Leo – Libra - Valkyrie Astrology



Leo – Libra

These are another one of those Sextile aspect sign combos that usually work. Let’s take a closer look and see what we’ve got with these two. First of all we have a Fire sign and an Air sign. So far so good, except for the usual danger of too much Air causing an explosion or too much Fire burning up all the Air. In general these two can build a healthy, synergistic relationship. One point there.

We have a Fixed sign and a Cardinal sign. This can be a bit of a challenge, but its success depends largely on what the Fixed sign is fixed about. This generally means that these people are set in their ways and not likely to change. This also means they’re quite stable, but you just need to know what that means. A Fixed Fire sign is likely to be fixed in knowing what they want and how to get it. They’re a bit opinionated, primarily in liking high quality merchandise, the more the better. These are the folks that like the labels in their clothing to say the right things, like DKNY. Walmart is not likely to be their favorite store. Libra, being capable more than most at being able to see both sides of an argument can probably deal with that. Another point there, making two total.

We have someone ruled by the Sun and someone ruled by Venus. This is not a bad combination at all. One is at the center of the Solar System with all the other planets revolving around it and Venus is the Goddess of Love. Leo has definitely been known to think they’re at the center of the Solar System, maybe even the Universe and Libra definitely wants to bring love and harmony to all creatures, on Earth and everywhere else. So far so good. That brings us to three points.

Then we have Leo hailing from the 5th House of creativity, children, love affairs and other pleasures. Not a bad place to be from and certainly not a bad match for someone resident in the 7th House of relationships. That makes four points. Not bad, not bad at all.

So the fundamentals all seem to work for these two. I guess the things I would put on the Watch List for this couple would be, 1) Leo’s need for affirmation, adoration and of course, homage in the form of expensive gifts; 2) Libra’s tendency to argue when they’re trying to be fair to everyone. (Hint: Lions aren’t always interested in being fair. Remember they’re carnivorous and eat other animals. This is the antithesis of “fair.” They also consider themselves royalty and don’t like to be questioned. I knew a Leo once who got a PhD in ornithology, which to those of you who don’t know what that is, it’s basically birdwatching, and wondered why she couldn’t find a job. ) Nonetheless, keep those two items, as well as the bank account, under control and you might have something worth keeping.

Leo – Sagittarius

Uh-oh, here we go with two Fire signs again. Now I know that the signs themselves are Trine and supposed to get along just fine, but whenever you put two Fire signs together things can get a little hot. This is not to say they aren’t good, only that there is a risk involved. Kind of like setting off your own fireworks on the 4th of July or New Years Eve. It’s cool, noisy, awe inspiring and thrilling, but if you’re not careful you could lose or at least injure various body parts.

Actually, these two can be quite good together. Leo thinks they’re descended from royalty and Sag thinks they’re intellectual royalty. Thus both have a superiority complex of sorts that will drawn them to each other as equals. Leo basks in the light of the Sun, center of the Solar System, and Sag enjoys rulership from Jupiter. This brings up the additional point that the only sign that Sag can’t say “mine is bigger than yours” to is Leo. Jupiter is also the planet of luck and expansion and some scientists believe is actually a “failed star” that didn’t quite have what it took to give the Sun a companion and thus become a binary star system. Which is probably just as well because if that had happened, then Earth might not exist, being between them. And that’s a philosophical question worthy of any Sag, but it’s not something that Sag wants to talk about because any kind of failure simply isn’t on their radar as possible.

These two both have tempers. That means that when they disagree it will probably get noisy. However, this is just how they communicate and probably not bad for anyone except innocent bystanders, particularly those of the Water persuasion who might be worried they’re going to hurt each other. Not to worry, Lions and Archers are pretty well-matched in that department. In the social department, Sag talks well and Leo shows well, quite a good combination for a couple that wants to be noticed.

