    <summary type="html">&lt;div&gt;Over in one of the Sagittarian tribes, we Sun-Sags just started a conversation about how we
&lt;br/&gt;often feel inexplicably attracted to Virgos, even though it doesn't seem to work out in the end.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;You can look at the convo here: http://sagittarianlove.tribe.net/thread/c62b8ebb-44c9-49d9-9839-0517a4d1c3c0
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Anyway, I just wondered if Virgos were noticing the same thing from their end of things?  Do you often
&lt;br/&gt;have hard-core crushes on Sags, and then not have it work out?  
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;It blew my mind talking to other Sags about this, cause I had always thought it was just me... I didn't know
&lt;br/&gt;it was typical of my sign.  I'm curious what you Virgins think about the subject...&lt;/div&gt;

    <summary type="html">&lt;div&gt;Hi Everyone, I'm a Cancer female and I've been reading through all the posts in the Virgo tribe for about a week now and thought I'd join and ask a few questions. I met a Virgo male about a year and a half ago (the first one in my life) and am finding it very difficult to get emotionally close to him, when I really want to. I feel as though I'm under a microscope in his presence and anything I say can, and has been used against me. He was the one to pursue me in the beginning and due to my fears of getting burned after a bad relationship, gave him the impression I wasn't that interested while in his presence.. But have maintained contact via txt, email and tried calling him. He has this habit of wanting to see me then distancing himself for a month or so then will pop up like nothing happened and wants to see me again. I don't understand this and find it confusing... I've tried to make contact and ask him straight out what he wants, but he wont respond and ignores me until he feels like talking again (could be up to two months). I find that he prefers to be in the same room and has little interest in communicating via phone etc... It's a long distance thing too. I think I'm falling for him and just can''t work out if he likes me or not. Can anyone shed some light on whether this guy may like me if he keeps coming back? Thanks &lt;/div&gt;

    <summary type="html">&lt;div&gt;As children, Virgos are shy and diffident, and easily hurt. They are easily shamed, and seem to carry the burden of the guilt of the whole world on their shoulders. They may suffer quite a bit at school, and can be bullied by other pupils or teachers, or both. They seem to make a very bad karmic choice of parents, having fathers whom they love but who are distant and rather demanding. Their mothers may be far more interested in keeping up appearances and fussing about silly things than loving and caring for the Virgo child. Some Virgoans have mothers who are so incapable of looking after their children that they find ways of opting out of motherhood altogether. These children are expected to excel, but their fears, phobias and lack of self-esteem makes it hard for them to do so, while other children and even the parents of other children may be jealous of their obvious intelligence. Many Virgoan children grow up with a sense of abandonment.
&lt;br/&gt; 
&lt;br/&gt;As parents, Virgoans try not to recreate the mistakes of their own childhood. however, because they were not shown much real affection themselves, they find it hard to relate properly to their own children, and may, therefore, pass on the silly demands for scholastic performance and perfect behaviour which made their own childhood so intolerable. If the Virgoan finds his children difficult to understand or to deal with, or if his marriage breaks up, he may physically distance himself from them.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;There is a fairly large segment of the Virgo community who seem to defy the usual interpretations of this sign's nature. For one thing, these people can be extremely untidy in some or all areas of their lives. Some are tidy at home but keep their papers in a muddle, while others do the reverse. Some appear to live in apple-pie order but shove all the mess into cupboards where it cannot be seen. Others are simply completely disorganised. The reason for this phenomenon is the theory of 'polarity' in which the very characteristic for which a sign is known is polarised so that the person displays completely opposite traits and habits.
