• Neighbors (a semi-sextile). Signs side by side share a border but little else, so each has something the other lacks.

In love

Virgo shows love by fixing, planning and noticing. Libra shows love through romance, conversation and creating a beautiful shared life. The pair can charm each other at the start, because both are polite, thoughtful and considerate. Over time, Libra may feel Virgo is too busy improving things to simply enjoy them, and Virgo may find Libra indecisive. Libra asks how things should look, Virgo asks how they should work. The relationship thrives when Virgo makes space for pleasure and Libra helps with the follow-through.

Chemistry and sex

The attraction is gentle, built on courtesy and attention. Libra brings romance and a feel for atmosphere, and Virgo brings care and an eye for what a partner likes. They can be shy together at the beginning, each waiting for the other to lead. Libra may want more candlelight and Virgo more practical comfort. Small steps work well here: set the mood, speak openly and compliment generously. Virgo can loosen up, and Libra can say what it wants.

How they talk and fight

Both are courteous, so fights are quiet. Virgo points out the flaw in the plan and Libra feels judged, then smiles and says it is fine when it is not. Virgo takes that at face value. The unspoken hurt grows. Libra's indecision also irritates Virgo, who wants an answer. A cooler approach helps: Virgo should phrase critiques as questions, and Libra should say how it feels the first time, not the fifth. Neither enjoys shouting, which makes calm talks possible.

As friends

As friends, Libra brings the social invitations and Virgo brings the reliability. They are good company at galleries, markets or dinners where the conversation is thoughtful. Virgo tends to be the one who helps Libra decide, and Libra smooths Virgo's rough edges with other people.

Working together

In a team, Libra handles clients and Virgo handles the details. Libra's diplomacy is a good match for Virgo's accuracy. Decisions may take a while, since Virgo wants more data and Libra wants everyone to agree. Set deadlines and it works well.

Over the long run

Over the years, Virgo and Libra can build a peaceful, tidy home with good taste and thoughtful routines. They both dislike chaos and share a preference for being fair. The long-term question is whether each feels truly known. Virgo may hold back its worries, and Libra may hold back its needs, all in the name of keeping things pleasant. Honest talk, even when it is awkward, gives the partnership depth. With that, this pair become a comfortable and civil team who still enjoy dinner out.

Making it work

• Virgo, phrase criticism as a question, not a correction.
• Libra, state your preference the first time you are asked.
• Plan a pleasure-only outing with no improvements allowed.

The score comes from the classic aspect between the two Sun signs. Your Moon, Venus, Mars and Rising signs can change the picture a lot.
