Aries and Virgo

A Midsomer Night’s Dream or a Comedy of Errors

The Aries combination with Virgo has some nuances and quirks, but overall it would be seen as one of the rarer cosmic combinations out there as these signs don’t have a bunch of factors in common. Being at a quincuncx angle, this combination presents a kaleidoscope of challenges and little surprises that make this an unpredictable and unusual match. However, it is one that can have its delicious moments, where each sign is able to reap benefits from their contrasting personalities. However there’s often tension, and this is a pair that certainly shouldn’t try to live in each other’s pockets.

First of all, we have yin and yang, with a “masculine” Aries versus a “feminine”, receptive Virgo, and that it’s conducive to emotional balance. 

Virgo is an earth element and mutable sign, with Aries being fire and cardinal and this doesn’t necessarily have to be problematic, because Virgo, who don’t have as much leadership potential, can be content as a follower, as they are a sign that naturally adjusts to others. They take an intellectual, pragmatic approach, and this rather suits Aries. Aries enjoy being the slightly more gung-ho partner who pioneers new activities and leads the way. Virgo are the ones that adapt and make the plans, and in that way, they can be cooperative, helpful partners who have clear roles in the relationship which both naturally excel in. Together, there can be a good balance, and they can work hard and efficiently at goals. 

There’s also a great work ethic between these two and the desire to embrace some adventure in their life together. Virgo is definitely not a sign that likes to stand still, and thus they often feel inspired by the energy and drive of Aries. However, Virgo is more patient and thoughtful, while Aries can be more bombastic and aggressive, and this is where disagreements set in.

Overall, this partnership has a 50% chance of being successful. 

Romantic Compatibility

Virgo is looking for a partner who is somewhat artistic, inspirational, gentle, and charming. What Virgo naturally gravitates towards in a partner isn’t necessarily the feisty, outspoken Aries. Virgo can be slightly put off by the fact that Aries call a spade a shovel and sometimes like to jump in 

the deep end. Virgo like to plan ahead, to think of things through and to quantify risk, and often Aries are a little bit too risk-loving.

Aries, on the other hand, enjoy a partner who is loving, warm, who’s a team player, and who is able to be a good communicator about relationship and romantic issues. Sometimes Virgo can be slightly more standoffish; it takes them a while to get to know someone and to trust them. This is when, romantically, it doesn’t hit it off right away. Aries want things to move quickly in a relationship; Virgo takes a cautious approach, they want to keep their walls up a lot longer, and that’s why this relationship may struggle to get off the starting blocks.

Initially there’s certainly chemistry but also nervousness, Aries may feel they’re not being appreciated, and Virgo may feel they are being rushed. So, there are definitely timing issues in terms of romance. 

There is something, however, that Virgo kind of likes about Aries, and that’s the certainty, decisiveness, and masculine energy they have. Virgo finds that a turn-on. Aries have some of the traits that Virgo doesn’t naturally possess, and therefore they respect and enjoy the Aries energy. Aries, however, need a lot more encouragement emotionally. Aries like to be with a partner who’s fairly playful, positive, and sometimes Virgo can be a little bit more tense and thoughtful, which is disconcerting for Aries romantically. Aries do however enjoy a chase and a challenge and Virgo provide an ample amount of stimulating clues and leads to keep Aries in the hunt. This relationship draws them both closer in intriguing ways. 

So, for this to work romantically Virgo has to let their hair down, enjoy things in the spirit of the moment, and not overthink or overanalyze. Virgo must trust Aries. Aries must display their imaginative and creative flair to impress Virgo. 

Sexual Compatibility

When it comes to the bedroom, there is something a little bit magical about this pair. While their communication and emotional understanding may be something that needs to be worked on, and while there will certainly be elements of their outer personality that jar, when it comes to sexual compatibility Virgo are able to teach Aries new tricks in the bedroom, which they absolutely love, because Aries are very open to learning.

Virgo tends to be more adventurous sexually, and they have ideas that can “wow” Aries. So, while this cosmic combination doesn’t always have to be very romantic in terms of traditional romance and nostalgia, once it gets to the bedroom it can become a lot more exciting and novel. Virgo will like to take control in the bedroom environment, as that’s a place where Aries are not that self-assured and confident, but Virgo have the imagination to make that an area of the relationship one that is both enticing and something to look forward to and to reward themselves with. 

