Virgo can help Gemini to be more involved in life and to see the depth of ideas rather than simply the surface. Gemini can help Virgo add variety and fun, bringing new excitement into their lives.

             Both signs are ruled by the Planet Mercury. Gemini is the masculine aspect of Mercury while Virgo the feminine. Mercury is the ruler of communication, and is androgynous -- Gemini will quickly take on the form that it chooses while Virgo may want to observe the situation a little while longer. Virgo wants a dependable partner and will take the time to work toward forming the perfect relationship. Gemini has a more intellectual approach, but is good at relating to other people; they can learn to give Virgo the steadiness that Virgo wants.

             Virgo is an Earth Sign and Gemini is an Air Sign. Gemini moves through life through pure thought, while Virgo is more practical. Virgo asks, "How will this help me achieve my goals in life?" while Gemini simply finds the object of interest at the moment without having a set plan in mind. Conflicts can arise in this relationship if Virgo is too critical or Gemini is too distant or detached. Both need to learn they view the world in different ways. Virgo can be too fussy for Gemini's taste, but Gemini may be too capricious for their Virgoan partner. As long as Virgo understands that Gemini's flirtatious nature does not affect their feelings toward the relationship, things will be OK!

As long as they communicate with each other and use their ruler Mercury effectively, theirs will be a gratifying relationship.
