When Gemini and Virgo come together in a love affair, it is crucial for the survival of the relationship that they take time to learn about each other's approach to life and love, and remember that it pays to understand the attitudes of both partners!
Gemini is symbolized by 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 the constant Virgo provides one Twin with a steady emotional anchor, while allowing the other Twin to fly at will. Virgo can be a little too serious and demanding for Gemini, especially if this happens early in the relationship before Gemini fully commits. If Virgo gives it time, things will smooth out.
Virgo and Gemini's approaches to life are apparently so different that mutual acceptance can be difficult to achieve, especially as Virgo tends to be so critical and demanding. Gemini fights back! Virgo has an ultra-practical attitude to the world and quickly tires of Gemini's fickle ways. They have a lot to teach each other. Virgo can help Gemini get more involved in life and see the depth of ideas, not just 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 himself is androgynous). Virgo wants a reliable partner and therefore uses the propensity for clear communication to form the perfect relationship. Gemini is more intellectually focused than Virgo, but has a gift for 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 going, but simply goes where their mind takes them. Virgo's critical and demanding nature and Gemini's aloofness and indifferent whimsy can cause problems for both partners. Virgo should understand that Gemini's flirtatious nature doesn't affect their feelings about the relationship, and that Gemini should help foster this understanding through words and actions.
Virgo and Gemini are both mutable signs. Both are very flexible, both are able to adapt to change at any time. However, both can be a little dull, Gemini because of their incessant intellectual ruminations and Virgo because of their propensity for analysis rather than action.
What is the best aspect of the Gemini-Virgo relationship? The security they can give each other - once Virgo allows Gemini to commit to the relationship. As long as they communicate with each other and use their Mercury powers effectively, their relationship will be rewarding.
