Love Match - Leo and Virgo

Work and Play

Fixed Fire and Mutable Earth

Being neighbors on the Zodiac, there's a chance for domestic harmonizing when Leo and Virgo meet at close degrees. Leo gets an ego boost from Virgo's specialized attention, and all Leos love to feel special. Both take pride in their looks, and as a pair will strike others as well put together. Virgo is attracted to Leo's sense of dignity and pride, especially if there's discipline to back up the big talk. Leo might find Virgo a bit sedate, but will sense the potential for something enduring there. Leo encourages Virgo to be a kid, and take breaks from the work day. Virgo shows impulsive Leo the value of discrimination, in order to follow the best path.

Virgo doesn't mind hanging back in the shadow of Leo's light, as long as they're considered an equal partner. When Leo respects Virgo's quiet gifts, they've got it made. If Leo is a spend-a-holic, Virgo leans toward pinching pennies. This can be a source of conflict, especially if numbers-oriented Virgo is minding the household finances. The sober eye of Virgo comes in to break dreams down into steps. Leo gains a realistic perspective, and hopefully, doesn't let this take the wind out of their sails. Virgo may not always jump up and down with enthusiasm, but their steady presence has a value beyond just ego stroking. Leo's dream of enduring love can be realized with Virgo, whose integrity means promises are kept. This combo thrives when grounded in the details of daily life, spiced up with moments of exuberance.
