Virgo
Aug 23 – Sep 22
Leo and Virgo are one sign apart (30°, a semi-sextile)
Neighbors with different styles
Leo is expressive, Virgo is modest. Neighbors in the zodiac, you complement each other when Virgo appreciates Leo's heart and Leo values Virgo's care.
Why: the angle between Leo and Virgo
Leo and Virgo are one sign apart (30°, a semi-sextile). Neighboring signs differ in element, modality and polarity. Each sign is traditionally seen as a reaction to the one before it, so you can learn a lot from each other, but your instincts rarely line up on their own.

Where it works and where it rubs
Elements. Fire wants to move now; Earth wants to plan and keep. You can achieve a great deal together if speed and caution are seen as strengths rather than criticism.
Modalities. A Fixed sign brings consistency and a Mutable sign brings flexibility; one keeps you on course, the other keeps things fresh.
Polarity. One active (Fire or Air) and one receptive (Earth or Water) sign: your basic energies complement rather than mirror each other.
