    Together, Gemini and Virgo create an astrological square (an aspect that creates tension and conflict). A square forms when 2 zodiac signs have the same modality, and Gemini and Virgo are both mutable. They have a hard time seeing eye-to-eye, but they can accomplish great things when they’re on the same page.
    • Mutable signs tend to be open-minded and adaptable, but they can also be stubborn and assertive. [1]
    • Both ruled by Mercury, Gemini and Virgo have a lot more in common than they may realize. They’re intellectual overachievers and can work with each others’ strengths when they have a common goal.

    With Mercury guiding their motives, these signs love anything intellectual—reading, writing, creating, you name it! Their desire to learn brings them together and gives them plenty to talk about. When it comes to friendly debates, Gemini and Virgo make the perfect match.
    • Gemini: You’re extroverted and like learning through experience. [2]
    • Virgo: You’re introverted and enjoy learning through creative and factual mediums. [3]
    • Gemini and Virgo friends, try attending a public rally, visiting an art museum, going to a book signing event, or listening to a podcast together to combine your comfort levels and have fun together.
    • Reader Poll: We asked 632 wikiHow readers about what topics they most enjoy chatting about with a Gemini girl, and only 7% of them said politics . [Take Poll] Some people find politics too personal or controversial, so stick to talking about her passions or other intellectual topics until you get to know her better.

    Virgo is rather conservative when it comes to emotions. They think before they speak, whereas Gemini can share anything with anyone. This difference in over- and under-sharing can frustrate these signs, especially in an argument, but it doesn’t have to be a dealbreaker, as long as both signs take a little extra care when communicating.

    In a Gemini-Virgo friendship, the Virgo will generally take the lead thanks to their organized and assertive personality. Gemini generally follows Virgo’s direction, as long as they can be creative and do something new. This may cause tension in some social situations, but when they work together, they're a forced to be reckoned with.
    • Gemini: If something’s not working out with a Virgo, prepare a short and sweet statement of your concerns so you don’t get off track while speaking with them.
    • Virgo: Don’t be afraid to take a chance and follow a Gemini’s spontaneous lead. You might find that they challenge you to expand your worldview.

    An unplanned road trip? Count Gemini in, but leave Virgo out. As an Air sign, Gemini loves doing things on a whim, whereas the grounded Earth sign Virgo likes an itinerary. This difference can cause Gemini and Virgo friends to argue when making plans, but can also lead to a fun and well-thought out adventure if a common goal is in mind.
    • Gemini: Give your Virgo friend a few days notice before an adventure so they can plan accordingly.
    • Virgo: Be patient with Gemini when it comes to organization, and try going with the flow now and then.

    Expert Answer
    Virgos and Geminis have the same love language where they love to talk about what's on their mind. So, certain people who are attracted to intelligence or curiosity would definitely be compatible.
