A good planner makes room in their plan for the unknown. They take into consideration that factors outside of their control can have an impact on their flow, making them more efficient. In its essence, the unknown strays away from structure; that’s part of the allure. However, the slightest bit of structure can give the unknown room to do what it does best: breed curiosity. So, what happens when you mix formation with what’s hidden?

Some might say chaos, but the slightest glimmer of brilliance still has the potential to catch your eye and represent hope in the foundation of a connection. If you’re wondering what zodiac pairing represents this dynamic, look no further than Virgo and Aquarius. Another perfect example of almost-exact opposites attract, here’s a closer look at Virgo and Aquarius compatibility. 

What Are Virgos Like?

Born August 23 through September 22 and ruled by Mercury, these signs are all about communication. Not only in what they say, but what they do, Virgos believe in well-crafted expression whether it’s a text message or a record-breaking, worldwide Renaissance Tour. They’re the planners of the friend group who care as much about intention as they do execution. But don’t leave it all up to them!

A Virgo scorned, unappreciated or taken advantage of also has the power to make your life hell: they have the receipts and a reversible will that can be used for evil. The petty card is not one with which they are unfamiliar so their sweet side is where you want to stay. Associated with maidens, virgins and karma, these signs are angelic in their approach to caring for others. However, what goes around comes around so keep the energy that you want to receive. 

What Are Aquarians Like?

Born January 20 through February 18 and ruled by Uranus, these signs are all about distinction. The element of surprise, whether in innovation, technology or their own creative ventures comforts them. But their whole identity isn’t wrapped up in standing out although that’s part of it. There’s also a utilitarian aspect of their character and what they want to see in the world. Aquarians believe in taking care of the people around them, lending a hand to a friend and being mindful of the greater good.

What’s good for you may not be good for them and they won’t stray from letting you know it. However, your freedom is yours and they stand firmly behind you having it. As for their interests, the weirder the better which is also shown in the company they keep. Whether in connection with friends, foes, for now or forever lovers, Aquarians are masters at embracing difference, prioritizing themselves and the collective.

Virgo and Aquarius Romantic Compatibility

When it comes to romance, Virgo-Aquarius connections are in for a ride. Melding the minds of a planner and an out-of-the-box thinker makes for thoughtful expressions of love– if the feelings are there. Nobody loves a surprise like a Virgo and no one has more of them up their sleeve than an Aquarius. Virgos have already done the brunt of the work in most of their life’s departments: refining logistics while slaying effortlessly, so a partner that gets it gets all of them.

Aquarians are happy to stop you in your tracks and takeover if the goal aligns with your desires which can become their desires. Face it, who doesn’t like thoughtfulness and consideration (particularly in the form of a well-crafted experience)? These two definitely do! 

Virgo and Aquarius Sexual Compatibility

Insert Birdman palm rub because it’s about to get good. In our sex lives, we may desire familiarity, we may desire newness. An open Virgo and an open Aquarius have the capacity to blend the two of these together beautifully. Virgos take comfort in partnership and will do the work it takes to set themselves apart in the boardroom and the bedroom. Aquarians see that effort and raise the stakes tenfold. The pleasure of the Virgo becomes their goal and they’ll stop at basically nothing to achieve it.

Respect plays a huge role in the sexual exchanges of this pairing as it tumbles in the undercurrent of their most cherished partnerships. So, when we’re talking bodies intertwined, opposites attracting and an embodiment of yin and yang, it has the potential to be magical. Think tongue and groove. I’ll let you sit with that. 

Virgo and Aquarius Friendship Compatibility

In friendship, these two signs are compatible and connected. Think of finishing sentences and building on ideas in the best way. They complement one another whether as business partners or as friends. Actually, this duo will build upon a friendship and establish a business together quick: taking on roles that highlight their individual strengths while filling in the gaps of each other’s weaknesses. It’s almost a match made in heaven – I repeat – if the two are open. So, often we take comfort in the familiar and in sameness: it’s what we know. Even when what we know has failed us, at least we know that it will.

A Virgo-Aquarius connection is a physical, relational and spiritual reminder that we control nothing and the more room that we create for relinquishing control, the better the surprise will be that life delivers to us. Now, of course, with hard work, most likely on the back of a solid plan, surprises can reach their full potential. So, if you’re in the market for a friendship that will show you who you are while teaching you about who you’re becoming, find your almost-opposite which in this case for a Virgo is an Aquarius…and vice-versa.

Are Virgos and Aquarians Compatible?

Aquarians laugh in the face of the usual, living on their own terms without an understanding of “compatibility.” Virgos, on the other hand, breathe, sleep and eat compatibility, whether it’s the color dynamic of their living room or in their relationships. Where a planner makes room for an opposer, an opposer can feel comforted in embracing the plan. Short answer: yes, Virgos and Aquarians are compatible – when they let each other be who they are. And, honestly, that’s the deepest most coveted kind of love that we all deserve.

This duo really grows and glistens when they take on a bit of each other’s ways of thinking, incorporating each other’s actions and isms into their singular approach. Beyonce wasn’t built in a day and neither was the most underground of underground beliefs, but a commitment to sharing in each other’s worlds will expose both parties of this connection to corners of their minds that they’ve never explored. And for these seemingly tunnel-visioned, zodiac signs, getting them to consider “the opposite” is the ultimate beneficial gag.
