The Virgin is the stationary depiction of the sixth sign and is the most common denominator when discussing Virgo’s symbolism and imagery. The terminology belonging to this first archetype has become interchangeable with “The Maiden” as the word “virgin” often implies a chaste individual, misconstruing the motives and experiences behind the classic example of Virgo.
The Maiden is usually depicted as a young girl—perhaps one coming of age—who is in the pursuit of her own unique independence. She has a willingness to learn (though that usually happens on her own terms) and an unquenchable thirst for self-satisfaction and sustaining her accomplishments. Though a rather solitary creature she may be, there is a warmth to her that is inviting and inclusive. And although it is true that she prefers her lonesome as it gives her the opportunity to pursue her goals and aspirations without disturbance, The Maiden has a collection of friends for which she can turn to or consult when a problem arises. However, take into consideration that it is rare for a scenario to be so complicated and immense that she cannot tame it on her own.
The first piece of the Virgo quartet is quite reflective of “the default Virgo” in that it is just her and her obstacles—nobody and nothing else. She is a stranger to appearing aloof as she’s always focused, soaking up as much information as possible while all storing it in a private place to reflect upon much later. She may have a busy moon—one that has made it so that she is a step or two ahead of everybody else, but her ascendant may be calm and quiet, making it so that her surface is left unscathed and uniform. This Virgo is measured and determined in her pursuits. She is looking for the best possible outcome in her journey and she will not settle for less. She is not a perfectionist, but rather an idealist. She knows who she is, what she wants, and the manner pertaining as to how she will acquire her desires. The Maiden is uncomplicated, she’s looking for a way to succeed without any outside influences, and she’s certainly no damsel in distress.

Your sexuality is delicate and fastidious. The way to your heart is through your head. While you can intellectually assent to any number of unusual or unorthodox views and positions on any number of subjects, in practice you are pretty conservative and hard-headed when it comes to relationships, particularly when sex is involved. You can easily become cynical.
You are not the most highly sexed sign of the zodiac, but you are perhaps the most intellectual. At the same time, being an Earth Sign, ruled by the planet Mercury (the messenger of the gods and the ruler of intellect and communication), you like to keep a critical eye on the proceedings with a view to not letting things get out of hand. You will experiment with a good grace, especially if convinced that you can trust your partner not to make too much of a mess, or leave things in total disarray, but basically you prefer a more refined form of sexual relationship, wherein sex has its place (in the bedroom) and decorum rules.
A meeting of minds is what you really prefer, although this is not to say that you never get horny. The more adventurous amongst you will throw caution to the winds for a while as you sow your oats, but will invariably need to return to your own ordered spaces to consider and categorize the experience.
Admirers must realize that Virgo can be quite spectacularly moody and may lash out with a sharp tongue if an affront be perceived, but can be assured that if they are well-presented and trustworthy, you will respond well to the slow but steady approach.
In the art of lovemaking, you present a slow-burning fuse that, once properly lit, ignites an explosion of white heat which can take a while to cool down. Moreover, you can be a devoted and caring partner for someone with whom you feel an intellectual rapport and whose mind you respect.
