Virgo and Pisces

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."

Dog and Rabbit

Compatibility overview

The generous, sympathetic energy between these signs is one of the treasures of the Chinese zodiac. All relationships have complications, of course, but the energy between the firsteast and the secondeast is as fortunate as the Chinese zodiac has to offer. Whether a fleeting encounter or a lifelong devotion, this connection has the potential to enrich both parties' lives immeasurably.

The essential structure of the Chinese zodiac builds on the four Trine Families. While each sign enjoys very favourable energy with members of their own family, they also have a special Soulmate connection with one sign from their kindred Trine Family. It is this enchanting Soulmate energy that unites the Dog and Rabbit.

The special affinity between these signs can be expected to reveal itself quickly. The Dog prides themselves above all on their values, their sense of right and wrong, and their appreciation for all that is deserving and beautiful. The Rabbit's brand of sensitive idealism, with their gift for aesthetic expression, thus shoots straight to the Dog's heart. On the other hand, the Rabbit can be easily disturbed by drama, showiness, or guile. The plainspoken, trustworthy directness of the Dog will be putting the Rabbit at ease before either has said a word.

Hence this combination is naturally conducive to respect and intimacy from the beginning. As the relationship grows, the potential for supportiveness and mutual progress is virtually unlimited. The Dog's usually forthright persona masks a surprisingly anxious interior life, which the Rabbit's gentle energy soothes, directly and indirectly, whenever they are around. This liberates the Dog to do what they do best—apply their near-infinite capacity for hard work and commitment to the causes that are most important to them. For the Rabbit's part, in other company they may be too overawed or intimidated to fulfil their talents. But the Dog's earnestness and belief in them can provide all the self-confidence they need to prosper.

These two will need to be mindful that their Soulmate energy is something of a high-wire act. It may be enticing and dependable in small doses, but it needs time and dedication to maintain in an enduring close relationship. Conflicting allegiances or distractions can cause real heartbreak here. However, whatever the context, if both parties are able to invest in the relationship appropriately, the instinctive tenderness and admiration that characterizes the Dog/Rabbit pairing can produce one of the Chinese zodiac's most special bonds, as delightful as it is inspirational and productive.

Tim Burton and Johnny Depp

Johnny Depp (6/9/1963, Gemini Rabbit), Tim Burton (8/25/1958, Virgo Dog) : The actor and director are long term collaborators who have made films together for over three decades, including Edward Scissorhands, Ed Wood, Alice in Wonderland, and Sleepy Hollow. Reflecting on their relationship, Burton has said, "You don't get that many times in your life where you just connect with somebody and it's really simple...it's just there."

Harley Quinn Smith (6/26/1999, Cancer Rabbit), Kevin Smith (8/2/1970, Leo Dog) : The director and actor/podcaster are a famous father/daughter duo who also collaborate together. The proud dad has told reporters, "[Harley] is amazing...we've been writing together which is so much fun because that's make pretend, right? So you get to play again, which is a rare gift for a parent now." Harley has also described how they work together: "It's crazy because he'll say something and I'll finish a sentence and then he'll be like, 'Yes! Or I'll say something that he's thinking and he'll be like, 'high-five!' And that's it, we're just good creative partners because we have the same brain."

Samira Wiley and Lauren Morelli

Samira Wiley (4/15/1987, Aries Rabbit), Lauren Morelli (7/22/1982, Cancer Dog) : The actor and writer married in 2017 and have one child together. They first met on the set of Orange is the New Black, while Morelli was married to a man. Wiley described the early development of their relationship in 2018, saying, "I remember those first months with her, trying to figure out her journey with her own sexuality. Feeling like she picked me as the person she was going to talk to about all of it. And it wasn’t sexual, it was just like a friend. There was something deeply intimate about that, whether there was sexual tension there or not. The deep intimacy of being two people talking about the core of who we are. Talking about our journeys."

Andrew Ridgeley (1/26/1963, Aquarius Rabbit), George Michael (6/25/1963, Cancer Rabbit) : The two musicians were schoolboy friends who, as the pop duo Wham!, achieved massive success together. They remained friends after Michael embarked on a solo career. In Ridgeley's memoir, Wham! George Michael and Me, he described how Michael was plagued by self-doubt during the recording of what became the platinum-selling solo album Faith, and Ridgeley gave him this advice: "If he were to stand any chance of finding happiness, he would have to fulfill his talent. He didn’t have a choice. The only thing for him to do next was claim his place as the greatest singer-songwriter of his generation."

Pattie Mallette and Justin Bieber

Pattie Mallette (4/2/1975, Aries Rabbit), Justin Bieber (3/1/1994, Pisces Dog) : The celebrated musician was born when his mother was 18 and raised by her as a single parent. Mallette later described the troubles of her youth and how she and Bieber achieved success in a memoir, Nowhere but Up: The Story of Justin Bieber's Mom. After a period of separation during a difficult time for the young superstar, they have reconnected. Bieber has explained, "I was distant because I was ashamed. I never wanted my mom to be disappointed in me and I knew she was....She's an amazing woman and I love her." Mallette has posted on social media, "I'm so proud of the amazing young man you are, and the young man you are becoming. None of us are perfect and never will be...I admire your character and integrity. You are maturing beautifully and wise beyond your years."

Conan O'Brien (4/18/1963, Aries Rabbit), Sarah Silverman (12/1/1970, Sagittarius Dog) : This late show host and comedian have played an important role in their respective careers. Reflecting on when they first sat down for an on-air interview 28 years earlier when Silverman was just 22-years-old and starting out, Silverman told O'Brien, "I love your show so much. I do. I love it so much. I mean, the first time I ever was recognized on the street was from your show. Because you’d always have me on. I’ve been on your show for so many years. I grew up on your show. I honestly feel like my whole death reel could just be clips from your show [and] I’d be happy.” O’Brien jokingly responded, "I say aim higher."

Frank Sinatra and Ava Gardner

Frank Sinatra (12/12/1915, Sagittarius Rabbit), Ava Gardner (12/24/1922, Capricorn Dog) : The legendary musican/actor and actor were married for 6 years but their relationship spanned decades, and they remained friends until Gardner's death in 1990. Sinatra reportedly always kept a photo of Gardner taped to his dressing room mirrors, and a friend of Gardner has claimed that the actress had told her "that she never loved another man as much as she loved Frank."


Combined Relationship Horoscope

Final Words

The revered Opposition energy between Western signs firstwest and secondwest draws strength not only from the intense synergies they share, but from their equally striking differences. Here, this powerful potential is beautifully complemented by a Soulmate connection between firsteast and secondeast, one of the most propitious matches in the Chinese zodiac. If there were any such thing as perfection in relationships, this would be it, with the chance of these two developing a rare and deeply rewarding, lifelong connection written in the stars.
