    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] Earth signs like Virgo, on the other hand, are usually grounded, practical, and steady. [2]

    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] Unfortunately, too much flexibility can leave a relationship unbalanced (like a mutable-mutable pairing).

    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.

    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.

    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 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.

    Both signs appreciate the merits of a clear, authentic conversation. Virgo likes talking about things with focus, and taking a deeper dive into the topic at hand. Meanwhile, Sagittarius prefers having an open-minded and flexible discussion.

    Yes, Sagittarius and Virgo see the world from very different points of view. But that’s what makes their conversations so interesting! Both signs build off each other well when they communicate, as long as they’re willing to respect and listen to each other’s positions.

    These signs go on a date and sparks start to fly—but what’s next? Sagittarius is one of the least-committal signs of the zodiac, and may just be looking for something casual. Virgo, on the other hand, loves thinking ahead and may have more long-term expectations for the relationship.
    • Compatibility Tip: Sit down together and discuss how your relationship is going, and where you think the future is headed. Decide if you’re just looking for something casual, or if you’d rather commit to something more permanent.

    Sag has a real need for freedom and space, and doesn’t like to be tied down. Meanwhile, availability is really important to Virgos. Ultimately, both signs need to find a healthy way to communicate and meet in the middle so both their needs can be met.
    • Surprise Sagittarius with a weekend trip to their favorite park, lake, or campground.
    • Each week, dedicate several evenings or afternoons as “quality time” with Virgo. At this point, Sagittarius and Virgo can talk openly and honestly about how the relationship is going. Plus, Virgo will appreciate the special one-on-one time.
