Gemini vs Virgo

The attraction of Virgo to Gemini will probably be that of giving the appearance of being solid and dependable, which represents security, and the willingness to do anything for the loved one. Virgo can provide a scope for the Gemini intelligence, as well as mental stimulation. However, with the passage of time, the Gemini partner will likely become restless due the Virgo inability of going along with Gemini's rather unorthodox ideas and the Virgo partner's sensible approach to matters may well prove to be a deep-seated cause of rancor in Gemini. In addition, the somewhat petty attitude of Virgo regarding finances will also become irritating and may breed a good deal of resentment on the part of Gemini toward the Virgo partner. The critical attitude of Virgo may be another bone of contention, which will invariably cause some distress to the Virgo partner...particularly since those governed by this Sign seldom recognize this trait in themselves. Due to the Gemini lack of being constant in most things, Virgo will certainly come to doubt the Gemini partner's ability for anything but self-love. This could result in a claustrophobic reaction from Gemini to the Virgo mate's insecurities and could bring about violent actions on the part of Gemini. Initially, the physical attraction between these two will be strong, but when Gemini feels that his or her ego is threatened, then it is easy for the Gemini native to turn off desire for the person perceived to have given the offense. While this is unlikely to bother the Virgo partner, Gemini may go in search of love elsewhere.

Crucial to the survival of the Gemini/Virgo relationship is that each individual take time to learn about the other's approach to life and love...and to remember that the attitudes of both are worth understanding. It is in the Gemini nature to see both sides of any given story, but there is a tendency to vacillate between two courses of action and on occasion, the Gemini native does seem to possess a split personality. This match will be greatly strengthened when steady Virgo can provide one aspect of the Gemini character with a firm and emotional anchor, while allowing the other aspect of the Gemini personality to flit about at will. However, Virgo may be a little too serious and demanding for Gemini...especially if this occurs early in the relationship, before Gemini has fully committed. If the Virgo partner can just give it some time, there is a good chance that things will smooth out. Nonetheless, the approaches to life are vastly different here and mutual acceptance can be difficult to come by...particularly since Virgo tends to be so critical and exacting. The Gemini partner is sure to strain against Virgo's ultra-practical stance in the world and the Virgo partner will certainly tire quickly of Gemini's flighty ways. Still, there is much this pair can teach one another. Virgo can help Gemini to be more involved in life and see the depths of ideas rather than simply the surface. In turn, Gemini can help bring some fun and excitement to Virgo's world.

Both Gemini and Virgo are ruled by the planet Mercury. However, Gemini represents the masculine aspect of this planet, while Virgo represents the feminine aspect. Mercury in and of itself is androgynous. Virgo desires a dependenable partner and therefore, uses the penchant for clear communication toward forming the perfect relationship. Gemini is more intellectually focused than Virgo, but is blessed with the gift of relating to others. Gemini is governed by the element of Air while Virgo is governed by the element of Earth. Thus, Virgo is practical, direct and precise, always questioning whether something will aid in the achievement of life's goals. Gemini moves through life relying upon the power of the mind, seldom wasting time on focusing upon goals...simply journeying wherever the mind might lead. The fussy and critical nature of Virgo, coupled with the aloof detachment and capriciousness of Gemini, can create problems for both partners. Virgo will need to understand that Gemini's flirtatious nature in no way affects feelings related to the relationship...and Gemini must help foster that understanding courtesy of both words and deeds. Gemini and Virgo are both Mutable in quality. Thus, both partners will be quite flexible and able to adapt to change at a moment's notice. Unfortunately, both are also prone to be wishy-washy...Gemini due to incessant intellectual ruminations and Virgo due to a penchant for analysis as opposed to action. Perhaps the major benefit of this pairing is the security each partner can provide to the other...once Virgo allows Gemini to commit willingly to the relationship. Provided this couple communciate and use the powers afforded by Mercury effectively, this could be a gratifying union.

In essence, this combination is not normally a recommended match in terms of longevity. The Gemini desire for change would eventually prove too much for the realistic nature of Virgo. Both partners here desire nice things, are concerned with cleanliness and possess a mutual desire for friends and associates who engage in intellectual matters...but for this union to be successful, Virgo would have to endure the seemingly hair-brained schemes of the Gemini partner and Gemini would need to deal with Virgo's critical eye.