The main thing they need to do to keep the relationship healthy is make sure they don’t trip over their own ego and forget to take care of each other. Since they’re very likely to be quite proud of each other, this will hopefully not happen, but both are somewhat high maintenance, as signs go, so if either notices the other being a little quieter or sulkier than usual they might want to take stock of what they’ve done lately to show their adoration. Some kind of personal token of quality will work for Leo and airline tickets for two to some foreign destination will work for Sag. Just make sure your bank accounts can afford it, since that’s one pitfall that’s easy for Fire signs to fall into. Other than that, this could work and work well.

Gemini – Aquarius

These two Air signs are likely to get along quite well. Being the same Element, they Trine one another, making for a fairly comfortable foundation for the relationship. This is no guarantee, but bodes for similarity in temperament which can precipitate understanding. They both like to talk, also, which is good unless they talk so much they don’t listen. But as long as they both get to say everything they want to say it’s likely they won’t notice whether the other is listening or not.

Gemini gets bored easily but this is probably not something they’re going to have to worry about if they’re paired with an Aquarius. Our Water Boy or Girl is ruled by Uranus, planet of surprises, unexpected events and change. It seems just a bit contradictory that they are a Fixed sign, but this pertains more to their personality than anything. They are what they are and will stay that way inside, even if other things around them change. Gemini is a Mutable sign and very comfortable with change. They also adapt well to different circumstances and life styles, which can be a real asset if they’re paired with an Aquarius.

Gemini, as a mental gymnast, is likely to find a fair amount of brain fodder in a Water Carrier with their unconventional attitudes and sometimes wild ideas. They can look and act quite normal until they open their mouths, which is often, and then you might wonder if you’ve found another space alien like those portrayed on the old TV show, Third Rock from the Sun. But to a Gemini this is interesting and stimulating and not a problem.

Thus, these two are very likely to get along quite famously and have a happy life together. Not necessarily normal, mind you, but if they’re both happy it’s really nobody else’s business, n’est-ce pas?

Gemini – Cancer

Ordinarily Cosmic next door neighbors don’t get along very well, but I think these two are the exception. I say this based on the fact I knew a couple once from these Zodiacal persuasions and they got along great. They didn’t always agree, but they accepted each other’s differences in a good-natured way and were very happy together.

In writing these compatibility profiles I’m attempting to combine my knowledge of astrological sign personalities with practical experience. (NOTE:-- If you happened to read my Libra – Scorpio profile then you saw an example of a sign next door combination that in my experience didn’t work at all. This one is to balance that one out.)

Here we have an Air and a Water sign hailing from the 3rd House of intellect and 4th House of home environment respectively. Air and water aren’t necessarily a bad combination since bubbles can be quite entertaining. Water under pressure can cut steel, but that’s not what we have here. Hopefully, anyway. Air likes to talk a lot and Water likes to feel a lot. Not mutually exclusion by any means and often a good complementary relationship.

Gemini is ruled by Mercury, master of communications and Cancer by the Moon, which can introduce moods into the equation. However, Crabs are usually basically good-natured and big-hearted, one of those into group hugs and kissing everyone hello, good-bye, etc. If they have an emotional meltdown for some reason, they might make a bit of a scene, but they’re not malicious as a rule. Of course they could be, given the right (or wrong, as the case may be) Ascendant or Moon sign, but this is not in the core nature of a Crab. Cancer is also a Cardinal sign, which is a nice match with Gemini’s Mutable (that’s MUTABLE not MUTATION). Gemini might have a slight tendency to bounce around a bit, and the Crab can lend some healthy stability to the relationship. On the other hand, the Gemini wit and multiple interests can be very enlightening and entertaining to the Crab.

Thus, all the differences between these two tend to be complementary and very workable in the big scheme of things. Throw in the Moon and Ascendant signs and this could go either way from there, but in general this couple will have good potential.

Gemini – Pisces

These two are both Mutable signs and thus Square one another, Zodiacally speaking. This flexibility could work well in some areas, badly in others, depending on other elements in the chart. One of the biggest problems with two mutable signs is the lack of stability (i.e. Earth or even Fixed signs), and both of these in their own way are definitely not stable.

