Aries and Virgo Compatibility

How these two meet

The friction is that neither of you can find the handle. Aries pushes and there is nothing to push against, because Virgo does not push back, Virgo revises. Virgo offers a correction and it does not arrive as care, because Aries was braced for a fight and a correction is not one.

You have each been in a room where this was easy, and it is worth naming who was in it. For Aries that room had Libra in it: the sign directly opposite, who meets a push with an equal and opposite push, out loud, at the same volume, and calls that a conversation. Virgo sits one place past Libra on the wheel and has all of the carefulness and none of the willingness to stand in front of you.

For Virgo that room had Pisces in it, the sign directly opposite Virgo, who receives being noticed without needing the noticing to be useful. Aries sits one place short of Pisces and cannot receive anything that is not an action.

Mars runs 2.13 years between reversals and gives no signal before the turn. Mercury goes back over its own ground three times a year. No shared element, no shared modality, no shared polarity, and not even the shared axis that two opposite signs are given. A hundred and fifty degrees is far enough not to see each other and not far enough to be a defined contrast.

For Aries, the work is taking one correction as the thing it is, and saying so, instead of answering the tone it arrived in.

For Virgo, the work is pushing back once, badly, at volume, with no reason attached to it.

And a third: you are not going to become Libra and Pisces. You have each been quietly waiting for the other one to.
