The Virgo Husband

　　August 24 to September 23

　　Almost the only kind of wife for the Virgo husband is the Virgo wife. These men are not interested in love in the passionate, personal, possessive sense of the term. They are usually conventional, traditionally-minded men, who accept domesticity because it is part of the social scheme. They are willing to conduct private life on a partnership basis, as if it were a commercial enterprise. In many cases they would prefer to be bachelors, and this sign does produce the bachelor by natural inclination. They are so abstemious that they cannot bear to indulge even themselves. Stinginess, a vice that has kept many a man from matrimony, is present in either a small or large degree in the Virgo mature.

　　As husbands, they are much like the women of the type. The high quality Virgoan is a capable man, making comfortable provision for his wife and family. If he is fussy, critical, peevish or complaining, (especially about health and expenses) he is also composed, kindly, thoughtful and conscientious. He safeguards his home and is careful to protect it from material disaster.

　　Unless there are other stimulating factors in the horoscope, the Virgo husband is not virile. He has little male dominance in his make-up, and is as loath to demand surrender as he is to give himself. He does not have a passionate urge, and his deepest approach to love is flirtation, or a play at love. Erotic flights of passion would never be attempted by him, and his point of view toward even average sexual performance is not enthusiastic.
