Will a Virgo come back, and what has to happen before he does

A Virgo comes back when he has finished working out what happened. That's the whole timeline, and it's why this question is harder to answer for this sign than for the loud ones. The clock isn't running on how much he misses you. It's running on whether the thinking has got somewhere he can act from, and that's happening where you can't see it, with no progress reports.

The compensation is that when he does come back, he tends to arrive with something worked out. That's rarer across the twelve than you'd think.

Why resolution rather than feeling sets the pace

Mutable earth won't move on an unfinished conclusion.

Feeling something isn't enough for him. Plenty of signs return on a bad Tuesday, on a song, on three drinks and an old photo, and he isn't one of them. He can miss you steadily for five months and do nothing at all about it, because missing you is a symptom and he hasn't yet decided what it means.

So the question people bring to a reunion, does he still care, isn't the one that predicts anything here. He probably does. It's close to irrelevant to whether he turns up.

What predicts something is whether anything has happened to make him rerun the file. A mutable sign changes its answer when the inputs change, and it very rarely changes it because somebody outside asked it to.

What his return actually looks like

Composed. Late. Unromantic in a way that turns out to be quite romantic.

No drunk message at two in the morning, no grand gesture, no reappearance mid-crisis. What arrives instead is considered and slightly formal, and it often contains an account of what he thinks went wrong and a proposal about what would be different. Some of them have rehearsed it. A few have written it down.

People find that strange and then find it moving, usually in that order. He isn't managing you. He doesn't think you should ask for something back without having done the work first, and he'd be embarrassed to turn up empty-handed.

The terms in it are real, by the way. He'll have thoughts about what needs to change on both sides, and he'll say them, possibly at the worst moment.

The three honest problems

First, the review can conclude no. A Virgo no is quiet and reasoned and comes with workings, and it holds better than one made in temper, because it never was.

Second, a plan isn't a change. He can arrive with an immaculate account of what went wrong and then, under real pressure in month four, do the identical thing. Understanding a fault and behaving differently are separate achievements, and this sign is much better at the first. That gap is what to watch, rather than the quality of his speech about it.

Third, mutable revises everything, including this. He can reopen the return itself. That's the least discussed risk here and the one that catches people hardest, because they were braced for the ending and not for the reconsidering.

What doesn't move him

Nothing you can operate on purpose, and I'd rather say so than hand you a technique.

Argument doesn't work, because he has already had the argument with himself and won it. Escalation doesn't work, because volume isn't evidence. Going quiet at him as a strategy doesn't either, since he'll read the silence as a data point and file it, which is not what anybody means by sending a message.

The one honest thing to say about space is mechanical. While you're still supplying material, the analysis keeps restarting, and one that never ends produces no decision in either direction. That isn't a technique and it comes with nothing promised.

Where a sun sign stops predicting

His sun tells you a return would be reasoned rather than impulsive. It has no view at all on whether the reasoning lands on you, and that's the only part you care about.

That sits in your own history with him, and in his moon, which holds what the months have cost him and needs the hour he was born. The rest of what governs a reunion is not sign specific at all.

The way Stella runs a reunion question on this sign

She reads the chart and then sets it down, and says she's setting it down, which people don't expect from an astrologer.

Mercury first, because Mercury rules him and its sign describes how his conclusions get made. Then Mars, since Mars is how a person goes after what they want, and it explains why some Virgos go back for things and others never do. After that she wants your side, because the birthday has stopped being the useful document by then. How long the ending took to arrive. Whether he's restated it since. What has changed around him.

Timing she names as a wide window and then declines to narrow, which is unsatisfying and is the only honest position on a clock nobody can see. She also won't put him in a room, a town or a Saturday night, which is worth spelling out because it's exactly what gets asked for at this stage of waiting. What he's doing tonight is a fact about somebody's week, and no chart holds one. Anything offered there would be a picture she painted, and pictures like that leave with you and get built on.

Decide your answer before it lands

With this sign the approach tends to come with a proposal attached, and you may only get one clean go at replying to it.

The months since he ended it have been a long private piece of work for him and something completely different for you. Bring his date, how long the ending took to arrive, and what has changed for him since, and take that to somebody rather than reading four months of politeness for signs.
