Libra and Virgo

And you come to me on a summer breeze 
Keep me warm in your love, then you softly leave 
And it’s me you need to show 
How deep is your love?

What I immediately like about these two zodiac signs together is they are both reasonable, conscientious, and fairly rational star signs who like to take a logical approach to life, but who also have a strong focus on communication as a love language. 

In Virgo, we have a mutable Earth sign, and the Earth element of Virgo is very compatible with Libra because Libra is ruled by Venus, and Venus is a sensual, creative Sun sign to whom affection and love are very important. The earthy element of Virgo helps to reassure and turn on Libra, and Libra, being the sign of love, is able to shower Virgo with the gratification and validation they need.

Virgo is a mutable sign, which is highly responsive to the air aspect of Libra. As both have a certain flexibility and a rational approach, they are both able to stand back and look at things from different perspectives, which is very important to relationship cooperation and understanding. 

Now, Libra is an air sign, obviously, and Virgo is ruled by Mercury, so both of them take a fairly intellectual approach to life, like to reason things through, and really enjoy chatting and sharing anecdotes and advice. The rulers, Mercury and Venus, both like teamwork, enjoy cooperating, and can be quite reasonable; neither are prone to losing their temper or being obtuse, and this is great for cooperation. 

However, one way in which this cosmic relationship suffers from difficulty is that both are incredibly indecisive, both are mentally restless, they don’t always trust themselves, and they can be quite self-critical. That leads to a lot of doubt about choosing a partner, which they’ll see mirrored in each other. This relationship has a 65% chance of being successful. 

Romantic Compatibility 

Here we have zodiac signs that have a certain amount of chemistry when it comes to showing affection. While one of their powerful love languages together is communication and the ability to pique each other’s interest and have engaging conversations, they are also likely to be very affectionate with each other. They may enjoy doing physically stimulating dates like dancing, taking hot tubs together, or giving each other massages as foreplay. Their romance is all about creating fun, but also engaging in activities that let them both feel more body confident.

In romance, Libra likes a partner who is smart, fairly sophisticated, and is a thinker, and they will certainly find that in Virgo, as Virgo is a curious sign with a multitude of different ideas and interests that can keep Libra on their toes and guessing. 

Libra also likes a partner who is a little bit quirky and unpredictable, and as a Mercury-ruled mutable sign, Virgo is a bit of a surprise package. 

Romantically, Virgo likes a partner who is somewhat conservative and traditional in terms of romance. They want someone who is slightly serious and who is patient in getting to know them, because Virgo doesn’t like to reveal themselves upfront until they are certain they can trust. Libra has the patience and is able to reassure Virgo enough for them to open up romantically. There’s a lot going for this particular cosmic match romantically. 

Sexual Compatibility 

Virgo is a very sexual sign. They enjoy a passionate, fiery form of romance, and while Virgo may seem modest, a little reserved, or even uptight on the surface, it is in the sexual arena that they like to blow off steam, express themselves fully, and have an exciting experience. Can Libra really deliver for Virgo in the bedroom? I think, after a positive start with romance and foreplay, Virgo may find Libra a little bit tepid and not energetic enough in the bedroom. Libra can be pretty lazy and can expect their partner to do all the work. Libra is going to have to be a lot more assertive in the bedroom.

What Libra needs in the bedroom is to be indulged. They want to have a sensual experience; part of foreplay is about fine food, enjoyable experiences, and being quite comfortable. Libra desires a five-star sexual experience; they don’t like the atmosphere to be jarring or threatening. In a way, Virgo is a lot more flexible and curious sexually. Libra likes what they know, knows what they like, and subsequently they can be too conservative and pedestrian for Virgo in the bedroom. 

Friendship Factor between Libra and Virgo

Honesty is strong between these two star signs, as they both like to tell it how it is. Neither suffer fools gladly, and both can be a little bit critical. Now, Libra is known as the diplomat, but in another way, Libra doesn’t mince their words, and they can sometimes be quite direct. Virgo is very similar, actually as they like to call a spade a shovel. So in this friendship, we have people who give each other advice and tell each other what they really think, and that can be the basis for a very honest and sincere friendship.

However, sometimes they trigger each other. While in theory, they like to hear the truth, in practice, both of them can be a little bit sensitive and defensive over certain issues. For this friendship to be strong, they have to be aware of where each other’s red lines are and then to tread carefully, because in some areas they can go ahead and be brutally honest, in others they have to hold back. 

