Virgo Compatibility: Who Is Virgo Compatible With?

In Western astrology, Virgo is rated highest with Taurus and Capricorn (a strong match, 8 of 8 points) and lowest with Gemini and Sagittarius (a challenging match, 1 of 8). The list below ranks all eleven other signs; the same-sign pair is noted under it.

Virgo compatibility in Western astrology is settled one pair at a time, and Virgo is one of twelve signs. To check Virgo against any other sign, use the zodiac calculator. Every row of the list below opens a verdict page of its own. Virgo and Scorpio, for example, sit two signs apart, a sextile, and the full reading sits on Virgo and Scorpio compatibility. The rating reads two sun signs and nothing else.

How compatible is Virgo with each zodiac sign?

Two signs share Virgo's earth element and sit a trine away, which is where our scoring pays the most it pays. The aspect counts for more than the element, and the element for more than the modality. That leaves nine of the eleven below the top tier, so the middle of this table is where most of the reading happens. Two sextiles come next, then one opposition, then four signs a semisextile or a quincunx away, the tier the tradition reads as adjusting rather than arguing, with two squares at the foot. Two of those four sit a quincunx from Virgo, the angle astrologers read as awkward because the signs share neither element nor mode. What it means is limited by design: three traditional readings added up by us, and no forecast about anybody.

Who are Virgos a good match with?

The tradition's best match for Virgo is Taurus and Capricorn: a strong match at 8 of 8 points, same element, trine.

Our scoring puts Taurus and Capricorn level at the top for Virgo, and nothing in the tradition as we read it separates them.

• Taurus is earth, like Virgo, and sits four signs away, the aspect astrologers read as the least effortful (same element, trine).
• Capricorn scores level with Taurus and closes the earth trine (same element, trine).
• Cancer sits two signs away, a sextile, which the tradition reads as friendly rather than effortless (paired elements, sextile).
• Scorpio forms the second sextile and scores level with Cancer, because water pairs with earth in the convention our scoring follows (paired elements, sextile).

What is a Virgo not compatible with?

The lowest ratings for Virgo are Gemini and Sagittarius: a challenging match at 1 of 8, unpaired elements, square. A low rating is the tradition's reading of two sun signs, not a fact about two people.

Gemini and Sagittarius share the bottom of the list for Virgo, and one aspect explains both.

• Gemini sits three signs from Virgo, a square of 90 degrees, which astrologers read as friction (same modality, unpaired elements).
• Sagittarius makes the same angle from the other direction and stops level with Gemini (same modality, unpaired elements).
• Every sign that shares Virgo's mutable mode falls below the top tier, and the element is what splits them. Pisces is water, which pairs with earth, so it sits higher; Gemini and Sagittarius pair with neither and sit at the foot.

A rating this low is about friction in the tradition's terms, not about anyone's character. The same ranking answers the two questions readers usually ask next.

Who is the best match for a Virgo woman?

The ranking is the same for a Virgo woman, because our scoring takes two signs and has no input for gender at all. Taurus and Capricorn stay at the top. Read through the element, earth is the group astrologers tie to the practical and the useful, so the tradition's account of the earth trine is two people who show care by doing things.

Who is the best match for a Virgo man?

Taurus and Capricorn again, for the same reason: the scoring reads two sun signs and knows nothing about the people holding them. Read through the mode. Virgo is mutable, which astrologers tie to adjusting, and our scoring credits any partner of another mode. That is why a fixed sign and a cardinal sign hold the top two places here.

How is Virgo in love, friendship and marriage?

The same eleven ratings answer love, friendship and marriage, with the weighting moved each time: element for warmth, aspect for ease, modality for the part that is measured in years.

What does Virgo need in love?

Virgo needs usefulness. It is an earth sign, mutable by mode, ruled by Mercury, and astrologers read that combination as a sign that notices detail and offers help before it offers a speech. The ranking above rests on that rather than on any particular Virgo: the signs rated highest are the ones the tradition reads as glad of the attention.

Which signs are the best friends for Virgo?

Three signs keep Virgo easy company in the tradition's reading: Taurus, Capricorn and Cancer.

• Taurus and Capricorn form the earth trine, and a trine is the aspect astrologers read as the least effortful between two signs.
• Cancer sits a sextile away, which the tradition reads as friendly: water pairs with earth in the convention our scoring follows, and both signs would rather help than be thanked.

Friendship sets a lower bar than love, and a sextile clears it comfortably.

Which sign will Virgo marry?

Taurus and Capricorn are the two signs the tradition pairs with Virgo for the long run, with Cancer and Scorpio behind them. Marriage is decided on the modality: one shared mode reads as a contest, two different modes as a division of work. Virgo is mutable, so the tradition is easiest on a fixed or cardinal partner, and no page here says who anyone marries.

Virgo runs August 23 to September 22 on the dates most calendars use. A birthday on either edge can belong to the sign next door, because the Sun's entry shifts by up to a day with the year and the time zone. Every sign has a best and a worst match, and the twelve line up differently once they are set side by side. The ranking across all twelve is in the best match for every sign.
