Why Is Libra Attracted to Virgo?
1. Libra is attracted to Virgo’s intelligence
Libra, being an intelligent air sign, is always looking for someone they can have an intelligent conversation with.
So naturally, with Virgo being such a smarty-pants, Libra has an instant attraction.
There’s depth to the Virgo mind that makes the Libra curious as a cat.
Being ruled by Venus, you would think the Libra would go for the more romantic type.
But the Virgo’s logical and analytical brain captivates the Libra and unlocks their deeper intellectual side that they don’t always get to explore.

2. Libra can’t resist a mystery
Virgos are a complete mystery to everyone.
And that fascinates the Libra.
Librans like to think they’re great at figuring everyone out, but Virgo is as clear as mud.
The Virgo is also a workaholic, and they leave fun and flirting for well after 9 to 5 hours when the work is done.
The Libra is on the edge of their seat wondering when the busy Virgo is going to call them to come out and play.
3. Virgo is a challenge
Virgos don’t simply fall for the charms of the Libra like most people do.
They don’t show a lot of emotion, and they’re difficult to get close to, which is honey to the bee for the Libra.
On the bad side, Libras go for emotionally unavailable relationship partners, feeling the need to “fix” them or earn their love.
But the Libra knows if they can earn the Virgo’s trust and affection, they’ll be richly rewarded for their efforts with a doting, committed partner.
4. Virgo grounds Libra
Whereas Libras are idealistic, Virgos are realistic.
Virgo provides a much-needed grounding energy to the Libran’s visions of beauty and harmony.
While Libras like to create big plans about how to make society a better place, they may not include practical considerations.
This is where the Virgo comes in, capable of building out the Libra’s dream with pragmatic advice to make it more viable.
Libra is drawn the Virgo’s level-headedness, and they greatly value and desire what they see as a true partnership between them.
5. Virgo has their own type of charm
Sometimes awkward, but always gentle and sincere, the Virgo has an allure that is very different from the Libra’s.
Libras know how to captivate others with their quick wit, charisma and agreeable natures.
But the quiet Virgo captures the Libra’s attention with an enchanting mix of nerdiness, which comes out in full force when the Libra gets on the Virgo’s favorite topic, and their ability to laugh at themselves.
The humble and kind Virgo has crept up on many an unsuspecting Libra with their own mesmerizing type of charm.
6. They’re neighboring signs
A very simple and straightforward reason Libra is attracted to Virgo is that they’re neighboring signs on the zodiac wheel.
Meaning, they literally sit next to each other—Libra, which happens in October, comes after Virgo in September.
The theory goes that the next sign on the zodiac wheel (in this case Libra), contains the lessons of the previous sign (Virgo) and is thus familiar with that sign.
And that familiarity breeds a sort of attraction, like two friends realizing that they have the hots for each other.
7. Virgo is genuine
There’s nothing false or superficial about Virgo’s personality.
What you see is what you get with a Virgo. And this is very appealing to the Libra, who has been burned by people who took advantage of them in the past.
Highly valuing honesty and loyalty, the Libra likes that the Virgo is not manipulative, nor will they play the Libra.
Virgos say what they mean and mean what they say (even though they may not say a lot), so the Libra knows they can always count on the Virgo.
8. Virgo is a loner
Virgos are the definition of loner, with their intense need to be alone with their projects and their thoughts.
While Virgos may seem to be able to socialize, they’re actually very introverted.
Social butterfly Libra finds this very interesting about them.
Libras like the “bad boys” and the “bad girls” and can definitely be magnetized to the Virgo’s lone wolf status for this reason.
Even though, let’s face it, Virgo is not so much bad boy energy as an overthinker.
9. Virgo does stuff for the Libra
As the sign of service, Virgo likes to do things for others.
They’re very giving of their resources and energy—to the right person, that is.
As it happens, Libra loves it when people do stuff for them.
Libras are very romantic, pleasure-seeking individuals, and they see the Virgo’s acts of service as declarations of their adoration.
And, well, they’re not wrong.
Virgo can go right on taking care of Libra—they’ll always come back for more.
10. Libra is drawn to the Virgo’s decisiveness
Notorious for being plagued by indecisiveness, Libra is not like Virgo, who can make decisions and commit.
Don’t get them wrong—Virgos can be riddled with anxiety and agonize over what to do, too.
But the Virgo’s lifeline is their line of logic, which will always lead them to a sound decision that they are comfortable sticking to.
This is something the Libra is comforted by, and they like the mutable sign Virgo being able to call the shots when necessary.
