Problems

1
A Sagittarius woman struggles with long-term commitment. Her natural inclination is to run and explore the world, and she doesn’t like the idea of being tethered to one place (or to one person). A Virgo man is more likely to commit and prefers more stability in his life than she can provide unless she makes compromises for the sake of the relationship.
- A Sagittarius woman’s phobia of settling down plus her flirtatiousness and indecision make her more likely to cheat on her Virgo man than vice versa.
- Virgo men are slower to commit than other earth sign men because of their perfectionism—they can never stop seeing flaws in the relationship.
- Their mutable signs make these two restless. A Sagittarius's restlessness manifests as a need for freedom, while Virgo’s looks like perfectionism.
2
A Virgo man and Sagittarius woman struggle to work together. They approach tasks from two different extremes. He will keep at something until he’s fixed it inside and out and knows everything about it, while she will leave out details because she rushed through something just to get it done. Both styles can be roadblocks to accomplishing things efficiently, and the two are likely to get heated with each other when their ideologies conflict.
- Both partners need to recognize what “good enough” is. It’s usually below Virgo’s standards and well above Sagittarius’s.
- They may struggle to divide responsibilities evenly. Virgo will probably stay home taking care of daily tasks while Sagittarius goes out exploring.
