Virgo X Aries: Virtual opposites: The Virgo is a diligent worker, a faithful partner, and a born organizer; sparkling Aries lacks ongoing commitment but has pizzazz. He may sometimes chafe under Virgo's critical gaze. The Ram will dominate the pair, and his or her unpredictability will wreak havoc with Virgo's plans. But Virgo gives backbone to the Ram's impulses and guides him or her with valuable advice. The alchemy of opposites forges a constructive but continually strained relationship.

Virgo X Taurus: Two Earth-ruled signs which value tranquillity and discretion, they have all the ingredients for a harmonious love affair. Anxious Virgo finds reassurance in the stolid Bull, whereas the Taurean derives needed peace and energy from the Virgoan. A caress, a gaze, a gesture: each is worth a thousand words when it comes to expressing the tenderness that binds them together. Taurus dominates, to the delight of clinging vine Virgo. "The power of harmony, and the deep power of joy..."

Virgo X Gemini: Signs ruled by the planet Mercury, Gemini and Virgo are busy: one bubbles, while the other is purposeful. Creatures of reason, they can spend hours discussing their work, their friends, and their plans. Virgoan modesty loosens its bonds in the intimate surroundings of the bedroom, whereas Gemini's fires tend to burn low. Both are naturally anxious, and they may either reassure each other or, on the contrary, worry each other. This is the key to this cerebral pair, which may benefit from real affinities and inexhaustible potential for happiness.

Virgo X Cancer: This couple glows with a tranquil aura of harmony. Virgoan organizational skills reassure the anxious Crab, whereas the latter brings Virgo love and imagination. The devoted and dutiful Earth sign will never be wicked enough to push Cancer's buttons. The moonchild's moods are tolerated and coaxed back to less slippery terrain with patience and rationality, in the affectionate surroundings the Cancerian craves. Their life is orderly and calm, but never dull. They love each other simply, tenderly, and gracefully.

Virgo X Leo: Does elegance admit rivalry? Only in this case, where two different realms are involved. One partner is brilliant; the other, refined. The methodical, intellectual Virgoan may sometimes be irked by Leo's need to parade. Or, heaving a sigh, submit happily and work behind the scenes to rein in Lion's munificence and extravagance. In exchange, the Virgo receives inalienable, intense, and generous love which is tinged with torrid eroticism. To make the pleasure last, Virgo must overcome his or her legendary anxiety and assuage the Lion's every desire.

Virgo X Virgo: Narcissism or partnership? This identical pair may be a whiz at business, but emotional fulfillment is likely to elude them. Together, they contain an overdose of caution, modesty, and dutifulness. However, should they both resolve to put tenderness uppermost, the two Virgoans will communicate well. They share a singular passion for work and common sense which liberates them from many a sentimental or trivial constraint. Both thrive on intellectual activities and may happily spend the day reading or writing. But is that the purpose of love?

Virgo X Libra: These two emotionally remote signs are likely to strike up an intellectual understanding. They enjoy being together to argue, work, or attend social events. Both are blessed with grace and tact. From the Libran, the Virgo derives the enthusiasm which sometimes fails him or her but may criticize the other for his endless need to charm. As for the Libran, he or she is liable to be bored. The Virgo partner works so hard he has little time for love. This couple is not easy to construct, but it may thrive once a bond has formed.

Virgo X Scorpio: The more the Virgoan probes the Scorpio's mysterious personality, the more surprises he or she finds. But the Scorpio's display of confidence spirits away from the Virgo's anxieties. Also, the Scorpio may arouse the Virgo to unexpected frenzies of emotional intensity, especially in bed. These two signs have a great deal to learn from one another. They can observe, understand, and respect each other's private sides mutually: one is devoted to mystery and the other to business. And the intensely jealous Scorpio will find the Virgo to be unfailingly loyal and faithful.

Virgo X Sagittarius: It will take work, but it can be done. The independent character of each, reserved Virgo and exuberant Sagittarius, may thwart all understanding. Confident Sagittarius strides ahead, optimistic and ambitious, whereas anxious Virgo pulls back, careful to avoid danger as much as possible. Sometimes the couple may function as a complementary unit. Thus, Virgoan tact may compensate for Sagittarian frankness, and Sagittarian enthusiasm may banish Virgoan anguish. But basic differences are difficult to overcome, and this couple often succeeds only by an implacable effort of will.

Virgo X Capricorn: These Earth signs share the values of hard work, social advancement, and financial security. Although their love may be somewhat arid, they are skillful at climbing the social ladder together, and sustain each other through great effort, with unfailing loyalty. The Virgoan inspires the Capricorn and diverts him or her from a too-serious world; the Capricornian soothes the Virgoan, providing for the couple's material needs and freeing the latter's wit. If a perfect match existed, this would come close.

Virgo X Aquarius: The only turf these two signs can share is the intellectual one. The traditional, methodical Virgo panics in the absence of familiarity and routine; the Aquarius devotes himself to overturning the routine and modernizing the world. Likewise, in the emotional realm, Virgo seeks certainty while Aquarius craves the unpredictable. The Aquarian chill bothers the devoted Virgoan, who may reproach him or herself for some inner failing. However, love makes all things possible... But this couple will be a challenge for both partners to tackle.

Virgo X Pisces: Piscean imagination and poetry provide needed relief to Virgoan common sense, broadening horizons which would otherwise become monotonous. These two individuals share an open-mindedness which would promote discovery, and they may find a way to be happy together. The Piscean can sense the Virgo's desires intuitively, which is ideal for their sex life. If the Virgoan respects the Fish's mysterious inner depths, he or she will derive great rewards from Pisces. A sense of love is one of the gifts both individuals possess.
