Zodiac Collection: Virgo in Love

Virgo? Love? It’s true. Virgo is as capable of deep romantic bonds as any other sign. Virgo is often stereotyped as cold and unromantic, but this Earth sign just has their own love language. Virgo isn’t about grand gestures or effusive declarations of love but something more practical: a tomato plant, not a dozen roses. Virgo has high standards for themselves and others, and the best partner for a Virgo will recognize that Virgo sees what their partner is capable of and just wants them to be their best self. Those high standards translate into an active mind, always taking in information about the world and learning about the people they love. They are organized thinkers who lead organized lives, but that doesn’t mean they are stuck-up or overly stuffy.

Element: Earth

Virgo is rock solid. Like the Earth orbiting the sun year after year, Virgo loves a well-established routine. Dependable as the seasons, as nurturing as the soil, Virgo has a loving, compassionate side that is just as important as the critical, methodical, and rigid aspects of the sign.

Ruling Planet: Mercury

Named for the fleet-footed messenger of the Roman gods, Mercury zips around the Sun every 88 days, so fast that it sometimes appears to be moving backwards through the night sky relative to the stars. In astrology, Mercury represents the intellect and communication, which is why Virgo tends to be a quick thinker with an organized mind.

Virgo Aesthetics

Just because Virgo is stereotyped as a fussy, fastidious, intellectual sign doesn’t mean that their aesthetic is plain or unfashionable. Just look at the world’s most famous Virgos, Beyoncé and Keanu Reeves. The Virgo aesthetic is intellectual yet unpretentious. It’s not crying out for attention, but it is thoroughly thought out, with a clear artistic vision. Many of our clean, modern styles would likely appeal to a Virgo.

Compatibility With Other Signs

Any pair of zodiac signs can become a powerful team if you know your own strengths and areas to work on. In any relationship, knowing yourself, allowing yourself to be honest and vulnerable, and being receptive to your partner’s needs are the keys to happiness. Understanding your tendencies and traits as well as those of your partner can help you turn any perceived point of incompatibility into a strength—as long as you don’t make Virgo change their plans at the last minute.

Aries: Fiery Aries likes to shoot first and ask questions later, which can frustrate the best-laid plans of Virgo. These two signs, one impulsive, the other methodical, may be drawn to each other in an “opposites attract” way, but quickly find their relationship mired in argument after argument. These are, however, both signs with a lot of curiosity, and Virgo in particular is interested in learning what makes their partner tick. If the connection is deep enough, these two can harness that curiosity to work out their differences.

Taurus: Taurus and Virgo, two Earth signs, both have their feet firmly planted on the ground. Pragmatic, determined, and dependable Taurus is a perfect match for detail-oriented, orderly Virgo. These two don’t do anything on a whim. When they get together, they are in it for the long haul and will enjoy a dedicated, peaceful life together.

Gemini: Both Gemini and Virgo are ruled by Mercury, but that’s where the similarities end. Gemini loves socializing, and while Virgo might be initially intellectually stimulated by Gemini, Virgo-Gemini relationships tend to end in frustration for Virgo, who craves commitment and stability, and boredom for Gemini, who sees Virgo as too rigid in their approach to life. The saving grace of this relationship is Mercury. Even though Mercury’s traits are expressed differently in the two signs, they are still both strong communicators who can work out their differences with love and respect.

Cancer: At first glance, emotional water sign Cancer seems like a terrible fit for the exacting taskmaster Virgo. But both of these signs want nothing more than a stable, loving, well-ordered family, and both bring characteristics to the table that add up to a happy, stable life. They are both nurturers, but while Cancer is always there intuitive and open, Virgo is more about providing for the practical needs of a family.

Leo: It’s always tough to make adjacent signs work, and Leo-Virgo is no exception. Outgoing Leo wants to spend a night out dancing, not just for self-expression, but for the praise and adoration that comes with having the best moves. Virgo, meanwhile, would rather sit in a dark corner and give Leo tips to improve than praise them for their creativity on the dance floor. If Virgo can elevate their nurturing side over their critical side and Leo can accept that criticism comes from a place of love, these two can grow and thrive together.

Virgo: This is one of the best same-sign matches in the zodiac. Virgo is often misunderstood (just look at how many of these paragraphs describe difficult matches that take a lot of work), and no one gets Virgo better than another Virgo. Just think of the possibilities: bullet journals, a set bedtime, whiteboards with chores laid out, and someone who understands your love language of not just doing the dishes, but stacking them in the cabinet in the right order.

Libra: Virgo’s other adjacent sign, Libra’s tendency to be flighty and detached can be too much for Virgo’s well-ordered life. Libra is going to have to come down from the clouds eventually, and supportive, nurturing Virgo is as good a sign as any to provide a safe landing. While adjacent-sign relationships take some extra introspection and open communication, Libra-Virgo is a little easier to make work than Leo-Virgo, as the two signs have more in common: they both love art (what Libra appreciates aesthetically, Virgo likes to analyze intellectually), neat, clean surroundings, and a relaxing, stress-free home life.

Scorpio: Both Scorpio and Virgo tend to be reserved, which can make communication difficult. For Virgo, it’s because they like things a certain way. For Scorpio, it’s because they have their secrets that they need to protect. The key to this relationship is trust. That means opening up and expressing emotions honestly. When trust is lacking, the war of words between the two can lead to casualties if they aren’t careful. Scorpio knows exactly where to plant their stinger, and analytical Virgo knows exactly how to take someone apart verbally. Once trust is established, Scorpio and Virgo will find they have similar worldviews and values and can build on each other’s strengths.

Sagittarius: This is one of the most volatile, difficult pairings in the zodiac. Virgo will measure twice and cut once. Sagittarius eyeballs it and declares, “close enough.” As with the other more social signs, Virgo will find an initial spark of attraction to magnetic, intelligent Sagittarius, but might ultimately find them too adventurous and unpredictable. If Virgo is willing to accept a little spontaneity into their lives, and Sagittarius can control their restlessness and focus on details, these two can learn a lot from each other, but it’ll take some work.

Capricorn: Capricorn, the third of the zodiac’s Earth signs, is almost as good a match for Virgo as Taurus. Capricorn’s earthiness comes through in an unflappable dedication to work. This outlook complements Virgo’s more nurturing nature. These two signs might be a little too intellectual and practical, however, and will have to remember to pencil in some leisure or social time into their plans.

Aquarius: You probably know where this is going. Libra? Too aloof. Sagittarius? Too aloof. Aquarius…well, Aquarius is often so lost in their own thoughts, or down whatever Wikipedia rabbit hole they fell into today, that there’s sometimes not much room for anybody else. But in the rare cases that their obsessions happen to line up, creative Aquarius and intellectual Virgo can build something beautiful together. These two can be best friends or creative partners (Aquarius comes up with the characters and ideas, Virgo crafts the script into scenes and acts) but a marriage will require a lot more understanding.

Pisces: Unlike some of the other dreamier signs, the romantic dreamer Pisces is the perfect match for a Virgo looking to access their emotions. The reason this pairing is easier to make work than some of the other, shall we say, less grounded signs is that both are, deep down, compassionate and nurturing. Earth signs and water signs tend to work well together, and Virgo-Pisces is no exception.
