Well with Astrology there is the danger of over simplifying. For instance while it is Virgo the Virgin, Virgo does not signify innocences and virginity.

People born in the Year of the Rat are noted for their charm and attraction for the opposite sex. They work hard to achieve their goals, acquire possessions, and are likely to be perfectionists. They are basically thrifty with money. Rat people are easily angered and love to gossip. Their ambitions are big, and they are usually very successful. They are most compatible with people born in the years of the Dragon, Monkey, and Ox.

However the element that is associated will also factor in, the above is also an overly simplified explaination.

An example of this would be that we are in the Year of the Fire Pig. While this site will try to get you to buy services there is plenty of free information on it, if you want to know what element you are for Chinese astrology you can put in your month, day, and year of birth and find out http://chinese.astrology.... am a Wood Snake. The elements in Chinese astrology are Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, Water

The elements for western astrology are not based on the year you were born but the sign you are in, for example you are Virgo so your element would be Earth

Virgo - Eartgh - Mutable - Negative
Ruled by Mercury
Symbol the Virgin
Night Forces - Feminine

[men or women would be feminine just as say male or female Leo's are masculine]

In this instance the positive negative does not mean positive as in good and negative as in bad but more like you would think of the positive negative of a magnet.

So you may want to actually look more deeply than just the surface meaning. Best references for western astrology would be the Linda Goodman books. or www.linda-goodman.com

From one of Linda Goodman's books the twelve stages of development the idea that we all go through all the stages in different lifetimes
Aries the infant "I am" to teach that love is innocence and to learn that love is trust
Taurus the baby "I have" to teach that love is patience and learn that love is forgiveness
Gemini the child "I think" to teach that love is awareness and learn that love is feeling
Cancer the adolescent "I feel" to teach that love is devotion and learn that love is freedom
Leo the teenager "I will" to teach that love is ecstasy and to learn that love is humility
Virgo the adult "I analyze" to teach that love is pure and to learn that love is fulfillment
Libra marriage "I balance" to teach that love is beauty and learn that love is harmony
Scorpio sex "I desire" to teach that love is passion and to learn that love is surrender
Sagittarius knowledge "I see" to teach that love is honesty and to learn that love is loyalty
Cappricorn experience "I use" to teach that love is wisdom and to learn that love is unselfish
Aquarius idealism "I know" to teach that love is tolerance an to learn that love is Oneness
Pisces submission "I believe" to teach that love is compassion and to learn that love is ALL

Well it looks like you got some lengthy descriptions of what your particular sign means... but Virgo doesn't represent in virginity in the terms of being sexually - um... well virgin. Check out this site http://www.novareinna.com... also a really good book to look at next time you are at the bookstore or library is
"The Little Big Book of the Zodiac" - it has information on both American and Chinese Astrology.

I'm a Pisces and a Monkey. And while I fit most of the Pisces traits - I'm not sure how fitting I am of the monkey (although monkeys are my favorite animals).
