Astrology: Science, Faith or Superstition
Astrology depends on an ancient assumption that the positions of stars and planets in the sky influence the character and development of human beings and the hour of important events in their lives.
The origin of astrology cannot be determined with precision. Humans have always been fascinated by shining stars, the moving planets, the movement of the sun across the sky, and the changing phases of the moon. The heavenly bodies were worshipped as gods, just as various figures and pictures were seen in the pattern of the stars – but different pictures in different cultures. We know that in ancient Mesopotamia (Iraq) as well as in Egypt 4,000 years ago they had a kind of "art of star reading" with the aim of predicting when the great rivers would overflow and thereby determining the right time for sowing and harvest. From this assumption it seemed possible to proceed to the supposition that the distant stars and planets "governed" all life on earth – including the destinies and actions of humanity.
Since antiquity, astrology has been almost forgotten for varying periods. But at other times it has again attracted people – usually in times of uncertainty and crisis, just as have the gift of prophecy, spiritism and religious sects with a magical dimension.

Being opposing signs in astrology means they will compliment each other in many ways but at the same time be very different aswell and that may cause friction. Pisces are quite sensitive and emotional whereas a virgo is quite methodical and controlled about emotional matters so that could be a potential disharmonious trait to the relationship. But at the same time Pisces' are known to be impractical and virgo's natural ability toward practical matters can help a pisces very much. But I would say any 2 people of any astrology sign can come together and make it work if they are willing to accept the differences in the other.

Quite honestly, that match-up has given me 2 of the most enjoyable and fulfilling relationships that I have ever had. I'm a Virgo and the women where Pisces. The first ended because I was young and stupid and I didn't know what I really had until I damaged the relationship beyond repair. The second was one of those "If you love someone, set them free" deals. She would have stayed if only I had asked her to. We are still best friends but many 1000's miles apart. I still get butterflies whenever I think of her.

Absolutely not: you are opposites! And opposites can't stay together because you have very little in common.
People from the same element get along next to perfect.
Fire: Aries-Leo-Sag
Water:Cancer-Scorpio-Pisces
Earth: Taurus-Virgo-Capricorn
Wind:Aquarius-Gemini-Libra
Of course any combination is possible, depending on your other aspects and planet positions.
www.astro.com has a pretty good forecast page.
