VIRGO DADS!

[Louise Mulholland]

Well i am cancer:-)

I thought i would start a discussion on Virgo dads.

I find them to be well meticulous very intelligent...........and very determined that their kids are going to be intelligent also. They are very concerned with education and good grades etc.

Very dutiful and always there in a crisis.

They take responsibility very seriously.

I find my dad to be one of the most intelligent people i know he has many differing degrees and a PHD he is very logical and into maths. And he was very determined that this part of my personality should be developed. He taught me how to play chess etc ( he was a champion chess player).

I have a B.A in Philosophy and went on to study drama and dance (classical) music etc.

I write and work in the arts etc. He and my mother are opposites she is an artist and i am the artist type too i work in the arts theatre etc.

He supports us but he thinks we are a bit mad sometimes:-)

I have never met anyone with such a love of study and knowledge and he loves to talk about everything under the sun.
He does have a creative side , he plays the guitar and sings. But he is very logical.

He is very sporty and loves running and gold and pretty much every sport under the sun.

( i am very sporty too so is my mum)

I find Virgos very loving very straight forward men....i get along with them very well in life and the women.

Although they can be very tough on themselves and expect perfection from themselves and their loved ones.

Luckily i am perfect Lol:-)

But they are not as fastidious as people think and are always there for you.

They are great thinkers and i think i get that from him i have a natural talent for maths and language and then i have my artistic side. Which he appreciates.

Both he and my aries Mum ahve been together for ages and are still very happy.

They are both sporty.(everyone in our family is like a bean pole lol my metabolism is like zoom!!)

I feel he is a very loving father:-)

What are your experiences of Virgo dads:-)

[Mary Kae]

WOW! You could have described my Virgo dad to a tee! Are you my sister??? ;)

I find that he is a really dutiful son-in-law to my mom's side of the family, even when they REALLY don't make it easy... incidentally there's a lot of Virgo in my mom's family...

Downside: Can be a little controlling but in true Virgo fashion, it tends to be about little things. I've never experienced the type of "I AM THE LAW" authoritarian stuff like you might get from a Taurus, Scorp or Leo.

My dad was a Virgo as well. I consider myself very lucky to have had him. He was very responsible. He worked like crazy for us. Although we were poor, I never noticed it since he made sure we always had the best.

Virgos are great dads!

[Louise Mulholland]

WOW great to see such great examples around:-)!

Yeah they are pretty cool!:-)

What marykae said is true too they are not too authoritarian i love that !

Not controlling very supportive!

Yeah they take their responsibility to heart would never let you down!

[Rebecca]

It's SO true! Virgo dads are very, extremely responsible. My dad worked and works like craaaaaaaazy for my sibling and I. Just to make sure we have a good and happy life. He wants to give us everything he couldn't have as a kid. However, I think since I'm a girl, my dad treats me like his little princess. If I were a boy I think the dynamics of our relationship would be very different, but he would still be the responsible dad I know.

[Ms. Virgo-Sun-Pisces-Moon]

Luckily i am perfect Lol:-)

Hahahahahahhahahahahahhaha! Yes!!!!

What a great post! What a great Father's Day present. Thank you for that! This makes me so happy.

[joswanprince]

I have Virgo dad too Lol!!^^
2 Virgos in the same roof, world war3!!
The good thing is you are a Cancer, so u can counter-balance his perfectionist nature.
With me, the generation gap just make our vision CLASH!
But the things that correct from Virgo dad, as you mention they're
1. Responsible
2. Keeper
3. have a little bit artistic skills
4. Married for ages
**My Virgo dad never cheat on my mom! Strike 25 years Anniversary!!^^
NEVER EVA EVA EVA CHEAT!! Woo-hoo!!

[joswanprince]

I think if Virgos cheating, that means he's not sure with his woman.
Once he settled he will be just and true!!
They're can't rationalize love, so they become floating with their volatile, wobbly emotions..that's why
Virgo man always carry mixed messages >:)

[Louise Mulholland]

Thats true !

My dad has never cheated either:-) I think you are right about virgo men not being able to understand their emotions sometimes!



They sometimes need help from you for that ..........but they get better when they get older!

I think they start to understand themselves more.