Friendship

Where this relationship can truly take off is in terms of the friendship factor, because what Aries appreciate in Virgo is that they are a curious personality, good speakers, raconteurs, and people who are rather adept at entertaining. Virgo tend to be great ideas generators, and they do have a good sense of humour and the ability to be rather playful once they get to know a person better.

It’s quite a stimulating relationship intellectually for Aries. Aries will respect Virgo for their knowledge and the way they are able to think through things in a way that Aries don’t. What’s also great about this friendship is both signs are pretty down-to-earth and honest. The big plus factor is Aries want to speak their mind, and Virgo don’t suffer fools gladly, so they both don’t beat around the bush. They get to the point, and that means there’s a great deal of honesty and frankness in the relationship that helps clear the air and get the ideas moving.

Marriage and Long-Term Potential

The percentage success rate of this relationship is 50/50. We’ve talked about the benefits of the friendship factor and the sexual side of the relationship, and that is where the strengths of the relationship lie. Because both these partners have qualities which complement each other, it’s very workable in terms of marriage and rearing children.

What’s more, they are both likely to want children and a family, as they both enjoy young people and doing things with their children together. This relationship can certainly improve once children come along, because there’s so much to talk about and get involved with, and they will both really be rewarded by the life experience of having children. 

Where this relationship can be difficult is if they begin to start criticizing each other and detracting from each other. It’s always very important to understand that there will be differences; they’re chalk and cheese in so many ways, but there should always be mutual appreciation and nurturing. It’s vital that both guard against becoming defensive and leaping to the wrong conclusions. 

Another aspect where this relationship succeeds, is both these signs stimulate and encourage healthy attitudes, and they may both enjoy things like fitness and healthy eating. So, while this couple may not always nourish each other psychologically or emotionally, they are very good for each other’s holistic well-being. There’s certainly the opportunity for them to improve as people by being together. 

While this relationship will contain some difficult lessons, there will certainly be opportunities to be stronger and more effective as people by virtue of the effect they have on each other. 

Strengths and Challenges

A great degree of honesty, vibrant conversation, and a sense of humour means this relationship has excellent elements to work with and build on.

Sexually, it’s exciting: Virgo is able to arouse and excite Aries, and Virgo is naturally turned on by the masculine energy and high levels of enthusiasm and go-getting that Aries displays.

With Virgo, we have a thoughtful, pragmatic builder; with Aries, we have someone that initiates and fights the battles. Together, they complement each other and give each other more security: Aries are protective and Virgo provides security through thoughtful and thorough planning. 

The challenge is that emotionally they don’t “get” each other, and both can feel that the other is cold, critical or even dismissive. They often criticize each other, and there may be a lot of bickering and fighting over small things, which can erode trust in the relationship. 

Sometimes the relationship can feel a bit heavy; both may feel they are sacrificing a lot to be together, and there can be times when the relationship takes a lot out of them both. But it’s always important for them to see those situations through and to stay positive. 

One of the key hurdles in this relationship is that one fight could end it. Virgo walks away very quickly from a relationship once they feel that the life has gone out of it, and Aries can be hot-headed and may say something in the spur of the moment that could end up shattering this relationship. So, while there are so many positives, this relationship is fragile, one fight could end it. 

Final Verdict

My final verdict is that this relationship has a 50% chance of being successful. When I say a 50% chance, I don’t mean to sound negative, because if it survives, it can actually be a powerful, positive, rewarding, enjoyable relationship. However, if you guys allow things to constantly divide you, and you don’t stay focused on humour and good relations, you can both feel emotionally neglected, and that can lead to the relationship souring.

So, it’s a relationship that needs careful attention to detail. It’s not a basic slow cooker meal that can just be left to develop; it’s more like a beef Wellington that requires a lot of effort, patience and timing to see it through to a final product. 

First decan Virgo match with third decan Aries. Second decan Virgo are a good match with first decan Aries. 

As always, there are other key factors in the horoscope relationship chart. For example, synastry between the respective Moon and Ascendant signs, which are based on the day, time, and place of birth, will have a bearing on the relationship outcome. The interaction between their Venus and Mars will tell us a lot more about sexual compatibility and attraction.
