Virgo and Sagittarius compatibility
Virgo + Sagittarius at a glance
Creative friction: three signs apart (a square).
A square is traditionally the "creative friction" angle. Virgo's methodical, careful and adaptable pace meets Sagittarius' expansive, enthusiastic and on the move pace, which can spark growth or irritation. Many of the most motivating relationships are squares.
Virgo (earth) and Sagittarius (fire) move at different speeds: fire wants to start now, earth wants to be sure first. Together that can mean bold plans that actually get finished, if each respects the other's pace.
Both are mutable signs, flexible and adaptable. Plans change easily; the trick is making sure someone actually decides.
