Venus in virgo is like a handicap you have to work around. Death to romance if not recognized and nipped in the bud.. no one is good enough. did you see that wrinkled shirt? urgh, squeeze the toothpaste from the middle, seriously....I like things perfect all of the time, and that is never possible, is it?

venus in virgo's, tell the truth, you too?

A loose thread hangs from his shirt, and I start to pull at it. So he pulls away and says, no, let me get the nail scissors. Remember the last time that happened?
*Blinks* Umm...no..
Him: Um. Well, it took out a long piece of thread. Let me get the nail scissors.

no one but he and I remember what happened last time when his perfectly ironed shirt had a loose thread and you just pulled it out with your bare hands for chrissakes and then HUGE rip at least an 1/2 inch long that totally kept him from enjoying the evening, who can have fun with a ripped up shirt on? You seriously don't remember that?

I have to remind myself, only o/c people move things a fraction of an inch when they walk through a room. My poor so, I had him move this huge heavy rock two inches this way, turn on the side, two inches that way, little to the left. Breaking the poor mans back till it was exactly as I wanted it.

we are fussy and need to chill out!

i fight it all the way, it is a tendancy, so i am hard on myself about it and have had a hard time choosing a mate in life due to it. I always end up finding something wrong that I don't want to deal with. but pluto and uranus in virgo and all in the 5th, makes ton of sense.
like my family ask, what happend to so and so, but they know me, so they say, did he wear a speedo? forget to shave his neck? what was the faux paux this time. ah well kind of funny.

In certain Northern towns in England, you can see men queuing for clubs and bars in sub-zero temperatures dressed in cotton shirts, often short-sleeved. It always fascinated me to see some of the immaculate ironing of some of their ensembles. Maybe the work of a Venus in Virgo (maybe themselves). It's not chocolate and flowers but it is romance of its type.

But I would say that, I have Venus in Taurus. I appreciate practical attentions.

Can relate to what you say, Katatonic and Top Shelf.

Yes, I like other to be self contained - don't want to be anyone's nurse maid or heaven forbid - their mother(horror!)

I think Venus in Virgo can be very tolerant and the reason for this is because our discernment has already assessed and catalogued many things, so, generally we can accept and let be things that are unimportant to us. There is no stress when you're not interested and you don't have to be.

When I get nit picky it would be because I feel I have to put up with something that I don't want - and that usually means a partner. Hence, I prefer to be on my own, then I only have to deal with adult relationships as far as I can be bothered. My children are different, and I like to be nurturing and fair. However, I have noticed that they can't stand bad manners, poor speaking, and poor treatment of children and animals.

I like everything just so. I am somewhat anal anyway. I re-fold the towels if they aren't like I do them. no pointy edges arranged by color. I mean, that is kinda odd, who cares, who notices, nobody but me. And I am not a virgo, just venus in virgo. actually, that is a lie, my progressed chart has sun, pluto, merc and uranus in virgo in third house opposing moon and saturn in 9th. makes more sense now.

sometimes I think my quest for perfection has made for a lonely road.

my so is good to me, loves me, would do anything for me, and yet there are certain things I am wierd about. I never want to mix my finances with another person again, married or not, I am very simplistic and conservative and there is now a tv in every room, two big screens, stuff, so much stuff. every device known to man, merging two houses is hard and I have to find a place for everything and can't stand crap laying around. In the scheme of life, the big picture, who really cares about stuff, whether a light gets left on, or the sun room is cluttered. I mean, when we get old, you don't look back and say, wow, we had the cleanest kitchen in the city. who really cares about that. I am very funny about money. he is very freespending. we both have jupiter in 2nd house, but i think my life lessons have made me the way I am, and secure future is very important to me. I have to not be nitpicky and really think about stuff.

all those progressed planets in virgo..it all makes sense now.

Yeah I know what you mean, I have the Saturn/Uranus thing going on too.

I'm getting into this idea of integrating opposites tho...

The only way I can sought it out at the moment is to have crazy long term goals. At the moment I am restricted in terms of responsibility, the use of resources, and time. I am just not able to go on a cycling holiday through western Europe or develop an ornithology portfolio thru the islands off the British Isles,at this time, lol. But yeah, I reckon I will get there in some form eventually.
