Scores are calculated from sun-sign astrology alone: the angle between the two signs on the zodiac wheel, their elements and their modalities. A full birth chart includes the Moon, Venus, Mars and the houses, and can shift this picture considerably.
Aries and Virgo — the verdict
No shared element, no shared mode, no shared instinct — Aries acts then checks, Virgo checks then acts, and each is genuinely baffled by the other's method. What they do share is a refusal to accept a sloppy result. Where this pair works, it is because Virgo quietly fixes what Aries breaks and Aries pushes Virgo past the analysis into actually shipping.

What works
- Virgo's precision rescues Aries' speed from its own mistakes
- Aries breaks Virgo's overthinking loop with sheer momentum
- Both are honest to a fault, in different registers
Where it strains
- Virgo's corrections land as criticism on a sign that hates being corrected

The one thing to get right
Split the work by phase: Aries takes the launch, Virgo takes the finish. Neither should audit the other's half.
