The first thing a Virgo will try and do when they find a new Lover, is to fit them into their world and try and find out where they belong. After all, everything has to be in order and this need to have things pigeonholed and labelled, could put a lot of pressure on a poor Virgo, because love always runs its own course and not always the one we want it to take.

As a sign with really strong tastes in love, they don't enter love lightly and they're just as careful when selecting a mate, as they are when you're making any of their other notorious, long winded decisions. While many suitors are attracted by their earthiness, natural ways, none but those with the highest credentials will get a look in. Are they fussy in love? You bet!

While they're not the most passionate of signs, they can be bribed and they love to receive tokens of love and affection. While words and communication are the cornerstones of any relationship they'll have, they need to be shown in more than words, how they're felt about. Though they're not overtly emotional, they're a sucker for lavish displays of affection. They may complain about the mess you made when you sprinkled roses throughout the bedroom, but once the vacuum cleaner is away, they'll have a soft, warm spot in their heart that will outlive any memory of the mess you made.

They'll love to do the same in return and once they've given their heart, they'll spend time, effort and energy finding out what really pleases their lover. They're not into repeating what others do, or what is common in love, for they need to find out what their mate needs and make it individual to them. They need to tell them that they do love and care for them and they'll do it in ways that will knock your socks off with their thoughtfulness, more so because you didn't see it coming.

Virgos are meticulous and they'll do well to find someone who is meticulous as well, but not as much as much as they are or you'll suffocate any romance out of the relationship, but enough that they don't drive them crazy. If a Virgo has to fight their way through the clutter to get to the bedroom door, they'll be turned off long before they get there. They don't need someone just like them though, for they need a lover that will lighten their mood and stop them from getting too serious.

Loyalty is everything to a Virgo and while their more romantic cosmic mates may scoff at the seriousness they approach love with, once they've found love that seriousness turns into commitment and loyalty.

While Virgos are often perfectionists by nature and tend to analyse things to death, those that know and love them, see this as simply part of their adorable and quirky ways and wouldn't want them to be any other way.

It's in love that they need to find a partner that they can trust and have confidence in, that no matter how disorganised life may get, that they are their rudder, the one stable thing that they can hang on to. Once they've found that person, they'll never, ever let them go, not without a fight anyway.

Compatibility

So who can come up to a Virgo's standards? A Virgo is looking for someone who is going to understand them, who can appreciate their need for order, but doesn't allow them to try and control things too much. They need someone who's going to tell them when they're going overboard and isn't afraid to stand up and say 'No, I'm not going to colour code my sock drawer'.

Fellow Earth signs make perfect mates, for they have the same sense of stability and love of order that a Virgo has. Your most romantic choice in a mate is a Capricorn and if you fall in love with a Capricorn, this could be a match made in heaven. The battle lines could be drawn if your Capricorn is too controlling, for you don't want to end up with a power struggle on your hands.

Taureans have a love of beauty and a sense of patience that could provide a very peaceful antidote for your often self induced, stressful life. Your opposing sign of Pisces could be a good choice as well, so long as you don't try and boss them around too much.

The ideal mate for a Virgo would be someone outside your genre, but has enough of the Virgo like qualities in them, to satisfy you. You are a sign that needs lightening up and not take things too seriously, so you need someone who will push you out of your comfort zone, dare you to try life's dangerous adventures, but has the sense of stability and seriousness about them, that allows you to have confidence in them. To find a really perfect mate, you're going to have to find someone with a mix of planets that is complimentary and that could be found in any of your cosmic mates.

The ideal partner would be a stable Earth sign, with just enough Fire in them to keep you dancing on the edge of your seat. An early born Taurean or late born Aries would fit that bill or you could find a late born Leo, who's bound to have some Virgo in them, who could be the ideal partner as well.

Virgo and Aries An immediate attraction that might find it hard to get past the first few dates. Attraction is skin deep but can work with patience on both sides.

Virgo and Taurus When these two practical earth signs connect, they'll create a match made in heaven. The longer they're together, the deeper in love they'll become.

Virgo and Gemini As Mercury ruled signs, these two have a lot in common, but a very different approach to life. They may annoy each other, but are both what the other needs.

Virgo and Cancer While at first the distance between these lovers is wide, the closer they get the less their differences will matter. This is marriage potential, rather than a fling.

Virgo and Leo So mismatched, yet so perfect for each other. This won't be love at first sight, with a slow approach giving each a chance to appreciate the treasure they have found.

Virgo and Libra These two signs fit together in such as way that each will think they've found a missing part to themselves. They have a great deal in common.

Virgo and Scorpio There's something dangerous about a Scorpio that Virgos are drawn to and something loyal in a Virgo that Scorpios find irresistible. So different, but so complementary.

Virgo and Sagittarius This couple will enjoy a busy social life and while there are a lot of differences, each respects and admires the other. If the chemistry is right, love will follow.

Virgo and Capricorn This couple has so much in common, that even their differences are complementary. Each has found their missing half, with this one of love's great matches.

Virgo and Aquarius There are so many differences in this couple, that they'll either be drawn or repelled by each other. There'll be no shades of grey. It's all or nothing.

Virgo and Pisces Opposites always attract, with this being a good match for both signs. Though very different in personality, they form two halves of a great partnership. 

Virgo and Virgo These practical souls are a match made in heaven, a well oiled machine at home, raising kids or in business. Hopelessly devoted, this couple turns teamwork into an artform.
