So I saw this astrology discussion online last week about Virgos and Capricorns being super compatible. People kept saying “earth signs just get each other!” but honestly, I needed to see it for myself. Just taking their word for it? Nah. Gotta test it, you know? Real data beats starry-eyed guesses any day.
First Step: The Interview Grind
I started hustling Tuesday morning. Hit up literally every Virgo and Capricorn friend I got. Texted ex-colleagues, slid into old classmates’ DMs, even pinged that cousin I haven’t seen since Aunt Carol’s funeral three years ago. Was basically pleading: “Hey, rate your exes for like, 5 mins? Please?” Got called desperate twice. Worth it. By Wednesday night, I had scores from 8 Virgos and 9 Capricorns talking about their past relationships. Took screenshots of every text convo – evidence matters.
Making Sense of the Chaos
Thursday was spreadsheet hell. Crammed everything into Google Sheets. Made columns for:
- Their zodiac sign (duh)
- The ex’s sign
- Compatibility score (1-10)
- Reason for breakup (“communication issues” came up A LOT)
Spent hours staring at that grid. Needed averages, right? Did the math manually on scratch paper first because I don’t trust formulas I didn’t punch in myself. Triple-checked those numbers till my eyes burned.
The Awkward Comparison Bit
Friday rolls around. Time to drag other signs into it. Felt kinda shady digging up my Sagittarius buddy Jake’s dating disaster stories, but science calls! Compared the Virgo-Cap scores against pairs involving other earth signs like Taurus, some fire signs (looking at you, Leo), air signs like Gemini, and water signs like Cancer. Threw those other pairs into the spreadsheet.
And whaddya know? The average scores told the story:
- Virgos rating Capricorns: 8.2
- Capricorns rating Virgos: 7.8
- Virgos rating Taurus (another earth sign): 6.7
- Virgos rating Sagittarius (fire sign): 4.3 (oof!)
So yeah, the earth sign solidarity is kinda legit! Not flawless magic, but way better than Virgo/Sag or Capricorn/Cancer pairs.
The “Duh” Conclusion
Is it all smooth sailing? Hell no! Both those signs are stubborn as mules when they wanna be. Saw that in the breakup reasons – “they NEVER admitted fault” popped up for both signs. But here’s the thing: the Virgos and Caps actually kinda admired that stubbornness in each other! Called it “reliable” or “has standards.” With other signs? Same trait got called “infuriating” or “rigid.” Basically proved similar values matter more than perfect stars aligning. Both want stability, hate flakiness, work hard. Sure, they drive each other nuts sometimes, but they speak the same grumpy, practical language.
Would I do it again? This detective crap took me 4 evenings! Next time someone says “Gemini and Libras are soulmates,” somebody else can grab the clipboard. My brain needs a break from zodiac math. Just gimme coffee and a nap.
