Love Match - Aries and Virgo

When Aries and Virgo come together in a love match, they may think at first that they have
nothing in common and nothing to learn from one another. This relationship takes time to develop
as each partner must learn to understand where the other is coming from. Aries and Virgo can
seem like total opposites: While Aries is brash, dominant and aggressive, always jumping into
new things and almost always impatient, Virgo is detail-oriented and quiet, even shy, and works
patiently toward long-term goals. Aries's energy is fiery and impetuous while Virgo's is much
slower and more grounded. It's these very differences, however, that can teach Aries and Virgo
so much, once they just look beneath one another's surfaces to see what lies beneath.

Early in the relationship, Aries and Virgo may see nothing but one another's faults. Virgo thinks
Aries is way too brash, and Aries thinks Virgo is extremely fussy. But if they focus on one
another's strengths instead, they'll discover a great deal. Aries teaches Virgo about fun and
excitement, about the spontaneity that is often missing in Virgo's life. Virgo teaches Aries
patience and attention to detail, the knowledge that the little things -- and moments -- are
important too. Aries can teach their Virgo lover to take things less seriously. Virgo can teach Aries to be polite and value hard work.

Aries is ruled by the Planet Mars and Virgo is ruled by the Planet Mercury. Aries wants to rush out and fight without wasting time preplanning or strategizing. Conversely, Virgo wants to analyze everything and work out all the details before acting. These are such opposite approaches that strife can result. Both Signs must make a conscious effort to learn from one another's method rather than letting their partner's natural rhythm bother to the point of distraction.

Aries is a Fire Sign and Virgo is an Earth Sign. Where Aries is all fiery impetuosity, Virgo is
grounded practicality. Virgo weighs all the options before devoting any serious effort, while Aries simply sees what they want and dives in! This is true both in career and in personal relationships -- which can be something of a stumbling block. If Aries has decided it's Virgo they want, they might be frustrated for some time to come, waiting for Virgo to make up their mind about whether the relationship is a good idea.

Aries is a Cardinal Sign and Virgo is a Mutable Sign. Virgo doesn't need to be the leader or the
boss; they're glad to follow another's suggestion once they decide it's a viable one. Aries, on the
other hand, wants to make those suggestions -- every time. This is a beneficial dynamic if these
two Signs are working as a team toward a common goal.

What's the best aspect of the Aries-Virgo relationship? Their great effectiveness as a team --
business or personal. Their personalities, opposite in so many ways, make for a highly
complementary relationship.
