When Leo and Virgo come together, they may at first think they have no common interests and nothing to learn from
each other. This is a relationship that evolves slowly, each partner learning gradually how to understand and appreciate the
other. Leo is outgoing, dominant, and charismatic, and often has a short
fuse. Virgo is studious and quiet, possessed of more versatility than Leo. Although these two are completely different, they
make a wonderful team once each partner learns to accept the other's unfamiliar style.
Early in
the relationship, Leo and Virgo may see nothing in each other but their faults. Leo may seem autocratic, and Virgo may seem
too critical. But once they stop focusing on each other's faults and begin learning about each other's strengths, theyll discover
a great deal. Leo teaches Virgo about fun and excitement, about the spontaneity that is often missing in Virgos life. Virgo
teaches Leo patience and focuses their rationale. Leo may feel Virgo is overcritical, but will teach their partner to take
things less seriously. Virgo may accuse Leo of being egocentric and overbearing, but can teach them to be attentive to the
needs of others.
Leo is ruled
by The Sun and Virgo is ruled by the Planet Mercury. The Sun emanates light and heat and waits for others to gather around
and accept the gifts of their presence. Virgo reaches out to others and works out all the details before committing to a determined
goal. Both Signs need to take the time to see the value of their partner's approach; Leo can teach Virgo to be less critical
and more spontaneous while the Lion gains stability from Virgo's even keel.
Leo is a Fire Sign, and Virgo is an Earth Sign. Leo initiates
projects instantly without questioning their inner motivation, while Virgo is more practical. Virgo asks "what good will this
do?" while Leo simply pursues what they want with gusto! Although these
partners may find it difficult to understand each other's mindset, when they work together they make an excellent business
team because of their different strategies.
Leo is a
Fixed Sign, and Virgo is a Mutable Sign. Virgo isn't inflexible and likes to spend time working hard and doing their part
in many different arenas. Leo, on the other hand, is the one who enjoys leading or managing a project and assigns roles to
the other participants. Their lack of conflict over roles helps Leo and Virgo work on the same undertaking with great success.
The best
aspect of the Leo-Virgo relationship is their effectiveness as a team -- business or personal. Metaphorically as well as literally,
Leo gets attention and respect by being out in the field and socializing, following through on new ideas motivated only by
fun and interest. Virgo works hard behind the scenes, balancing the books and following up on details that Leo has lost interest
in. Their personalities, opposite in so many ways, makes theirs a highly complementary relationship.
