Virgo and Aquarius

Compatibility overview

The match between firstwest and secondwest is one of Western astrology's most puzzling. Neither directly confrontational nor in consistent harmony, these two signs tend to approach each other with mystified curiosity. True, it is sometimes claimed they have almost nothing in common. But such a limited interpretation misses the great potential of this combination, especially for creative enterprises.

Aquarius and Virgo are five signs apart, which makes this pairing a Quincunx (or inconjunct) aspect. The Quincunx is generally a minor aspect, so from the beginning the energy here is softer and more subtle than other influences can be.

The classical view is that the 150° angle between these two signs means they are completely foreign to one another. This will likely be true to an extent, because the respective elements are famously contrary. Where the Air sign Aquarius is fundamentally abstract and universal in outlook, Virgo is an Earth sign with their feet planted firmly on the ground. Early conversations may thus suggest little potential for common ground. Aquarius' cerebral attitudes, especially their unquestioning acceptance of others and tendency towards unorthodox behaviour, may appear a world away from Virgo's goal-oriented planning and strict adherence to structure. Importantly, however, these differences are often more quizzical than unsettling. If the relationship deepens, fascinating synergies may be revealed.

Aquarius' Fixed, productivity-focused modality is a wonderful match for Virgo's more reflective, Mutable nature. Hence, while the instincts of these signs may be radically different, they have the potential to collaborate extremely effectively. They should probably take responsibility for different aspects of any project, since working hands-on together may bring their polarized instincts to a head. But if they can compartmentalize effectively, their joint efforts will benefit hugely from their divergent energies. Creative ventures especially are favoured by this Quincunx energy.

If Aquarius and Virgo understand just how different their impulses are, and make sure to address problems as they arise rather than allowing them to smoulder in the background, this connection can be a true secret weapon for professional and even intimate relationships.

Compatibility overview

The expression "power couple" is often bandied about, but such a description is more or less expected for this ultra-stylish, supercharged pair. Two Roosters share highly compatible core values, not to mention one of the most prodigious work ethics in the zodiac. Fair warning, a lack of balance can lead to some explosive confrontations. But these two will never shy away from a challenge, and can ultimately forge a powerful bond.

The pairing of two Rooster natives is as powerful as any in the Chinese zodiac.

In the Chinese zodiac, matches between members of the same Trine Family have a strong foundation from the outset. The family of the Rooster (with the Ox and Snake) is celebrated for their business sense and determination, so two Roosters will generally find they have plenty in common when it comes to identifying and pursuing opportunities.

The Rooster's true gift is their sixth sense for capturing the zeitgeist. Two Roosters can thus be blown away by each other's incredible personal flair, and their innate abilities to read and impact the social currencies of their community. Far from skin deep, mutual admiration and attraction here arise from an instinctive recognition that each possesses the insight, drive, and energy necessary to achieve their goals. Indeed, these two will often waste no time before collaborating to startling effect. After all, one Rooster can be a visionary trendsetter—two can bend history to their will.

There is an undeniable quality of dynamite to this match, however, that may sometimes prove difficult to control. The Rooster is accustomed to having complete control over their own trajectory and self-presentation, and being eclipsed can be very challenging for them. Everything may be roses when they are in lock step, but two Roosters can find they hurt each other's feelings when their individual missions diverge. Self-absorption is also a notorious challenge for this sign. At times, both parties may have an uncomfortable sense they are more like an accessory than the main attraction they wish to be. Fortunately, the Rooster is just as capable of applying their tireless diligence to relationships as to other tasks.

Ultimately, this connection may prove a heady combination of impassioned highs and lows, but there is every chance two Rooster natives will be able to find a rhythm that sustains and inspires them long into the future to dazzling effect.

Spike Lee (3/20/1957, Pisces Rooster), John Turturro (2/28/1957, Pisces Rooster) : The actor and director/actor are longtime collaborators and friends, who worked together on films including Do the Right Thing (1989), Mo Better Blues (1990), Jungle Fever (1991), and Clockers (1995). Discussing their respective acting contributions to the acclaimed Do the Right Thing, Lee referred to Turturro in handwritten notes as "MY MAIN MAN" and said: "John Turturro and I had very good chemistry between us. We're great friends, and he's such a great actor. I was very much intimidated doing that scene with John because, a lot of the scenes in the film where I'm acting at least, I'm not really an actor. The other people in it are, but this was just me and John on either side of a cigarette machine. Luckily, I got through it. John Turturro is a beast."

Chance the Rapper (4/16/1993, Aries Rooster), Kirsten Corley (5/31/1993, Gemini Rooster) : The couple first met as children in 2003 and began dating in 2013. After breaking up and becoming involved in legal disputes during 2016-2017, they reconciled and married in 2019. They have two daughters together. In 2018, Chance posted: "From the beginning beginning to the end end. You are my oldest and best friend. You are responsible for everyone of the most wonderful things in my life. I’m forever grateful that God made me find you, and even more grateful that you made me find God. Forever and ever babe. Happy Birthday."

Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie

Nicole Richie (9/21/1981, Virgo Rooster), Paris Hilton (2/17/1981, Aquarius Rooster) : The two media personalities and childhood friends starred memorably together in the reality series The Simple Life (2003-2007), playing wealthy socialites doing menial jobs. The show was cancelled by Fox after two seasons (before being picked up by E!), due to feuding between Ritchie and Hilton. The pair have since reconciled. Using a refrain the pair used often on TV together, Hilton said during her 2021 wedding:"I’m so happy to have Nicole here with me on my big day. We’ve been friends since we were 2 years old. I love her so much and it just means so much to me that she’s here. Sanasa Sanasa!"

Pete Davidson (11/16/1993, Scorpio Rooster), Ariana Grande (6/26/1993, Cancer Rooster) : The singer and comedian shared a high-profile engagement in 2018. Grande described in 2019: "My friends were like, 'Come! We're gonna have a fun summer.' And then I met Pete, and it was an amazing distraction. It was frivolous and fun and insane and highly unrealistic, and I loved him, and I didn't know him. I'm like an infant when it comes to real life and this old soul, been-around-the-block-a-million-times artist. I still don't trust myself with the life stuff."

Beyoncé and Jay-Z

Jay-Z (12/4/1969, Sagittarius Rooster), Beyoncé (9/4/1981, Virgo Rooster) : The two musicians and businesspeople are one of the most famous couples in the world.

They have publicly acknowledged facing marital challenges, including in Beyoncé's album Lemonade and Jay-Z's 4.44. Jay-Z said in 2017, "[W]e were using our art almost like a therapy session." In 2018, Beyoncé posted to Instagram: "At 36, I became a new mother of 3. I breastfed twins. I renewed my vows with my husband of ten years. I came back home to the stage to do Coachella, after pregnancy. Then my husband and I released our album together, Everything Is Love. And we’ve been touring with our family around the world, and loving it. This year has been monumental for me. I thank God for everyone in my life."
