Take On Me, Take Me On.
Here we have two zodiac signs who, on paper, really don’t have very much in common. However, there are some hidden delights to this particular astrology match that make it one that can be very compatible, quite dynamic, and fairly entertaining. It may not be totally fulfilling for either of them, so it’s not a complete relationship, but it does have many elements to it that will help this relationship deliver a lot of satisfaction, spiritual growth, and personal awareness.
In Virgo, we have a mutable earth sign. In Aquarius, we have fixed air. Now, there’s a lot to chat about as earth signs and fixed signs are naturally compatible because they share a desire to set down roots, have some stability, and can be fairly loyal and committed in relationships. They have a certain grit and determination which is always necessary to get through the bad times in relationships.
Virgo is mutable, Aquarius is air, which is also rather delightful because they will adjust to each other. They will take a reasonable and rational approach to problems, and they’re both zodiac signs who enjoy discovering new things and expanding their awareness.
Now, the ruler of Virgo is, of course, Mercury and Mercury is exalted in the sign of Aquarius, which means that Virgo can come into their own and experience more confidence and complete self expression through their association with Aquarius.
We have here two star signs who are thinkers. Both are curious, and for both, communication is one of their key love languages and that means there’s a lot of compatibility. So, this relationship actually has a 70% chance of being successful. There are deficiencies in terms of the ability to intuit, awaken, or cater for each other emotionally, and sometimes the relationship can be one of heightened anxiety i.e. it can be a bit neurotic, but these are things that can be tackled with maturity.
These Sun signs both have a sense of reserve, and they tend to keep emotions tightly controlled. They need to let go of that self-control, particularly of the emotions, to fully ignite the potential passion in this relationship.
This relationship has a 70% success rate.
Romantic Compatibility
The first thing that’s going to happen with this cosmic couple is they’re going to get chatting. They’re drawn together and although they may not necessarily like each other right away, if they get to work together as colleagues or they are thrust together by fate, there can be strange chemistry. Although it’s initially like the grating of gears when they’re together, they become rather obsessed with each other, and the initial dynamic of being a little bit annoyed may mask some feelings that are beginning to stir and say, “Take another look.”
Now, what Virgo are looking for when it comes to romance is someone who can make them feel loved, needed, and safe. Virgo also seeks a partner with a sensual side i.e. someone who brings warmth, is able to wine, dine and stimulate their senses. Now, Aquarius isn’t necessarily that person. The romance is more about being friends, doing helpful things for each other, and discussing mutual interests, rather than necessarily doing traditional romantic things.
In romance, what Aquarius is looking for is a perky, witty companion who likes playing games, who can be a bit of a tease, and who keeps them on their toes and Virgo certainly does that. So, it’s going to be Aquarius who is more drawn in romantically because Virgo ticks many of their boxes.
Virgo are fairly self-sufficient, not totally available, and Aquarius loves the chase and a mystery. As Virgo are so slow to reveal themselves in love, due to their natural romantic caution, it means Aquarius has to chase which they thrive on. So, Aquarius is going to have their romantic radar pinging. Virgo will be a little bit unsure, but there’s enough chemistry to keep Virgo curious, even if they don’t feel particularly romantically inspired.
Sexual Compatibility
When it comes to Aquarius, what they really love in the bedroom is someone who’s willing to learn, someone who takes a systematic approach and can turn sex into a masterclass. That’s where Virgo does so well. Virgo are perfectionists, whatever they do, they want to do it properly, and when it comes to sex, Virgo are eager. They want to explore, they will look at a range of options, and they’re willing to educate themselves to be even better.
Virgos really enjoy the sexual arena as an experience where they feel they can fully express themselves and open up, and Aquarius responds to Virgo. They love the way Virgo is always full of ideas and spontaneity sexually.
In terms of Virgo, they love to give, they like to be helpful, and they love the fact that Aquarius enjoys and appreciates what they do. Virgo is kind of busy in the bedroom, and Aquarius responds so enthusiastically, Virgo feels gratified, meaning it’s satisfying sexually.
Virgo would, however, like Aquarius to be a little bit hotter and show more warmth. Aquarius can be hot sexually, quite eager and keen, but they don’t always show a lot of warmth. So, Aquarius has to work harder at being very affectionate, saying the right sort of words, and engaging in kind and romantic pillow talk afterwards.
Friendship Between Aquarius and Virgo
This zodiac pair won’t necessarily gravitate to the same types of social cliques. They may meet at work or through a medical or health interest, because often these two zodiac signs find themselves in the medical professions. This could be one of those doctor-and-nurse romances. They can also meet during times of crisis or transition in their lives where fate throws them together in circumstances where they’re not necessarily feeling romantic, but they end up falling in love unexpectedly.
Love can take these two by surprise, and it doesn’t necessarily spring from them already having a platonic friendship.
What we have here are two perfectionists, because Aquarius also has a rather exacting side to their nature. They are also two honest star signs who have an intellectual, thoughtful approach to life. Both Aquarius and Virgo are also a little bit shy or socially awkward and it takes them a while to feel comfortable with people, so this is a friendship that will evolve because they’re both shy at first.
Neither of them will really want to make the first move, which is why they have to get to know each other in a work situation or in a circumstance where they are thrust together — otherwise, as they’re both a little shy and not necessarily gregarious, they may not strike up that conversation if it weren’t for circumstances.
