While Virgo is very uncomfortable with ambiguity and is always categorising and organising life into clearly defined compartments, Pisces is quite content to absorb lots of seemingly contradictory ideas without having an urgent need to reconcile them. Virgo likes to carve out an area of life and specialise in it, developing skill and expertise in this well-defined domain, whereas Pisces tends to drift among a wider variety of interests. Virgo likes a neat, tidy, orderly environment, whereas Pisces's natural habitat is cluttered, sloppy, even chaotic to an outside observer. Pisces is more poetic while Virgo is more comfortable in the world of facts. Your differences do not necessarily conflict with each other and there is a good possibility that you will appreciate and understand each other sufficiently to harmonise well. Neither of you are extremely ambitious or egocentric; both are gentle, even shy people, and your sensitivity is a plus in this relationship.
You are opposites in many ways, yet your differences can be complementary and you can certainly learn a lot from one another.
Virgo is factual, organised and efficient in dealing with material affairs, with an eye for details. Pisces is more imaginative and dreamy, and can be disorganised or foggy when it comes to practical matters.
With Virgo, intellect often rules emotions, but with Pisces feelings dominate. Pisces is sentimental and compassionate and may give unwisely or indiscriminately to people in need, with no sense of what is actually appropriate: Virgo also has a helpful, nurturing side but is more dispassionate, and definitely knows when to stop.
Also, Virgo is highly perfectionistic and critical and often has impossibly strict or high standards for self or others to live up to. Pisces is the opposite: tolerant, accepting, non-judgmental, loose, often undisciplined. Virgo is drawn to this quality of unconditional, uncritical acceptance in Pisces, and Pisces can benefit from Virgo's sense of order, clarity and simplicity.
Both of you are timid and even somewhat passive at times, with much sensitivity. Both are suited to work in the helping professions or along artistic lines (with Virgo emphasising technical ability and craftsmanship, Pisces emphasising inspiration and imagination).
Virgo's emotional responses to Pisces are very intense. If Pisces is physically attractive to Virgo, then the attractive power of Pisces over Virgo is extremely powerful. However, the attraction tends to have a love/hate quality to it, and you feel drawn to each other, but also wary and distrustful of each other. It is likely that you feel both drawn to each other and repulsed by each other at the same time! The emotional response to each other is intense and complex, and the ultimate outcome of this deep, complex emotional tie is difficult to predict, but one thing is certain: this is not a lukewarm relationship and you "get under each other's skin", evoking intense feelings from each other. Virgo can easily become obsessed with Pisces!
Your relationship has an upbeat, friendly positive quality that makes it fun to be with each other. You help each other laugh and take life less seriously. It is not unusual for the two of you to have a great deal of fun playing games or even while engaging in daily activities such as shopping, etc. You allow each other considerable freedom; you respect each other's independence, and are more interested in enjoying a good time together rather than dominating or smothering each other.
A serious erosion of security, confidence and self-esteem can occur in and through your relationship with one another, because you will be unable to escape confronting the shadowy or illusory aspects of yourselves, those places in your lives where you might wish to pretend or deceive yourselves. An overall feeling of pessimism may descend on you both from time to time, as you confront your own inadequacies and weaknesses. Part of what this relationship is about is learning to separate what is real from what is not, and stripping away false images and illusions. At best, a deep and serious attitude towards spirituality, and the desire to make your ideals a concrete, here-and-now experience will result. Do try to avoid a heavy, martyred, self-chastising attitude, though. A demand for perfection - either of yourself, your partner, or the relationship - will work against you.
Although you have opposite personalities in some ways, you complement each other well and both of you enjoy having a partners that takes care of many of the things that you prefer to avoid. Bonding is very strong and you are likely to be good friends throughout your lives.
The two of you are likely to collaborate on community affairs, political activities, or intellectual endeavours. Pisces encourages Virgo to participate in social groups and contribute to society in greater measure. It is likely that the two of you will collaborate on committees or in some kind of business. Whether your endeavours are successful depends largely on whether you can work together harmoniously; if you arouse anger in each other, you will end up being adversaries or competitors instead of partners in a team.
Pisces holds an unusually strong fascination for, and influence over, Virgo. You are drawn together by an almost irresistible attraction, and it may be difficult for either of you to extricate yourselves from this relationship because the bond between you is so compelling. Very little can be hidden from one another. Your subconscious motives, feelings, and desires are brought to light in this relationship, which is likely to profoundly change your attitudes towards yourselves. You are likely to feel either very much more powerful, or heavily dominated by, your partner. This is an intense and revealing relationship!
Sexual compatibility is strong, but could at times be a little more adventurous.
