When a Virgo and Pisces couple first meet, they will find it difficult to resist each other. Virgo will be drawn to Pisces’ dreamy outlook on life, while Pisces will be drawn to Virgo’s mind and maturity. Although the attraction will be unlike anything either sign has ever felt, they may eventually discover that they are too dissimilar to form a relationship. No zodiac couple, however, is doomed to fail. The zodiac compatibility of Virgo and Pisces tells you everything you need to know about this Earth-Water couple.

“In the zodiac, Pisces and Virgo are opposite each other, and their ideas about relationships are also opposite,” Stina Garbis, a professional astrologer and psychic, tells Bustle. “Mutable, watery Pisces wants to let go, go with the flow, and merge with their partner, whereas mutable, earthy Virgo wants boundaries, control, and to put the relationship in a box.”

It’s only natural for these two to clash because they’re polar opposites. Virgo is known as a perfectionist who cannot function without cleanliness and order. Pisces, on the other hand, can be erratic. They’re the type of people who have clothes strewn about their apartment but know exactly where to find everything they need.

Virgo is also known for being critical, especially of those they love, whereas Pisces is one of the zodiac’s most sensitive signs. When Pisces acts out because they said the wrong thing, Virgo may constantly find themselves in hot water.

Despite the inevitable conflicts, a Virgo and Pisces relationship has a truly magical quality to it. “It’s a beautiful, spiritual, and healing partnership,” astrologer Lisa Kiss says. They can dream on another level and then make that dream a reality.” Continue reading to learn more about the couple.

Sexual compatibility between Virgo and Pisces

This pairing has the potential for sexual fireworks, but it may take some time to get there. According to Garbis, both zodiac signs enjoy serving their partners and share common obsessions and fantasies. “In bed, Virgo may be more taboo, whereas Pisces likes to please and associates sex with love,” she says. “They are both insecure and may be inhibited.” In bed, this couple would be very reciprocal, making sure to give to each other, but it could also be awkward with no one taking direction.”

Because neither partner enjoys taking the initiative, they may feel a little lost at first.

Emotional Compatibility of Virgo and Pisces

When it comes to emotions, these two are likely to be on different wavelengths, which may cause problems between them. According to Garbis, Pisces is ruled by moody Neptune, which causes mood swings. “They can be sweet one day, like a sunny happy day, and dark and intense the next, with moody tempests,” she says. The earthy nature of Virgo, which makes them more grounded and practical, may be put off by Pisces’ ever-changing tenor and will quietly seethe when they’re acting up.

The Most Serious Potential Issue In A Virgo-Pisces Relationship

Because they are opposite zodiac signs, Virgo and Pisces must learn to appreciate their differences. According to Garbis, it is necessary for them to bend and give in to each other on occasion. Although neither is particularly obstinate, they can be if the subject of their disagreement is truly important to them. For example, Virgo is strict about sticking to a schedule, whereas Pisces may occasionally forget what day it is. Pisces must learn to be more considerate of their partner’s time, whereas Virgo can learn to let some things slide.

Another problem is the tug of war between reality and fantasy. Virgos, according to Kiss, live in the “real world,” where they have jobs, responsibilities, and problems to solve. Pisces prefer to live in a fantasy world where they can “escape” the chaos of everyday life.

“A Virgo may become irritated because a Pisces is off in dreamland and may dislike their ‘delusional’ thinking,” Kiss says. “A Pisces would probably advise Virgo to stop obsessing over details and go meditate.”

Friendship Compatibility of Virgo and Pisces

Valerie Mesa, an astrologer, and soul coach have a Virgo and Pisces friendship that is also an example of polar opposites attracting. “They both bring to the other what the other lacks, so in terms of friendship, I feel like Virgo helps Pisces make sense of everything that they perceive to be hazy.”

According to Mesa, this friendship will be like a magnetic pull because “something they find equally intriguing about the other.”
