Virgo and Libra 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 starts and the other adjusts along the way: a good team for projects that change.
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 Libra is cardinal — inicia. Different rhythms: what one doesn't do, the other can.
Polarity. Virgo is Yin and Libra 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); Libra, by Venus (affection and pleasure).
What each one brings
Virgo: attention to detail, analysis and organization.
Libra: diplomacy, justice and harmony.
Where they can clash
Virgo: perfectionism, high self-expectations and excessive criticism.
Libra: indecision, avoiding conflict and superficiality.
How to look after the bond
Give yourselves time to get to know each other: what seems incompatible at first is often exactly what the other has to teach.
