The dynamic
How Aries and Virgo get on
Aries and Virgo are 150° apart. Astrologers call this a quincunx, an awkward angle. Your elements (fire and earth) are different, and so are your modes (cardinal and mutable). You have little in common at first. The relationship works through many small adjustments and a real interest in each other’s way of living.
Love · Hard
In love
Virgo is often attracted by Aries’s courage. In return, Virgo offers attention, practical help and quiet devotion. What matters is whether each of you feels looked after. Aries needs honesty, some challenge and the chance to lead. Virgo needs reliability, patience and small, practical signs of care. Aries and Virgo show love in different ways. Patience and curiosity help you understand each other, and that brings you closer.
Friendship · Tense
As friends
As friends, Aries is the one who suggests the plan and makes it happen. Virgo is the one who actually helps you when you move house. You show each other people and places you would never find alone.
Work · Tense
At work
At work, Aries gets results by acting first and correcting mistakes later. Virgo gets results by getting the details right. Aries is a cardinal sign, so it sets the direction. Virgo is a mutable sign, so it adjusts the details as things change. Virgo’s flexibility is a skill, not a lack of opinion.
Making it work
Three things to try
- Explain your habits and routines to each other. Most problems here come from two different ways of living.
- Watch for impatience from Aries and criticism from Virgo.
- Sun signs are only one part. Compare your Moon signs for feelings and your Venus signs for love.
