Virgo and Capricorn compatibility
An Earth trine between Mercury and Saturn: a capable, serious, loyal couple who need to remember to laugh and rest.
Look for two people who keep their commitments and you will often find a Virgo and a Capricorn: their Earth trine speaks the language of effort and competence. Virgo, a mutable sign, refines and adapts. Capricorn, a cardinal sign, sets the course and gets things going. Mercury brings analysis and attention to detail, Saturn brings discipline and long-range vision. When they plan their wedding, Capricorn holds the overall budget and negotiates with suppliers while Virgo runs the countdown schedule and checks every quote. Everything is ready a week early. They respect each other deeply, because each recognizes in the other a quality they value: seriousness. Their couple inspires confidence, and people close to them often come for advice. What weighs on them is too much seriousness. Work can take over everything, evenings, weekends, holidays spent answering emails. Neither is very demonstrative, and feelings can stay implicit for months. Virgo worries, Capricorn closes up, and nobody suggests dropping everything for a day. This couple needs scheduled lightness, practically written into the diary.
In love
In love, they commit slowly and seriously, then stay faithful for a long time. Capricorn brings stability, Virgo brings attentive care. Their tenderness travels through actions. For passion to survive the years, they need to give themselves moments of pure pleasure with no goal, and say what they feel in simple words, even if it seems unnecessary to them.
As friends
As friends, they’re the people you call for serious advice: a contract, a move, a career choice. They meet regularly without fuss, and their loyalty spans the years. Their deadpan humor is understood by only a few, and that is exactly what brings them close.
At work
At work, they deliver on time and to the cent. Capricorn sets the strategy and targets, Virgo ensures quality and follow-up. They succeed in management, finance, law and engineering. They need to be careful not to burn out, and to delegate more than they naturally would.
Put half a day of pure leisure in the diary each week, as seriously as a business meeting. And once a week, tell each other one thing you appreciate.
Sun-sign compatibility looks at one planet out of ten. Each person’s Venus, Mars and Moon often say more.
