Virgo: Relationships and Compatibility

Virgo natives have the reputation of being cool, undemonstrative and even somewhat frigid in their attitude toward love and romance. However, this is rarely the case. Rather, it is the most calm waters which tend have the most

depth. There is a need here to express the deepest emotions in an almost self-sacrificing manner, which is why Virgo subjects will give a great deal of themselves to a cause in which they are interested, or in a way of life which they

feel is the only way. If that way of life should be marriage, then these individuals will be fully dedicated to making the partnership a success. Persons who fall beneath the jurisdiction of this Zodiac Sign can be very withdrawn, particularly

with strangers. Indeed, they only appear warm and loving to those who know them best. Virgo natives require a tranquil partner and a solid foundation for happiness. These are earthbound souls in moral outlook, which does not mean

they have no spiritual side but merely that they are not prone to float or drift. Deeply-rooted in fundamental beliefs, the Virgo subject is unmoved by the more ariel or light-hearted spirits. Those ruled by Virgo will never be flattered by charm

or overcome by acts of show or overwhelmed by admiration for the flashy. These are persons who know what they want...in both love and life...and will pursue their partner of choice with much determination. This is truly a shining nature, generous in unmaterial things while being careful in every other respect. Virgo individuals can only be happy with a mate they believe to be ideal in every way and they are willing to wait until such a person comes along.

The Virgo male is orderly and methodical in his thinking, but not always in his dress. Typically a generous and loyal soul, he may not be overly sympathetic in romantic affairs although he constantly harbors a desire to assist those. The legend of Virgo is found in the Greek myth of Creation. The story goes that before men or animals lived on earth, a race of giants, called titans, ruled the world. Two titan brothers, Prome theus and Epimetheus, were given the task of creating human beings and animals.

When this was done, Epimetheus set about giving various gifts to the animals-wings to one kind, claws to another, etc. He was so generous that when it came time to dispense something to mankind, he had nothing left to give, so he asked Prometheus for help.

Prometheus went into heaven and came back with the gift of fire. This made man superior to other species, for with fire he could keep warm,make tools, and eventually develop commerce and science.

Jupiter, chief of gods, became so angry at the gods's secret of fire being given to man that he bound Prometheus to a rock on Mount Caucasus where an eagle constantly tore at his liver, though never entirely consuming it. He also sent a curse to earth-brought by the first woman. Her name was Pandora, meaning "a gift of all the gods." Pandora brought with her a box, which she was told never to open. One day, seized with curiosity, she lifted the lid of the box. Out sprang terrible plagues to haunt mankind forever after: sickness and death for the body; anger, envy, and revenge for the mind. At the bottom of the box lay the one thing that had not escaped, hope.

During the terrible times that followed, the gods deserted earth one by one and went to live in heaven. The very last to leave was Astraea, goddess of innocence and purity. After leaving the earth, Astraea was placed among the stars and became the constellation of Virgo. The legend is that one day the Golden Age will come again, and that Astraea (Virgo) will return to earth.
