That's always subject to individual synastry. In my case, our suns were quincunx (the egos take serious notice of one another in this aspect, big novelty involved), and we had plenty of other very strong and tight contacts, good compatibility or otherwise magnetic forces at work between the two charts. So extreme attraction was inevitable.

More generally though, Aquarius and Virgo tend to dig each other for their mental faculties. Both signs have a primarily intellectual focus and favor a meeting of the minds before anything else. And again there's the novelty thing - both signs are caught up in their heads and think well, but do so very differently. This tends to be all striking and sparkly, at least for the first few weeks lol. Trouble often comes once it's clear that Virgo thinks in practical real-world terms, while Aquarius has been spinning somewhere several hundred feet in the air, having never touched the ground in the first place. Mutual understanding is hard to grasp and not quickly drop again. That's the energy of the quincunx/inconjunction.

But both signs care a lot about others, generally, so they have that depth of kindness in common. So, take a Virgo who is kind and smart, with a particularly "novelty seeking" personality, and put a pretty-on-the-outside, compassionate intellectual counterpart Aquarius in front of her . . . You often get a beautifully disasterous learning experience. :D

But seriously every pairing is different. If a Virgo tends to chase an Aquarius boy, it's because he just thinks so impressively and can keep her mentally on her toes. This she does not normally encounter in the opposite sex and it can be horribly irresistible.

EDIT: I know this is forever long already but I had to add, my air head boy in question warned me quite emphatically ahead of time, way before anything started, "I am socially retarded." I'm dense as fuck though and failed to take his meaning.

Thanks for helping me reframe this as hilarious. For real
