So last year, around January 2021, I was scrolling through my feed and saw a ton of people freaking out about Virgo and Taurus love compatibility. Like, everywhere. Folks were asking if it’s even possible for these two signs to date without driving each other insane. Honestly? I was skeptical too. I mean, Virgos pick everything apart and Taurus? Stubborn as a damn bull. But the buzz got me curious.
I figured, why not try this myself and see if any of those fancy “2021 Love Guide” tips actually hold water? My buddy Mark is a total Virgo – like, obsessed with lists and details – and his girlfriend Sarah is pure Taurus earth energy. She’s grounded, loves her routines, and won’t budge once her mind is made up. Perfect guinea pigs, right?
How This All Started
First step was annoying Mark and Sarah to death. Seriously, I pestered them for weeks. “Mark, did you plan date night down to the minute again?” “Sarah, did you veto his plan for something comfier?” I practically became their third wheel shadowing their dates. Took detailed notes like some kind of relationship detective:
- Tip #1: Virgos crave organization, Taurus needs comfort. Try planning together. Ha! Told Mark he had to ask Sarah before booking that ultra-precise, 7-course tasting menu. Dude looked pained. But he did it. Sarah loved getting a say and actually suggested a cozy, well-reviewed place instead. They compromised! Shocker.
- Tip #2: Money talk. Taurus loves security, Virgo worries. Big 2021 theme. Watched them clash hard over saving vs. spending. I made them sit down (over Zoom, ugh, pandemic vibes) with their budget apps open. Virgo Mark wanted spreadsheets (of course). Taurus Sarah wanted immediate security, less micro-managing. They argued. For ages. But eventually? They set clear weekly “no nagging” money chats. Small win.
The Messy Middle Part
This wasn’t smooth sailing. Mid-2021 was rough. I saw Mark totally nitpick Sarah’s “messy” car interior. She dug her heels in about her “system.” I tried telling them about this “appreciate the difference” tip. Virgos offer solutions, Taurus offers steadfast support. When Sarah was stressed about work, Mark started listing fixes. She shut down. So annoying! I basically yelled at him: “Dude, she just needs a hug and some comfort food, NOT a flowchart!” Took him a few rounds, but he finally got it. Made soup. Bribed her with chocolate. Progress.
What Actually Sorta Worked?
By late 2021, after months of me scribbling notes and bothering them, some stuff stuck:
- Scheduled Chill Time: Sounds dumb, but planning lazy Sundays together worked. Taurus gets her reliable downtime, Virgo feels in control knowing it’s scheduled. Win-win.
- Physical Comfort is Key: Ignored this at first. Big mistake. Taurus Sarah NEEDED that cozy factor – soft blankets, good food, touch. Virgo Mark needed the space to not be touched sometimes. Simple concessions made huge differences in avoiding meltdowns.
- Direct But Gentle Honesty: Beating around the bush? Death for this pair. Virgos see through it, Taurus gets annoyed. “I need space” or “That hurt my feelings,” said calmly? Gold. Saved so many pointless arguments.
Did they become some picture-perfect couple magically in 2021? Hell no. Mark still overthinks everything, and Sarah still hates admitting she’s wrong. Observing them was exhausting! But honestly? Those tips helped grease the wheels. They’re still together now, so maybe Virgo and Taurus can work if both sides put in the effort – and swallow their pride now and then. Worth the messy experiment? Yeah, kinda.
