Ruling planet: Mercury

Element: Earth

Symbol: The Virgin

Virgos are among the most kind-hearted of all the star signs. In life, a Virgo will often be drawn towards a “compassionate” field of some sort; whether as a doctor, a nurse, a social worker. They are natural givers, and will often make great personal sacrifices to help another person.

A Virgo takes matters of the heart very seriously. They tend to be delicate individuals, who can easily be mistreated in relationships, due to their giving nature. For this reason Virgos are often cautious about entering a relationship, and this can often be seen as perfectionism. They are unlikely to be interested in flings, as they are looking for something more stable and permanent. They are not particularly charismatic or flirtatious, and are in fact often quite shy, which can make it difficult for a Virgo to find someone to develop a relationship with.

When a Virgo does find someone it will very likely be someone who has the same high standards in a partner. An ideal Virgo partner will be someone who is totally loyal and trustworthy, and who respects those traits in their partner too. A solid and stable relationship, with a caring and compassionate partner is what a Virgo is most suited to; someone who will always be there if needed, and someone you can be there for in return, as both a romantic partner and as a friend. Virgos will take their time finding their dream lover, but once they have, the relationship will be almost certain to last.

A Virgo’s ideal partner will usually be Pisces, as they are very sensitive people too. Also the other Earth signs Capricorn and Taurus can both work well with a Virgo.
