So I was scrolling through my old astrology notes last week, totally randomly, and this one question popped into my head: how did Virgos and Geminis actually do in love back in 2017? Like, specifically that year. Weirdly specific, right? But my brain just latched onto it. Didn’t find squat in my notebooks, so boom – time to research.
First Step: Digging Up Old Forecasts
Grabbed my laptop around 9 PM Sunday night, coffee cold already. Started typing crap like “Virgo Gemini 2017 love” and “zodiac compatibility that year”. Man, most sites just recycled generic stuff – no dates, no specifics. Annoying as hell. Then I remembered: some legit astrologers do yearly forecasts. Dug deeper past the spammy sites.
The Expert Hunt
Found two big things real fast:
- Mercury retrograde wrecked communication: Gemini rules talking, Virgo overthinks – both got fried when Mercury went backwards three freaking times that year. Expert blogs kept screaming “AVOID SERIOUS TALKS MID-APRIL AND LATE AUGUST.” Oof.
- Jupiter in Libra tilted the scales: One video I found explained Jupiter was air-sign territory all 2017. Geminis love that! But Virgos? Not so much. Felt unbalanced – Gemini wanted adventures, Virgo wanted routines. Experts called it a “compression cooker for mismatched needs.”
Printed out like twelve pages of notes from old forums where astrologers argued. Highlighted the brutal parts – stuff like “Gemini’s flightiness clashed HARD with Virgo’s nitpicking that June.”
My Own Experience Sneaking In
Totally paused here ’cause I dated a Gemini dude briefly in 2017 – forgot til now! Remembered him ghosting me after I organized his messy apartment. Classic ’17 energy: Mercury was retrograde in Taurus that April, and here I was (Virgo sun) rearranging his sock drawer while he (Gemini moon) bounced. The forecasts nailed it – we crashed because Mercury chaos made us talk past each other. Wrote that down as live evidence.
Compiling the Mess
Took my highlighted printouts plus my old journal entries. Cross-referenced dates with planet movements:
Key takeaway: Successful pairs either a) laughed off misunderstandings or b) broke up by Halloween. Zero middle ground.
Summarized everything bullet-point style in my notebook. Made sure to scribble “MERCURY RX = RELATIONSHIP KRYPTONITE” in all caps. Even drew little Gemini twins and Virgo symbols doodles.
So What’s the Verdict?
Basically, 2017 was rough unless both people worked crazy hard. Geminis needed freedom, Virgos demanded stability. Planetary vibes amplified the gap. Even experts said it was one of the toughest years for this match. My take? Unless they balanced air and earth traits intentionally, nahhh. Not their year. Just glad my notes finally make sense now!
