Compatibility
Leo and Virgo
Leo enters the room. Virgo notices the price tag still hanging from Leo's sleeve.
Together
Neighbors on the wheel and strangers in temperament. Leo is the performance and Virgo is backstage, with the clipboard and the spare batteries. Leo makes life feel like an occasion. Virgo makes sure the occasion has enough chairs. Each quietly admires the other's skill and quietly doubts its value.
Fire and earth, fixed and mutable. Leo wants to be adored exactly as is. Virgo loves through improvement. There is the whole difficulty, in two sentences.
Love
Virgo's devotion is real and enormous, and it comes out as corrections. A note about the shirt, a gentle edit of the speech, a reminder about the parking ticket. To Leo, who wanted a standing ovation, this reads like a review. Meanwhile Leo's praise is generous and loud, and Virgo, who never believes compliments, suspects a sales pitch. Both are being loved and neither recognizes the dialect.
Friendship
Better. Leo drags Virgo out of the house, and Virgo keeps Leo out of trouble once they are there.
Work
Actually good, if the roles are clear. Leo is the face, Virgo runs the operation behind it. The danger is that Leo takes the bow alone and Virgo files it under evidence.
Where it breaks
Criticism meets pride. Virgo cannot stop noticing, and Leo cannot stand being noticed that way.
The frog's verdict
Two stars, sturdy ones when they hold. Virgo, give one compliment a day with no note attached. Leo, ask Virgo for an honest opinion once a week, and then say thank you for it.
