This fire-earth duo can make things work if they have similar priorities. Sagittarius is one of the most free-spirited and adventurous signs in the entire zodiac. Meanwhile, Virgo is one of the most careful and cautious. Although these signs often approach life in very unique ways, they can overcome their differences by having consistent, similar goals.
- For instance, both signs could be united over their desire to raise a family together.
- Fire signs like Sagittarius tend be passionate, driven, and engaging. ^{[1]

Sagittarius and Virgo are mutable signs, which makes them less compatible. Every sign has a specific modality related to their position in the zodiac—cardinal, fixed, and mutable. Typically, signs of the same modality (cardinal-cardinal, fixed-fixed, mutable-mutable) aren’t considered super compatible. This applies to Virgo and Sagittarius, which are both mutable signs. ^{[3]

- Mutable signs fall at the end of a season, and are associated with flexibility and transition. ^{[4]

Virgo and Sagittarius very much fall in the “opposites attract” category. Even if they don’t have a lot in common, these signs often have natural, undeniable chemistry when they first start talking. Depending on the couple, the relationship could get physical pretty quickly.

Sag and Virgo often have different goals in the bedroom. Fiery Sagittarius is all about turning up the heat, and likes to experiment during each lovemaking session. Rooted Virgo prefers to approach sex at a slower, steadier pace, and may have different expectations when it comes to intimacy.
- Compatibility Tip: Set some ground rules and boundaries before things get intimate. For instance, you could set a safeword before trying anything really new and adventurous in bed.

Trust doesn’t come easy in a Sagittarius-Virgo relationship. Virgo and Sag have to work hard to create a solid, trusting foundation in their relationship. As mutable signs, both Virgo and Sagittarius are ruled by a sense of transition and change, which can make it tricky to plant long-lasting, trusting roots together.
- Compatibility Tip: Give each other the benefit of the doubt, whenever possible. A restless, irritable Sag might just be craving some alone time. Meanwhile, a stressed, cranky Virgo might have a little too much on their plate for the week.

Sagittarius and Virgo don’t process or express emotions in the same way. Sagittarius tends to be pretty open about how they’re feeling—what you see is what you get. Virgo, on the other hand, isn’t quite so direct, and may have some trouble expressing their emotions.
- Compatibility Tip: Create a safe space during tense or charged situations where both partners can openly express their thoughts and feelings.
