Sun in Virgo, Moon in Aries

You are meticulous and practical, with a natural flexibility. You like to analyze everything, and you think logically. Starting something new comes easily to you, and then you see it through methodically and systematically. You work hard and can hardly picture your life without work. You are caring and sensible, and you like to help people with real, practical deeds. You can also flare up quickly. Your feelings come out freely, openly and on impulse. Subtle moods in others can escape you at times, because you lean toward ideas and action, and pausing to read the mood in the room can bring you closer to the people you love.

You make your decisions after careful analysis, mapping out the steps ahead and weighing every nuance and possible risk. You carry them out directly, boldly and often bluntly, and there is always something new and a little rebellious in the way you do it. You handle information well and you can put your goals into words. When you are in charge, you give clear, well-checked instructions and keep a close eye on how they are followed, adding more and more remarks and refinements along the way. Few people can sort the useful from the useless and the valuable from the harmful as well as you can.

You are thrifty and careful with money, you love cleanliness, and you look after your own health and that of your loved ones. Even so, you give sleep little time, since it is far from the most interesting part of life for you. You eat quickly, in short breaks between busy stretches. Being of service to others holds an important place in your life. In your wish to escape chaos and put everything in order, you can become a perfectionist about details. When you care for loved ones, you are persistent and tend to follow your own idea of what is good for them, and asking how they feel about it can make your care even more welcome.

On the whole, rest does not appeal to you much. When you do take a break, you like it to come with something useful, ideally some work, and switching from one kind of activity to another also counts as rest for you. You unwind through physical activity and by doing things your own way. Tension from the day can build up and sometimes spill over onto the people closest to you, so regular sport, perhaps at home, is a very good outlet. You often fix things around the house, move the furniture, and are the first to try a new way of making daily life easier or a new idea for the interior.

What you set out to do and what you need inside do not always agree, and your softer, more receptive side may need a little more room.

In a man's chart, this combination brings flexibility, good analytical skills, a love of talk and changeability, and he is often drawn to a partner who is very active, independent and spontaneous.

In a woman's chart, it puts the accent on passion, speed and dynamism, and she is drawn to a man who is discerning and practical and notices every small detail.