Gemini tends to be ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder), figuratively if not literally. Twins have multiple interests, get bored easily, learn very quickly, thanks to their ruling planet, Mercury, and as Air signs also like to talk and communicate, a trait further enhanced by Mercury.

Pisces tends to float about, catching the next wave, so to speak, and viewing everything from under water. As a Water sign they are immersed in a sea of emotion and feel things at a very visceral level. They tend to make their decisions based more on intuition than fact and generally tend to see only what they want to see. Their ruling planet is Neptune, which promotes fantasy, illusion, and if afflicted, deception. Thus, Fish are easily duped, thanks to their relationship with the King of the Sea, and being a Water sign doesn’t help since they don’t operate with logic but feelings. If there is some hare-brained get-rich-quick scheme out there, Pisces is very likely to fall for it, particularly if the subject salesperson is “nice.”

So what do you get when you get these two together? While Gemini is usually borderline brilliant, they don’t always concentrate on any one thing long enough to see it through, unless they have some nice, stabilizing Earth elements in their Chart. While Twins tend be very intelligent and several of my acquaintance actually have advanced degrees, they often wind up doing something entirely different career-wise than what they studied. Frankly, I’m impressed they can get a PhD since that requires specialization, but somehow they pull it off. Anyway, you pair a Twin with a Pisces and the Fish is likely to watch the Gemini somewhat like a chicken watching a card trick. They’ll be fascinated with the movement and all the talk but not really have a clue what’s going on. Neither will they care. And that could be a problem, because Gemini needs intellectual stimulation.

Thus, while there aren’t any glaring “Danger” signs with these two other than the natural square, there are several fundamental incompatibilities that incline me to give it the usual “long engagement” rating. If you’re involved in a Gemini-Pisces relationship, it’s a good idea to make sure you get past that first wave of attraction and make sure you have what it takes to be suitable long-term companions. If you’re a Gemini who’s inclined to say “Talk techie to me, baby,” just remember that the response you get from a fish bowl isn’t going to be very stimulating.

Scorpio – Aquarius

As two Fixed signs, this is the typical squared off situation that throws a red flag. And the Scorpion and Water Carrier can each be fixed in a very specific way. Whether they are going to be Fixed in a positive way or a lethal way is the question, so let’s take a closer look at these two. For starters, Scorpio is a Water sign and Aquarius is Air. This is the bubble combo that can at best be described as somewhere between champagne and bicarbonate of soda. Neither of those is necessarily bad, and given the fact that Scorpio is prone to digestive problems, maybe having a ready source of bicarb of soda isn’t all bad. The key is the source of the bubbles.

As a Water sign Scorpio is ruled more by emotion than logic. While Scorpios can be quite affectionate, so can a snake looking for a warm place to sleep. Okay, that wasn’t fair. I apologize. But let’s just say the Water sign emotion inherent in a Scorpion is not the same as that inherent in a Crab or Fish.

The key lies in the ruling planet and in this case it’s Pluto, God of the Underworld. Scorpios are on the ultimate power trip, even if that only means finding someone who will take good care of them. They have a bit of an entitlement mentality that derives from that 8th House “other people’s money” element. They were often neglected as children and therefore want to make up for that the rest of their lives. A textbook example is Darth Vader. (If I have to explain who that is, then you’re undoubtedly from another planet.) Leos may think they’re royalty and Sagittarius may think they’re geniuses, but Scorpios think that someone ought to take care of their every need. If you don’t think that constitutes a power trip, try it sometime. How much do you take care of yourself versus someone doing it for you? Get the picture?

