Astrological compatibility
Virgo and Aquarius

Virgo and Aquarius in love
In love, Air brings ideas and lightness and Earth brings calm and presence. It works when Air follows through on what it says and Earth opens up to the new.
In friendship and work
In friendship and work, one brings stability and the other flexibility. It works if the fixed one tolerates change and the mutable one respects what was agreed.
Why they get along this way
Element — Ideas and facts. Air thinks in possibilities and Earth in what can be sustained. Air gives Earth perspective and Earth gives shape to Air's ideas — or they lose patience with each other.
Rhythm. Virgo is mutable — adapta — and Aquarius is fixed — sostiene. Different rhythms: what one doesn't do, the other can.
Polarity. Virgo is Yin and Aquarius is Yang: one goes outward and the other inward, and that balances them or pulls them apart.
Rulers. Virgo is ruled by Mercury (words and ideas); Aquarius, by Uranus and Saturn (freedom and change; structure and time).
What each one brings
Virgo: attention to detail, analysis and organization.
Aquarius: innovation, originality and humanitarianism.
Where they can clash
Virgo: perfectionism, high self-expectations and excessive criticism.
Aquarius: emotional detachment, rebelliousness and unpredictability.
How to look after the bond
Ask before assuming: what's obvious to one isn't to the other.
