True facts about Virgo :-)

Excerpts from someone who actually did an assessment about male Virgos....

In which I say nice things about Virgo boys

It has been pointed out to me that with my fondness for Scorpios and Taureans, I have neglected a few of the other signs of the zodiac. True, but I did also issue the caveat that I love Scorpio and Taurus for the purposes of fiction.

For the purpose of actual cohabitation, you really can't do better than a Virgo. (And if you can find a Virgo with Scorpio rising, like I did, you get the best of both worlds.) Forget what you may have heard about Virgo: cold, critical, dispassionate. For an unevolved, unloved Virgo those things may be true. But just like Scorpio, who can be extremely offputting on the page, Virgo has gotten a bad rap and deserves a closer look.

To begin with, Virgo is SOLID. They are earth signs, dependable as the day is long. (But because they are Mercury-ruled, they can also be chatty, a necessity for a Gemini girl like me.) They are detail-oriented. Nothing is too complicated for them to grasp or to complete. When they undertake a task, they do it, and they do it well. Virgo is thorough, in all the best ways. Virgo can be focused and passionate, particularly when they feel confident and loved.

Because of their slight tendency to hypochondria, it is seldom difficult to get them to see the doctor. They will schedule their own appointments and get to them on time because Virgo is punctual. He will not keep you waiting while he checks himself in the mirror one last time. (Ever tried to share a bathroom with a Leo?) They are boyishly good-looking, often far beyond the age at which their looks should have started to fade.

They are gentlemanly and sweet and the last word in chivalry without being overbearing. (A Virgo will open doors and carry suitcases, but will never attempt to order for you in a restaurant.) Unless they have extremely volatile rising signs, Virgos usually don't suffer from an excess of bad temper, and even if they carry some Aries or Scorpio, an angry Virgo is rarely something to fear. They can be very protective of the underdog, and fiercely loyal.

They like to clean. Because of their fondness for order and tidiness, they can be delightfully neat to live with. They seldom lose keys or wallets because they usually put things where they belong, and they are the first to pull out the vacuum cleaner. (Never underestimate the importance of living with a person who actually picks up after himself.)

They like to hang out with their women. Unlike an Aries or a Sagittarius who will happily abandon you for a pick-up basketball game or a cheap fare to Tahiti, Virgo will be perfectly happy to take you shopping or hang out at home and cook a good meal. (If his rising sign is Taurus, you may never get him to leave.)

I'm blessed to be A Virgo...

The Sign of The Virgo

Show me the upstanding citizen whose "rightness" and probity put every other sign to shame and I will show you a Virgo. No other sign of the occidental horoscope system (except at times the Capricorn) has such a well-developed sense of what is proper and meet in any situation. The Virgo is clear-thinking and almost never misses the mark. Virgo is logical, analytical and keeps a cool head.

Virgos are not coldhearted or indifferent. They are loving and even slightly grasping about their love objects. Virgos are both sensual and gentle people. But what is so peculiar to Virgos is their ability to penetrate the fog of subjective thinking that surrounds emotion-laden situations. Run up to a Virgo and cry, "My house is ablaze! My children are inside! Help! Do something!" The Virgo: "Where do you keep your ladder?" Practical and down-to-earth, the Virgo can be looked to by almost any of the rest of us hysterics to keep calm and do the right thing.

Because Virgo people are methodical, they enjoy living in organized and pleasantly decorated surroundings. They are concerned with precision and enjoy keeping order. Meticulous to a fault, Virgo has to struggle to accept untidiness. Virgo eschews mess.

Often people in high positions in industry turn out to be born under the sign of Virgo. In power, however, Virgos sometimes have trouble getting along with their coworkers. They have difficulty communicating their displeasure without being biting and critical. If a Virgo boss thinks John acted badly at the office party, he may call him on the carpet, saying something like "John, you acted like a perfect idiot last Friday night. This behavior of yours is pathological. You had seventeen Scotches." Diplomatic, Virgos are not. But their ability to analyze complex situations is at the least astute.

Virgos are gifted for art appreciation and are very often creative. They have good taste and know how to judge fine quality. Often Virgos have collections of delicate antiques or precision instruments. They know how to take care of things and can be trusted to return borrowed items.

In the shortcoming department, Virgos may like to gamble, try drugs or dabble in the seamier sides of life. Virgos can become addicts and near-residents of casinos. Drugs have a sedative effect on them. A desire to alter Virgo's rigid consciousness? A need to vacate? La nostalgie de la boue? Whatever. Virgos must be on guard against self-destructive tendencies.

Virgos can be terrible snobs. For some reason, Virgos often think themselves separate and not-so-equal beings in relation to the rest of the world. They like to have "important" friends and tend to stick up their noses at "trashy" people. Perhaps, as Virgos are so orderly, anybody slightly less exacting seems beneath them. In any case, I always feel that Virgos need a good tickle. They are a bit on the stiff side and could stand to have a turquoise popsicle melted over their heads.

ps : Hmmm....true....very true...! My ideal match is a Taurus. Any takers??