Aquarius, on the other hand, is an Air sign. They like to talk and communicate plus they operate more on logic than emotion. This doesn’t mean that their logic is sound since they have some pretty unconventional ideas as a rule and it doesn’t mean they don’t have emotions. They’re just different. Aquarius is best described by the Solomon family on the TV show, Third Rock from the Sun. Functional and self-supporting but just a little bit unusual. Okay, downright weird. Whatever. Water Carriers are ruled by Uranus. Let’s put aside the usual snickers that always accompany mention of that planet and think about what it represents. This is the planet of change, surprises and unexpected events. The people it rules are thus quite different and generally full of surprises. Whether or not they’re different enough to want a pet Scorpion is the question.

Since Water Carriers tend to be very tolerant and nonjudgmental this could work. They like people, like all Air signs, and are very social beings. If they’re well connected, then Scorpio may perceive that as a form of power. Scorpios are also different than the average Joe so Aquarius probably will be quite tolerant, possibly even to the point of comfortable, with them. So in the final analysis, this could be another exception to the square rule, particularly with compatible Moon and Ascendant signs. However, remember that as Fixed signs these folks aren’t going to change their basic dispositions or opinions anytime soon. They could have very different ideologies that are flat-out incompatible. They also can be quite different on the inside than they appear, so this is another case where I recommend a long engagement. And after you hitch up I recommend that you maintain separate bank accounts. Trust me on that one.

Scorpio – Pisces

As two water signs that Trine each other these two are supposed to be a good bet. I’m not so sure. The fact that Fish and Crabs are Water signs makes sense, but I’ve always wondered how a Scorpion, which I think of as a desert creature, is in there, too. The only thing I can think of is that Scorpios are definitely ruled by emotion and there was no place else to put them, other than their own category. But they are not emotional in the same sense as their fellow water signs. The one thing you should never forget about a Scorpion is the fact their tail is lethal. Of course Fish range from goldfish to barracudas, too, though this is somewhat unusual. If you’re a Pisces, I recommend that you think about this and decide what kind of fish you would characterize yourself as. Then ponder a bit on that Scorpion’s tail.

Most Pisces live in a sea of emotion and are very caring people. They get hurt easily and try to live their life as harmlessly as possible. Once they Progress into Aries, this can change quite a bit, but we’re talking about the average Fish. And that brings up a good point. If you think you’re more of a shark or maybe piranha, then maybe you’ve made the switch from Pisces to Aries, in which case you need to also read the Aries – Scorpio profile. But if you’re a classic Fish, you know you’re sensitive and you need to protect yourself.

Scorpios are not necessarily predatory or overtly harmful. Not at all. They are very loyal to their families and friends and will also be very protective of them. However, look out for those 8th House properties of sex, death and other people’s money. Kind of scary, isn’t it? For one thing, if sex isn’t one of your favorite sports, you may not be too happy with a Scorpio. I won’t go into that any further in what is supposed to be a “G” rated website (all right, maybe PG or even PG-13, but definitely not an R) but think about it, a lot. Don’t overreact to the “death” part. Pluto usually has something to do with death, including inheritances and the like, but that is usually by transit activity, so don’t worry about that.

The “other people’s money” can be an issue, however. And Pisces, ruled by Neptune, tend to be a bit gullible, very sympathetic and believing. This can make them easy prey to a sob story. So be careful. Before you whip out your checkbook, Visa or debit card to help anyone out you need to talk to one of your Earth sign friends (Taurus, Virgo, or Capricorn) for advice. I mean it. If you follow this advice you can save yourself a lot of grief, in general, not just with this one particular relationship.

Scorpios tend to be very intense. It seems to me that Pluto rules nuclear power, so figure that any Water the Scorpion is immersed in will be quite warm. Unless you’re a tropical fish, it may be too much. Remember that Scorpio is a Fixed sign and Pisces Mutable, so guess who’s going to have to do that adapting. It’s possible, I suppose, for these two to have a reasonably good relationship. Pisces can be easy going and might not mind being dominated by a Scorpio, but if you have any doubts I would think about it very hard and very carefully and listen to your Earth sign friends.

