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.
