Virgo’s Most Compatible Signs

1
Virgos are most compatible with their fellow earth signs. Tauruses, Capricorns, and yes, Virgos, understand the hard-working, goal-oriented nature of a Virgo. Two earth signs in a partnership will lift each other up and push each other toward their goals. When you picture a Virgo with another earth sign, you might think of a power couple who never stops striving toward what they want.^{[9]

- Taurus: Virgos and Tauruses share a lot of the same values and morals. They’re both a little old-fashioned, so you might find them in a traditional romance rather than a modern fling. These 2 signs are solid and dependable, so they know they can always count on each other.
- Capricorn: Virgos and Capricorns are both goal-oriented and driven. A Capricorn might be the only sign that is more of a perfectionist than Virgo is! Both signs like to take things slow, but once they get comfortable with each other, they can form a deep, lasting connection.
- Virgo: Virgos look for partners who are naturally curious like them. When 2 Virgos get together, their connection is instant: they’ll love that they can learn new things every day with each other.

Virgos may be drawn to a Pisces’ sensitive, dreamy nature. Ever heard the phrase “opposites attract”? With this partnership, that’s definitely true. As a water sign, a Pisces can help the Virgo take a step back and relax. These two signs complement each other well, because they’re both easy going and playful.^{[10]

- Plus, Pisces tend to be a little less self-critical. They help remind the Virgo that their failures are just speed bumps in the road to success.

Sensitive Cancers help Virgos express their emotions. Cancers are also known as one of the most helpful signs, and Virgos respect that a lot. Plus, these signs love simplicity, stability, and security. Cancer loves how goal-oriented the Virgo is, and the Virgo appreciates Cancer’s ability to plan ahead.^{[11]

A Scorpio’s natural intelligence is a big draw for Virgos. Both of these signs are natural learners, and they never stop being curious. You might see this pairing spending an afternoon at the library or having a lively debate about a new subject. The two signs can put their heads together and achieve their goals with a little help from the other person.^{[12]
