Signs five apart have little in common, so understanding takes effort.

Aries and Virgo in love

Fire is spontaneous and earth is steady, so the attraction comes from difference – and so do the arguments.

Aries loves with energy and honesty: quick to fall for someone, happiest with a partner who enjoys a challenge and keeps up the pace. Virgo shows love through care and practical help: thoughtful and loyal, with high standards and a need to feel useful.

As friends

Fire gets earth out of the house; earth helps fire keep its feet on the ground.

At work

A useful mix if fire sets the pace and earth handles the plan. The cardinal sign leads and the mutable sign adapts, which usually keeps things flowing.
