When Gemini and Virgo come together in a love affair,
it's
crucial to the survival of the relationship that they take time to
learn
about one another's approach to life and love -- and remember that
both
partners' attitudes are worth understanding! Gemini is symbolized by
the Twins; they can see both sides of a story, they tend to vacillate
between two courses of action and sometimes they can seem as if they
have a split personality! This relationship is greatly strengthened
when
steady Virgo provides one Twin with a steady emotional anchor while
allowing the other Twin to flit about at will. Virgo may be a bit too
serious and demanding for Gemini, especially if this occurs early in
the
relationship before Gemini has fully committed. If Virgo just gives it
time, things will smooth out.
Virgo and Gemini's approaches to
life are seemingly so different that mutual acceptance can be hard to
come by -- especially since Virgo tends to be so critical and exacting.
Gemini strains against Virgo's ultra-practical stance in the world,
and
Virgo tires quickly of Gemini's flighty ways. They do have much to
teach one another, however. Virgo can help Gemini to be more involved
in
life and to see the depth of ideas rather than simply the surface.
Gemini can help bring fun and excitement into Virgo's life.
Both
Signs are ruled by the Planet Mercury (Communication). Gemini
represents
the masculine aspect of Mercury, Virgo the feminine (Mercury itself is
androgynous). Virgo wants a dependable partner and therefore uses the
penchant for clear communication toward forming the perfect
relationship. Gemini is more intellectually focused than Virgo but does
have a gift in relating to others.
Virgo is an Earth Sign and
Gemini is an Air Sign. Virgo is practical, direct and precise. Virgo
asks, "How will this help me achieve my goals in life?" while Gemini,
who moves through life relying on their mind, doesn't waste time
focusing on where they're headed, but rather simply goes where their
mind leads. Virgo's fussy, critical nature and Gemini's aloof
detachment and capriciousness can cause trouble for both partners.
Virgo
must understand that Gemini's flirtatious nature does not affect their
feelings regarding the relationship, and Gemini must help to foster
that
understanding through words and deeds.
Virgo and Gemini are both
Mutable Signs. Both are quite flexible; both are able to adapt to
change
at a moment's notice. Both can be somewhat wishy-washy, however,
Gemini
due to their incessant intellectual ruminations and Virgo due to their
penchant for analysis rather than action.
What's the best
aspect
of the Gemini-Virgo relationship? The security they can give each other
-- once Virgo allows Gemini to commit willingly to the relationship. As
long as they communicate with each other and use their Mercury powers
effectively, theirs will be a gratifying relationship.
