VIRGO MALE FACTS

(From the book "Sextrology: The astrology of sex and the sexes" by Starsky and Cox)
Virgo man is a complicated, often confounding character.

To him, the world is an imperfect place fraught with pitfalls and disappointments.

He is especially predisposed to a defeatist view of relationships, which can't help but fall short of his signature pristine expectations.

Masking profound sensitivity and a wealth of emotional wounds behind a superior cynicism, Virgo man projects an impenetrability that alternately puts people off or piques their curiosity.

He is a master of disguises, putting on different faces for different people, careful to keep his friendships seperate and, thus, others' illusions of him alive.

He fears upset-conflicts are to be avoided at all costs-so he keeps his distance in relationships, typically entering into bonds where clear out control can be maintained.

Vigo is vulnerable to a litany of doubts, insecurities, and fears from an early age.

He not only feels socially cast off, but because Virgo is often born at a time when his parents are embroiled in a struggle or strife, he also senses a lack of familial love.

Though often musically and artistically gifted, Virgo fights and uphill battle in the trenches of human relationships.

He is the zodiac's misanthrope, a Charlie Brown, the cartoon Everyman who often finds himself positioned low on the totem pole.

He may be mocked or otherwise made fun of, which causes him to project a wounded and dejected personality.
However, these early experiences often fail to breed the true humility upon which Virgo man will later thrive.
From his youth, Virgo walks an emotional and, indeed, a moral tightrope.
He is visited equally by vice and virtue, just as he must resolve fear with faith, self denial with self acceptance, plain old right with wrong.
Avoiding conflict, he sidesteps tense situations, holding his tongue when feeling compromised-
like a volcano, he bottles up his emotions until they cannot help but blow or sink him into a dark depression.
By virtue of his sixth sign placement as the hinge of the zodiac, Virgo sees his whole life as a turning point, one long, continual crisis.
Still, he must be careful of building up too much real or metaphoric bile in his system-the result of being star crossed-and learn to let the healing begin.
Many a wounded Virgo will become a social or arts critic, jobs in which he can earn big bucks by being his naturally bilious self.
Fear and self loathing, as well as his obsession with perfection, have strong roots in Virgo's childhood.
He is often disabled by his upbringing, having been made to feel somehow flawed.
Virgo is famous for his phobias and hypochondria, which are often caused by overprotective parents.
As such, a Virgo man adopts a feeble self image, seeking out similarity disadvantaged friends and love interests with whom to sulkily associate-he is infamous for being sullen if not Gothic in his temperament.
Virgo feels lacking.
There's no easy way of convincing him that, from an astrological perspective, this is exactly how he should feel.
In hindsight Virgo can look back on his former bonds as part of his sentimental education, as stepping stones to self sufficiency and the establishment of a lordly manor of his own making.
Typically, around middle age, he will seek to pass the baton of his amassed knowledge, sharing his life with someone who reminds him very much of himself: a sorcerer's apprentice of sorts, who will regard him with as much love and affection as he does awe and respect.

SIGN NUMBER 6

Virgo's number is often called the devil's number, especially in triplicate.

Yet it is also considered the number of god's creation, which took 6 days.

As such, it is associated with work and productivity.

The cube is six sided, and when opened forms a cross.

35-42

SIGN AGE ASSOCIATION

Middle age.  Life is a crisis.

This is a time when a man's so called glory days are gone.

Virgo never feels like a golden boy; rather, he is disenfranchised.

He is the everyman, a true mensch, hard pressed to make his mark.

Humility becomes the benchmark of his success.

PSYCHOLOGY

Virgo may suffer from many irrational fears, such as disease phobia.

He can be distrustful and critical of others.

Feelings of disappointment may fuel pathelogical lying, especially surrounding his origins.

Innate self loathing may lead to psychosomatic illnesses and or an obsession with his physical being.

Virgo tends to tamper with his looks, falling prey to eating disorders or even a compulsion for plastic surgery.
