The Taurus/Virgo combination usually works harmoniously. Both Taurus and Virgo are earth signs, and share a concern with being grounded, practical, and with solid, tried and true values. Both women appreciate care, efficiency, and resourcefulness. The ideas of dependability and consistent support are dominant ones in this relationship. They know they can count on one another, and they both appreciate this. Each also knows that the other woman will carry her own weight, and not lean unduly on her partner. Each will feel comfortable about the way her partner manages her affairs, both practical and emotional. These two could make great business partners. There should be relatively few arguments about how the other is spending money or managing the household. Both these women are clean and well-organized in the home they share.
This relationship has many strong, durable qualities. What it may lack is the spark of passion, although this may be replaced by sensitivity to one another's needs and mutual consideration. The Virgo woman will appreciate her Taurus partner's soothing warmth and tenderness, especially as the Virgo is so often mercilessly self-critical. The Taurus woman will appreciate her Virgo partner's conscientious regard for her well-being, and her readiness to sacrifice her own convenience to help her lover.
When a problem arises in this relationship, it usually stems from the differences between the two signs. Taurus is slow, steady, patient and works best by gradually absorbing new ideas. The Taurus woman works through her intuition and "gut level" feelings rather than by intellectual speculation and analysis. The Virgo woman tends to analyze, compare ideas, and figure things out with her very keen intellect. Her mind is a tool with which she understands herself the world -- and her loved ones. The Taurus may at times become exasperated with her Virgo partner's tendency to analyze everything rather than "feeling things out", and the Virgo woman may become impatient with how long it takes her Taurus partner to come to a conclusion that the Virgo may have reached long ago. The Virgo woman needs to realize that if the Taurus thinks things through more slowly, the currents of her mind run all the deeper. The Taurus woman needs to stretch herself to appreciate the clarity and precision of her Virgo partner's thought processes, and here, as in other areas of their relationship, these two can complement each other. Another possible problem is that the Virgo can be very critical and her Taurus partner hates critcism, while the Taurean stubbornness can be difficult for the more flexible Virgo to adjust to. But these problems should not be overwhelming, considering the common ground these two women share. Sexually, this couple should be fairly compatible, except for the fact that the Taurus woman tends to be much more sensual than her Virgo partner.
