Virgo and Sagittarius

Virgo and Sagittarius Compatibility

Virgo Sagittarius can be a very solid combination on the surface, however some major differences exist underneath which can be challenging.

The low scores represent this initial compatibility issue. However, if you can both adapt to the others style this is a relationship which will improve steadily over time, and eventually rival any other combination.

This article is in two halves, the first is written from the viewpoint of the Virgo man or Virgo woman, and the second is written from the viewpoint of the Sagittarius man or Sagittarius woman.

From the Virgo viewpoint

Intellectually this is a fantastic combination of two fast and clever minds - conversation between you will never be dull. Both of you are analytical rather than emotional, and you are both good communicators, preferring a rational and objective style.

You're both highly independent and can be wary of commitment with the wrong person. You're both very adaptable and open minded. It's likely you did very well on a friendships or casual level, and in many respects this is a relationship which will probably do great until you live together. Once you start living together however your differences will start to become a lot more apparent...

You're cautious and reserved, while your partner is outgoing, adventurous, spontaneous and passionate. While you'll certainly admire these traits, you may feel they're overall too much of an extravert to handle very easily or become very comfortable with.

You like to be productive, while your Sagittarius is much more carefree. One significant difference in this relationship will be this conflicting interest in work versus play. You will likely come to consider your partner as reckless or irresponsible, and they'll consider you to be too serious, a stick in the mud or even a workaholic. Sagittarius is often a fairly studious sign however, and you will approve of any ongoing education.

You're inclined to be a pessimist by nature, while your partner is quite likely to be optimistic to the point of recklessness. You may wonder how they achieve the results they do, seemingly without a care in the world. You can learn a lot in this direction.

You're reclusive and often quiet, while your Sagittarius is more sociable and talkative. You'll probably consider them to be flirtatious at times, and in general you may feel insecure in this relationship due to this.

You tend to be fairly reserved when it comes to expressing love and affection, either verbally or physically, while your partner is very open, direct and blunt. Try to open up as much as possible with this partner, and avoid being too critical. Don't be offended by what they say, Sagittarians are renowned for being very direct and offensive sometimes!

Financially you may come to find your partner somewhat extravagant, and not inclined to save money, which may become a point of contention if the area is particularly important to you.

Most of these differences are no bad thing for either of you, if you can just meet in the middle somewhere. Of course that's easier said than done, when this is a partner who will consistently fray your nerves with their impulsive, erratic and reckless approach to life.

These fundamental differences can make the relationship unsatisfying for both of you unless you each take the time to understand your partner and respect each others needs and viewpoints. Doing so will often expose you to new experiences you'll enjoy, so it's not nearly as self sacrificing as it might sound.

It’s important to note however that we’re looking only at sun signs here. There are many other planets which can have an equal or greater effect on someones personality. Makes sense, as ultimately everyone is of course unique. Generalizing too far based just on sun signs can therefore be misleading.

To fully understand someone or how compatible you are with them we need to calculate those other planet placements from their date of birth, and compare them to your own, and then interpret the results.

This unlocks the real power of astrology, and gives much more useful and specific information – everything from how they view you, how to turn them on, how to avoid arguments etc. If you would like to explore this further please see the astrology compatibility reports page.

From the Sagittarius viewpoint

Sagittarius and Virgo Compatibility

Intellectually this is a fantastic combination of two fast and clever minds - conversation between you will never be dull. Both of you are analytical rather than emotional, and you are both good communicators, preferring a rational and objective style.

You're both highly independent and wary of commitment, and you're both very adaptable and open minded.

You're very outgoing, adventurous and spontaneous, while your partner is likely to be the complete opposite - quiet, reserved and meticulous. While you'll appreciate their practicality and grounding effect it's very likely you'll find them boring and timid before very long.

You tend not to worry about very much, always remaining optimistic and confident that the future will take care of itself. Meanwhile, your Virgo is a natural worrier, and leans towards being conservative and pessimistic when in doubt.

Financially you may come under fire from this partner, who believes in strict self discipline in the area of finances. Your spontaneous purchases wont be appreciated, and may soon become a source of friction. On the bright side, this a partner who would probably be happy to organize your finances for you (hint!)

You tend to be very open with feelings, comments, acts of affection etc, while your Virgo is very reserved when it comes to expressing love and affection, either verbally or physically.

One significant difference in this relationship will be your conflicting priorities between work versus play. Virgo needs to be productive most of the time, and this may strike you as very unnatural and obsessive. Similarly, your partner may consider you to be very reckless or irresponsible. As in other areas if you meet in the middle you can both benefit.

You're sociable and talkative, while your partner is much more reserved, quiet and often reclusive. It's likely you'll come to think of them as a stick in the mud sometimes, while making them very insecure.

Overall you're likely to find this partner intellectually stimulating, but otherwise too dull and meticulous for your taste at times. Without a high level of understanding and respect for each others needs and viewpoints one or both of you may soon feel like the relationship is 'just too much work'.

Sexually you may find this partner to be very exciting initially (or enjoy corrupting them a little if they're not). As with other areas of the relationship this may turn into boredom in the longer term unless you both make an effort to stay on the same page.

Summary

So is this article conclusive?

No! This article is based only on sun sign interaction. In order to provide a lot of people with information it's a convenient and fast way to generalize, but it's far from conclusive at this broad level.

To get a complete picture we need to take all the other planets and their interactions into account. If you would like more information for your unique relationship please see the astrology compatibility reports page.

Other resources

Often the hardest questions to ask are the most important - for example, what are their views and expectations for raising children? sharing housework? saving money? career goals? etc.

One subtle and fun way to approach this is by working through a couples question book together - that way it's not really you asking, and delicate subjects can be covered easily. The best book for this I've found is Michael Webb's 1000 Questions For Couples

For reviews of this and other relationship ebooks on subjects ranging from improving your sex life to getting an ex back please see the relationship ebook reviews page.

A third method of further research is to share experiences with other couples of this same sign combination - you may be amazed how consistent they often are. Please see the links below for visitor experiences and questions.

In any relationship there are also very significant external factors. One of these is how well you understand yourself, your partner and your partnership - the more you do, the easier it is to make the relationship more exciting, fulfilling and satisfying for both of you, regardless of your starting position. The articles on how to Make him fall in love with you and Make her fall in love with you have information on how you can use astrology to revitalize a relationship.
