Virgo and Sagittarius compatibility

Are Virgo and Sagittarius a good match?

Tradition calls it a hard match. Plenty of long loves are built on it, because neither of you gets to fall asleep.

I will not hand you a percentage. A number like that is invented, and a Sun sign is one line of a long letter. Two people of any signs can love each other well.

What draws you together

You are both seekers of a kind, and you are both adapters. Virgo wants to get it right, Sagittarius wants to know what it all means, and each has something the other could use.

The hard part

Virgo sees the mess Sagittarius left behind. Sagittarius sees a narrow life it does not want. One of you may start to feel like a supervisor, and the other like a child.

How your signs sit on the wheel

You sit three signs apart, a ninety-degree angle astrologers call a square. You move through the world the same way, but in elements that do not agree. Tradition names this friction, and friction is also how a fire gets lit.

Fire and earth want different things from a day. Fire wants to go and earth wants to have arrived. Fire can warm the ground or scorch it, and earth can hold a flame or smother it.

You are both adapters. You bend around each other gracefully, and it is possible for neither of you ever to say what you actually want.

What each of you is really asking

Virgo is asking: Could you love me on a day I do it wrong? Virgo brings devotion in small things and fears being found lacking.

Sagittarius is asking: Can I love you and keep the horizon? Sagittarius brings faith and fears being fenced in.

The desire under the question

Sagittarius wants not to be corrected. Virgo wants not to be left holding everything. Those are both reasonable things to ask out loud.
