So here’s the thing – I’ve been with a Virgo for three years now. Me? Aries through and through. When people ask “how’s that fire and earth sign combo working out?”, I just laugh. Let me walk you through what went down last Tuesday night. Real talk.
The Setup
Got home after another crazy work day feeling like a caged lion. You know that Aries energy – restless, buzzing. Meanwhile my Virgo partner had alphabetized the spice rack again. Classic. Started giving neck rubs while complaining about their coworker’s messy spreadsheet formatting. Of course.
Now here’s where we always trip up: I’m going for the kiss, they’re adjusting the throw pillows. Pushed forward anyway because patience isn’t really my thing. Got that “hmm” noise Virgos make when something’s not perfectly aligned. Literally and figuratively.
The Actual Messy Part
Tried setting the mood lighting. Big mistake. They immediately turned two lamps back on because: “I need to see what I’m doing properly, babe.” Right. Got moving on the couch when suddenly –
- “Wait, is that crumb bothering you?” they ask mid-makeout
- My shirt hits the floor – “Should we hang that first?”
- My phone buzzes – “Is that urgent? You might want to check.”
Meanwhile my Aries brain’s screaming: JUST GO WITH THE FLOW PEOPLE. Rolled my eyes so hard it hurt. Grabbed their face: “The phone can wait. The crumbs can wait. This cannot wait.” Pulled that perfectionist right back down. Worked surprisingly well.
The Real Secret Sauce
Afterwards is where Virgos shine honestly. They brought water without asking. Folded the blanket during pillow talk. Made next-day breakfast plans down to the minute. That hyper-attentiveness hits different when it’s directed at you post-intimacy.
Final takeaway? That 80% mental labor stat ain’t wrong – but sometimes grabbing your Virgo and kissing them stupid cuts through the analysis paralysis. Yeah they’ll reorganize your nightstand after. Small price to pay. Fire and earth can work if you’re not precious about occasional sparks.
Still don’t understand why they kept repositioning my feet though. Whatever. Works for us.
