Typical characteristics

People born under the sign of Virgo are incredibly reliable and reasonable. They are associated with the element of earth, which also explains their endurance and discipline. They know exactly what they want and approach every challenge in a well-organized and structured way. They constantly analyze tasks carefully so that they can prepare for them thoroughly. If Virgo has appointments, they always come on time.

Some people would call this striving perfectionism. Thus, Virgos sometimes seem too dogged, meticulous, and petty. Also, their perpetual self-criticism and very rational thinking often make them seem detached.

In general, however, they are open-minded, friendly people who love caring for others.

The Virgo in love

People born under this astrological sign are logical thinkers and do not let their emotions guide them. They have trouble opening up to their feelings and have difficulty trusting others. At the beginning of a relationship, they are usually reserved and want to maintain their image of rationality.

Even if a Virgo is conquered, they often remain hard and do not show much passion. That can sometimes make relationships with them boring.

They need a partner who not only gives them love and affection but also brings it out of them. They are particularly compatible with Taurus, Cancer, Leo, and Capricorn.

Taurus can offer Virgo a down-to-earth relationship. The characteristics of the two earth elements are very similar, so there are many commonalities. Financial security is more important to them than emotional safety.

With Cancer, an excellent partnership develops in which both can learn from each other. Although Cancer seems closed at first glance, he opens up to his confidants with devotion. That is something that Virgo still lacks, as she often cannot express her feelings due to her orderly nature. Cancer, conversely, benefits from the structure of Virgo, which he can orient himself to.

Leo can be a kind of liberation for Virgo. His openness and charm can open the door to Virgo's emotional world. Through his adventurous nature, Leo attracts Virgo, and he becomes her role model. But Virgo can also offer Leo what he demands: attention and consideration.

Capricorn is particularly dependable. He is just as dutiful, loyal, and orderly as Virgo. Both signs are somewhat reserved but come out of themselves after a certain period of time. Deep and meaningful communication is fundamental for this relationship to work.

Women and men in comparison

Women born under the sign of Virgo are very ambitious and always complete their tasks conscientiously. However, they are also very demanding and do not want to be labeled with simple tasks. They are independent and often focus on their career to secure their independence.

Men born under the sign of Virgo are reserved personalities who like to maintain control and appear calm. They have trouble allowing themselves to feel or show emotions, making it not easy to approach others. In general, however, they are very courteous and always friendly. They enjoy being a gentleman and often emphasize this with their well-groomed appearance.
