  1. Both the stubborn Taurus and the shy, reserved Virgo prefer to keep their friend circle small and can find it hard to open up to new people. However, once these 2 Earth signs start talking, they quickly realize they’re on the same page about their values and interests. What really makes this friendship work is that they both know you have to put in time and effort into a relationship—which comes naturally to both of them!
    • The few differences these 2 have can really complement each other. Taurus is ruled by Venus, who loves indulgence and beauty. This can help slow down and mellow out Virgo’s perfectionism and critical tendencies. [1]
    • On the flip side, Virgo is ruled by Mercury, the planet of communication. Virgo can teach Taurus how to be more curious, exacting, and help them pay attention to the details.

  1. Earth signs are extremely sensible and understand the importance of setting down a solid foundation in order to grow and succeed.

    • The grounded and sensible natures of these signs also makes them great advice givers. You might catch the pair talking for hours about the importance of saving and investing for the future, which they are happy to share with others.

  1. These 2 Earth signs are warm and giving in a friendship because they take the effort and time to maintain it. Taurus’ fixed nature means they always follow through on their plans. Virgo’s conscientiousness and exacting behavior means they honor their commitments, while their mutable nature makes them more agreeable to changes and spontaneity, unlike Taurus. [4]
    • If a Virgo and Taurus make plans—probably for a fancy dinner out followed by a cozy movie night in—they won’t flake out. In fact, they will show up exactly on time. [5]

Loyal

  1. Loyalty is huge for both Virgo and Taurus due to their shared Earth placement. The reserved Virgo and the inflexible Taurus don’t give out their friendship easily, but once you’re in their inner circle, they’re likely to be your first call in a crisis because they know how to show up. [6]
    • Taurus is generally warmer and is more likely to reach out to friends and offer a helping hand. Virgo is the more reserved one, but once you have their hard-earned trust, you have a friend for life. [7]

Potential Challenges

  1. While these signs share an Earth placement, Taurus’ fixed sign means they won’t budge on their routines while Virgo is mutable and craves change. Annoyance and tension is likely when Virgo suggests they go out on Friday night but Taurus refuses to ditch their regular sushi and reality TV binge date. [8]
    • To get along better and learn from each other, these 2 signs need to learn how to compromise. This is hard for the exacting Virgo and stubborn Taurus, but with communication and trust, they can make the friendship work.
  2. Taurus is ruled by the planet Venus, which means Taurus loves indulging in self-care, enjoying fine meals, and status symbols like designer clothes and jewelry. Virgo, on the other hand, is ruled by Mercury. They are constantly thinking and concerned about data and facts. Taurus might find Virgo too uptight and serious, while Virgo can think Taurus is superficial and lazy. [9]
    • To maintain a great friendship, Taurus and Virgo need to understand that a healthy dose of each quality can make them better. Taurus can show Virgo that it’s okay to relax and enjoy the finer things in life, while Virgo can teach Taurus a thing or 2 about using information and discipline to get what they want.
