Virgo is one of the most misunderstood signs of the zodiac – if you were born with the Moon in Virgo, you’re anything but virginal! Discriminating, hard working and practical, you tend to rely more on your intellect than on your instincts, even in love. Being an earth sign, however, you are sensual and passionate – in private, and with the right person. Virgo Moon compatibility is not at all showy and is quite low key, but no less endearing for that. It’s what you don’t show which attracts others to you, more than what you do show – the element of mystery and inscrutability.
Because Virgo energies are so perfectionist, you do tend to be highly critical of anything or anyone who fails to match up to your high standards. This can make Virgo Moon compatibility something of an uphill struggle for more free-wheeling signs, but those who persevere in trying to please you will reap the rewards in the end – you are a hugely supportive partner and will move heaven and earth to help your partner whenever you can. And although that critical nature of yours can become very annoying at times, you apply your criticisms just as much to yourself as you do to others – nobody could accuse you of hypocrisy, since you are your own worst critic.
If you were born with the Moon in Virgo, your dutiful nature shows itself when the chips are down. You’ll be first in line to take care of elderly family members, to rally around anyone who is sick, or to work yourself into the ground trying to keep the family afloat. For this reason, Virgo Moon compatibility insists on a responsible partner who can join you in the hard work – or at the very least who will not object to you taking on all manner of duties which could have been done by someone else. Your loving partner, however, sees beyond the slightly hassled air you sometimes have, having taken on too much – they see the devoted heart underneath, and they adore and respect your willingness to make sacrifices.
It’s because you do so much that you have to make sure that you do build in some relaxation time. A partner who takes Virgo Moon compatibility seriously will understand this, and will help and encourage you to enjoy hobbies, friendships outside the relationship, vacations and just plain down time. You do have a slightly obsessive personality when it comes to health and fitness, and relaxing your exercise and eating regime once in a while would be no bad thing either. You like to make detailed plans, but what makes your heart sing most of all is when a considerate lover persuades you to ditch the plans and enjoy some spontaneity. You won’t do it unless you’re gently pushed into it, but when you do, you know you’ve found the right person – someone who can help you manage the tricky balance between duty and desire, for a lifetime.