As for you, Scorpio, you need to think about it, also, because this particular Fish really might not be what you’re looking for. If they get hurt, they generally withdraw and can become the proverbial “cold Fish.” In my experience with Scorpio, I don’t think you’d be very happy with that. Moon signs and Ascendants could really make a tremendous difference on this one. I don’t like to see anyone get hurt. So both of you need to look at this real hard and make sure you know what you’re getting into before you make any big decisions. This is another one that should involve a long engagement unless you want to risk being labeled “Dysfunctional R Us.”

NOTE:--I am so concerned with this match that I am willing to give you a compatibility analysis for FREE (the Scorpios will love this, I’m sure). Just email me at astrogoddess@ with the birth information for both of you (date, time and place of birth), mention you’re a Scorpio-Pisces couple and I’ll send you one for free. You don’t even have to give me your names if you don’t want. What do you have to lose other than a possible train wreck? If you think you’re a match made in heaven, please tell me about that, too so I can put some positive data into this profile as appropriate.

Scorpio – Sagittarius

Scorpio and Sagittarius are next door neighbors in the Zodiacal neighborhood, which usually don’t get along too famously. These two, like most of the others, are likewise vastly different. For one thing, we’re mixing Fire and Water signs, which usually brings numerous challenges along for the ride. Granted, Scorpio is not the typical Water sign, but they are ruled by emotions and these waters run quite deep. While they’re affectionate, loyal and various other things that make them a good partner, there is an intensity there that is somewhat like a nuclear reactor, which I believe is also ruled by Pluto. As long as everything is in balance everything will be just dandy. Power will be generated, the reactor will heat up but be cooled by lots of water. But if anything goes wrong, particularly overheating, you can have a pretty serious meltdown replete with all the radiation and toxic byproducts. If Fire and Water can achieve a nice, comfortable simmer everything is fine, but once it reaches the boiling point and steam pressure starts to build up, look out.

The Scorpion is also a Fixed sign, meaning they’re set in their ways and those ways are often very closely related to their ruling planet, Pluto. Their native 8th House rules sex, death and other people’s money. Don’t let the death part scare you unless they’re an ex-felon or something. Pluto transits are usually what are involved with that. Sag, being a Fire sign, can probably deal with the sex part, but there could be problems with the money. And that trouble may be that Sag doesn’t have any, either. Fire signs aren’t exactly known for their frugality (that would be the Earth signs) so it’s likely these two will be perpetually broke, if nothing else, particularly given the 9th House where Sag calls home. This House covers higher education, long distance travel and legal matters among other things. Sags like to do things in a big way and while they can be extraordinarily lucky given Jupiter as a ruling planet, you still better not count on them winning the lotto anytime soon.

As for common interests, if Sag is well-respected in his particular domain, say Academia, Scorpio will quite like that because it emanates power, which they like. Scorps are drawn to power like moths to a light bulb. So if Sag is using their intellectual skills and concentrating on one thing enough to make significant progress, there will be something the Scorpion will be very happy with. Sag, on the other hand, can find stability and loyalty in a Scorpio, which Sag may or may not be able to return.

There are a lot of fundamental differences between these two and there is nothing that indicates any except to the “next door neighbor” being a bad match. Again, compatibilities in Moon signs or Ascendants could soften this, but philosophically these two don’t exactly spell “soul mates.”

Scorpio – Scorpio

If you’re a Scorpio, and you probably are if you’re reading this, you’re definitely a different animal. As a Fixed Water sign ruled by Pluto you have a depth and an intensity unmatched by any of the other signs. In many ways there is probably no better match for you than one of your own kind. Some signs in duplicate, so to speak, are perhaps too much of a good thing and lack the balance for a healthy relationship. You, on the other hand, have everything you need and more. Plus, it protects other weaker species from the sting of that lethal tail. In that respect you are equally matched and the rest of us are safer for it.

