There’s no relationship on the zodiac that fares worse than a Virgo and a Libra. While they can make good friends, their signs make their romance go awry.
What’s the Basic Run-down of a Virgo and Libra Relationship?
The Virgo is a Healer while a Libra’s an Idealist. They’re both gentle and unassuming folks who keep a calm misdemeanor when situations get testy. Virgos can make a Libra see the common sense in their daily life while a Libra can draw out the romantic side of an otherwise stoic Virgo.
On the offset, a Virgo and Libra will make great friends. The Healer will find the Libra’s idealistic notions of the world entertaining. The Libra will need the Virgo’s soothing words when the judicious Libra grows weary of the world’s injustices. The Libra and Virgo will find themselves immensely attracted to other person’s characteristics not seen in themselves.
The biggest issue that will arise in a Virgo and Libra relationship is that both parties want to change the other. Libras tend to see the world with rose-colored glasses and often fail to see blatant issues in front of them. The healing Virgo will want to ground the Libra’s perception of the world into something more sensical.
The Virgo is a perfectionist. While capable of being soothing and subtle, a Virgo will nonetheless try to improve the Libra’s attitude, perspective, and even behavior. The Libra likes living in a state of flux and doesn’t like consistency. The Virgo’s quest for improvement will drain the Libra.
The Libra will grow tired of the Virgo’s judgmental nature and try to get the Virgo to see both sides of the coin. The Libra’s indecision comes from their need to thoroughly examine all positives and negatives of a certain issue. They’ll grow frustrated when their Virgo partner can’t do the same for them.
While compatible friends, the Libra and Virgo relationship end quicker than it started because of both parties trying to “fix” the other.
What Do a Virgo and Libra Have in Common?
Both see an innate sense of fairness. Neither will stand for injustice or let a malicious action go unpunished or tolerated.
A Libra and Virgo have a great sense of fashion. They like aesthetically pleasing things, and so they make themselves the pinnacle of crisp, attractive fashion.
Both enjoy conversation and intellectual stimulation. Virgos and Libras hate when people are boring or only talk about themselves. To a Virgo or Libra, a conversation either lets all speakers get to know each other better or improve their understanding of an interesting subject.
Once devoted to their partner, neither a Virgo nor a Libra will be unfaithful. They value commitment and monogamy, finding themselves only thinking about or attracted to their partner.
Lastly, a Virgo and Libra both enjoy having a wide group of friends. Since Virgos and Libras tend to be independent people, they keep their social circles alive while in a relationship. Both find it healthy to have stimulating connections outside of their romantic partner.
How Do a Virgo and Libra Differ?
A Virgo enjoys solitude while a Libra finds it hard to be alone. Virgos can go days entertaining themselves while such isolation would drive the Libra crazy. A Libra might not be able to understand the Virgo’s need to be alone, so the Libra might impede on the Virgo’s solitude, annoying the Virgo.
Both a Virgo and Libra are sensitive to criticism or teasing. They’ll have to figure out how to joke with each other since both are prone to getting their feelings hurt.
The Virgo is service oriented while the Libra seeks status. The Virgo is selfless and wonders how to best improve the lives of other people. The Libra thinks about helping others too, but also prioritize themselves and how the Libra looks among other people.
Finally, the biggest difference between a Virgo and Libra is how they view the world. A Virgo is a realist while a Libra is an idealist. This can cause issues big and small over how to operate their relationship and live their lives with one another.
How Do a Virgo and Libra Fit Together?
Both like showing off their conversation skills. A Virgo and Libra can talk for hours about a variety of subjects. Virgos naturally analyze what they hear and draw their own intelligent conclusions, impressing the Libra.
Libras want the Virgos to listen to and admire them. Libras feel alive in a relationship context. It’s not that they can’t be alone, it’s just that they feel a partner completes them in ways a solitary Libra can’t feel.
Such differences in experiencing isolation will make the relationship faulty from the start. The Libra need to be around the Virgo to feel whole or happy, putting too much pressure on the Virgo.
The Virgo will feel conflicted. The Virgo wants to make the Libra feel better but not at the price of the Virgo’s independence. They’ll want to help their partner, but don’t naturally shower people with attention or affection.
For the relationship to flourish, the Libra will have to learn moderation. The Virgo will have to communicate in ways that don’t come naturally to them.
What’s Virgo and Libra Sexual Intimacy Like?
In short, it’s not good. Mercury rules the Virgo, who relies on Venus falling. Venus rules the Libra, making their incompatibility extremely noticeable during sex.
Virgos are shy and reserved. They know how to mechanically please their partner but might find it hard to communicate what they want or need. Further, the Virgo might find themselves too deep in their anxieties to truly enjoy what they’re feeling.
The Libra, conversely, will find sex to be an amazing romantic connection that allows both of them to forge a deep emotional bond…even if no one else thinks that. The Libra will think everything is perfect in sex simply because the two are having sex. Worse, the Libra might think they’re doing a better job than they actually are, which is the main ingredient for bad sex.
While the Virgo and Libra are platonically attracted to each other, they’ll wonder what made them be sexually attracted to one another. The Libra and Virgo will think that other aspects of their relationship, like the deep conversations they’ve had, as a stand-in for emotional intimacy informing the sexual attraction.
They’ll find that they’ve simply rushed into sex. The Virgo needs time to truly understand the person they’re with, while the Libra’s Air sign makes them a master of speed. The Libra might think they’re ready for sex before the two are, hindering both the sexual and romantic relationship from advancing.
How Do Virgos and Libras Communicate?
The Virgo will try to wrangle the Libra’s carefree mind, which the Libra will find restrictive and suffocating. The Virgo’s goal will be to get the Libra to see life from the ground as opposed to the clouds, whereas the Libra will try to get the Virgo to live a little.
Both will find the other’s attempt to control them frustrating, and how each other sees what is valuable will irk the other. The Libra is superficial, choosing catchy aesthetics over utilitarianism. The Virgo doesn’t care how something looks as long as it’s practical. When it comes to how to decorate a house, the two will come to a stalemate.
While disagreeing on attitude and life outlook, the two will find agreement on the serious issues in life. Both are ambitious and strive for a high standard of living. Both enjoy theorizing over artistic or literary pieces. While the minor issues seem large, it’s the bigger perspectives that matter in a relationship.
A Virgo and Libra must find the patience and empathy to see where the other is coming from. Such maturity takes a great amount of emotional intelligence, but they’ll find it a great way to not only grow themselves but keep an interesting partner in their life.
Are a Virgo and Libra Compatible?
Virgos and Libras are compatible in their life outlooks but wholly incompatible in other minor aspects of their lives. They are not sexually compatible and could barely tolerate each other above the friendship level.
Their incompatibility doesn’t mean that a Virgo and Libra relationship is wholly impossible. A Virgo will need to notice their boundaries and limitations within themselves and be able to translate them to another person.
For example, a Virgo must be able to communicate when they feel overstimulated and need alone time. The Libra should then heed the Virgo’s desire for solitude and wait until the Virgo feel up for quality time together.
However, basing a relationship off navigating each other’s vastly different boundaries can seem more like a chore than an enriching experience. A Virgo and Libra can find enrichment in each other for the short term, but the long-term sustainability of their relationship seems bleak.
It would be best for the Virgo and Libra to remain friends and opt for different partners on the zodiac.
