Emotional Compatibility

1
Pisces are emotionally open while Virgos are more reserved. Ruled by Neptune, the planet of imagination, Pisces is deeply in touch with their sensitive side. They’re willing to let their partner in on everything from their life dreams to the stressful thoughts that keep them up at night. On the other hand, Virgo is ruled by Mercury, the planet of logic. As a result, Virgos tend to appear logical and cool, though deep down, they’re just as empathetic and caring as Pisces.
- Compatibility Tip: Schedule regular check-ins with each other to ask “How are you feeling about us?” Virgo will love the sense of routine and Pisces will feel right at home with the chance to express themselves.

A Pisces-Virgo pairing creates a "safe space" for both people. In this water-earth pairing, you’ll always feel supported. Pisces brings a naturally intuitive, caring personality to the table. Meanwhile, Virgos possess an unparalleled ability to stay grounded and breathe through tough times. If Pisces gets to be too hard on themselves, Virgo can help them keep things in perspective. Likewise, Pisces is always ready to help Virgo deal with the stress that comes from Virgo's innate perfectionism.
- Compatibility Tip: This pairing can tend towards co-dependence because these two signs are so good at supporting each other. Be sure to set healthy boundaries and develop a support system of friends and family outside of your relationship.
