Pisces and Virgo

Compatibility overview

Astrology often reveals that the cliché "opposites attract" can cause more problems than solutions. In the case of firstwest and secondwest, however, nothing could be further from the truth. For although this match brings no shortage of disagreements and confrontation, the areas of accord are equally if not more powerful. The result? One of the strongest foundations for a relationship in the entire Western zodiac.

Pisces and Virgo are one of the six famous Opposition matches, where two signs oppose each other diametrically across the zodiac wheel. This energy almost always brings clashes of one kind or another, which are likely to reveal themselves as soon as these signs meet. For one thing, Pisces is probably the most variable of all the signs from one moment to the next. Not for nothing is their sign represented by fishes swimming away from each other! Virgo, by contrast, is usually focused on detailed planning, listing, and organization—changing their mind about something takes quite an effort. The dreamer Pisces is loath to waste time on anything that does not inspire their aesthetic ideals. Virgo, on the other hand, is a stickler for discipline and structure, happy to defer gratification and put their nose to the grindstone.

At the heart of these conflicts is that both signs share a Mutable modality. Mutable energy is reflective, always asking what happens next?, so Pisces and Virgo together can find themselves wandering in directions that are both esoteric, yet starkly different. Even after a relationship lasting many years, these two will have to navigate opposing instincts on many subjects.

So, given all this apparently troublesome energy, how could the Pisces/Virgo combination be regarded as one of the most dependable in Western astrology? The answer is simple. Where these two do agree, the inspirational force of their consensus is basically unrivalled. Imagine a pair of mismatched jigsaw pieces realizing suddenly that on the opposite side they fit together perfectly. When the noise of life quietens, these two can discover that they truly believe in each other and their connection. The respective elements here—Water for Pisces and Earth for Virgo—are delightfully compatible. Hence whether they are in heated agreement or disagreement, the shared momentum of this pairing is usually lifting them upward towards success and happiness. The respective weaknesses are also beautifully ameliorated. Pisces becomes less wishy-washy and more focused, Virgo less domineering and more sensitive. Ultimately, this match can be so much more than the sum of its parts, it may prove a once-in-a-lifetime relationship, in any context whatsoever.

Gene Simmons and Shannon Tweed

Gene Simmons (8/25/1949, Virgo Ox), Shannon Tweed (3/10/1957, Pisces Rooster) : The musician (founding member of Kiss) and actress/model have been partners since 1982 and have two children. They were together for 28 years before they married in 2011. Shortly before their marriage, Simmons joked about his reputation as a serial womanizer during a television interview, and Tweed swore at him and walked out. She has described, "You can't change someone, but you can see their potential and hope for the best, if you've got the patience." Simmons seems to have turned over a new leaf; in 2018, he was quoted as saying about the relationship, "For 29 years ... I was a jackass."

Cameron Diaz (8/30/1972, Virgo Rat), Benji Madden (3/11/1979, Pisces Sheep) : The actor and musician have been married since 2015. To celebrate their seventh wedding anniversary, Madden published a statement saying, "The only real challenge we have is making time go slower cause life goes by fast in the happy lane."

Aaron Paul and Bryan Cranston

Aaron Paul (8/27/1979, Virgo Sheep), Bryan Cranston (3/7/1956, Pisces Monkey) : The two actors co-starred memorably in Breaking Bad, often acclaimed as one of the best TV shows of all time. They have gone on to co-found the business, Dos Hombres mezcal. Paul described in 2022: "I grew so much as an actor because of [Cranston]...I say it every time I'm with him. I love this man so much. I get so incredibly emotional. He is truly a father figure, an older brother figure, that I just love and adore so much, and the fact we get to kind of be in cahoots again...It's a [expletive] dream. It's truly a dream."

Leonard Bernstein (8/25/1918, Virgo Horse), Felicia Montealegre (3/3/1922, Pisces Dog) : The celebrated classical musician/composer and actor were married from 1951 to 1978 and had three children together. Throughout their relationship, Bernstein pursued relationships with men, which Montealegre openly accepted. She wrote him a letter shortly after the marriage, saying: "[Y]ou are a homosexual and may never change—you don’t admit to the possibility of a double life, but if your peace of mind, your health, your whole nervous system depends on a certain sexual pattern what can you do? ...I am willing to accept you as you are, without being a martyr or sacrificing myself on the L.B. altar. (I happen to love you very much—this may be a disease and if it is what better cure?) Let’s try and see what happens if you are free to do as you like, but without guilt and confession, please!"

