Virgo & Sagittarius Zodiac Compatibility, According To Astrologers

Are Virgo & Sagittarius Compatible In A Relationship?

One word to describe a relationship between Virgo and Sagittarius? Complicated. The earthy Virgin is practical, highly organized, and has everything planned out in advance, while the fiery archer does whatever they feel like in the moment. Plus, Virgos are the type to want marriage, family, and a mortgage, while the freedom-loving Sagittarius never stays in one place too long. It’s a relationship that’s going to be quite challenging, but with enough patience, it’s one that can work. Virgo and Sagittarius’ compatibility shows what it might take for this pair to last.

“Virgo and Sagittarius is a combustible match, with expansive Sagittarius cramped in tidy Virgo’s house,” Rev. Rtina Garbis, professional astrologer and psychic, tells Bustle. “Virgo is used to managing the more mundane aspects of life, and keeping things just so, and Sagittarius, the jester of the zodiac, comes and upsets that balance.”

Both signs enjoy being active and can bond through their shared love of traveling and exploring. However, they tend go about those hobbies in very different ways. According to Garbis, Sagittarius is very go-with-flow. They prefer traveling with no real destination in mind, and will stop at random bars or odd roadside attractions along the way. Virgo, on the other hand, has everything planned to the very last detail. Their different approaches to traveling, and life in general, can make this a challenging relationship for both signs.

Although Virgo and Sagittarius may not have a ton in common, they represent two of the four mutable signs in the zodiac. According to astrologer Jeanine Duval, mutable signs tend to be very flexible. “They encourage change in those around them and within their own lives, Duval says. They can also be a bit restless. For instance, Sagittarius hates staying in one place for too long, while Virgos are always looking for ways to grow and further themselves in their career. Clashes between these two are inevitable, but due to their mutable nature, compromise should never be out of reach.

Virgo & Sagittarius’ Sexual Compatibility

When it comes to physical intimacy, Virgo and Sagittarius don’t make a great match. According to Duval, the fiery archer is passionate, fun, and can laugh through awkward moments and embarrassing bedroom mishaps. Perfectionist Virgo, on the other hand, is a total over-thinker. Although they’re definitely not conservative in bed, they like to do things on their own terms, and only when they’re feeling confident and ready. “The pushiness of Sagittarius may be a complete turn off for Virgo,” Duval says. “On the flip side, the fiery energy in the bedroom might make the earthy Virgo uncomfortable.”

Both Virgo and Sagittarius are willing to experiment in bed, so that’s one area where they’re compatible. However, it will take some time for Virgo to fully open up and express their inner sexual desires to their partner, and again, any pushiness will turn them off. But once trust is established, these two can have a good time together.

Virgo & Sagittarius’ Emotional Compatibility

Initially, Virgo and Sagittarius will be good to each other. According to Garbis, Virgo will do anything for Sagittarius, and Sagittarius will be a generous and affectionate partner in return. They’ll enjoy getting to know each other, likely bonding over long discussions about life, current events, and past experiences. Virgo will love hearing about Sagittarius’ many wild adventures, and Sagittarius will appreciate having someone who is genuinely interested in hearing about them.

However, these two will soon find that they want different things in a relationship. Virgo wants a partner who’ll call when they say they will, show up on time, and will be there for them when they need them. Although Sagittarius isn’t known for being flaky, they’re busy doing their own thing. They’ll be here one weekend and gone the next. Sometimes, their partner won’t even realize until they get a “miss you” text with a photo attached. Sagittarius is also the type to brush things off with a joke, which can come off as insensitive. If Virgo doesn’t feel like their partner cares about their feelings, they won’t feel truly secure in their relationship and won’t open up emotionally.

Once Virgo starts acting cold towards Sagittarius, the archer won’t hesitate to leave. To them, relationships should be warm and satisfying, not emotionally draining. If they feel like they’re being weighed down in any way, they may move on.

Virgo & Sagittarius’ Communication

Due to their major personality differences, Virgo and Sagittarius are the type of couple who’ll disagree about almost everything. According to Garbis, they’ll fight over staying in or going out, who their friends are, what they want for dinner, and where the relationship is headed, among other things.

“Virgo will always think Sagittarius is somehow out to get them, while Sagittarius will always complain that Virgo doesn’t like to have a good time or that they’re trying to hold them back,” Garbis says. “Their best bet would be to learn how to compromise, but compromising is something neither of them excels at. They both like to have their way. Virgo loves to control and Sagittarius despises that.”

Virgo & Sagittarius’ Dating Compatibility

Virgo and Sagittarius’ dating compatibility isn’t the best. Sagittarius needs space and freedom to be happy. They’re very spontaneous and will sometimes leave on a moment’s notice to go off on a new adventure, and Virgo needs a partner who can offer much more stability than that. Virgos are cautious by nature, and Sagittarius’ personality will raise red flags from the get go.

“When dating, Sagittarius is the type that likes to go out, dance, and maybe even flirt with all the bartenders while Virgo prefers a nice quiet coffee date with all eyes on their partner,” Garbis says. “Virgo can very quickly become jealous over their Sagittarian flirt and Sagittarius will quickly shrug off any attempts that Virgo has to calm them down.”

Virgo wants to be respected and won’t hang around someone who outwardly flirts with everyone, even if it doesn’t mean anything. Sagittarius will get turned off by Virgo’s lack of a sense of humor and attempts to “control” them, and may cut the date short or reconsider the relationship.

“When signs are squared like Virgo and Sagittarius, they tend to bump heads and are rarely able to see the other person’s point of view or can see the other person’s point of view but just doesn’t care,” Garbis says. These two have to find something they really connect on in order to make it to a second date.

Virgo & Sagittarius’ Friendship Compatibility

When it comes to friendship, Virgo and Sagittarius’ compatibility is actually OK. According to Garbis, Virgo would always be the voice of reason, while Sagittarius will try to help Virgo loosen up. They’ll expand each other’s horizons and help push each other to do things they normally wouldn’t. Virgo is also good at taking care of their friends, which Sagittarius appreciates. In turn, Sagittarius always knows how to cheer Virgo up when they’re going through a rough time. Since they’re not in a romantic relationship and there’s less at stake, both signs can easily let each other’s antics slide.

Potential Problems In A Virgo & Sagittarius Relationship

The Virgin and the archer make a challenging match because they have different ideas of what a relationship should look like. According to Garbis, they just want different things. “Virgo thinks that Sagittarius should drop everything and be with them, and that is just not Sag’s nature,” she says. Sagittarius wants to explore, while Virgo wants to settle. This is going to be the root of many issues this couple will have. If Virgo constantly pushes for more time spent together, Sagittarius will respond by pulling away.

Communication styles may pose another problem area for this pair. “These two can definitely bicker, and it always ends with Sag taking off,” Garbis says. Although Virgos don’t mind constructive criticism, Sagittarius’ penchant for brutal honesty may come off hurtful, and secretly sensitive Virgo may internalize their partner’s harsh comments. On the other hand, Virgo’s well-meaning attempts at helping their partner might seem like nagging to Sagittarius — the one thing they hate most about being in a relationship.

Are Virgo & Sagittarius A Good Match?

Overall, Virgo and Sagittarius are considered to be an incompatible zodiac match. They’ll have great conversations and can develop a nice friendship, but, making a romantic relationship work will be pretty tough. At the end of the day, Virgo wants stability, and Sagittarius loves being free. They’ll have to work hard at finding a middle ground if they want their relationship to last.
