Virgo in Love
This is one of a series of articles about astrology and love advice for women:

By Carol Allen

The following is a brief overview of how someone with their Sun, Moon, or rising sign in the sign of Virgo may behave in relationships.

If you've read my eBook, "Love Is in the Stars" then you probably noticed I made fun of Virgos...

In fact, it's the ONLY sign I make fun of.

I say about them:

-You're incredibly organized.

-Your idea of a good time is cleaning out your closet.

-You've been known to rearrange the cupboards of friends when they're not home.

-The spices in your spice rack are lined up alphabetically - and by color.

Now, I'd love to tell you I'm exaggerating, but the Virgos that I know are like this. When I joke that their closets are organized by designer, they correct me by adding, "And thread count..."

Can you imagine arranging your pants or shirts by the thickness or texture of the fabric?

They can do nothing but...

And in love, this compartmentalized thinking can be a good thing, or a not-so-good thing...

You see, Virgo isn't just a detail-oriented sign.

It's an idealistic sign.

So, they don't just want any old partner.

They want the PERFECT partner.

(Don't we all?)

So they have to be careful of being too picky, picky, picky...

Their love lives can sound like that children's story of "Goldilocks And The Three Bears."

They'll describe a date by saying, "He was too tall... She was too short... I didn't like his shoes... His shoes were too nice... He was too thin... She was too fat..."

You see, just like Goldilocks, they want the partner that's JUST right.

Not always recognizing that the long checklist they're insisting upon someone fulfilling is the thing that's keeping them lost in the woods of love.

Alone...

For this reason they often marry late (which works out okay, as they age more slowly than the rest of us and keep their youthful looks longer), or not at all.

So, they have to be careful not to be overly critical with others.

Especially if a woman is a Virgo, she needs to remember that men are NOT motivated by such behavior.

The way to inspire a man of ANY sign is with positive feedback of what he's doing RIGHT - not by pointing out what he's doing wrong!

The thing a Virgo is most attracted to in a romantic candidate is their MIND.

(And if they're car is clean... I'm not kidding!)

Being ruled by Mercury, the planet of the intellect, and being a mutable sign, they have quick minds themselves and endless interests, so want a partner who can keep up - and even challenge them with stimulating conversation, and playful repartee.

Because the realm of information and ideas is their favorite place to live, Virgos can have a hard time in the domain of the emotions...

This manifests in them either not knowing how they feel, or not accepting how they feel.

It's such a "do the right thing" and "don't rock the boat" kind of sign, that they struggle most in relationships with being fully THEMSELVES.

You see, not only are they idealistic about a partner's checklist of qualities and life situation, they're all the more so with THEIR OWN.

So, they'll "try" to be what they're "supposed" to be, or be the best, most positive version of themselves possible - caring too much what people think, or how they look, or that they not upset anyone.

Sweeping what they really need or want, and what's really going on in that chatty brain and sensitive heart of theirs, under their perfectly vacuumed rug...

Or in a gorgeous box, tied with a neat bow, on a high shelf of that spotless, organized closet.

Because it's the natural sixth sign of the zodiac, Virgos focus on topics having to do with health, fitness, service, counseling, teaching, and animals - and are most comfortable being behind the scenes.

In fact, another reason they are often late to marry is that they can be TOO behind the scenes, happy to be home on a Saturday night with their books, CNN, and the dog.

The truth is, this is a shy, sensitive sign, prone to WORRY and anxiety.

And it's a feminine sign, causing even men of this sign to be passive and yielding - waiting for love to come and find them.

And, once they've been hurt, they don't want to stick their neck - or their heart - out again...

So if you're drawn to a Virgo, you may need to send him VERY obvious signals, or ask him out first.

The sixth sign and house are also associated with illnesses (which their endless worry and over-analysis can cause to grow more serious than otherwise), so you'll often find Virgos in fields having to do with health or very fussy about their own health habits.

So, if dating a Virgo be sure to find out their food preferences - like if he's on some sort of special seaweed/garlic/cucumber juice diet so you'll know what to cook for him, or where to suggest you go on dates.

(You know - like Ernie's Seaweed Spot, or Harry's House of Cucumber ... :))

Because, again, he's passive, and will LOVE that you have suggestions...

As for where else to go with your Virgo lover, nature is always a good bet - Virgo is an earth sign, so people born under this sign tend to love the great outdoors.

As long as they don't have to get their polished shoes dirty or their perfectly coordinated outfit sweaty while spending time in it.

(Oops, I made fun of them again - I'll cut that out in a minute, I swear!)

Virgo is called, "The Virgin" and is the only sign depicted by a woman.

She's a maiden holding a sheaf of wheat in one hand, and fire in the other.

But don't mistaken this seemingly refined young lady to mean that Virgos aren't passionate.

If their mind is engaged and their checklist is all checked, they can be some of the most ardently passionate people anywhere.

In fact, people born with the planet of sex (Venus) in the sign of Virgo are often highly sexed, to the point of being addicted to it...

Virgos have been extra sensitive this past year, as they've been in the fated "forty years on the desert cycle" that I write about in my eBook, "Love Is in the Stars."

(If you're a Cancer, Leo, or Virgo, you should really check it out to see how to handle this frustrating, often love-blocking time...)

So they may be feeling less support, and even more anxious and "behind the scenes" than usual, neglecting their romantic lives more than ever... or feeling like nothing ever works out, so why bother?

Which is a shame, because a Virgo in love is a kind, giving, sweet partner who (unless otherwise afflicted) is ethical, wise, fair, and endlessly supportive, always striving to be the best they can be, and help the one they love be so as well.

You may not realize there are actually THREE constellations in the sign of Virgo that are very distinct from one another and which add a great deal more detail into their personality and ability to relate than you've probably ever heard before.
