Hi. I’m so in love with my Male Sept 5 Virgo. He’s lovely to look upon, and loving, with a quirky sense of humor. He tends to have anger issues, however, yet not with me. He bides his time and takes a lot, yet when the end of the rope shows up? He has a wicked tongue and bite. What is the best way to respectfully help him channel reason and if/then thoughts before he angrily responds? It’s never without a real reason. I’ve seen it in action and learned to, once I assess the situation, just walk away and let that rage work itself out. For now? Best I can do. Many MANY positives. I am deeply in love. Oh. I am a female 22 Dec Capri

Hi Deanna,
I’m a Virgo and I typically don’t “blow up” about things unless the person who annoyed me just refuses to leave me alone after I’ve told them several times. In those cases you get what you get with me because you kept poking this bear. I don’t yell at, scream at, or argue with people. My parents have been married for 49yrs and have argued every single day of their lives. In turn, that made me extremely non tolerant of bickering, elevated voices and yelling. As soon as I hear it I go numb and completely tune out. I’ve found there’s really one way and one way only to get me to calm down…..GO AWAY AND LEAVE ME ALONE.
When I’m pissed I MUST be left alone for what I call “my reasonable amount of time.” “MY” reasonable amount of time is NOT when the other person decides I should talk to them again, it’s when I get good and ready to want to deal with them again. And there’s no guarantee that I actually will. So, that’s how this Virgo calms down. The more the person keeps pressing me to talk to them before my reasonable amount of time is up, the madder I get because I feel like they’re interfering with the time that I need to mentally process the situation. Don’t call me, text me, email me, nor send a message to me via someone else. Just stay away.
Sincere
