Take it easy… don’t let the sound of your own wheels drive you crazy.
In Taurus and Virgo, we have two Earth signs, and immediately one can tell this is going to be a sensual relationship. Both of them have a good appreciation of physical needs, and they naturally enjoy activities around nature — which could be hobbies to do with pets, walking, the outdoors, or even cooking and holistic lifestyles.
Whatever it is, there is an immediate rapport because they think about life in a logical way, and they are also in touch with the need for affection and pleasure on a material level.
These two are capable of having a good romance; they certainly value similar things, and they are unlikely to initially push each other’s buttons. Virgo is ruled by Mercury, Taurus, of course, is ruled by Venus — these are fairly compatible, sociable planets that find banter easy.
Taurus have a reassuring nature which can put Virgo at ease, and Virgo begins to open up quicker than they would with other signs because Taurus’ charm breaks down their natural reserve. Plus, Taurus loves a witty, engaging partner who can make them laugh — and Virgo does that.
This relationship, however, only has a 55% chance of being successful long-term because, over the years, there are many things that can lead these two to drift apart.
In some cases, this can be a twin flame relationship.
Romantic Compatibility Between Virgo and Taurus
Where this relationship is great from the start is that they have similar interests, and both star signs are good communicators. There are generally few timing issues, and it’s likely that they will find many things they can enjoy together, fuelling a sense of happiness and joy between them.
They can be good travel companions, and this relationship works rather well long-distance because they get a lot of their romantic needs met through powerful communication.
However, what Virgo sometimes craves in romance is a partner with more drive, ambition, and leadership — and sometimes Taurus is a bit of a follower. Both, in effect, are more adapters than initiators, and that’s why the romance sometimes lacks *oomph*.
For Taurus, Virgo can be slightly evasive; their more mercurial side tends to reserve judgment, take a more nuanced view of things, and sometimes be a little bit critical. This is not to the taste of Taurus, who generally wants very definite responses.
Sometimes, romance goes off the boil simply because Virgo begins to find Taurus a little bit unadventurous, and Taurus feels Virgo isn’t quite putting in enough effort, Taurus feels their mind may be elsewhere.
Sexual Compatibility
Sexually, two Earth signs can really make a go of it. They have a large appetite for sensation, and together they may enjoy crisp linen sheets, intimacy during a thunderstorm, or perhaps even being a little bit more outrageous by having some excitement outdoors.
Together, they can combine a range of sensual, perceptive excitement into their sex life. Both of these signs are also a little bit conservative and prefer things that are natural, so it’s unlikely that they will challenge each other too much sexually.
However, sometimes Taurus are a little bit lazy — often they’re content to just have a good meal, roll over, and go to sleep — whereas Virgo tend to be more energetic and may want more from the sexual side of the relationship, and could become a little bit frustrated with Taurus over time.
So, if anyone is going to get more disinterested in the sexual side, it’s going to be Virgo, who may start thinking they’re missing out. Taurus, therefore, have to keep working hard in the bedroom.
Friendship Between Taurus and Virgo
Despite the fact that they are very similar, have needs that are broadly aligned, and values that tend to gel, this cosmic match may not always have the best friendship level. There is something about these two Sun signs where they can begin to grate on each other.
There are elements of the Taurus personality that Virgo really struggles with — that slightly more arrogant, opinionated, and egocentric side of Taurus. Plus, Virgo can often be frustrated because Taurus are also stubborn, whereas Virgo are much more flexible and want to take a more adaptable approach to life.
Virgo responds quickly to new information, whereas Taurus likes what’s tried and tested. Virgo can sometimes feel they’re being held back. Taurus, in turn, like a partner who is easy-going, and they may find Virgo rather highly strung and sometimes hard to understand.
Virgo often want their space, and they can sometimes be a little bit sharp, critical, or even abrupt, and these are traits which seriously rub Taurus the wrong way and can even bring out that Taurean temper.
Their friendship can thrive when they are both relaxed and enjoying some R&R, but if they are both stressed or overworked, and they begin exhibiting their more difficult traits, that’s when they really don’t get on at all.
Marriage and Long-Term Potential
While it’s certainly possible for these two to have a successful relationship, it requires patience from Virgo and more self-awareness from Taurus. Taurus doesn’t seem to understand, in this relationship, why things are going wrong, and Virgo won’t have the patience to explain.
During the tough times, Virgo are inclined to want to throw in the towel, and Taurus — although they won’t necessarily want to leave the relationship — can become very disheartened by Virgo when communication breaks down.
Communication in this match is strong initially due to the fact that there’s a lot of logic and reasonableness. Over time, when there are more significant emotional pressures from juggling family life and work life, other parts of their characters come to the fore.
It’s during the difficult times that Taurus become more arrogant, obstinate, and cautious, and during those same times Virgo becomes more stressed, more self-critical, more abrupt, and more likely to take offense — and this is not a good mixture at all.
So, this relationship can be quite brittle when hard times hit. During the good times, they should gel rather well, but during the bad times, it’s a relationship that has a very high stress level leading to fracturing.
The other issue in this relationship is that both are people pleasers and are likely to bottle things up. This leads to a lot of hidden anger within both of them — a snake in the grass within the relationship.
Strengths and Challenges
The strengths in this cosmic match are shared values, good communication, and enjoying the pleasures of life together. There should be a lot of fun, abundance, and brand-new experiences to share.
Another positive is that both are fairly congenial, cooperative, and they work hard at making each other happy. Both are prepared to make sacrifices for the relationship, and they tend to enjoy similar things — which is a bonding factor.
Taurus and Virgo can click in bed, and their sexual life can be very stimulating as long as they keep working on it and one doesn’t lose interest.
One of the big challenges is that both are people pleasers and not assertive enough about saying what they want. Both Zodiac Signs begin to feel that life’s passing them by, and that the relationship isn’t really delivering enough of what they want and both may feel that they’ve over-sacrificed in the relationship. It really does fall on each to be less people-pleasing and more direct.
This relationship can lack ambition and focus. Two Earth signs with Venus and Mercury influences lack a little bit of drive and ambition, and sometimes the relationship can just lose its way — both may wonder how they got where they are, but it’s because neither of them had a proper game plan.
The relationship fares very well during the good times, but during the bad times they are far more likely to become annoyed with each other and to drive each other further away by doubling down on exactly the kind of behaviours that each finds most difficult in the other.
Final Verdict
I believe that this relationship can help both partners to thrive, to grow as people, and to experience new things. It’s certainly a positive relationship during the dating phase, and it can also work well as a long-distance relationship or a relationship between colleagues.
The friendship between these two is sometimes tenuous; there are slight differences in their approach to life and their way of dealing with problems that can be annoying to each other.
There are certain characteristics that Taurus has that Virgo particularly doesn’t like — such as arrogance and ego. Plus, there are also things in the Virgo personality that Taurus really doesn’t like, namely coldness and criticism. That’s why it can become a little bit frosty between them.
There are definitely many reasons why the sexual and romantic side of this match can sustain it for a long, long time. Marriage, however, requires both to continue putting in a lot of effort and being willing to give each other space.
During tough times, both have to be willing to work on their own character flaws, because often, when they become a little stressed out, they revert to certain behaviours that make cooperation difficult.
This relationship requires both of them to be more mindful about their flaws, their strengths, and the strengths and weaknesses of the relationship in order to help make it work.
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.
Third decan Taurus get on best with Virgo and first decan Virgo get on well with Taurus.
