Do Virgos and Sagittarius/Scorpio cusps work out well?

what the hell is a cusp?

it means like, on the border

he’s a sagittarius technically but only by one day

ohhhh i get it why not just say he’s sagitarius then?

There could be some major problems there, astrologically speaking.

Scor-Sag people are entusiastic, spontaneous, courageous, and bold knowledge seekers who thrive on competition, challenges, and strong spirits. Once they choose a goal they let no one stand in their way to achieve it. They’re natuarally flirtatious and outgoing – sometimes comedians. But most importantly they are the gatherers of knowldge. They want to learn and achieve more than anything, sometimes at any cost.

Enter the Virgos, who definitely would not appreciate that “at no cost” attitude. Us Virgos are finnicky, stubborn beings obsessed with perfection and the minutia. We love to shoulder the burdens of others and serve others to make the world a better place.

This contradicts the Scor-Sag’s attitude, which at times can be self-absorbed.

To put it another way: Virgos are the sign of the earth, whereas Scor-Sags are fire and water. VERY different. Virgos are stoic and grounded. Scor-sags are passionate and flexible. Yikes, might make for turbulent arguments and relationships!

The GOOD NEWS: These signs both appreciate achieving goals, intellectual associations, and the flirtatious nature of the Scor-Sag may work out well sometimes – Virgos love to be praised.

So it’s not a lost cause. But just be careful that the Scor-Sag doesn’t trample the Virgo’s sensitivity, and Virgo should bend a little to be more creative and outgoing… every now and then (don’t expect too much though, a Virgo is still a Virgo!). And you both should try to compromise in the schism between be selfless and selfish.

By the way, if you’re a Virgo, keep a sharp eye out for Tauruses. They make the BEST Virgo mates! Trust me, I snagged one for myself and we’re like peas and carrots.

Taurus men are emotional, stability-craving creatures who usually love children, crave financial security, and adore the attention that Virgos give them, when Virgos start fussing with people, as we tend to do. Virgos will usually dominate Tauruses (hey I’ll admit it, I’m the alpha partner in our marriage), but they kind of LIKE it.

Virgo-Taurus marriages are usually very loving, passionate, secure. Tauruses bring out the wild (bull-like) sexual side of Virgos. Hooray!

Yeah, watch for a Taurus.

yes! thank you, nannerfish… i’m a really weird virgo, to be fair. i was raised by an aries and a leo, so i’m much more attention seeking and a lot more laid back than the average virgo, even though i’m right smack in the middle of the sign. definitely not a perfectionist.

last boy i met was a taurus and he’s a total asshole. so, maybe a different one?

Hey, I’ll never say there aren’t exceptions to the rule. And bad people can be born under any sign.

But, astrologically speaking, Tauruses are going to be your best mate.

If you’re a more laid back and attention speaking Virgo (my head starts spinning just thinking about that), then you may have more options. A Scor/Sag may very well be a great match for you.

Besides, nothing’s ever written in stone. Astrological signs are just guidelines.

true, true. i appreciate ya hollerin back, bananafish. :)

So uh, what about full sag [dec 11, me] and pisces [feb 27, him]? We are like peas and carrots, but only because I am less flighty and more emotional than the typical sag. Are we a good match according to astrology?

@squirbel, I think you’re mistaken: Most Sags aren’t what I’d call “flighty”: Outgoing, ambitious, and flirtatious, maybe. But they’re also very determined and emotional. “Flighty” implies a lack of thought: When Sags are usually very intellectual and thoughtful. Being emotional isn’t very typical – you’re right about that – but you may have other qualities that make you more like a Sag than you know.

True, typically Sags and Pisces are not good fits: Sags are not known for being super loyal or nurturing, and Pisces tend to be a little more clingy and needy.

But if you’re a little more earthy and centered as a Sag, then you may suit the Pisces’ desires for a love anchor to show them compassion and tenderness.

Astrologically speaking, you could be in for rocky times ahead if the nature of the stars shines brightly in either of you.

I’ve read so many different things about astrology and they all say I’m supposed to be with a leo because I am an aries. I am dating one now and know that i’m supposed to be with him but I have definitely dated other leo’s before and obviously wasn’t meant to be so I don’t think it is all about astrology. It might be one teeny tiny part but not the whole thing.

I am super loyal and emotional, to a fault – and nuturing because of my horrible past – but I am almost word for word a sag [tarot.com’s description].

He’s clingy and needy, but I like it. He has also said that I’m clingy and needy, but he likes it. It’s not an issue in this relationship. heh..

And that’s true – the bit about astrology not being the whole and only predictor. I just wanted to hear what she had to say because it’s enlightening.

good point, blondie. the other thing is that Grampa (boy in question) is totally against astrology and thinks it’s super lame and baloney. so… i don’t know. i love him already cause he’s one of my BFFs, and we get along retardedly well.

(i hope i didn’t make anyone mad with the “retardedly”.)

i guess i just want a sign from somewhere as to whether it’ll work or not. i’m afraid to go for it because we are so close and if our friendship got jacked i would be heartbroken.

@blondie411, Of course astrology is just a jumping off point, there’s so much else that also goes into a person’s personality and behavior. I look at astrology as just someone’s framework.

