communication, why the hell can't these people communicate their feelings?)

I just can't believe what huge misconceptions I had of Virgo. I thought they were the accountants and long-term care-givers of the Zodiac (most older Virgos I've known were responsible for a infirm family member). Oh, and prude, I thought they were prude...guess not.

About commitment, it seems that once they commit, they really mean it. But before they do they want to make d@mn sure that it's the right thing to do. Emotions/communication... yes they can communicate, but it seems in my experience that they tend to intellectualize their feelings, so they have a harder time expressing their emotions. They can talk about them in such an impersonal way that it almost seems as though they are relaying someone else's information... like sometimes you hear what they're telling you in regard to their feelings, but you don't quite feel it from them. They tend to express their feelings by doing things for you, usually practical things that some people may not easily see as expressions of romantic love. A problem I've encountered with my particular virgo is that he can be overly concerned with keeping everything neat and tidy in the emotional arena, so sometimes he can sacrifice honesty for the sake of being polite. (He also has a lot of Libra influence, so he may try harder not to rock the boat than most Virgos. I don't know.) Kinky/prude... it seems to me that Virgos have a strong sex drive once they feel safe enough to express themselves. Unless they're just looking for sex, in which case they can be pretty direct about satisfying their own sexual needs. When it comes to emotional sex I think they like everything to be perfect emotionally before taking that plunge. However, I've known more than a few Virgos who could go for a looooooong time without having sex and they were alright with it. I think they can ignore their sexual drives better than some signs.

Just my two nickels, and these things may not apply to all Virgos. If you have more questions, I might have more info. For some reason it seems like I have an overwhelming majority of Virgo friends... I'm a sag, so I'm not quite sure why this is, they just keep ending up in my life!

I have been fortunate to have a few Virgo's in my life and I would so post something loving and cute, if I weren't trying to forget about a Virgo... ok you got me, I must post on my fave subject, lol.

Virgo's i've met are not really afraid of commitment. They are afraid of committing to the wrong person and being stuck with them forever, lol.

They love sex (even solo ) and can be kinky. The interest doesn't seem to be just for sex or kink's sake though. In my experience it tends to be more of a release from their stressful and (to their mind) necessary obligations.

They can be critical, but not in a truly serious way. Its more of an observation rather than critique. Make sure to thoroughly evaluate what you decide to critique in return, as they will never forget it. Emphasize the word "never" in "never forget it".

They can discuss their feelings, but do better when there is someone to help interpret what they're not saying. They tend to believe no one wants to hear them complain.

Every male Virgo I have ever met has had a close relationship with their sister's, sometimes over their mother's. They also tend to have quite a few female friends and admirers. I chalk this up to their friendly, quiet, fun, laid-back, no pressure - "public" manner. Of course a lot of that changes in a relationship, once they are comfortable with you their insecurities and more masculine qualities manifest.

If a Virgo tells you that they hate that they're so open with you or say something along the lines of "I'll tell you something" "but don't ever tell anyone or i'll.. break up with, leave, never talk to you again", etc., know that he either trust's you or is beginning to trust you with his true self.