Sam Kerr and Kristie Mewis

Sam Kerr (9/10/1993, Virgo Rooster), Kristie Mewis (2/25/1991, Pisces Sheep) : The two international professional footballers have reportedly been in a relationship since 2021. Their careers mean their relationship often has to be long distance—Kerr represents Australia and plays for Chelsea in the UK, while Mewis represents the USA and plays for American club, NJ/NY Gotham FC. In a joint 2023 interview, Kerr described: "We set little milestones and we make time during the week where we’ll watch the same show and FaceTime or have dinner together or something. But it's tough. I think the thing that keeps us going is that we can see an end point...She fully gets it and I get it. So we just support each other. The end point is that we'll eventually live in the same place. It's just after our careers are dust." Mewis said, "I feel like we're each other's breath of fresh air. We get it that we don't want to talk about [soccer]. I just feel like it's a comfort zone thing. If I have a bad game or if I lose I always know that I have her. I think that's something that we always say, we always know in the back of our head that if things go bad or things go wrong, we always have each other."

Claudia Schiffer (8/25/1970, Virgo Dog), Matthew Vaughn (3/7/1971, Pisces Pig) : The supermodel and film director have been married since 2002 and have three children. In 2005, Schiffer described, "I'd never found anyone that perfect and I just thought, oh, there's no perfect man out there. Then I met him. He had everything I wanted in a man. He completely swept me off my feet. We are so similar in many ways. We got on like a house on fire from the minute we met. It was really natural."

Gloria and Emilio Estefan

Gloria Estefan (9/1/1957, Virgo Rooster), Emilio Estefan (3/4/1953, Pisces Snake) : The two musicians have been married since 1978 and have two children together. Gloria Estefan described in 2021, "We're very different, Emilio and I, so it's a good balance. But in the things that really matter — values, priorities, morals, even business—we rarely are on separate sides. We're very much in tune on those things."

Compatibility overview

Four Trine Families provide the backbone of the Chinese zodiac. The Ox and Rooster together make up one of these (along with their natural ally, the Snake). This family tends to attract great fortune in ventures, especially of a commercial nature, that reward tenacity, patience, and excellent judgement. The Rooster is sometimes underestimated in these respects, because they are usually flamboyant fashionistas with a lively, even brash, exterior. Onlookers might not expect them to gel with the usually more staid and obviously purposeful Ox. In truth, however, these two complement each other wonderfully.

The Ox tends to guard the more excitable side of their character, preferring to seem unflappable even in the company of those they know well. But the Rooster's brand of extroversion helps the Ox to relax, to feel comfortable about revealing their more adventurous side. Don't be surprised to find these two injecting some hilarity into social situations! Perhaps the Ox is put at ease because beneath the Rooster's panache lies such profound diligence and commitment. For their part, the Rooster is likely to find themselves deeply impressed by the stamina and shrewdness of the indefatigable Ox. Together, not only will these two be able to draw on an extraordinary ability to identify untapped opportunities, especially of a financial nature, but they will have almost limitless reserves of determination and patience to ensure ultimate success in their chosen venture.

Outsiders may find the shared world between the Ox and Rooster somewhat difficult to penetrate, and there is potential for inflexibility or insensitivity to others. But it would be unwise to bet against these two achieving whatever they set their minds to, not to mention having a whale of a time together along the way.

Ariana Grande and Pharrell Williams

Pharrell Williams (4/5/1973, Aries Ox), Ariana Grande (6/26/1993, Cancer Rooster) : Musician/producer Williams produced and collaborated on singer/songwriter/actor Grande's Sweetener album. Grande described: "I don’t mix well with people who have crazy egos and right away [Williams] was super fun and chill and nice and there wasn’t any of that. He was more worried about getting to know me and making sure I was comfortable."

Sammy Davis, Jr. (12/8/1925, Sagittarius Ox), Kim Novak (2/13/1933, Aquarius Rooster) : The actor and entertainer reportedly shared an intense but risky romance in the late 1950s. Novak later described: "It was a very dangerous relationship then—a white woman and a black man, no matter his status—it simply didn’t mix publicly. I was suddenly in the eye of a hurricane."

