Get Out of the Virgo Rut

Too practical in the bedroom, Virgo? Try this now…          

Virgo has a loving, caring, sensitive soul, but you also like to run the show. If things have gotten a bit too predictable in the bedroom, try something new to liven things up.

Touch: One of the body parts ruled by Virgo is the skin. Start with a bubble bath or massage for two and go from there. Think of the possibilities!

Hear: Put on some music, or different audio, to get a whole new vibe going. Whisper sweet nothings—or in your case, somethings, since you’re such a brainiac!

Taste: Have a few delicious tidbits to whet your appetite. Try some edible body potions made just for love (see “Touch” above!)

See: Wear something sexy—to start with.

Virgo’s Biggest Love Flaw

Your high expectations can get in the way of love…

There are no halfway measures with Virgo. Your standards are high and your critical eye is practiced. You no doubt have a very specific mental picture of your perfect match. And you are tireless in your painstaking search as you meticulously check off each attribute on your list. Are you trying to sabotage your own efforts? No one could possibly live up to that paragon of virtue, charm, and looks! If you’re really serious about finding a mate, relax your standards just a little bit and widen your perspective, then you’ll find “the one.”

Feeling Caught Up, Virgo?

Don’t get stuck in analysis paralysis…

There’s a reason people bring you their knottiest problems. You’re the only one who can cut through the tangle, tease apart the issues, and knit the whole thing back together. If only Virgos ran our national security organizations, all those dots would have been connected long ago. Easy when it’s someone else’s problem, isn’t it? But you might stymie your own best efforts. Do you only act when you’re sure you’ll succeed? Do you consider every conceivable outcome a dozen times? Don’t wait until every single duck is lined up in order by color, size, and quack—act!

Take Care of Your Money, Virgo

Avoid this financial blunder…

You manage your money well. You question every purchase—especially big ones—to make sure it fills a practical (or fun) need. Your caution keeps you debt-free. Generous to others, do you extend the same benevolence to yourself? Buy yourself a reward now and then. It doesn’t have to be expensive! That bigger-picture view that can help you find love can also work with finances. You have the nickels and dimes under control. Now look ahead a decade or more. Do you have an emergency fund? Retirement account? It’s never too early to start saving for your future.

Watch for This in Your Virgo Relationship

If your Virgo is doing this, it means…

Generally speaking, Virgo is meticulous, cautious, and steadfast. When it comes to love, these signs indicate that there could be something amiss!

Misses Details: Detail-oriented Virgos never miss a trick, unless something is distracting them.

Forgets Appointments: This sign was born with a planner and pen. Didn’t show up? Uh oh.

Stops Trying: The very raison d’être of this sign is to make things better. If Virgo no longer cares, something is wrong.

Stops Helping: Virgo was put on this earth to be useful. If yours stops asking, better get to the bottom of it.

Want Virgo to Commit?

This is what you need to do…

Compassionate Virgo is a sensitive, unselfish, and faithful partner, but getting one to commit isn’t all that easy! Some of them fear getting hurt if they give away their heart unconditionally. Others can succumb too much to a partner and lose themselves entirely. The goal you should strive for is emotional equality. If each of you can openly communicate your wants and needs to the other and learn to receive the sort of feedback you like to dish out, it can help you unblock the path to intimacy.

How to Tell if Virgo Loves You

Will you ever be able to tell if it’s real?

You won’t see Virgos proclaiming their love from the rooftops or proposing via skywriter! Their methods are subtler, but no less ardent for that. They’re obsessed with logic and clarity (two things often missing in the realm of love), but if you’re having a heart-to-heart talk with one, there’s a real connection. The nitpicking won’t stop, but that’s only because he or she really likes you! Why bother criticizing someone you’re never going to see again? The real clue that things are going well is when this anxious worrier lets down their defenses and completely relaxes. Set the date!

Virgo’s Relationship Red Flags

Turning these struggles into strengths…

For anyone in a relationship with a Virgo, they already know that their partner is systematic and methodical. One who suddenly seems scatterbrained and ricochets from one thing to another like a bumblebee in a flower garden is not a contented companion. Similarly, one who succumbs to frequent headaches, stomachaches, or phantom ailments could be losing interest and withdrawing. You might not reach the soul-baring stage with a Virgo, but a partner who can talk about the situation logically might be able to get to the bottom of the issue.

Virgo’s Citrus Scent-sation

Need some grounding? Try this scent…

No wonder fruity orange oil is associated with your sign—when used in aromatherapy it can help calm the mind and ease stress! Whether you’re seeking a fragrance for a business meeting, special date, or just hanging with friends, you can’t go wrong with one built around one of the many guises of orange. Miss Dior Blooming Bouquet subtly melds orange blossom and musk, Prada Amber comforts with mandarin and vanilla, and Atelier Cologne Orange Sanguine Cologne combines exotic blood orange and amber. Choose a different one for each encounter!

Virgo Your Skin

Virgos should be extra careful with this organ…

Your sign is associated with the skin as well as the digestive system. Your body’s largest organ is a remarkable thing. It protects you from the slings and arrows of sun, pollutants, and infection, so treat it with respect and love! Exfoliate your body with a scrub made of raw sugar, salt, rice, or oats to make your skin glow.  Scrubs also help your skin absorb moisture. Smooth on a lotion that draws in water for a plump, creamy complexion. And don’t forget the sunscreen!
