When Aries and Virgo come together, they may at first think they
have nothing in common and not much to learn from each other.
This is a relationship that takes time to develop, and each
partner must learn to understand where the other is coming from.
In many ways, Aries and Virgo are opposites: Aries is brash,
dominant, and aggressive, always jumping into new things, usually
impatient. Virgo is detail oriented and quiet, even shy, and
works patiently toward goals. Because of their many differences,
Aries and Virgo can learn a great deal from each other once they
look beyond the surface.
Early in the relationship, Aries and Virgo may see nothing in
each other but their faults. Aries may seem too brash, and Virgo
may seem fussy. But once they stop learning about each others'
faults and begin focusing on their strengths, 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 are important too. Aries may feel Virgo is
overcritical, but they will teach their partner to take things
less seriously. Virgo may accuse Aries of being ill-mannered and
impulsive, but can teach them to be polite and value hard work.
Aries is ruled by the Planet Mars, and Virgo is ruled by the
Planet Mercury. The soldiers of Mars want to rush out and fight,
without preplanning or strategizing. Conversely, Virgo wants to
analyze everything and work out all the details before committing
to action. Both Signs need to take the time to see the value of
their partner's approach; Aries can teach Virgo to be less
critical and more spontaneous, at the same time gaining stability
from Virgo's even keel.
Aries is a Fire Sign, and Virgo is an Earth Sign. Aries begins a
new project based on whim and interest, while Virgo is more
analytical. Virgo will weigh all options before devoting their
serious effort, while Aries simply sees what they want and dives
in! Although these partners may find it difficult to walk in
their partner's shoes, when they work together they make an
excellent business team and an efficient couple based on their
differing approaches.
Aries is a Cardinal Sign, and Virgo is a Mutable Sign. Virgo
doesn't need to be the leader or the boss; when they are given a
viable suggestion and see a role for them self in it, they are
glad to follow the suggestion. Aries, on the other hand, is the
one who makes the suggestion in the first place and assigns roles
to the other participants. Their lack of conflict over roles
helps Aries and Virgo work on the same project with great
success.
The best aspect of the Aries-Virgo relationship is their great
effectiveness as a team -- business or personal. Metaphorically
as well as literally, Aries gets attention and respect by being
out in the field doing sales and marketing, while Virgo works
hard behind the scenes, balancing the books and following up on
details that no longer interest Aries. Their personalities,
opposite in so many ways, make for a highly complementary
relationship.
