Hey all, looking for some Virgo insight here please.

My 17yr old sister is a Virgo and has a total of 5 planets in Virgo so I'd say she's more or less as Virgo as you get!

Anyway, she was involved in a car crash last night, her best friend was driving and apparently they hit ice and went into a ditch. After being checked out at A&E she's lucky to have just some bruised ribs and a mild concussion but the police and doctor have said they are both lucky to be alive - the car is a total write-off.

Now she phones me today because she collapsed at work and asks to come over. She's really upset and emotional and has had a fright - understandably. I asked her why she never went home - SHE NEVER EVEN PHONED OUR PARENTS!

I asked her why and she said she didn't want to worry them. I've had to call them and explain and of course they are worried sick - she even went as far as to give ME as her next of kin at the hospital.

She says she was ok and just didn't want them to panic or worry but I'm totally baffled, if I were in an accident they would be the first people I would have called.

I'm just wondering if this is a Virgo thing, not wanting to burden others I mean and dealing with things on your own?

My parents are really upset of course, I mean had she been badly hurt or worse the hospital would have called ME and they would have been left sitting asking why she didn't feel she couldn't tell them.

Hell it took me 4 hours to persuade her to let me phone them and let them know.

I am truly puzzled.

Sorry to hear about the accident.

As for your sister's behavior, I think u do not need to think much. Some virgos do not get along well with parents and some of them hate their parents and do not trust them. TRUST is a main issue.

If there is no issue, virgos are known to create one. So I understand it must be hurtful to you all, leave the virgo alone if they want it that way. Seems like she is trying to show your parents she can live without them. That is sad.

Thanks Capgirl and Q - she is very independent, and Capgirl I think you may have hit the nail on the head, she seems to want to test my parents at every opportunity just to wind them up! She seems to trust me most out of the family, I'm the one she turns to for help all the time. I think that may be because I don't lecture or patronise her, I tell her the facts and let her make her own mind up, so she knows she can tell me anything and isn't going to be berated for it.

Martian she is a Virgo lol.

As someone who has raised two Virgo daughters and is now dating a Virgo (guess I REALLY like Virgos. LOL), I can vouch for Capgirl and Q. My girls (and my boyfriend) are all very independent, and my youngest daughter seems to use every opportunity to push my buttons (could be a mother/daughter thing or could be a Scorp/Virgo thing, dunno). It can be a delicate balancing act. Hang in there.

I would guess that she felt in some way that they could criticise something about her behaviour before the crash (why were you with HER? Had you had a drink?) and that she was already criticising herself enough and did not want to face any further comments...

...or it may be nothing to do with being a Virgo. She may just be a normal teenager! Communication with parents isn't a t apremium for a lot of 17 year olds (though I must say, I'd have wanted mine to know and be there for me).

How is her relationship with them generally?
