When Virgo and Leo join together in a love match, they may
initially overlook common interests and feel they have nothing to gain
from one another. This is a relationship that evolves over time, each
partner gradually understanding and appreciating the other. Leo is
extroverted, dominant, and charismatic, and often has a short fuse.
Virgo is studious and withdrawn, possessed of more versatility than
Leo.
Although there are differences, they make a wonderful love match when
each partner warms up to the other's unfamiliar style.
Early in
the relationship, Leo and Virgo may see nothing but faults in one
another. Leo may seem tyrannical, and Virgo may seem too judgmental.
But
when they stop looking solely at one another's flaws and begin to
discover one another's positive attributes, they'll discover an
attraction. Leo shows Virgo good times and fun, and introduces the
spontaneity that is often missing in Virgo's life. Virgo teaches Leo
patience and focuses their intellectual energy. Leo may feel Virgo is
watching with too keen of an eye, but will inspire their partner to
ease
up. Virgo may consider Leo selfish and foreboding, but can teach them
to
be sensitive to others' needs.
Leo is ruled by The Sun and
Virgo
is ruled by the Planet Mercury. The Sun emanates light and heat and
waits for others to gather around and accept the gifts of their
presence. Virgo reaches out to others and works out all the details
before committing to a determined goal. Both Signs need to take the
time
to see the value of the other's approach; Leo can teach Virgo to be
less critical and more spontaneous while the Lion gains stability from
Virgo's even keel.
Leo is a Fire Sign, and Virgo is an Earth
Sign. Leo starts in on new projects without stopping to consider their
motivation, while Virgo takes a more practical approach. Virgo is
concerned with the outcome of their efforts while Leo simply pursues
what they want with no mind for the consequences.
Leo is a Fixed
Sign, and Virgo is a Mutable Sign. Virgo likes to spend time working
hard and spreading themselves over many different areas. Leo, on the
other hand, enjoys taking charge or managing a project and assigns
roles
to the other participants. The absence of conflict over who's who in
the relationship helps Leo and Virgo avoid unpleasant character
evaluations.
What is the best aspect of the Leo-Virgo
relationship? It's their effectiveness as a couple. Metaphorically and
literally, Leo commands attention and respect by showing people what
they are made of socially, and following through on new ideas motivated
only by fun and excitement. Virgo works hard behind the scenes,
scheduling appointments and following up on details Leo has lost
interest in. Their personalities, opposite in so many ways, makes
theirs
a highly complementary love match.
