Ruled by Mercury, Virgos are practical, intelligent and analytical individuals who tend to daily routines with attention paid to service-orientation and self-care. As part of the sixth house for wellness and daily routine, "Virgos take things seriously and often pursue goals with dedication that borders on perfectionism," according to Alex Caiola of High Priestess of Brooklyn (an astrologer, psychic and founder).
Virgos can often be very sensitive, easily getting caught up in events and others' problems, which may make them susceptible to anxiety, depression and obsessive thoughts, according to Watt. While this trait can be helpful, it can also increase stress.
Astrologically speaking, Virgos tend to get along best with fellow Earth signs like Taurus and Capricorn, since these two share similar interests and can serve as each other's support system during times of difficulty, according to Newman. Both signs also tend to prioritize stability and financial security - making this relationship ideal for long-term commitments.
However, Virgos may encounter difficulty when dealing with air signs like Gemini and Aquarius; their intellectualism and directness often clash and compromise is unlikely. They may resent partners who do not respect their need for order and neatness.
Meticulous Virgos may find Leo too demanding, who enjoy being the center of attention. Their humble personalities may irritate Leo while their critical streaks may make the Lion feel constrained or controlled. Here is a look at signs that don't make ideal partners for Virgo friendship and romantic partnerships, according to astrology.