&lt;br/&gt; 
&lt;br/&gt;Another Virgoan polarisation is laziness. There are many Virgos who, while having very active minds, don't actually get down to doing much of anything. Yet another anomaly is the type of Virgo who is attracted to big business and who may be a tough, heartless go-getter who neglects his family and makes everyone else's life a misery. In fact, this last one is not such an anomaly because obsessional workaholism is a very Virgo trait, although it is unusual ofr a Virgoan to have the confidence or the strength of character to become a mogul or a tycoon. The motivation behind the go-getter Virgo is a sneaking feeling of worthlessness or a fear of losing what they have gained.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Virgo is born into a family where Mom is quite put out with Dad. In many instances, Virgo is born when the mother decides to have a much-wanted child. She then goes through the crisis of having to stay at home from work to take care of the kid. The work environment offered office relationships that were enjoyable; the office offered a chance to exchange information with others that is usually lost when a woman stays at home to take care of a child's needs. This mother begins to resent her husband, for after the child is born she can't afford baby sitters since the family has just lost her income.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;The mother may instill in her child values that will also discourage Virgo from feeling comfortable in certain adult aspects of relationships. Often, the mother of a Virgo goes through an antisexual period during the kid's infancy. She worries a lot about hygiene, and the normal functions of the body are often regarded with distaste. Mothers of Virgo infants have been observed to have extremely negative reactions to the job of changing dirty diapers. All children wear diapers, and all humans eliminate body waste. However, when a child's diaper is changed with disgust, and the child is only two or three months old, he begins to feel that the disgust relates to some unsatisfactory behavior on his part. If one shows disgust or disdain to a dog while it's in the training process, it can be trained not to eat! A child exposed to this response will develop guilts about natural functions, including sexuality. Most Virgos feel guilty about their sex life, and handle sex with embarrassment, or not at all. However, Virgo is an earth sign. We often use the word 'earthy' to indicate someone who is practical and sensual and a part of the earth. Virgo children have trouble compromising between their sexual desires and their sexual attitudes.
&lt;br/&gt; 
&lt;br/&gt;The Virgo female grows up in an environment in which she is close to her mother, but this closeness may be of either the love or the hate polarity. She feels criticized and unsure of herself. She doesn't have a lot of confidence in her ability to handle life experience, since her childhood was full of admonitions and criticisms. As she progresses into her teens, her body starts making demands and inquiries into her sexuality. Many young Virgo girls have early sexual experiences because they are looking for 'a port in the storm'. They also want to understand how it feels to be a woman. Some Virgos marry for the first time in order to get away from home and mother. But as time goes by, the Virgo begins to feel guilty because the power of the subconscious pulls on her rational mind. She may even grow to resent her sexual needs.
&lt;br/&gt; 
&lt;br/&gt;She often goes back to college after marriage to get her degree so that she can go back to work in a professional capacity. At that time, she begins to treat her husband much as her mother treated her father, and disappointments begin to happen in the relationship - they begin to grow apart.
&lt;br/&gt; 
&lt;br/&gt;The Virgo male has a more difficult time of it. He is a mother-dominated child in an atmosphere where his father is criticized and rejected. As he grows up, he's quite angry that his father is so incompetent. He feels that if his father were a better provider, his mother (the centre of his universe) wouldn't be so unhappy. Consequently, the Virgo often works too hard on a  job in order to prove he isn't the 'no-good' that Daddy was, and he gets very angry when his work is not appreciated.
&lt;br/&gt; 
&lt;br/&gt;He gets the same dose of bacteria phobia and disgust that his sister did from his mother, and he enters adulthood with a bit of a sexual double standard. He wants to be sexually involved, yet he thinks sex is a little vulgar. The Virgo male can carry a great deal of resentment towards his mother. If she is really overpowering, and if she is intensely critical of him and his dad, the boy may not want to have any involvement with women at all; for every time he sees a woman he sees the characteristics of his mother.
&lt;br/&gt; 
&lt;br/&gt;Men born into feminine signs have more trouble dealing with women than do their masculine sign counterparts. Because Mother ran the household, and seemed to be the ruler of the universe, it is more difficult for these men to converse freely with women; subconsciously, they think that women have 'therpower'. When they learn that 'the power' is really related to the concept of the feminine principle, and that this power is in them and can be used in a material sense for building something in the material universe - whether the building is intellectual or physical - then they are free to see men and women as human beings. Until they reach an understanding of the masculine and feminine principles operating in the universe, they will over-listen to women. It's difficult for them to have a disagreement with a woman; they can't easily handle opinions from a woman, and they overreact to what she says. A woman may have no idea that the Virgo male is reacting to her in this way. She just notices that he's too detailed, too involved in statistics, too involved in proving his points by quoting passages from all the books he's read; and she can't get a straightforward conversation out of him. If it happens to be a positive-sign woman (who wasnt to be respected in her own right by men in general) encountering a Virgo male, these two can engage in a most interesting argument, all based on the subconscious drives within them!&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;br/&gt;Just joined. Great idea to have a club special to Virgos... perhaps the most worried (worrisome?) of all the  Signs.
&lt;br/&gt;I'm a Sept 9th, and my sister is a Sept 10th ,but a year apart... and we always argued as kids because we thought alike! Are there really such similarities between natives?
&lt;br/&gt;Any one else of the same Sept 9th date as me?&lt;/div&gt;
