One word to describe a relationship between Virgo and Sagittarius? Complicated. The earthy Virgin is practical, highly organized, and has everything planned out in advance, while the fiery archer does whatever they feel like in the moment. Plus, Virgos are the type to want ily, and a mortgage, while the freedom-loving Sagittarius never stays in one place too long. It’s a relationship that’s going to be quite challenging, but with enough patience, it’s one that can work. Virgo and Sagittarius’ compatibility shows what it might take for this pair to last.

“Virgo and Sagittarius is a combustible match, with expansive Sagittarius cramped in tidy Virgo’s house,” Rev. Rtina Garbis, professional astrologer and psychic, tells Bustle. “Virgo is used to managing the more mundane aspects of life, and keeping things just so, and Sagittarius, the jester of the zodiac, comes and upsets that balance.”

According to Garbis, Sagittarius is very go-with-flow. They prefer traveling with no real destination in mind, and will stop at random bars or odd roadside attractions along the way. Virgo, on the other hand, has everything planned to the very last detail. Their different approaches to traveling, and life in general, can make this a challenging relationship for both signs.

According to astrologer Jeanine Duval, mutable signs tend to be very flexible. “They encourage change in those around them and within their own lives, Duval says. They can also be a bit restless. For instance, Sagittarius hates staying in one place for too long, while Virgos are always looking for ways to grow and further themselves in their career. Read more
