a couple walking along a beach. She is being piggy-backed.

We all wonder sometimes if a relationship is built to last. It’s scary to think about investing so much of ourselves into something that may not stand the test of time. Especially if you’re a security-oriented earth sign like Virgo or Capricorn. These are two signs that specifically don’t invest unless they know their investment will bring a return. So, before we even jump into Virgo and Capricorn compatibility, the million-dollar question is: will they last? Will this relationship stand the test of time?

The good news is that it seems highly likely that this couple will be one for the books. Come rain or shine, Virgo and Capricorn are just meant for each other. Their earth energy ensures that they’re meant to be and that they crave security and connection just as much as each other. This already makes these two signs highly compatible. They both prize building a strong relationship foundation of safety, equity, and connection. They both admire and respect each other’s need for stability in all areas of life.

What’s more, what makes Virgo and Capricorn so compatible is also the fact that they are both down-to-earth, practical, and grounded. Neither tends towards drama. They both take a level-headed approach to conflict and problems, which helps Virgo and Capricorn navigate their way through any challenge that gets thrown at them with ease and a sense that they are a team, working against the problem rather than each other.

Are Virgo and Capricorn a Good Match?

So, aside from being built to last, could Virgo and Capricorn make a good match? And if so, in which areas are they compatible and aligned?

The truth is that Virgo and Capricorn make not only a good match but a great one. They’re the type of couple that aligns in most areas, from mental compatibility to emotional to spiritual. They’ll feel this when they meet each other – they’ll feel a deep resonance, a sense that they’ve met someone just like themselves.

One of the biggest reasons why Virgo and Capricorn make such a great pair is their work ethic. Both tend to value their professional world and the building of job security as one of the most important goals in their lives. They also enjoy the material rewards of their efforts, whether having a beautiful home with refined furniture, shopping for classy new clothes, or eating at the finest restaurants. Nature is also one of the pastimes that Virgo and Capricorn tend to enjoy the most, making them highly compatible in how they spend their leisure time, too.

Neither Virgo nor Capricorn will mind if the other is spending extra hours at the office or on a professional project. In fact, they will applaud each other for working so hard and admire each other’s dedication and commitment. These two signs may even end up working together, with Capricorn being the natural leader and Virgo happy to help, serve, and support. Virgo very much looks up to Capricorns and appreciate their authority, which makes Capricorns feel very good about themselves. Capricorn, on the other hand, respects Virgo’s humility and loves how organized they are, how good they are at planning, and how well-thought-out their goals are.

Capricorn may also be very good at helping Virgo soothe their anxieties, providing them with a groundedness that Virgo deeply needs.

Can Virgo and Capricorn Be Soulmates?

Being such practical signs, Virgo and Capricorn don’t necessarily always buy into the idea of soulmates. It can all feel a little woo-woo for the two of you. But, you can totally buy into the idea that you’re life partners, companions, and best friends forever. At the heart of it, you truly are soulmates. This simply means that your souls are connected, that they are made of the same material, the same substance, and the same yearnings and desires. It also means that you’re likely to be together for life.

So, as soon as you can each drop the cynical side of things, at least for a moment, you’ll find a certain magic to your connection. It just feels easy with you two. You get each other. And is that not the very definition of having a soulmate?

Will Virgo and Capricorn Last?

Will your relationship stand the test of time? Are you meant to be together forever? Will your connection last through all of life’s ups and downs? 

Unless some very severe external circumstances happen, or if one or both of you haven’t really done the inner work, then yes, your relationship is likely to last. This is a lifetime soul contract that the two of you have got going. You’re both committed to this for the long haul. You wouldn’t waste your time for even a nanosecond with someone you couldn’t see yourself with forever and a day.

What helps make your relationship last is also the fact that neither of you is prone to drama and enjoys consistency and security. Virgo people do tend to be rather anxious and changeable, yet at the core, they crave a sense of grounding and security. This is what Capricorn provides, what Virgo needs deep down. 

On the other hand, Capricorn enjoys Virgo’s way of bringing variety, how they invite mental connection and inspiration, and how they bring in conversation and communication. There are so many qualities that make this relationship extra-special. You simply enjoy each other too much to let one another go – this makes your connection one that others admire and will want to emulate. You know your luck in finding each other.

Are Virgo and Capricorn Compatible in Bed?

There’s quite a famous saying about Capricorn and Virgo: reserved in the streets, wild in the sheets. This is absolutely, without a doubt, true. Being earth signs, you are each highly sensual and deeply passionate. Yet, you’re also not the type of couple to put it all on display. You feel that your physical connection is something sacred, private, something nobody else can see but each other. The fact that you are on the same page already makes things so much easier.

So, for you as a couple, your physical connection should seldom waver. You love slow, soft, sensual build-ups. You take your sweet time with each other. You don’t need to rush any single thing. There’s time to enjoy one another.

The only issue that may make itself known in the bedroom might be that you each work a little too hard at times, leaving no room for sensuality and physical pleasure. Long hours at the office or spent on projects may drain your life force, leaving you quite depleted and exhausted. It may be important for you to schedule time to connect, even if that feels a little unsexy in the moment. Creating the space you need for this ensures the heat stays alive forever. Another piece of advice would be to change things up once in a while. Being earth signs, you can get a little stuck in your routines, which can potentially become monotonous over time.

What are the Problem Areas for Virgo and Capricorn?

Like every couple, you’re likely to have problems. Being so aligned, you probably have fewer issues than most. Yet, there are some areas where you could hit a wall.

The first would be that you could end up taking each other for granted. Being so comfortable with each other means you’re likely to become complacent and comfortable. Over the years, this complacency can become monotonous, with little to no growth experienced unless you make a special effort.

Thus, inviting in new experiences and always appreciating each other is key. Not falling into the more mundane aspects of life and your responsibilities ensures that the romance stays alive. Being such practical signs, you tend to be highly focused on this area of love, leaving aside magic and mystery. Every couple needs this; every couple needs some passion. Prioritizing romantic moments becomes the flame that keeps your connection alive.

It may also be that you can be overly critical of each other. Virgos can especially look for flaws that don’t necessarily exist, creating all kinds of problems in their own minds. This can be projected onto the relationship, which may rub Capricorn the wrong way.

Capricorns may also have their own work to do. As much as it makes sense to conduct the connection as a business relationship, it can strip away the softness. Capricorn needs to invite tenderness and compassion for the Virgo, who can sometimes be quite hard on themselves. Both signs can work harder on a more compassionate attitude towards each other and a more forgiving manner. This, and making room for adventure, variety, and romance, are simple things that make this relationship one of the very best out there. There’s so much potential for this connection, with just a few tweaks here and there and a touch of work, and this relationship is just about perfect.
