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."

The Rabbit and Sheep are one of the most magical pairings in the Chinese zodiac.

A central element of Chinese astrology is the four Trine Families into which the twelve signs divide. One of these consists of the Rabbit and Sheep (along with their most generous ally, the Pig). These signs are bound together by a mutual love of aesthetic beauty, relaxation, and empathy. In the company of some other signs, they can both be quite easily overwhelmed, given their profound sensitivity to perceived ugliness, noise or aggression. But together, they will tend to lose themselves quickly in a wonderful atmosphere of tranquility.

The Sheep will likely be fascinated by the Rabbit's abundant skills and deeply romantic sensibility. Instinctively secure in the Rabbit's company, the Sheep is apt to unleash a true charm offensive, delighting and reassuring the gentle Rabbit. Perhaps no other sign is as capable of expressing pure hypnotic joy as the Sheep when they are at ease! While early exchanges are likely to have a flirtatious quality even in entirely chaste surroundings, the closer these two become, the more likely they are to realise the powerful creative potential of their shared energy. For these two signs are artists in their marrow.

As a pair, the Rabbit and Sheep are capable of expressing their shared aesthetic with extraordinary elegance and refinement, whether in professional projects or in building a home and life together. Given the freedom and peace they need, the results will almost certainly be breathtaking.

They were known for eccentric displays of affection, which included wearing vials of each other's blood, and Jolie gifting Thornton a pair of matching burial plots. In the foreword to Thornton's book, The Billy Bob Tapes: A Cave Full of Ghosts (2012), Jolie wrote: "Through the years I’ve known Billy I’ve learned that not only was he as interesting, as truly original, as had been told to me, but that he was also so much more…Some people walk through life able to quiet the voices in their heads. He can’t. And I, and everyone else who knows him well, we love him for it. I know one thing: the world would certainly be a hell of a lot more dull if that man weren’t in it."

Michael Jordan (2/17/1963, Aquarius Rabbit), Yvette Prieto (3/26/1979, Aries Sheep) : The legenday basketballer and model married in 2013. They have two children, twins born in 2014. Jordan has described: "I can count on one hand the girls I have dated seriously. Yvette is the third and … the third time’s the charm. She’s a fantastic girl and I like her. Aside from her beauty, which is obvious, she is loving, simple and very good person."

Paul Sorvino and Mira Sorvino

Paul Sorvino (4/13/1939, Aries Rabbit), Mira Sorvino (9/28/1967, Libra Sheep) : The two actors were father and daughter. In accepting her Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress in 1996, for Mighty Aphrodite (1995), Mira said, "When you give me this award you honor my father Paul Sorvino who taught me everything I know about acting." Writing about her speech later, Mira described: "My love for my father has only continued to grow since this moment. All the love in my heart! He is the most loving father, the most brilliant actor, the most beautiful operatic tenor, the most talented visual artist—the wisest and most human advice giver, & best Grandpa ever!!"

Dermot Mulroney (10/31/1963, Scorpio Rabbit), Julia Roberts (10/28/1967, Scorpio Sheep) : The two actors are good friends, who worked together on the films, My Best Friend's Wedding (1997), and August: Osage County (2013). Mulroney described in 2016: "It doesn't always happen with every person that you love and work with -- you kind of go your separate ways. But we, against all odds, managed to maintain a great close friendship...[Roberts is] just one of the most genuine friends I have. She's a really generous person—great sense of humor and really caring. Great family, and she's been a good friend and role model for me."

Steve Jobs and Laurene Powell Jobs

Laurene Powell Jobs (11/6/1963, Scorpio Rabbit), Steve Jobs (2/24/1955, Pisces Sheep) : The two entrepreneurs were married from 1991 until Jobs' death in 2011. They had three children. Laurene Jobs described in 2020: "I can talk about him for hours. I met Steve when I was 25 years old. And from the day we met, we were together for 22 years. So he influenced everything. I grew up with him. Just like anyone that you share your life with, there’s an exchange and a robustness. We had a very, very beautiful and rich connection. We talked a lot, for hours every day. To pull out any one way in which he affected my worldview is impossible, because I have integrated so much of him."

Sidney Poitier (2/20/1927, Pisces Rabbit), Joanna Shimkus (10/30/1943, Scorpio Sheep) : The two actors were married from 1976 until Poitier died in 2022. Shimkus described in 1998: "I guess we were just destined to be [together]...It could be that we lead a very quiet life. It could be that it's just the way it is, I don't really know. But I never really did see him as a Black man. I mean, I know he is Black, but I just saw him as a man, and he was just a wonderful person. An amazing human being...The thing that attracted me to him the most, I think, is his integrity and his honesty [and] his loyalty to his family. He's just an amazing human being. He's just a good, good, good person. And he's cute too, yes! And he was especially gorgeous then. He still is too now, but he was very, very attractive then."

Mac Miller and Kendrick Lamar

Kendrick Lamar (6/17/1987, Gemini Rabbit), Mac Miller (1/19/1992, Capricorn Sheep) : The two rappers were friends who collaborated on songs including, "Fight the Feeling" (2012), and "God is Fair, Sexy Nasty" (2016). Speaking after Miller died tragically at age 26, Lamar described: "All in all that’s the type of person he was — just a good dude. Always made you feel good, just a great energy to have around...Great musician. Great writer. He just always had a smile on his face...No matter what he was going through, he didn’t make you feel sorry for him, you know? He was strong about it —always kept a smile on his face because he wanted you to smile, too. And that’s just something I always loved, you know, no matter whatever personal issues, he gave you that energy. He gave you that energy. It wasn’t no misery loves company with him, you know? He showed a smile and then you gave that smile right back. It made you feel good. So forever we’re gonna remember the life and we’re gonna remember that smile. Celebrate. Mac Miller. Love."
