How these two meet
Virgo and Aquarius: a list nobody has read is not the same as a list that was dismissed.
The first sign of it is that Virgo stops mentioning things, and Aquarius reads the silence as agreement. It is not agreement. It is filing.
What Virgo has stopped mentioning is a list of small wrongnesses, each one individually not worth the conversation. Aquarius would take any one of them seriously and has said so repeatedly, and Virgo believes that, and still does not mention them.
Mercury is on a short leash, never more than 27.8 degrees from the Sun, and turns back three times a year to recross the same ground. Saturn takes 29.43 years for the wheel and does not revisit anything. One of you audits continuously and the other decided once. Nothing shared: no element, no modality, no polarity.
And the two who are absent: Virgo’s opposite is Pisces, who receives the noticing as attention and never once asks it to be justified, and Aquarius is what comes just before Pisces and asks for the justification every time, not to dismiss it but to file it correctly. Aquarius’ opposite is Leo, who takes a principle and warms it in public, and Virgo is what comes just after Leo, and takes it and checks it.
How long did it take you to learn each other?
For Virgo, the work is mentioning one thing that is not worth mentioning, on the day, with no case attached to it.
For Aquarius, the work is receiving it without asking what the general rule behind it is.
And a third: a list nobody has read is not the same as a list that was dismissed, and Virgo has been treating those as the same thing for years.
Mercury recrosses the same ground three times a year and Saturn has not revisited a position in decades, and at a hundred and fifty degrees there is nothing between you that either of you was given.
Every working part of this was built on purpose by two people with no instructions. That is what it cost, and it is also what it is.
150 degrees apart
A hundred and fifty degrees apart, and like the semi-sextile it is not one of the five aspects Ptolemy kept. Signs five along share nothing: not the element, not the modality, not the polarity. The semi-sextile comes up as empty-handed, but its two signs at least touch. These two are most of the way across the wheel from each other with no common ground at any point along it, which is why the terms keep having to be invented as you go.

A sign is still a general lens: it says nothing about where your Moon or your Venus actually fell. A synastry report reads your two real birth charts against each other, with the aspects that are genuinely there.