As friends, they are helpful and supportive. They don’t compete with each other. They are great listeners and are willing to have long conversations on a huge variety of subjects. It’s certainly a relationship with respect for each other’s intelligence and a desire to learn. They respect each other as friends, and nothing is really too much trouble. They understand each other at a deeper psychological level as well, which can feel quite satisfying.
Marriage and Long-Term Potential
I feel these two zodiac signs are going to be reticent about making a commitment and walking down the aisle. They both feel that the relationship is something they want to pursue, and they enjoy so many aspects of it, but there are nagging doubts in their minds, simply because there are some inadequacies to this match. Not that these cannot be overcome.
Aquarius generally benefits from being with a very positive, sunny character, someone who is socially confident, someone who’s also a leader, with strong initiative, and who can be very self expressive. Aquarius understands innately that they have a side that’s reserved, and it’s quite liberating for them to be with someone who is warmer, effusive, and who has no filter.
Now, when it comes to Aquarius with Virgo, their personalities are very much the same in that way. They are both sociable and communicative people, and yet they are also quite modest, self-deprecating, and are looking for someone who can perhaps lead the way a little bit more.
So, it would really help their relationship if the Virgo had a Leo Moon or rising, or perhaps a Sagittarius placement.
What Virgo really needs from a partner is someone who is creative, romantic, rather laid-back, and who has a lot of empathy. Virgo really wants to be understood. They need to be with someone who soothes them, calms them, and offers more of a faith-based, philosophical, 30,000-foot view of life. Virgo understands that they are detail people and sometimes need someone with a more intuitive grasp of life, someone who has more faith in the unknown.
To some extent, Aquarius can be quite philosophical. They are able to see the bigger picture, so that’s kind of helpful, but Aquarius can also be a little bit highly strung. This is a cosmic couple for whom stress relief is so important.
They need to make sure they do things together such as meditation, clean eating, and anything that lowers the tempo, because, often, although they won’t necessarily have heated arguments, they can get very tense and when they are tense, the relationship becomes brittle and understanding can break down.
So, the key to this astrology match is first achieving greater levels of relaxation and escapism – romantically, emotionally, and spiritually – so that those emotions can come to the fore and both are able to feel like they are properly exploring their emotional side and being fully understood.
Strengths and Challenges of the Relationship
Strong communication, sharing of ideas, and a great deal of intellectual stimulation make this relationship one that draws each other in, keeps them engaged, and encourages them to find out more about each other.
There’s a strong sexual connection between these two zodiac signs. They have many of the elements that will help each other achieve sexual satisfaction, and the match is strong on chemistry. They are both willing to explore and work hard in the bedroom to keep each other satisfied and that commitment to the intimate side of the relationship is really important for both of them.
The earthiness, honesty, and pragmatism of Virgo is very reassuring to Aquarius, and Virgo likes the fact that Aquarius are reasonable yet loyal, determined and in some respects flexible. Virgo sees the details; Aquarius can see both the details and the bigger picture. Together, they have a pretty good shot at dealing with most of life’s hurdles.
On the downside, this zodiac couple both tend to be a little bit insecure socially. They may have a shy side and tend to have quite a few boundaries in terms of being willing to open up about emotions. That’s why the relationship is off to a slow and creaky start, it’s almost like getting a classic car going, where things have to be really well-oiled and finely tuned. The relationship cannot be rushed, but there’s enough intrigue going on to keep them interested, because Aquarius quite likes complicated relationships and Virgo likes puzzles.
This relationship really is an enigma wrapped in a puzzle, which appeals to both of them.
Empathy is one of the things that can be lacking in this cosmic match. They’re a helpful couple, they are good listeners, but there isn’t that heartfelt emotional connection. It can come over many years, but it’s not easy for them to have huge amounts of compassion or empathy or to automatically understand where each is coming from emotionally.
While they talk a lot and share a lot of things, there is a lack of intuitive grasp of each other’s core personality.
This is a match that could lack confidence and inspiration. It would be great if one of them had a powerful placement of the Sun, some Leo placements, or an Aries Moon or ascendant just to add a little bit of firepower, to energize and set alight this partnership. Otherwise, they can be a highly strung couple who get a little bit bogged down, and sometimes they don’t give each other the necessary certainty each crave.
They both pick up doubts in the other and can both feel like they don’t have a strong anchor. They are also not always the right people to support each other, because neither of them have a particularly protective instinct, and both of them actually want a little bit more protection.
Final Verdict
This relationship is off to a slow but intriguing start. There is chemistry, and the more time they spend together, the more likely they are to develop a bond. Their love languages are communication, being helpful, and also being good listeners. The match has a 70% chance of being long term and even has twin flame potential.
This match benefits from being low on drama and high on cooperation. They don’t mind being team players, but they are also fairly independent, free spirits who don’t want to crowd each other and these are terrific positives.
The relationship needs extra effort to achieve the full promise of a fulfilling sex life, and it also requires them to be more willing to open up, wear their hearts on their sleeves, and respond to each other in a spontaneous, emotional way.
Both of them are not emotionally spontaneous; they do a lot of self-censoring, and they need to get over that for the relationship to reach full potential.
Third decan Virgo is best with Aquarius, and second decan Aquarius is best with Virgo.
Any star sign match is, of course, modified greatly by the Ascendant, Moon, and Venus signs — which will give more bearing on affectionate, sexual, and spiritual compatibility.
