Virgo risers seem to be always looking to escape something, somehow. Either a horrible life, a horrible family, a horrible situation, or even escaping themselves via substances and drugs (especially with Pisces on the dsc, Piscean themes will follow them, the good side and the bad side). I see it in the Virgo risers I know. One had a horrific childhood, another had an oppressive parent, and one more escaped via drugs. One I knew in school committed suicide.

I wonder if anyone else has experiences with needing to escape something, as a Virgo Riser, or know of some that feel similarly? If yes, why and what are they escaping?

I have it at 14 degrees, so its second decan, ruled by, saturn.So saturn has to be looked at aswell.

Dc ruler Neptune. Neptune is in 4th or 5th squaring Venus. I love (or loved) daydreaming love stories. While waiting for true love to find me. So its like, I have been on stand by.

I escape, by movies and tv-series. It was worse when I was between 18-28 years old. With my first Saturn return 2 years ago I have developed much healthier habits and big discipline regarding watching movies-series.

I use it only to relax after a hard day, after finals etc. And breakfast haha I need my breakfast series . Also I have lots of criterias before a series end up on my watch list. I'm very very picky!

There is nothing escapist about the Virgo rising personality by itself. Quite the contrary, we are more practical realists, but may have our points of sensory overload at which point we may withdraw from noise, attention, social interaction, or more troublesome matters.

Remember, Virgo is Mercurial mutable earth, which tends to choose withdrawal into a private mindset perhaps after appearing more extroverted than they actually are.

Many Virgo rising personalities not bolstered by fire (planets or signs) will tend to be 'small' personalities easily overwhelmed by the 'bigger' more extroverted or belligerent types around them. They tend to withdraw from that in search of physical (material=earth) space and privacy.

But remember we can't lump all people into the same basket because of their rising sign, because we are talking about people with charts that have many factors. The Moon, 4th house, etc, are also significators in some of the life struggles and experiences you describe.

Yeah I can understand that.

I actually though seem to need at least 1 month minimum of pure solitude, 0 human interaction. I could do more easily, but alas any longer and I begin to turn a bit feral and forget social behavior LOL
