Virgo and Pisces compatibility

Straight across the wheel: what can be fixed, and what can only be felt.

Virgo: August 23 – September 22. Pisces: February 19 – March 20.

Are Virgo and Pisces a good match?

Tradition calls it a magnetic match and a demanding one. It works when you stop arguing about which end of the rope is the right one.

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 the two ends of service: one through useful hands, the other through an open heart. Virgo gives Pisces's dreams a floor, and Pisces shows Virgo that some things are already forgiven.

The hard part

Virgo tries to repair Pisces, and Pisces slips out from under it. Virgo becomes the keeper and resents it, and Pisces feels judged and disappears.

How your signs sit on the wheel

You sit straight across the wheel from each other, the angle astrologers call an opposition. You move through the world the same way, from opposite ends of one question. This is the strongest pull on the wheel, and also the strongest tug of war.

Earth holds water. One of you gives the other a shore, and the other keeps the ground from going dry. It is one of the most naturally tender combinations there is.

You are both adapters. You bend around each other gracefully, and it is possible for neither of you ever to say what you actually want.

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.

Pisces is asking: If I dissolve into this, will you hold the shape of me? Pisces brings tenderness without conditions and fears being too much, and then too little.

The desire under the question

Virgo wants to be needed and wants someone else to take a turn. Pisces wants to be accepted unrepaired. Each of you holds the other's rest.
