Although you approach problems and ideas
from different perspectives, you have a good mental rapport. Virgo
focuses on specific details, and prefers to specialise in a certain
area, while Aquarius takes a wider, more global view and looks for
interrelationships in a large system, without as much focus on any
particular area of specialisation. Virgo is more concerned with
effective and precise application of plans, and helps Aquarius to
practically apply ideas. You make a good team in social or intellectual
pursuits. Your relationship may be a bit cool or formal, however, and
hopefully there are other astrological factors (as described elsewhere
in this report) to provide warmth, affection and romantic or sexual
attraction.
A major difference in your temperaments
is that Aquarius, deep down, is rebellious toward authority and rather
indifferent to convention and tradition. Aquarius has a taste for
excitement and needs to experiment and shake things up once in a while.
Virgo is more careful, and feels much more comfortable and safe
following a secure, tried-and-true path. Virgo loves order, while
Aquarius disrupts order so that something new can happen.
Also, Virgo is more introspective and
serious about self-improvement than Aquarius, who is interested in
social improvement, but is often out of touch with their own feelings
and inner life.
Lively exchanges of ideas are common
between the two of you. Fortunately, you understand each other well, but
unfortunately you sometimes have opposite opinions and perspectives on
an issue. Despite your differences, you work together very well in
practical matters, planning, organising, developing or communicating
ideas, and your differing view points are not likely to be a serious
problem.
As a couple, you will have many unusual
experiences, and a lot of friends who are unique, interesting, creative,
and quite different from one another. You could gather a
"family" around you that is quite unlike a traditional or
"normal" family, including adopted relatives and close
friends. A certain openness, acceptance of deviance from the norm, and
willingness to learn from unexpected sources will be essential in this
relationship. Being able to flow with change and live in the present
moment will be necessary too, as there is a certain, ongoing movement in
your relationship that precludes settling down to any established
routine for very long.
There is a magnetic, rather intense
attraction between you, and it is very likely that you will go through
many intense challenges and emotionally powerful experiences together,
even if your relationship is not a permanent one.
This is a "hot" relationship.
Sexual and physical attraction is strong, tending to lead to hot pursuit
of each other. Subtlety is lacking and one, or both, of you may feel
your approach to sexuality is too aggressive or insensitive. You also
enjoy competing with each other and working hard together. Competitive
sports, games, and outdoor activities are good outlets. You must strive
to avoid conflict because the aggressive quality of your relationship
can easily flare into anger and hostility.
Issues such as tidiness and neatness at
home, use of abusive or foul language, choice of foods, tastes in music
and decor, approaches towards raising children, etc. come to the fore.
At times you will come to an impasse and feel that you cannot come to an
agreement on these issues. Aquarius, in particular, may become very
frustrated by some of Virgo's deeply ingrained, personal habits. If your
ethnic backgrounds or upbringings are very different, this problem can
be severe. If both of you can be tolerant, open-minded, accepting of
shortcomings in your mate, and willing to learn new attitudes, you can
turn potentially frustrating situations into opportunities to mature and
grow emotionally.
Aquarius's philosophical, political, and
religious beliefs will undergo some major changes as a result of this
relationship, particularly if the relationship is a long-term, serious
one. In trying to adapt to Virgo's views, Aquarius discovers the value
in new perspectives and ideas that previously were not considered.
Virgo often limits, burdens, or
frustrates Aquarius without intending to or realising it. There is a
conflict here between Virgo's needs for security, stability, and order
versus Aquarius's desire for freedom, mobility, and expansiveness. How
much, and in what ways, you spend money is probably a particularly
thorny issue for you. Virgo is more careful and restrictive or
disapproving of Aquarius's more relaxed, extravagant, or liberal
approach.
Also, Virgo often seeks to control or
dominate Aquarius, and Aquarius may even take a subordinate role in the
relationship for a time, accepting Virgo's "discipline". Over
time, however, Aquarius may find Virgo's subtle (or not so subtle!)
criticism or constraints to be devitalising and draining. And Aquarius,
on the other hand, can make Virgo feel like a perpetual wet blanket or
miser.
Working together or going into business
as equal partners is unlikely to work out well for you. It's best if you
can respect one another's differing approaches and not seek to impose
your own values or styles on one another.
