Snapping a Virgo out of a negative spin.

So many details, so much room for error. Virgos look at things from every conceivable angle, then re-examine.

Sometimes this can lead to a negative loop where said Virgo can't break out of negative thought patterns. Especially when evaluating something that is powerfully and emotionally charged. Virgos can tear apart memories of bad events and re-live the horrors in new and creative ways, such perceptive powers can have their draw backs when dealing with trauma.

Any recommendations on how to help keep my Virgo lady on the positive tip?

    The only thing that can suggest is to let her talk and reassure her, that she is a beautiful person. That all that has happened to her, are but lessons.

    Many times, Virgos won't say exactly whats going with them. They are so busy helping everyone else out, that they forget they that should take the help that is available for them also. At good friend of mine is a Virgo, and this guy picks me up for church every Sunday morning. One time he looked so sad, I asked him what was wrong, and he said "Nothing" I knew better, and all said to him was: You know what _____, when God made you, he broke the mold into a thousand pieces, there will be none like you, there is none like you, and there will never be one like you, again. You are a masterpiece, and I'm glad that you are my friend." I could see the smile on his face, and I almost saw a tear in his eye. That made him feel better. And was sincere, when I said it. Sincere compliments, hugs, and a gentle smile, will hopefully make her feel better. Also, remind her, that she is needed, and wanted and loved, by you, and cared about by us.

        I add to the reassurance thing a basic "make them laugh". Really, if you can do that, the spin will end pretty quickly. If you can't, give a little space for it to work through and it'll resolve.

          Noted, if I can make her laugh (which isn't too hard with my Cancer Rising loonieness) she'll come around. It's the Sense of Humor Failures that I have a tough time dealing with. Usually we have a rule around here that SoHFs are not allowed. When they do occur, I can't fall back on my trusty wit...

            Tia whispered....

            I gotcha. Ok, trusty wit aside (failing aside - her spin IS NOT YOUR ISSUE. (Tia yells ;-)
            So how do you deal with them so that you both help yourself and you?

            Sounds like an age old question.

            Have you run both of your full charts? Astrodienst (spelling may be off at the moment) has free ones that you can run that may show more than a simple sign.

            Cancers are fabulous people to "get' this kind of thing.

            So now to get a little more psycho-astro-social...changes are that these negatives spins are happening over some pretty deep issues that aren't easily spun out of. There are tools but she's going to need to use them, use what works for her, and toss the rest.

            Sense of humor failures are generally pretty common among a lot of virgos (depending on rest of chart).

            I do think the reassurance and giving space. If you want me to suggest some other tools that can help, see if she's cool with posting the info and I'll work up a chart. I think astrology is a tool but it's not the only solution :-)

            Tia whispers: Just love her.

    Something is making her cling to her negative energy, she cycles round and round in it. We have laughs for a few minutes, but then it's back to being an ouch cube for her. I really miss the vibrant and fun lady she used to be. The negative cloud drains my precious positive energy away...

      If that is the case. Move on. She's probably picking up on that you already are feeling drained so "laughing" is simply not enough. If you make a joke or something when she's feeling something deeply, I can tell you right now that means to her that you don't understand just where she is.

      What I would do is stop paying attention to it. My humble intuïtion tells me this has not much to do with the virgo thing. It feels to me as if she somehow is leading you in a weird dance. Something within her loves the loving care & attention you give her as she is in the ouch cube stage. Your very attention to her feels like a 'reward'. Maybe something she never ever got from anyone, and now she can't get enough of it. See what i mean? The negative turns into something positive for her; something she secretly likes.

      So try another song. Reward her with your attention ONLY if she's behaving positive. behave neutral (not cold) and refuse to reward her with your loving care & attention if she's behaving negative. Kiss her every time she's cheerful. Ignore her if she's draining you.

      As a fellow Virgo negative spinner I can say it can be HARD do pull out of the spiral. what helps?

      when I force my self to repeat a positive phrase 5 times every time I say or think one of my negative cyclic thoughts.. seems to start breaking the cycle.

      when I force my self to read aloud my list of positive things I am focused on as goals.

      laughter gotta admit that helps... so does passion and lust and romance.. any thing to titilate me. I can tell you start telling me how sexy etc i am nibbling my neck and ear and then tease the crap out of me.. untill I beg for more and my mind is not on negative any more

    Virgo Sun, Virgo Asc, Virgo Venus, all in the first house speaking here, I am currently in a real negative spin myself and I think it has to do with all the Scorpionic energy running through the sky lately. It forces us Virgos to confront truth in our relationships. All that energy finding the underlying truth of each interaction can worry a person like myself. Too much to question to much to consider. There is just too much of late.

    I need a mini vacation and a chance to stop thinking. Maybe your woman does too. Take her out, usurp some of her responsibility, treat her extra nice. Buena Suerte hermano....

    Thank you all so much for your insight, I've taken lots of advice that I learned in this thread and applied it directly to my Virgo lady in an attempt to lift the black negative cloud that was keeping her down.

    Basically I sat her down and asked her if she had anything positive to say about herself. We took her answers and used them to pull her out of her negative swing. That is one of the things I love about Virgos, if you apply enough simple rational logic to a situation, they will eventually respond regardless of their emotional state.

    She pulls out of her spin a lot faster when she feels good about herself. Trying to pump up her morale and keep her in a positive head space.

        Ok, this is hot. No wonder I adore Virgos! I usually get a reaction when I kiss the back of her neck, and nibble on it gently.
