Virgo Compatibility: Your Best and Worst Zodiac Matches, Ranked

Hi Virgos, you analytical geniuses, you self-sacrificing saints of the zodiac. I see you and your contributions, and I won’t make too big of a fuss, because I know it will trigger major imposter syndrome, even though no one is more real than you. To reward you for all your hard work, I, an astrologer, have compiled my rankings for the most compatible signs in the zodiac for you.

Virgo’s superpowers rest in the zodiac sign’s knack for the analytical. (Think Sherlock Holmes.) No detail escapes them, from the crumbs on your sweater after you’ve chomped your favorite cookie to the way you smile when you’re in love. They’re reliable, pragmatic and structure—all hallmarks of the earth sign—which make Virgos great people to turn to for advice, honest opinions and help with complicated and convoluted tasks. (Read: taxes.) This sign is, however, prone to imposter syndrome and a deep desire for order, often needing a reminder that life is messy.

In relationships, Leos love to champion and be championed by their partners. But while Virgos are incredibly supportive, they are not cheerleaders—no way, no how. A Virgo wears no rose-colored glasses; they see their partner’s flaws in HD. But even though a Virgo only criticizes because they care (seriously!), a Leo thrives on enthusiasm and optimism. For these two to truly believe in each other, it will take more than a leap of faith.

While these two are technically both high energy (Aries in their body, Virgo in their mind), Virgo is tripping over every detail like it’s an SAT question (“If the reservation was at 6:45, and it started raining approximately 15 minutes ago, then my probability models say we’ll never catch a cab, and dinner is futile!”), while Aries wants to Hulk-smash any obstacle in their way, often without a ton of forethought (maybe running to the restaurant without an umbrella was…unwise).

The refined Libra is all lightness and romance, and Virgos are like, “but I have to do the dishes.” It’s hard to power an epic love odyssey when someone is constantly reminding you that they need someone (ahem) to snake the drain in the bathtub (but really, the water is building up). It’s not that the Libra is unrealistic or unwilling to work, but they want to enjoy their love story uninterrupted by life’s little messes. Unfortunately the Virgo knows better—life’s little messes always find a way.

The opposite sign of a Virgo, these two are ever-locked in attraction…and frustration. Virgos are hyper-realistic, so the dreamy logic of a Pisces may baffle a Virgo, and a Virgo’s harsh feedback might cut a little too deeply for the sensitive Pisces (“I’m sorry I implied that Google search was smarter than you!”). But these two are some of the most devoted, thoughtful, detail-oriented people, and if they can get the balance right between emotion and reason, it’s an epic match.

Trust me when I say the witty banter between this two is fire. Virgos have one of the greatest gifts for language in the zodiac. These two know how to communicate to get things done, and they’d sweep the floor with any other zodiac pairing in a race to build an IKEA desk together. When two Virgos communicate, it’s not just about getting to know each other, but also about moving forward through life as a team. Together, they are an unstoppable force (especially when it comes to assembling IKEA furniture!).

Capricorns and Virgos both appreciate competence, and these are two of the most capable signs in the zodiac. For a Virgo, an organized sock drawer might be more romantic than a bouquet of pink roses (although both is best...), and a Capricorn’s efficiency is a serious turn-on (yes, chores can be sexy). But it's not just work with these two. When they are in love, they devote all their talents to the relationship. And like everything else they do, the results are excellent.

Virgos love to serve, and Tauruses love to be served. But what makes this match more than one-sided is that the Taurus will protect and nurture their own like a mob boss (but, like, a sweet one), and the Virgo secretly loves being adored (but at home, where it’s safe). These two will cherish each other and never get sick of doing it (aww).