Now, not so surprising that plenty of Leos haven’t been a great fit. Both are passionate fire signs! And that can either mean a wonderful red-hot connection, or it can mean a fire storm. Not shocked over here to learn that two fire personalities may have clashed.

With all fire signs, it’s going to be hit and miss – but when it hits, it’s soooo good.

Grampa doesn’t have to believe in astrology for it to still play a part in who he is (which, by the way, as an intellectual type, it’s not wonder he doubts what he can’t scientifically prove. Ironic, kind of like a self-fulfilling prophecy).

I wouldn’t base a decision to start or end a relationship on astrology. There’s too much else at play. I’d use it more as a tool to foresee where problems/compatibility may emerge in a relationship. But it’s never a guarantess. More like a loose guideline.

I agree with that :D

do virgos and libras go good together?

lol!

I don’t know, I think I shouldn’t keep acting as astrologer until I get a little lurve here. Hahahaha.

@qualitycontrol, heck to the no!

Libras and Virgos are like oil and water. Libras are carefree, and detest the little details that Virgos build their lives around.

Sometimes opposites can attract, but Virgos and Libras are likely to attract….and then drive eachother up the frickin’ wall. Not personalities that work well at all!

Astrology is bunk. Please don’t try and determine how a relationship will work or not work based on superstitious unsupported nonsense.

Bah, you’re no fun.

i think pretty much everything i’ve based my life on so far has been superstititous unsupported nonsense… why stop now?

btw, i entered my birthday in a “what’s your REAL sign?” website, and apparently i’m a leo and he’s a libra. so heyyyy! that makes much more sense.

@EmilyBearclaw
“i think pretty much everything i’ve based my life on so far has been superstititous unsupported nonsense… why stop now?”

I’m not sure if this is serious or not. One reason is that it makes you worry about silly things that don’t exist.

@EmilyBearclaw

Also, I presume from your responses that you are very young. So, I’ll sound like an old fogey, but it’s also part of maturity and stability.

@crisw, I can’t speak for everyone here, but I’m pretty fogey myself. That whole maturity, stability, responsibility – got that.

But all of those things don’t preclude you from believing in and/or discussing openly things beyond this world.

My advice to fogeys everywhere:

Keep an open mind and enjoy life! We’re all having fun on this board enjoying the possibilities of astrology. I suggest you join us. Com’on in and jump in to the deep end! – the water’s fine and we’re all having a grand time! Wish you were here.

@bananafish

The problem is that some people actually believe the stuff.

It’s one thing to laugh over the horoscopes in the paper, it’s another to actually make real, important life decisions based on it.

Is there no in between?

Can’t you find some value in astrology and other mysteries of the universe, without relying on them for major life decisions??

It’s not an either-or proposition. You can put some stock in astrology while still tempering the mystery and uncertainty of it with logic, reason, and certain knowledge.

Plus, just because you don’t believe, don’t assume that that automatically means it empirically not true. For example, my spirituality sees value in astrology. Conversely, I don’t believe much in the Bible – but I won’t sit here and say that it’s ridiculous anyone could ever believe that “stuff”.

You may “know” that astrology can’t possibly be true (why is that, btw?? What makes you so sure? Because your parents told you so? Because it’s not an easy concept?) – but remember it wasn’t so many centuries ago that most people “knew” that the earth was flat.

crisw – a closed mind is such a terrible waste.

@crisw

I actually have a pretty open mind. Show me the facts, and if they support a theory, I’ll accept the theory.

There is no evidence at all that astrology is valuable at making predictions. None, zero, nada. There is a great deal of evidence, from many studies, that it is completely bogus. Why should I be willing to accept something that is demonstrably untrue? That isn’t opening my mind, that is gullibility.

As far as the earth being flat- people thought it was flat with the data set that they had, then, as the data set got better, the common knowledge changed.

Astrology is fun. That is all.

No one takes it seriously – we ask for astrological opinions to see if they align with our interests and goals. When they do, it’s as if the stars wished our current situation to be. When the astrological predictions don’t align with what we want, or say the right thing – all of a sudden they are hogwash.

It’s fun. Silly, even. We know it. No one is basing important decisions on astrology.

I think that’s the basis of what bananafish is getting at – and if not – it’s my point.

Thanks for the reading bananafish!

@squirbel
“No one is basing important decisions on astrology.”

No, the problem is that some people *are”- such as, possibly, the asker of this question. If she truly would discard a relationship over something silly like astrology, we have a problem. The fact that she’d ask about something silly at though it were a real factor in a relationship is indicative of people giving astrology far, far more credit than it deserves.

As I said above, laughing over your horoscope in the newspaper is an entirely different thing.

My best buddy is a Sag/Scorpio cusp, and I think I might need to marry him one day. But, I am dorky about astrology and want to know what our likelihood is.

They aren’t even together yet. ”...best buddy.”
She is entertaining a dream about the future. ”I might need to marry him one day.”
She acknowledges that it is for fun, and not serious. ”I am dorky about astrology…”

And if I recall correctly, the original poster is between 12–16. Nothing serious.

I am currently in a relationship with a scorpio/sadge cusp, and it’s working out quite well. As a Virgo, I tend to be on the cynical and serious side, and he makes me lighten up. Sometimes, it’s good for a Virgo to have that person that makes them a little more comfortable in their own skins, and it’s also good for the Scorpio/Sadge to have that seriousness to being them back down to earth. hope it works out for you!
