VIRGO.

I have natal Chiron in Virgo along with a 6th house Scorpio stellium so I'm familiar with the energy, but not in my personal relationships. Virgo has always been a very confusing sign because I'm not sure what exactly makes it stand out separate from the rest.

Are Virgo-influenced people a little TOO practical in terms of relationships?

The reason I say this is because although I get their critical, cautious, and reserved ways (6th house stellium), my Scorpio placements can't understand the lack of passion associated with this sign. They always seem to follow a straight line without any disruptions from the outside world. As long as they have a solid routine, they're content BUT what about love? Doesn't a partner stir their deepest passions regardless of how composed and put together they are? Nothing seems to pull them off their rocker so to speak. And not that I really want to ruffle their feathers, but my Scorpio curiosity is itching to know what makes these folks tick.

WHAT IS IT?

How do they express love?

Do they get bored?

Are these folks content with a boring, easy-going relationship or do they crave excitement because it's what they lack?

What do Virgo-influenced individuals actually need to feel happy and fulfilled in relationships?

What is often overlooked (but mentioned and described by Evangeline Adams 100 years ago, at least with Taurus) is sensate sensitivity in the earth type. The ticklish or sensitive nervous system, the pronounced sensory response. My own hearing, vision, sense of touch is extremely sensitive to the point of hampering my ability to do what most take for granted. I rarely go to rock shows, and plug my ears with cotton when I do. At times I plug my ears with cotton when my wife has a loud cough. My wife has had to learn to not grab me suddenly around the middle and dig in with her fingers, but it will send me up the wall. I like it when she grabs me, but not like that. It is painful.

The earth signs are very body oriented signs, internally guided. Virgo is especially guided by this 'feminine intuition' regarding what feels right inside (the primary brain or 'gut' brain). I think the water signs are more chakra or energy 'rub' oriented.

Virgo is as much oriented to internal balance as air/Librans are towards some externally based notion of balance (relationships).

Earth types generally desire steady growth rather than hot feelings and big ups and downs.

You've underestimated the sexuality of the Virgo type, which is one of the most sexually oriented signs of the zodiac. Just don't expect them to reek of it. Its not 'sexy' output like with fire signs.

Modernity, technological overlay and urban living are stresses that I feel keep the earthiest nature of we earth types from showing. Hearth and home and basic living are what Earth values most. Sex is just part of that. When stressed, earth types tend to simplify, not complicate their lives with adding something/someone else in to make it better.

This is most pronounced with Virgo and Taurus, Capricorn types generally taking on more, being more ambitious. But these are generalities.

My friend is a Virgo ( week cusp of beauty, from the book secret language of birthdays)

WHAT IS IT?

She is very emotional but it is hidden, I just tend to see it. As a Virgo she is open to telling you what she thinks and may come off as critical. At first it took me some time to trust she was a real friend as somethings struck me but I am a Cancer, we are sensitive to everything! She is a true friend and love her dearly, Virgos just have a more down to earth attitude towards things but underneath all that , she really has strong emotions. She just doesn't show them like I would.

How do they express love? By being practical and being there for you

Do they get bored?
LOL, yea she does and then she has moments where she is really ready to have some fun, love her to pieces and she tolerates that I talk a whole threw her head.

For her, she married a pisces man and she works HARD!!!! She loves him very much but he immmm.. loves women
What do Virgo-influenced individuals actually need to feel happy and fulfilled in relationships? Depends on the Virgo, most of them end up with people who they take care of or like a sloppy pisces. For some reason I guess it gives the mayrter type thing Virgos possess. I know one guy who is a Virgo and he is married to an Aquarious but I think he is not born on the same week as my other friend.

Their needs seem so simple and to the point.

To answer your questions: yes, Virgo-influenced people are very pragmatic and practical. Remember that Virgo is THE sign of service, they will martyr themselves for you and then be hurt and angry when you don't notice all their little sacrifices. That's what makes them tick: when you don't acknowledge or appreciate all the things they do for you, and also when you don't consider their practical needs: for example, arranging a date so they have to go really out of their way, stressing them out, not using joint resources wisely, asking them to cook for guests and inviting three extra people last minute so they freak out about not having enough food for everyone, etc. They express love by taking care of your physical, practical needs. As far as craving excitement, I think it depends on the moon sign. Virgo moons seem to LOVE boring, domestic relationships! It's their jam. They love the routine and stability and knowing exactly what to expect - they don't like surprises. Hate surprises. But a Virgo with a fire moon will enjoy more excitement for sure, while a Virgo with a Pisces moon will look more for emotional intimacy and depth, in my experience with them.

