Sign compatibility
Leo and Virgo
Aversion · looking past each other
What tradition says
Your signs form no aspect: they're neighbours, or five signs apart. Ptolemy doesn't link them, and Hellenistic astrology calls them "in aversion": they don't see each other. Element, mode and polarity: everything differs.
| Your two signs | Leo | Virgo |
|---|---|---|
| Element | Fire | Earth |
| Mode | Fixed | Mutable |
| Polarity | Masculine | Feminine |
What it's like together
Nothing is a given, and that's what makes the bond interesting: you have to explain yourselves, and you learn a lot from each other.
The trap
Misunderstandings come quickly: what's obvious to one isn't to the other.
One thing to do together
Before deciding the other doesn't get it, repeat in your own words what you heard.
What your signs don't say
Here we only compare your two Sun signs: one point each, out of about ten in a chart. Two people who are Leo and Virgo may have nothing else in common: the Moon, Venus, Mars and the rising sign weigh just as much. Real compatibility compares the two charts, planet by planet.
