The Virgo Male
This earthy male is exactly that, no frills or sugar coating, see things as they are, and will call it as it is. Seemingly cold sometimes, he is not really, he doesn’t see any point in pretending, or exaggerating. If he’s got strong feelings, he is very unlikely to keep them to himself until he has tested the stamina and long-term potential of a relationship. Once the Virgo male has committed to a relationship, he is forever loving, patient and supportive. On the negative side, Virgo can be intensely critical and territorial. Once he learns to completely trust a lover, however, he’s dedicated, caring and faithful.
The Virgo Female
The Virgo female in the main is pernickety, fussy and desires structure in her life and relationship. She likes to have a handle on and understand every aspect of her life. Some would call them a control freak, that’s not what they are about; they just need to understand exactly where they stand with everything. Virgos females have a bad habit of falling in love and then trying to change the person into what she thinks her image of the perfect mate should be. Like her male counterpart, Virgos spend a lot of time analysing and planning for the future. They often have to be reminded that they are living in the present and miss what is happening in the here and now.
