There is so much more to Virgo than what meets the eye. Mainstream astrology speaks of Virgo as reserved, shy, timid and prudish. They may seem that way at first glance, but once you get to know this earth sign, you will find that they are actually very sensual, sexy and open-hearted. All you need is a little patience and time to get to know them.
The other great thing about Virgo is that they are generally looking for someone for the long term. They are not really the informal type, and ‘situations’ only stress them out. So if you are looking for the same, then you will find your perfect match in Virgo. They also tend to treat the people they care about very kindly and will go out of their way to make you feel loved and special through selfless service. You’ve definitely found a rare gem when you date a Virgo!
Curious about more? Here’s an overview of what it’s like to be with this unique zodiac sign:
Dating a Virgo
Virgos tend to take it easy when it comes to dating. They like the slow burn that comes with getting to know them, and they often enjoy figuring you out before jumping in. For a Virgo, the two most important ingredients for a long-term relationship are intellectual connection and chemistry. If you can have a long, interesting and intelligent conversation followed by a sexy make-out session, you will have your Virgo’s heart forever.
The dates themselves, if arranged by a Virgo, will likely be set in nature with a delicious, nutritious picnic or at their favorite top restaurant. Like all earth signs, Virgos simply love food, so expect your senses to be blown away. They also value quality, so you rarely have to worry about a third-rate experience. Keep in mind that if you’re the one arranging the date, you also need to be on your toes and make sure every detail is taken care of – you’ll make your Virgo feel so special.
Communicating with a Virgo
Even though Virgo is technically an earth sign, because they are ruled by the communication planet Mercury, they also have an intellectual side. Talking and sharing ideas and opinions is something that gives Virgos immense satisfaction, and if you can keep up with them, they will fall so in love that they will never let you go.
However, keep in mind that your Virgo will likely correct you quite often and point out any flaws in your thinking. This means they can be a bit critical and fault-finding, which can exhaust you. Yet they always come from a good place, even if it sometimes seems a bit like teaching. Don’t be afraid to challenge their thinking – your Virgo is much more flexible than you think. Reach out often via text – they love to chat, whatever the medium.
How a Virgo shows their love
Your Virgo’s ‘Love Language’ is Service. So while this may not be the most romantic of all the zodiac signs, there are little things Virgo does to show you how loved you really are. This can be as small as doing the dishes or taking your car for maintenance. If your Virgo does little things like this, it’s important to notice. They say ‘I love you’ in a practical way.
Touch is also a must for Virgo, so if you notice them holding your hand, kissing, hugging and cuddling, it’s a strong sign of how they’re feeling. Physical affection – including in the bedroom – is also a love language for Virgo.
What turns a Virgo off
The honest truth is that there are a lot of things that turn off a Virgo. They have high standards, so be prepared. Often it’s not even your fault/problem – it’s their own problems that they have to take control of. For example, your Virgo may complain about dirty dishes being left in the sink or his shirts not being folded exactly the way he wants. They get angry if you mess up their color-coded book library or put the coffee back in the wrong place. These little things are important to Virgo.
A big turn-off is also someone who does not act with class and dignity, who does not take care of themselves physically or is very unhealthy. They take care of themselves and expect the same self-respect from their partner. If they walk into your home and find clutter, chaos and dirt, expect them to walk out straight away – they just can’t handle it. Sometimes you may feel like you’re jumping through hoops to keep your Virgo happy, but at the same time, it’s so worth it.
Strengths of Virgo
Virgos have an absolute heart of pure gold. Although they can sometimes come across as nitpicky and critical, Virgo is also extremely kind-hearted and caring. They do everything they can to give you the best possible advice. They really want to help you become a better person and live a more fulfilling life. You can always count on your Virgo to help you when you need it most – especially practical support. They will be the one to do your shopping, do your paperwork and take care of the everyday things so you don’t have to.
Furthermore, Virgos tend to be extremely wise and insightful. They can quickly get to the heart of a problem and know exactly what to do to solve the problem. They like that they can be relied on to take care of these things, so don’t hesitate to put tasks on their plate; they love to feel useful to you. One of their strongest points is that they are ultra-organized, so let them take care of all the details while you sit back and relax.
Weaknesses of Virgo
The same qualities that make Virgo stand out are also the qualities that bring them down. For example, that organizational skill and ability can become controlling and rigid. This can make it difficult to live side by side with your Virgo. They tend to get very stressed over the smallest things, and their goal is to overthink everything. When they start that journey, it can become frustrating for you because they will nitpick over the smallest of issues. This is usually because sometimes the big things just seem to overwhelm. What can you do to help? Well, it’s important to reassure Virgo that they are doing their very best, and to encourage them not to be too hard on themselves. This is a sign that can really beat themselves up. Compassion is something Virgo needs, both from within and from you. Encouraging them to see the bigger picture will also be a huge help to Virgo.
Most Compatible Signs with Virgo
One of the most surprisingly compatible signs for Virgo is Aquarius. You may have heard that air and earth signs don’t go well together, but these two are the exception. The reason for this is because they are both so incredibly intellectual and smart. Conversations between Virgo and Aquarius are always interesting and full of insights. Granted, they both think they know best, but generally they find a way to see eye to eye. The other earth signs – Taurus and Capricorn – are also very compatible with Virgo. Capricorn is an especially good sign paired with Virgo, especially because these signs share a strong work ethic and are very goal-oriented, structured planners. They just have similar values and goals in life, which makes it easy. Cancer, a water sign, is also very compatible with Virgo, as both signs are home-oriented and love the idea of starting a family together.
Least compatible signs with Virgo
If there’s one sign that drives Virgo crazy, it would have to be Aries. Aries is extremely spontaneous and loves to take risks, while that would probably be the worst thing you could ever do thanks to a Virgo. Being with Aries will only increase their blood pressure and cause the sensitive Virgo more stress. Of course, there can be a balance between risk and planning, but achieving that balance will not be easy. Sagittarius is also not easy to combine with Virgo for almost the same reasons as Aries. Too much planning, structure, and organization is only likely to make Sagittarius feel pinned down and claustrophobic. Too many unplanned activities make Virgo feel out of control. There is a lot to learn from each other, but it will take hard work. Finally, although Gemini and Virgo may get along well intellectually, there will undoubtedly be arguments about who is right and who is wrong, and perhaps a little too much focus on the intellectual side of their relationship.
