Strengths as a Couple
The primary source of strength that both Aries and Virgo can draw from is their mutual dedication towards making the most out of their time here on Earth. In other words, a relationship founded on these signs is one that has a healthy culture of discipline, passion, and stability, which will certainly help in mitigating each other’s weaknesses.
For one, Aries has a well-known tendency for being fiery at the beginning, only to have their passion die when an obstacle proves too daunting to overcome. Virgos can help in this regard by using their problem-solving skills and their own rooted nature to inspire Aries to keep on pushing on the one hand and provide them with practical solutions that would allow them to either burn through or go around a problem on the other.
Likewise, Virgos have difficulties showing their passion, as their immovable nature forces them to keep their emotions in check and always look to reason for an explanation. As such, scenarios outside their rational capabilities tend to blindside them emotionally, which social situations are unfortunately full of. Aries, therefore, has the crucial task of ensuring that Virgos don’t collapse under the weight of their own intellect by providing emotional and social support when Virgos need it the most.
All of these effectively mean that Aries and Virgos make for great romantic partners since the actions that they take will often drive the other to make better decisions. If they do everything at a sustained pace, they will certainly see their relationships last for a long time.
Weaknesses as a Couple
The biggest problem of an Aries-Virgo relationship is essentially setting up a healthy power dynamic. While not necessarily polar opposites, both are fundamentally assertive personalities in their own way: Aries, with its burning flame, will do everything to drive their point home in an argument. Virgos, on the other hand, are immovable and firm in their judgment and will equally assert their own position if pushed.
This can make fights particularly tricky since totally conceding to the other's position means deviating from their personal natures. As such, the couple will need to agree on a few things and establish necessary boundaries before they form a relationship. In particular, both have to be ready to appreciate compromise when there is a need for it.
For example, Virgos should be ready to counter the Aries’ tendency to excessively fixate on things by using their wisdom and patience to offer alternatives to certain predicaments. Similarly, Aries will need to teach Virgos the importance of acknowledging their feelings before offering solutions, because the first step to establishing a compromise is to first acknowledge one’s feelings on the matter.
To sum up, there will be a need for both sides to meet in the middle when their relationship is tested. Fortunately, their personal traits will allow them to do this, but this will often require either of them to reach out to the other. Swallowing one's pride will be essential to reach this.
Compatibility
Romance
Aries are very passionate lovers, often with a desire to initiate contact first in order to slowly but surely establish intimacy. It can be said that to them, sex is a means to an important end in a relationship: to become closer together and get to understand each other more deeply.
As for Virgo, however, sex can be a bit of a tricky proposition. On one end, they are equally capable of passionate romance, and will not hold themselves back if they are with their preferred partners.
However, they are very well-guarded because they do not see sex as just a mere act of pleasure. For them, sex is not just something to know your partner with, it's an expression of commitment.
Thus, timing is of the essence. If you’re either of these signs, know your partner well by talking and laughing with them. Go with the flow, and when you’re both ready, do it.
Activities
Much like the burning flames the Aries so keenly associates themselves with, they cannot thrive in confined spaces or relationships. They feel the primal human need to do something, and will, therefore, be more productive in social situations, exchanging ideas with other people.
Virgos, however, is a little more reserved. While they can socialize with others due to their inherent adaptability, they often prefer doing couch activities such as watching movies or reading books because they require time and inspiration to map out their next moves, as well as charge their batteries for the next day's undertakings.
Thankfully, however, the conflict isn’t as severe as you’d think. As said before, Virgo is an adaptable sign, while Aries also needs to recharge after a while, so they have much to bond over moments of calm and relaxation. Agreeing which activities would be worthwhile in those moments will be something the two of you need to talk over.
Communication
In this regard, both signs are actually quite compatible, because they strike the perfect chord at nearly every opportunity. For one, Aries are extroverted and great morale boosters, always ready to give Virgos a little push if they so need it. This is bolstered by the fact that it’s a cardinal sign, so they always get things started.
In contrast, Virgos are introspective thinkers and approach situations with carefulness and tact, making them the worthy match to a slightly more aggressive Aries, since they can tell the Aries when to stop and when to let themselves go. Since they’re also mutable signs, they’re great at finishing any initiative the Aries starts.
This careful combination of aggression and restraint makes them great at situations that require teamwork. If your partner's also your workmate or if you're planning to expand your financial or even romantic prospects, you can be assured that the two of you will communicate well with little to no misunderstandings along the way.
Values
On the surface, some may consider Aries and Virgo to be difficult to match. The former can appear overbearing due to their adventurous and fiery nature, while the latter can appear aloof due to their calm and grounded personality, but when you take into account the many other factors that surround them, you’ll realize they’re more compatible than you think.
For one, Virgo is an Earth and mutable sign; they end the seasons, sustain life, and are very focused on achieving stability, while Aries is a Fire and cardinal sign; they are creative and often give birth to the things which Virgos aspire to. In love, they make the first move, and the Virgo maintains the connection once it's established.
This means essentially that Virgo maintains what Aries begins, and since both pacify their negative tendencies, any relationship they establish will naturally be self-sustaining and longer-lasting than other romantic combinations.
Emotions
While Aries is vaunted and feared for their aggression, there is another interpretation to their flame: when you stand close to it, it soothes you in your most trying times. They will come to your defense as passionately as they attack their goals, so you can always count on them to comfort you.
These qualities can also be found in a Virgo; they may not be as approachable as Aries, but their connection to the life-giving force that is Mother Earth means they’re naturally nurturing over other people. Virgo keeps the flame of Aries alive, just as Aries nourishes Virgo when they’re feeling down or shaken.
This makes their relationship fundamentally reciprocal, with both sides always willing to give each other a hug in the direst of moments. They may be more focused on their goals and thus refrain from displaying their love for one another in public, but they will always return to each other’s arms after a long and exhausting day, ready for tomorrow.
Healing Crystals for Virgo and Aries
Rose Quartz
With the challenging road that they have to face, they will need some extra power in order to face their ordeals. On the onset, Virgo and Aries are definitely starting on a bad foot. Since their conflicting elemental signs are both stubborn, positive change as a couple is something that they might not achieve.
Given such, prioritizing Rose Quartz is the first thing that they have to do. Since this healing crystal brings healing itself, nothing is impossible with genuine love. By empowering that feeling and turning it into a daily decision, then this couple will be able to find ways to work it out.
Lapis Lazuli
Obviously, one of the core things that this pair has to work out is their communication skills. Since they have different ways to express themselves, their thoughts will often appear to be conflicting even when they’re not.
With that, Lapis Lazuli is definitely the perfect healing crystal. I'd be a bit overboard to say but just to stress things out, they can practically miss out on other crystals except this one, due to 3 important qualities: its ability to bring truth on the level of spirituality and promote honesty, friendship, and sociability on the subconscious level, which in turn, translates to both signs being able to accept the truth on the conscious level.
Amethyst
Leaving Aries and Virgo on their own will certainly not work. Without the help of some higher force, their differences will get the best of them. Instead of seeing the bigger picture, they will tend to submit to their faulty perspectives where one overrules the other.
With that, Amethyst is a perfect healing crystal for them. Proving spiritual clarity and growth, this healing crystal presents the opportunity for them both to seek a higher version of themselves. By tapping on their spiritual energies, both Aries and Virgo can unlock different possibilities they never knew existed.
