Mblake81,  I think the Moon should be considered when looking at someone's emotional reactions.

Air signs think it through while Fire signs just do.
This is true. I got betrayed last year. It's been a year and I'm still not 100% over it =(. I'm a virgo sun, libra moon, venus and merc and virgo mars. I dwell on the past alot =/ and just cos I may not seem very emotional on the surface (aries rising too) I am terribly sensitive inside. I just hide it bc showing vulnerability only leads to alot of hurt. IP: Logged |

I've always felt that the typical Virgo descriptions are way off the mark. There are a lot of Virgos in my life and not a single one of them matches up. I think the essence is there, but something is missing in the interpretation of the way "Virgo-ness" manifests itself in the personality. For instance, none of my Virgos are health nuts, or clean freaks, or super organized, but all of them have a certain quiet purity about them. Usually this reads as either a low-grade anxiety regarding emotional interaction, or sometimes it's a soft but unmistakable refusal to interact or share on that level at all. It's almost as if they're waiting on the perfect person to open up to, but don't expect that person to arrive. But they all have a noticeable "quiet" about them-- even the more boisterous ones! If anything, I don't think Virgos are non-emotional, but in my experience they're often reluctant to share. IP: Logged |

my dad was a virgo...and unemotional was the last word to describe him------------------ I once saw a sign that said "sin is death" but if "all deaths are suicide (linda goodman)" and suicide is sin, then shouldnt "death is sin" be more appropriate? when organic is used to describe food then you know we have come to a dark age in history IP: Logged |

Fantastic. I love reading about people who don't fit in with their sign or placements. IP: Logged |

To be honest, I think that is one of the best descriptions of Virgo that I've ever read. I've known quite a few Virgos (mostly the women though), and I am one, and I think that would apply to all of us. I am one of the more 'boisterous' ones due to all of the fire in my chart, but even so, with the people I truly care about, I feel like I can have my very quiet moments and they understand. It's not so much a REFUSAL to interact or share, so much as a knowing that there is something deeper that can't really be expressed in words and can only be felt... If that makes sense. IP: Logged |

Yes! It does. I'm not a Virgo, but my husband is, although most people would never guess. I often get the feeling with him that to express something would be to spoil it almost. Somehow.I'll be honest-- we've been together seven years and I have never felt emotionally connected to him. Sometimes I feel like he's missing a certain "human" element, and I don't know if this is due to any Virgo emotional issues or if it's something else. He's very sentimental, however, and he's certainly not heartless. There's just a lack of connection that I think transcends the him plus me equation; I suspect that this would be the case in any relationship he would pursue. Otherwise, we have a great friendship and we make each other laugh-- a lot!! I don't know how this will work out in the long run, but we're both aware of these potential limitations. I care deeply for him, but his emotional expression is so extremely subtle that it's essentially off my radar. I'm a Sag, so that doesn't help in this case, but even so, even if I'm really trying to "find" him in that way, it's extremely difficult to find and connect with his emotions. And the kicker? He's a really happy person. Doesn't feel repressed or like he's missing anything. It's only when he feels pressure from my end about these things that it bothers him at all. He's something of an enigma to me. I would have to admit that this is another tie that binds us despite all else! IP: Logged |

Actually I think sociopaths are mostly emotional about themselves or weird things. Like narcissistic people definitely get emotional over themselves. I'd say crazy people just lack the ability to relate to other people's emotions and have compassion. But relate to themselves quite fine. Even autistic or asperger people can cry or be angry over things. Nobody conscious can be unemotional. ------------------ I became insane, with long intervals of horrible sanity.-Poe i fell asleep into a world of chaos and awoke to another IP: Logged |

I work with five Virgos, male and female and they're all emotional to some degree, especially one - he's so emotional he's almost like a teenage girl (he's in his early to mid-fifties if you can believe it). Two of the three women in this bunch are surprisingly non-emotional.IP: Logged |

That is so interesting, what the sag lady married to a virgo man said, because I've always felt that way about signs square to mine. With the square signs that I have good synastry and composite whom I truly love, I kind of become obsessed with them (and they with me) because there is that which you spoke of. This complete wonder and amazement about what goes on inside that person's head, how they're able to be the way they are, and I can't help but relish in all the qualities they have to offer my personality. It needn't be a square sign, it could also be simply just someone with an air or fire sun, but it definitely most frequently happens with square signs. I have never quite become fascinted about my opposite sign capricorn, as I have with a square sign. IP: Logged |

Oh yeah, and about the virgo quietness--great observation. I once asked a question on yahoo answers about if it was possible for a person to be extremely extroverted, but secretly actually be introverted. I was referring to a cap guy I know. But I feel this can apply to all earth signs. Even if they are really loud and party a lot, there is that natural shyness that comes at times, that you notice about them. I've never had a problem connecting to or understanding the earth signs, because theyre so much like me. And I'm sorry, but they're also just as emotional as me (Cancer). I think Virgos are even More complicated than Cancers. IP: Logged |

I find that Virgos and Scorpios tend to be very complicated. Perhaps that's not relative to my point. Virgos and Scorpios, or people with Virgo/Scorpio among the big three (Sun-Moon-Asc.) tend to have a lot of or very difficult personal problems. There is strong tendencies to depression with these signs. Almost always a hurdle to jump or mountain to climb or bridge to cross. Now, it could just be the people I'm around and have experienced this with, but that's what I find. IP: Logged |

i think it really depends on the writer. i'm a taurus and i absolutely love virgos. some signs might say it's nagging, i like being fussed over. some signs may find taurus possesive, the virgo i knew liked it when i said she's mine. *shrugs*unemotional? i didn't get a cold vibe from the ones i've been with but i struggle with understanding emotions myself. i'm far from cold but most of the time i don't understand what's going on or i don't take the time to introspect and prefer just going autopilot. i have nothing in virgo.

That's the Earthiness of you! My Taurus friend loves it when I just come over and care for her and just be around. Sit and mellow out. She's also unafraid to get close, which I'm fine with, since she is a good friend of mine.The Earth signs I know don't mind, if not prefer, distance to be closed between them and the other.

My sister and my husband both have virgo moons and are emotional people. They don't necessarily enjoy wearing their hearts on their sleeves but that doesn't mean they don't feel. And yes, there is a certain "quiet" about them which becomes more apparent when you get to know them better. They seem to have trouble expressing in words their innermost feelings but you can always tell through their actions. They love being around nature (it rejuvenates them) or simply being in a quiet and peaceful environment. And they are most appreciative of a partner who can give them just that. IP: Logged |

Often there is some kind of repression with a Virgo Moon, as if the natural flow of emotions and feelings is somehow blocked, consciously or unconsciously. Deep feelings are scary because Virgo Mooners are actually quite sensitive and often afraid of their own depths.I've noticed that with Capricorn Moons as well, most of them put a barrier between themselves and others. But I can understand where they're coming from. IP: Logged |