As a Water sign ruled by emotions, you differ from the others. Crabs are the group hug folks and personified by Aunt Bea on the old Andy Griffin show of yesteryear. I’m sure there are more modern day equivalents, but I don’t watch much TV and can’t think of anyone else at the moment. Pisces, a.k.a. Fish, are into emotions in a big way and, like I said in the Pisces profile, feel things the rest of us only have nightmares about. They are extraordinarily sensitive and vulnerable. You, on the other hand, feel things more like Darth Vader does The Force. Pluto imbues you with a nuclear reactor for a heart and you thrive on radioactive material in an emotional sense. You care a lot about your friends, family and possessions and will defend them fiercely. But your emotional needs, i.e. that radioactive fuel you require, are often not met by the usual person. Enter another Scorpio and you immediately respond at the gut level, even if you become no more than good friends.

Fixed signs don’t like change. They’re opinionated and don’t even like to argue. It’s pointless. What they believe is true in their mind is not going to change, regardless of the evidence to the contrary, and it’s a waste of oxygen to either listen to someone rant away or try to defend it. While other Fixed signs understand, each is Fixed with a slightly different mindset. Besides, like Modes square each other and generally aren’t a good match. However, if you’re both Scorpios you’re likely to be Fixed in the same way. And since you both have a power fetish, you can enjoy the sweetness of pursuing the same together.

Since you are both natives to the 8th House, your interests in that department are compatible, also. Of course in this case the “other people’s money” issue will probably also assist the two of you in building some kind of financial empire to which the lesser species will fall all over themselves to throw their life savings into.

So I give you, Mr. and Ms. Scorpio, two thumbs up. Together you can rule the Universe, as that epitome of Scorpio, Darth Vader, always wanted. May the Force be With You.

Virgo – Aquarius

This is one of those matches that has very different Modes, Elements and ruling planets, but likewise has the potential to develop a complementary relationship. When one if Mutable and one Fixed, there are usually fewer arguments, except when the conflict deals directly with emotions. Since we’re mixing Earth and Air, that is less volatile than some of the others. You could get a dust storm, perhaps, but probably not a tornado, since that is more likely with Fixed and Cardinal, Fixed and Fixed or Cardinal and Cardinal matches. In this case, Virgo is likely to yield enough to at least promote discussion, though Earth signs do tend to go underground with when emotional discussions arise.

Earth and Air also base their decisions more on logic than emotion. This is not to say they don’t have emotions because it’s simply not true. It’s just when your head and your heart are in conflict, you will more than likely go with your head. Fire and Water signs are more likely to go with what their heart tells them. In reality, if they’re not in agreement you need to figure out why and if you can’t then you may not be looking at the right question. But in principle, Earth and Air will be both based on logic so should communicate reasonably well.

The caveat with this particular mix is that Virgo is very sensitive to criticism and if that is an element of the argument, they could be very defensive but very hurt inside. They might also go underground, as previously mentioned. Mutable signs tend to be nonconfrontational and thus can be pretty passive-aggressive. So if things start turning up missing or broken or something along those lines, you might want to think back to your last argument and whether or not it was resolved fairly from both of your knotholes.

Virgo is ruled by Mercury, which definitely assists with communications issues. Aquarius is ruled by Uranus, planet of surprises, change and unexpected events. I haven’t said anything yet about Aquarius being extremely different in how they see the world. Since Virgos tend to be rather conservative, they may not be too sympathetic to some of the Aquarian ideas. It’s probably good for Virg to lighten up a bit and maybe try to see things through those Water Carrier field glasses, particularly since they’re the Mutable sign here that might be able to expand their horizons with new ideas. Nonetheless, remember that Virg is also the criticism champ of the universe and may only find fodder for that particular propensity.

I believe that it’s possible for these two to work out a good relationship. It’s not what I would call a “natural” but it doesn’t have anything that would make it horribly difficult. Virgo likes to talk more than the usual Earth sign, thanks to being ruled by Mercury, and Aquarius likes to, also, so chances are good they can work out their differences and do reasonable well together. Chances are the differences between them would do them both good.