I find virgos quite straight forward.

It is only if they are unsure ...but because i have been around one for so long i understand them.

It is true with what you say about artistic skills virgos can do anything they are so intelligent.

Congrats on your mum and dad:-) THATS GREAT!!

[ananda]

Wow, so we're all in the Virgo Dads club!
My Dad: Virgo with Sadge Moon (=my Sun), and some other close, nice aspects to my chart.
We had an amazing relationship til I was 10-12, full of magic and dreams; then it was so painful it felt like not having skin; and then when I was ca 20, again our connection became amazing - beyond my hopes & dreams.
He had a very varied and interesting life, but a hard start, as a child of war in Finland - plenty of loss and tragedy there, something I think he never could get past, really.
He was highly intelligent and creative, invented irrigation systems, super-rational & analytical.
He was not terribly orderly with material things, just with concepts, argumentation, etc.
He could be extremely and painfully and cuttingly critical.
According to my mother, sexually he had a dominant, maybe a bit harsh side.
He was not good with money and as a self-employed man, often hired the wrong people.
He also loved nature and skiing and tennis and most of all sailing.
He had 2 marriages (my mother a Leo with Scorpio Moon, and his 2nd wife a Gemini with ...I don't know what year (she died in her 50s).
Sadly, after being in chronic pain for 1+ year after a car accident and feeling like his mind was not what it used to be, he chose to end his own life.
We had our battles and hardships, but in the end, he was the one I could trust more than anyone else, and I miss him like mad.

[Louise Mulholland]

Oh ananda that is so bitter sweet.

I think it is so wonderful you remember the good things .........very highly evolved and kind.

You are very generous in your memory of him and loving in your thoughts.

You describe Virgos so well.....it can go either way cant it??

I get your struggle with him being critical my fahter could be like that but he has learnt to be more sensitive and i have learnt to be stronger we learn lot from each other.

I am so sorry to hear about your fathers pain..........but it is amazing to hear of your love for him.......i cant imagine the mixed emotions such relationships must have .
Losing someone is not easy losing some one that way is not easy..........but it is wonderful you see his life and remember him for that and the sweet things and the loving things.
I am so sorry for his pain and yours!
But am am very impressed and greatly moved by your love and compassion for him and and your understanding.He sounds like a very interesting man and very Virgo! I am sure he loved you very much:-)

As i said you describe virgos so well and it can go either way!

My father had a very tough upbringing in abject poverty but through scholarships and his intellect he completed his PHD and and is now still studying for another degree in something else. He was champion chess player.

But he has had demons .............he suffered from alcoholism and a lot of not understanding his own emotions and particularly his childhood. He had wonderful parents but they were very poor ..........but they got him out of there and gave him the inner skills and qualities develop his intellect.His father would spend time with his maths etc.

But i think the poverty hurt him i remember him telling me about days of no food whatsoever and being starving and of having to cook on the open fire without elecricity.

Yet he managed to become a man who speaks three languages has many degrees and has overcome alcoholism and now is studying psychology to help others! He has done AMAZINGLY well financially for himself. And most of all he has learnt (partially from studying psychology actually and partially with help form his family and of course cancer daughter:-) to understand himself and his wounds and to heal emotionally he has evolved tremendously emotionally. And he is happy .......well for a VIRGO LOL:-)!!!

I think yours is a beautiful bitter sweet sensitive story ananda thank you very much for sharing it and i am sure your father appreciates the way you remember him...it must be confusing the palate of emotion in that sotry is so broad it covers the entire rainbow of emotion and every shade. All at once .....i guess that is what your relationship with him is a RAINBOW!. Every colour every feeling and everyshade. All there to make a whole.

[ananda]

i just found this...forgot to 'follow' the thread!
thanks, louise, for all those sweet and kind and heartfelt words...you really are one stream-of-consciousness river of flowing emotions! with lots of heart. blowing bubbles and tossing wildflowers as you go.
did you say your dad's moon sign? what's his venus? saturn?
i do think that when we can feel thankful for whatever gifts our parents did give us, on whatever level, it sets us free too. i'm very thankful that i got to have such a full circle with my dad.
oh but i have work to do with that & what regards my mother...

[Louise Mulholland]

Cheers!
