Virgo and Aquarius compatibility
The one who perfects the system, and the one who wants a different system.
Virgo: August 23 – September 22. Aquarius: January 20 – February 18.
Are Virgo and Aquarius a good match?
Tradition calls it an awkward match rather than a bad one. What it runs on is fascination, and it lasts when curiosity outlives the confusion.
I will not hand you a percentage. A number like that is invented, and a Sun sign is one line of a long letter. Two people of any signs can love each other well.
What draws you together
You are both independent minds, and there is a cool, pleasurable respect in that. You can talk for hours about how things ought to work. Each of you likes that the other is not sentimental.
The hard part
Virgo lives in the particular, and Aquarius lives in the abstract. Neither of you is quick with a feeling, so a problem of the heart can get treated as a design flaw.
How your signs sit on the wheel
You sit five signs apart, a one-hundred-fifty-degree angle astrologers call a quincunx. You share no element and no way of moving, and you cannot see each other straight across the wheel either. Each of you keeps adjusting to a person you do not quite have the language for.
Air and earth speak different languages. One of you lives in what could be, the other in what is, and you each hold a piece the other cannot get alone.
One of you holds and the other flows. Each is a rest for the other, and each can quietly wear the other out.
What each of you is really asking
Virgo is asking: Could you love me on a day I do it wrong? Virgo brings devotion in small things and fears being found lacking.
Aquarius is asking: Can I belong to you and still belong to myself? Aquarius brings honest strangeness and fears being absorbed.
The desire under the question
Each of you wants to be thought intelligent by the other. Ask who, here, is allowed to be sad without a reason.
