I'm a Leo with a Virgo Venus and a lot of planets (six) in signs that emphasize the mind.

My mom asked me once why I wasn't dating all the time when girls who didn't have half the advantages I had (smart and pretty) were always being asked out.  I didn't notice most men who looked at me, and I dumped others for what she thought were silly reasons.

I said, Mom, I can't talk to them.

If I don't have a mental connection with someone, it'll never work.  That's where the famous Virgo pickiness comes from.

I am Sun Scorpio, Moon Aquarius, Venus Virgo (exactly quincunx my Moon), Mars Scorpio (conjunct/combust Sun).  I am not easily attracted to just anybody....maybe that's redundant....but when I am, well...I'm a Scorpio.

The young lady in question may very well be super focused on her studies.  She seems very nice, as do you.  I wish you both well.

Just be straight about your intentions, but first get them settled within yourself before approaching her (or any relationship for that matter with a potential for a mature, vulnerable relationship).

Have a conversation with her about relationships. You cannot expect her to divulge her stance and emotions about stuff if you don't ask. It's cool that you are doing some groundwork. Many can appreciate that, but follow through with it, and be patient. A Virgo woman will not be pushed or coerced (which goes for many signs in general).

I have a friendship with a woman who has this placement and my Cap Venus (among others), Taurus Moon and Scorpio placements enjoy her and the depth and vulnerability she brings. I was straight with her too....told her "hey, we chat and all, but let's TALK."

Make your move.

Talk is underrated in relationships.