Both these zodiac signs can take life quite seriously and often need to be with people who have strong, confident leadership abilities and a more daring approach to life to counteract the fact that these two can be very indecisive and often hold themselves in check due to doubts. 

They do need some time apart to be with other people who are a little bit more confident and gung-ho, so that they both don’t get too bound up in overthinking and analysis. 

Long-Term Potential and Marriage 

This star sign match can definitely secure for themselves a powerful marriage based on strong, unspoken understanding and shared goals. 

Financially, they can become very successful and prosperous together. They make good marriage partners and can work well together, even in a business partnership or in a similar industry. They are both signs who like to “talk shop,” so chatting about their various careers, business ventures, or money goals can be a stimulating side of the relationship.

Both are reasonable and have strong problem-solving skills. A positive aspect of their relationship is that they will be very responsive to each other’s ideas and advice, and they’ll work hard together at resolving difficulties and communicating in a successful way. Once they’re in a relationship, both will really strive hard to make it work. 

However, Libra often feels insecure. They don’t sense that Virgo is fully committed, and sometimes they don’t feel secure enough with Virgo because Virgo is not a particularly bold or pioneering sign. Libra can begin to feel that the relationship is stagnating, and they could begin to spend more time with other friends or on social media rather than focusing on each other. 

Virgo may feel that Libra lacks empathy and doesn’t give them enough emotional attention. Virgo can feel a little bit emotionally neglected, and they may go looking elsewhere to get the validation they’re not receiving in the relationship. 

Strengths and Challenges of This Relationship 

Strong communication, honesty, and sincerity mean this is a zodiac match that helps both partners express themselves, feel understood, and resolve difficulties. These are mentally restless people who need constant stimulation, and they can thrive in business together or by doing social activities as a team. However, this certainly is a star sign combination that needs to be busy and it can be more difficult for retired couples who don’t have a lot on the go, because when they get bored, they tend to bicker or nitpick.

Romantically, they are very suited simply because they communicate well and gratify each other through being generous with their affections, and there’s quite strong chemistry too. They can both feel quite happy with themselves, grow in confidence, and feel very comfortable with each other. Physical communication can take place through body language, as they both pick up subtle signals from each other, so there is rather a good intuitive understanding. 

On the downside, sexually, there is a mismatch. Libra can be too lackluster or pedestrian for Virgo. Libra may not really understand the powerful responses Virgo needs, and they may underestimate the amount of sexual adventure Virgo would like to have. So Libra really has to be more assertive and creative sexually, and Virgo has to let Libra know what they want. 

Both zodiac signs can make too many assumptions as they think they know each other better than they really do, and that can lead to misunderstandings. Misunderstandings inevitably lead to hurt feelings and mistrust, so they do need to be more careful to abide by each other’s red lines, because both are very unforgiving when they feel disrespected. 

In this relationship, Libra is the one who is likely to have doubts and to feel that they can’t really rely upon Virgo during difficult times. Libra may wish for a slightly more dynamic, courageous partner. Virgo can sometimes feel that Libra is too prescriptive and controlling. Virgo may want a partner who’s more flexible, laid-back, and responds to their emotions with more empathy. 

Final Verdict 

This astrology combination has a 65% chance of being successful. There are many reasons why these two star signs get on effectively. They are both signs that are good at putting aside emotions and ego and being reasonable and cooperative when the chips are down. They communicate well, they cooperate, and they both enjoy finding pragmatic solutions. 

Sometimes the relationship lacks a dose emotion and fire. It’s strong on communication; there’s a lot of physical affection, and that’s all very good, but the relationship may lack direction. They are both fairly indecisive signs, they can suffer from lower confidence in their own decisions, and often they have more questions than answers, which leaves both of them feeling a little insecure. 

AstroLove | Libra and Virgo

Virgo is a slightly more adventurous sign, both in the bedroom and in life, whereas Libra is more interested in harmony and consistency, and they are prepared to forego adventure. Virgo may feel slightly held back in this relationship, and Libra may feel not fully content in terms of getting the ardent responses of love that they desire. 

So, while this is a workable relationship that can absolutely survive and thrive, there may be a sense that there’s something missing. It is important that they have friends and family members with whom they can get what they’re missing in this matchup.

Second decan Virgo is better with Libra; third decan Libra is better with Virgo. 

Any star sign match is, of course, modified greatly by the Ascendant, Moon, and Venus signs — which will give more bearing on affectionate, sexual, and spiritual compatibility.