So yeah, to be happy and fulfilled: they do need their practical concerns to be taken care of, they need to have a stress-free day (as much as possible anyway; they will always manage to stress themselves out) with no surprises, no social malfunctions. More than anything they just need you to show that you appreciate all the little things they do for you that you never even asked for and probably didn't notice. They need to hear "thank you for ironing my clothes", "wow, your cooking is incredible", "you rest, I'll do the dishes." The most amazing thing you can do for them is take care of all the household chores or lend them a practical helping hand in an emergency.

More than anything I'd also say that Virgos, whether sun or moon, need someone to listen to them compassionately. Everyone needs this to a large extent, but Virgos, being ruled by Mercury for now, really process their experience in a verbal manner. So another great thing you can do for them is ask questions and listen, listen to them talk about their boring day (lol), the dream they had last night, gossip they gleaned about the neighbor, their analysis of this or that social situation. Validate them intellectually and they're yours.

These are all common traits I've noticed among the Virgos in my life. Here are more specific experiences I've had with Virgo Suns and moons.

First, my nanny who has been the true mother in my life. She's a Gemini with her moon in Virgo, possibly more planets in Virgo but I forget. She is emotionally fulfilled by the act of service. She NEEDS to take care of other people, and mainly in the most practical and pragmatic ways. She's been a nurse all her life, cared mainly for the dying and children (and dying children), and has a degree in psychology and another in paychiatry. This woman can NOT sit still for more than five minutes if that - she is always cleaning, cooking, doing laundry, even though my family doesn't pay her or anything anymore. She just obsessively takes care of us, and we're not the only ones.

Another Gemini with a Virgo moon I know is a friend of mine with whom I had a year-long platonic sexual relationship. He's not clean and tidy like my nanny by any means, but he would always let me stay at his place when I was passing through town on frequent business trips. He's not verbally affectionate, not romantic AT ALL, with no sense of seduction, but he does like to take care of his friends' basic needs. He's always happy to fulfill a basic need that someone has.

I had a close Virgo friend for awhile. She was more of a wild child, and I would say that the Virgo tendency for perfection manifested in her as being "perfectly imperfect," if that makes sense. She wasn't a goody-goody by any means, and she was totally slothful and gross (even for a Taurus like me!), but she worked hard to cultivate this bad girl image. The way she shows affection, though, is very practical: she'd selflessly let me borrow her car all the time, always do me any favor I needed, etc.

Another close Virgo female friend of mine is a woman who also cultivates her image very carefully and consciously. She's more of an emotional caretaker - taking in "lost puppy" types, people who need emotional or spiritual healing. She would also take care of me in pragmatic, physical ways, like helping me when I got too drunk, lol!

But my closest friendship I've ever had is with my double Virgo best friend. That's right, sun and moon in Virgo and neurotic as f*#%!!! He's had a very difficult life. He's obsessively analytical to the point of self destruction, constantly trying to apply logic to nebulous emotions and human behavior, he's perfectionistic and image-obsessed, his values are purely external. He, too, is a caretaker. His dream is basically to be a housewife. He shows affection by being almost manically pragmatic, showing his love in extremely practical, physical, demonstrative ways. He will arrange his entire day or even life around another person's practical needs, then gets hurt and upset when the other person says it's not necessary and/or doesn't show the same type of consideration for him. He's completely codependent, has never managed to function outside of a codependent relationship. In his relationships with independent partners, he's consistently driven them away with his fussiness and codependency. However, he is romantic - very romantic! But more in the sense of having a very romanticized view of life and of himself. I'd say the same romanticism applies to my two female Virgo friends.

Man I've had a LOT of experience with these Virgos! I usually win them over, like I said, by showing appreciation, validating them intellectually, listening to them patiently and nonjudgmentally, and doing pragmatic favors for them in return even without their asking.
