Over the last couple days there have been a slew of comments that characterize Virgos as controlling. I don’t get this at all. I consider the Cardinal signs to be the control freaks of the zodiac without question.

Now don’t get pissed off at me, I have both Capricorn and Libra prominent and it takes one to know but for the people who think Virgos are controlling - Please ’splain to Lucy.

In my mind, Virgos communicate what is wrong with you and then go off to do their other work. Um…

Who is the control freak King (or Queen) of the zodiac?

Defending Virgo - One of the most dogged and disrespected signs in the zodiac

Charlotte asks during a discussion on the “Splainin’ Myself” blog:

“…it is more like challenging someone. Isn’t that (reportedly) a good thing? Saying to someone, “I know you can do better” isn’t the same as “You must be more like this or like that” is it? It’s a fine line I suppose, where one can make you evolve and grow whereas the other makes you feel like crap.”

Charlotte - Assuming the person has not asked for feedback, I don’t see the difference between these two approaches. In both cases you are imposing your judgment and your priorities on the other person which to a person like me feels like a pure assault.

Virgo the Virgin is known for their fine mind, and their focus on health and helping. Their work is a priority and they tend to shun the limelight unless their job requires otherwise. Virgos are perfectionists, with a tendency to nitpick.

I am essentially a loner.

Talent in cheaper than table salt. What separates the talented individual from the successful one is a lot of hard work.

Dear Virgo,

With Mars conjunct Pluto in the first house and a stellium in Scorpio I am sure you give off nothing but energy… energy that attracts and repels. And there isn’t a damned thing you can do about it except for gain awareness so you operate more consciously.

Now brace yourself because this next is going to sound like criticism when it is anything but. I am trying to free you here, I swear it. And the only way I know to do that is too offer insight so here goes:

Virgo has a vested interest in being seen as innocent and virginal and if you read your post up there, you will see what I mean. You’re not flirty. You’re not cheap! Why are they bothering you? You don’t want them. You didn’t do anything. Why bother the nun? Why not leave the librarian alone? But this keeps happening so it must have something to do with you and it does. Get this loud and clear:

You exude sex.

I was leaving the gym today, hair wet with a heavy bag slung over my shoulder. I came up in the corridor behind a man I see around sometimes, he’s African.

“I’m a speeder,” I said passing him on the left without breaking stride.

“How are you doing?” he asked as I passed.

“Good, what about you?”

“Good too. Sure wish they’d clean this place though. Especially the pool area. It’s nasty.”

Past him now, hitting the door,I looked over my shoulder. “I never go in there and hearing that, I’m glad,” I said.

Standing behind me now I saw him look down at my ass. “You’re losing your weight back,” he said. “For awhile there you had started to swell up. Looked like you were on steroids or something.”

I smiled then glanced over my shoulder at him. “I was eating cookies,” I said. “Bags of them at at a time.”

On that I turned back and headed to my car.

I figure this guy is some mixture of Virgo and Sagittarius. Virgo because of the cleanliness and attention to detail. Sadge because of his big mouth. I can’t say this bothered me though. I will be steering clear of cookies today, you know?

Also another indication of Neptune on the midheaven. People think I am on drugs!

It’s something I decided from the very beginning I would never do - nudity.
Claudia Schiffer

When I first came to Hollywood I was told to go out with an agent because it was good for my career. So I went to a party with him because it was good for my ‘career.’ Well, he thought the whole thing was a big date. Needless to say, I was very upset.”

I can promote a cause, such as AIDS. I can promote a movie. But to promote myself just doesn’t feel right. That’s why you’re not going to see me at awards shows, you’re not going to see me at MTV functions, because I don’t want to go.

I fell in love with doing yoga.
