The Gemini/Virgo combination usually works out well in spite of significant differences between the two women. Gemini, an air sign, loves to float off into the world of ideas. Virgo, an earth sign, also has a keen intellect, but applies it in a more grounded way. Gemini loves to gather interesting new ideas from far and wide; Virgo likes to refine and analyze different ideas and select those that will be most useful. Gemini is playful and carefree, going off in all directions at once if possible. Virgo is serious, conscientious, and self-disciplined. How, then, is it possible for these two women to enjoy a harmonious relationship, as they often do?
The reason these two women often do so well together is because each one supplies something the other lacks. Both women are sensitive and have the ability to cooly appraise situations with a sharp eye for details. But the Gemini woman expands her Virgo partner's focus to take in new and surprising vistas. And the Virgo woman helps her Gemini partner to get her feet on the ground and be more discriminating about which ideas she will take up. The Virgo woman can show her Gemini partner ways of being more disciplined. Together these women can communicate with each other remarkably well. They love to talk about situations, perceptions, and inner feelings together. Each woman feels that the other brings a constructive view on what she is experiencing. On a day-to-day basis, these women learn a lot from each other.
Problems between these two will arise, of course. The Gemini woman may find the Virgo's fixation on duty and perfection irksome at times. And the Virgo woman will look askance at the Gemini woman's nonchalance in the face of serious responsibilities of life. But even with these pronounced differences in style, these two women have much to offer each other once they work through these difficulties. Sexually, these two women can be very compatible, as they both approach love from a mental point of view, and both need to talk about and analyze their feelings.