Virgo – Libra

This is a cosmic next door neighbor combination, which is generally not harmonious. This is certainly not the worst case of those, however, since both tend to fall in the category of “nice people.” Virgo is the nitpicking/criticism champ and Libra is the Zodiacal version of a 60s Flower Child, but it is possible for these two to find something about each other that clicks other than a weapon (that would be Aries – Taurus).

Virgo is a Mutable sign and Libra is Cardinal. These usually are a relatively good mix. Libra’s

leadership style” if you will, is more along the lines of being a mediator and/or peace maker and thus not a hard taskmaster. The Earth/Air element is likewise not usually a problem since both base their decisions on logic rather than emotion. With a Mutable/Cardinal mix it’s also unlikely that anything of tornado proportions could result, though certain Moon and Ascendant signs could make that possible.

Virgo is ruled by Mercury, giving it a tremendous boost in the communications department for an Earth sign, even though a lot of that comm has to do with other people’s faults. Libra’s ruler is Venus and Libra tries to personify that in every way possible, particularly in their propensity to be “fair” to all, listen to everyone’s side, and try to arbitrate every known conflict to satisfactory resolution. The one area where Libra has a problem in this regard is with their own emotional issues where they apparently have a hard time taking sides with themselves. Thus, they will burrow underground like an Earth sign when something comes up that affects them emotionally.

The main trouble spot for these two, if you haven’t figured it out already, is the scenario where Virgo’s criticism hurts Libra’s feelings, who then cannot or will not talk about it. Libra will be fair to Virgo like anyone else, often to a fault, and the fault in many cases will be the Virgo. Thus if Virgo can appreciate Libra and their ability to see all sides of an issue it may help Virgo to see the world from more of a macro view versus micro, where all the flaws exist. If they can work out this issue and all variations of it there’s a good chance for a pleasant and enduring relationship.

Virgo – Scorpio

This is one of those sextile patterns that theoretically “works.” In this case, I’m not so sure. Anything is possible, I suppose, if they can keep a positive attitude and their negative traits under control, which, of course would make any relationship work. That is called pure, unadulterated L-O-V-E and is not only rare but hard to sustain, particularly when there are some traits that could really aggravate the other to the point where they get on each other’s nerves on a regular basis. For example, the way they walk or breathe.

Virgo is ruled by Mercury and Scorpio by Pluto. While these planets are about the same size and aren’t exactly arch-enemies, they don’t necessarily blend well, either. One is the fastest in its journey around the Sun, the other the slowest, at least that we know of. But then I’m not sure anything blends well with Pluto. Mars does in its own way, but those two together generally mean death and destruction. Communication skills are Mercury’s bailiwick as well as various other things like the mechanical and electronic world, which especially becomes apparent when Mercury goes retrograde and all those things run amuck. Since Virgos are perfectionists, no doubt Mercury has something to do with that as well, possibly the concept of things being done correctly and working well together. At any rate, that is Virgo’s obsession.

But then obsession is really Pluto’s realm. No one can obsess like a Scorpio and once they get on to something that bothers them they’re going to grind away at it until the entire planet is one gigantic dust bunny circling the Sun. Usually something stops them before then, but in principle it’s certainly possible.

Scorpio is a Water sign, meaning they’re ruled by emotion, i.e. will go with their gut feeling rather than their brain every time, and their emotions run exceptionally deep. In spite of that lethal tail of theirs, they can get their feelings hurt easier than you would expect and when that happens look out. For whatever reason, perhaps because Pluto takes over 280 years to circle the Sun, they tend to procrastinate. And here we have the catalyst for problems because if there’s anything Virgo will gritch about ‘til the cows come home it’s not getting something done on time and done right.

So let’s look at that as an equation. Scorpio Procrastination + Virgo Criticism = Scorpio Tail Lashing + Virgo Tongue Lashing = Scorpio Obsessing on Virgo Faults + Frugal, Detail-oriented Virgo Working on Do-It-Yourself Divorce papers.

Do the math and decide for yourself on this one.
