Virgos are people who are focused on organization and purification. They are orderly and rule abiding individuals. They have sky high standards for everything in their life and are the epitome of perfection. Virgos are methodical and they have strict goals and ambitions. They work hard to get what they want. Since they hold themselves to such rigorous standards, they also expect others to be absolutely impeccable. Virgos are often preachy and feel like they know more than everyone else does. They are the type of people who would rather do things themselves than let someone else try.
Virgo is the sign that motivates us to try new things and manage our lives better. As an earth sign like Taurus and Capricorn, Virgo builds on Taurus’ foundation and lays the plans for things. Ruled by Mercury, Virgos love to multitask. They have a never-ending to-do list. Though Virgos seem self-involved, they have a strong desire to serve and please other people. However, their haughty nature doesn’t stop them from being judgmental and spotting flaws in other people.
In Love
Love is challenging for Virgo because they have such high standards. Due to their critical and unforgiving nature, Virgo rarely gives anyone a chance. They don’t necessarily mean anything by their criticism, it’s just in their nature to notice everything. Though this may seem unfair, you have to remember that Virgos are equally critical of themselves. The best way to help Virgo loosen up is to make them feel needed. They won’t express themselves much through their words, but they will show their affection through their actions. Virgos might be book-smart, but they are clueless when it comes to love. They have an innocence about them and prefer to have a few strong relationships through their life.
How to Attract Virgo Men
When it comes to love, Virgo men are careful and calculated. They have a huge fear of the unknown. They need a partner who will respect his spotlessness and need for order. Virgo isn’t interested in playing games and if you’re interested in him, you need to be forthcoming. Though he may not seem outwardly romantic, inwardly, Virgo has deep sensual needs. If you want him to open up to you, you need to be patient and kind. Getting close to Virgo will take a lot of work, but if you succeed, you will have a partner for life.
How to Attract Virgo Women
At first glance, the Virgo woman will seem intimidating. She is a wise, witty, and reliable person. She needs a partner with a lot of patience and understanding. Virgo isn’t the type of woman to give in easily. To woo this woman, you need to be intelligent and sharp. You have to show Virgo that you know things she doesn’t; don’t be afraid to teach her something new. You won’t have to worry about showering Virgo with gifts because she isn’t a materialistic person. Virgo is private by nature and though she won’t say it often, she will love you truly and deeply. If you want to make things work with her, reassure Virgo that you’re not going to break her heart.
Best Match: Pisces
Pisces and Virgo will have a deeply emotional connection. These two are able to see past the other’s flaws and they can’t hide their true selves from each other. Like any relationship, this one will have its difficulties. Virgo has trust issues and Pisces won’t necessarily do anything to assuage those fears. However, when they are honest with each other, they can overcome any difficulties. Pisces and Virgo have similar interests and they stimulate each other intellectually. They communicate with ease and they can quickly jump from one topic to another during their conversations. These signs truly understand each other and in their eyes, the other is perfect. This is a relationship with great challenges, but since Pisces and Virgo are open to compromise, this pair has the greatest potential for everlasting love.
Worst Match: Sagittarius
Sagittarius and Virgo will always be at odds. Neither one of them will ever feel secure in their relationship. Someone in this pairing will always have one foot out the door. Virgo feels like Sagittarius is too thoughtless and that they never realize when they’re hurting Virgo’s feelings. In turn, Sagittarius thinks that Virgo is too demanding. There will be a lack of trust in this relationship. Sagittarius and Virgo are too stubborn and neither one of them is willing to make sacrifices for the other. Though they find each other intellectually stimulating, they can never overcome their differences to get along. Ultimately, Sagittarius and Virgo have a lack of understanding and disrespect one another.