Warren Beatty and Diane Keaton

Warren Beatty (3/30/1937, Aries Ox), Diane Keaton (1/5/1946, Capricorn Rooster) : The two actors had a high-profile romance around the making of Red in 1981. Thirty-five years later, Keaton still talks fondly about Beatty: "He is curious about everyone. He is so seductive in that regard. He makes you feel like you are the only one, the person that matters; that you are just absolutely fascinating, you know? And it’s with everyone, across the board. He just has this presence."

James Gandolfini (9/18/1961, Virgo Ox), David Chase (8/22/1945, Leo Rooster) : The actor and film-maker were close friends, who shared an iconic collaboration as the creator and lead actor in the TV series, The Sopranos (1999-2007). In a eulogy at Gandolfini's funeral in 2013, Chase described: "[V]ery early on, we were shooting in that really hot summer in humid New Jersey, and I looked over and you were sitting in an aluminum beach chair with your slacks rolled up to your knees, and black socks and black shoes, and a damp, wet handkerchief on your head...I was filled with love, and I knew then that I was in the right place...It made me so proud of our heritage to see you do that, and when I say that you were my brother, this has a lot to do with that. Italian-American. Italian worker. Builder. That Jersey thing, whatever that means. The same social class. I really feel, though that I’m older than you, I always felt that we were brothers — and partly based on that day. I was filled with so much love for everything that we were doing and what we were about to embark on. I also feel you’re my brother because of the things we both loved. Family. Work. People in all their imperfection. Food. Alcohol. Talking. Rage. And a desire to bring the whole structure crashing down."

Woody Harrelson and Matthew McConaughey

Woody Harrelson (7/23/1961, Leo Ox), Matthew McConaughey (11/4/1969, Scorpio Rooster) : The two actors have been close friends for decades and have collaborated multiple times, including in Welcome to Hollywood (1998/2000), EDtv (1999), Surfer Dude (2008), and True Detective (2014). Responding to the suggestion that they might in fact be biological brothers, McConaughey said in 2023: "You know, where I start and where [Harrelson] ends, and where he starts and I end, has always been like a murky line. And that’s part of our bromance, right? My kids call him Uncle Woody. His kids call me Uncle Matthew. And you see pictures of us and my family thinks a lot of pictures of him are me. His family thinks a lot of pictures of me are him."

Sissy Spacek (12/25/1949, Capricorn Ox), Jack Fisk (12/19/1945, Sagittarius Rooster) : The actor and production designer/director have been married since 1971 and have two daughters together. Spacek has described: "First we met working together, and throughout the 1970s we just did almost every film together. We really supported one another and we really understood the business. It was what brought us together. And we were passionate about the same things, including movie-making. And that's something that we continue to share."

Serena Williams and Naomi Osaka

Naomi Osaka (10/16/1997, Libra Ox), Serena Williams (9/26/1981, Libra Rooster) : The two champion tennis players forged a strong bond after they met in the final of the US Open in 2018, when Williams received three on-court violations, and Osaka was visibly upset after her victory. In the aftermath of the match, Williams wrote an apology to Osaka, saying: "As I said on the court, I am so proud of you and I am truly sorry. I thought I was doing the right thing in sticking up for myself. But I had no idea the media would pit us against each other. I would love the chance to live that moment over again. I am, was, and will always be happy for you and supportive of you...All my love and your fan, Serena." Osaka responded, "People can misunderstand anger for strength because they can’t differentiate between the two. No one has stood up for themselves the way you have and you need to continue trailblazing." The pair have since maintained their supportive relationship, with Osaka saying in 2021: "It’s always an honour playing [Williams]...I was a little kid watching her play, and just to be on the court playing against her for me is a dream."

Kate Beckinsale (7/26/1973, Leo Ox), Pete Davidson (11/16/1993, Scorpio Rooster) : The actor/model and comedian/actor attracted pervasive media attention when they dated in 2019, with Beckinsale being nearly 20 years older. Seemingly referring to the relationship, Beckinsale said at the time: "I’ve never been in this position before — never dated anybody who comes with their own bag of mischief. It’s all quite shocking, and something to get used to. I think if you liked the person less, you would bow out of it. If that were the main thrust of the relationship, there would be a problem. But it’s not."
