The Capricorn woman and the Virgo man can form a true, compatible, and secure relationship and friendship. This is a pairing that hits it off right away and there is a certain familiarity to these two earth signs. Both, with their high standards and an even higher need for accomplishments, something is compelling and sexy about an earth sign duo.
Is a Capricorn Woman and a Virgo Man a Good Match?
It all depends on the two lovers at hand, however, as Virgo men, a mutable earth sign, are notorious for their unpredictable ways in love. The Capricorn woman, being a cardinal sign and focused on where things are headed, may feel a bit uneasy in this relationship unless they are being shown real proof of the direction of the connection. Overall, this pairing can either be the perfect match or the perfect storm.
What attracts a Capricorn woman and a Virgo man to each other?
The Capricorn woman forms an almost immediate attraction to the Virgo man. She sees in him someone who is well put-together, thoughtful, and organized, all things she admires in others and tries to uphold herself. The Virgo man sees the Capricorn woman as someone who matches his high, most likely unreachable standards and someone he doesn’t have to hide his needs and wants from.
They are both not overly emotional beings and when they are around people who are so, they tend to feel themselves go in their shells a bit. With this connection, they feel a sense of safety with each other, and they are more open with one another than they may usually be.
There is a certain aura that earth signs carry, and there is an abundance of groundedness within them that is attractive to most, but especially to those who are earth signs as well. They are the sign you can completely chill with and not have to push conversation or activity. Capricorns and Virgos most often meet in familiar places of interest they both commonly share, like a nice restaurant, a park, work, or a bank.
The Capricorn woman and Virgo man have similar values in life and are attracted to each other’s auras, communication style, and sense of self-sufficiency. They don’t feel smothered in this relationship, they feel at home.
What is the relationship like between a Capricorn woman and a Virgo man?
The relationship between a Capricorn woman and a Virgo man is a slow and steady one. They have a lot of priorities in life and will need to make time to keep the connection growing, but at the end of the day, they both want dedicated and loyal love and are willing to put the work in to get there. Since they have such a strong compatibility, it’s easy to adore each other, and they are some of the best supporters of the zodiac.
The Capricorn woman brings out the Virgo man’s fun side. She shows him an aspect of life that is not all work and no play, but rather one that enjoys the successes they have worked so hard for.
Both Capricorn and Virgo tend to keep busy, and this is a couple that has a lot going on at once, as they are both hard workers with a lot of responsibilities and tend to be the go-to in many other people's lives. The good news is that they’ll most likely make a lot of money together, but at what cost? This relationship has all the aspects to quickly become a business partnership rather than a romantic one, and there needs to be a good balance between the personal life and professional one of the relationship to make this work.
What is the sex like between a Capricorn woman and a Virgo man?
The sex life between the Capricorn woman and the Virgo man is one of the best for both of them. Earth signs are naturally more sensual than a lot of the zodiac, and they take this area of their life very seriously. They’ll have fun playing games with each other in the bedroom and will take turns with different dominant and submissive positions. The Virgo man may surprise the Capricorn woman with his knowledge in the bedroom, as this is an area of his life that tends to be a little less restrictive than usual.
He will still definitely be cleaning the room right away after, like the Virgo he is, but this doesn’t go without showing the adventure he brings. The Capricorn woman wants the best of the best and works towards that with any partner or experience that they are in.
What makes a relationship between a Capricorn woman and a Virgo man work?
What makes a relationship between a Capricorn woman and a Virgo man work so well is that they feed good energy into each other’s lives. They are both looking for the same things and don’t force each other to be anything different than they are. They are loyal, secure, and loving, and this pairing often forms a long-life partnership.
Not much can break the attraction and connection that the Capricorn woman and Virgo man create, and that’s a lot to be said. There is a deep trust in this relationship, and the union they form is a significant one.
This couple likes to spend time together, have shared experiences, travel, eat good food, and do things in luxury. This is a partnership that works hard towards their goals together and is willing to make sacrifices when needed. Their values align, and the way they uphold themselves in life aligns as well. Neither is stepping on each other’s toes, and the Capricorn woman and Virgo man have a comfortable relationship.
They have good times and quiet times together and enjoy each other’s company more than anything. This is a relationship that is built from the ground up.
What may cause a Capricorn woman and a Virgo man to break up?
On the surface, everything seems perfect with this pairing and it’s hard to think of what can go wrong right away. However, the deeper this connection goes, they may begin to uncover parts of their partner they didn’t see before, and this can end up being a deal-breaker. For the Capricorn woman, security is everything. The Virgo man feels the same, but he is also willing to take risks and do things differently to create that sense of structure in his life.
The Capricorn woman may need more assurance than the Virgo man is willing to give, yet the Virgo man may need more acceptance from the Capricorn woman. He might find her to be more limiting than his heart can take on.
Both are stubborn individuals as well, and any differences that arise are difficult to smooth out. Even though these two tend to have similar values in life, they also see things very differently on how to get there and what rules they want to live by, and this can disrupt the synergy in the relationship. Not to mention, these two are always working or doing something, and it can be hard to make quality time for the relationship.
Things can go stale pretty quickly here unless they are learning, changing, and growing with each other rather than taking things personally and seeing change as a break in the relationship.
Summary
Overall, this pairing can truly flourish with the right people in it. The Capricorn woman sees so much of what she is looking for in the Virgo man, but can he keep up with all that is asked of him at the end of the day? The Virgo man yearns for an unmatched loyalty, one that the Capricorn woman provides, yet finds himself looking for a way out the second he finds stability.
These two come into each other’s lives to learn from each other, and most importantly to grow. If they can get out of the way of their own blessings and see what’s in front of them, this can be a romance that is an endgame for both of them. There is something special here, and it’s hard to miss.

This Is How To Keep 'Holiday Season Stress' From Infecting Your Relationship
Hmph. Maybe it’s just me, but it seems like there is something really weird happening in the fall season air (because winter doesn’t officially begin until December 21) that cuddle season is in full swing while break-up season is as well. In fact, did you know that break-ups are so popular during the holiday season that December 11 is deemed Break-Up Day?
The reasons why relationships shift around this time vary; however, I did both roll my eyes and chuckle when I read that a very popular one is because it’s an easy way to get out of getting one’s significant other a Christmas present. SMDH.
Anyway, I personally think that the less shallow folks out here may contemplate calling things “quits” or they at least distance themselves a bit from their partner (and what I’m referring to is serious relationships) due to all of the stress and strain that oftentimes comes with the holidays whether it be financial, familial, due to their tight schedules or something else.
Listen, I would hate for you and your man to miss the fun and happiness of experiencing this time of year, all because you are so overwhelmed or irritated that you can’t really enjoy it. That’s why I have a few practical tips for how to avoid allowing the typical holiday season stress from INFECTING your relationship.
Manage Your Expectations
GiphyUnmanaged expectations. If there is a main reason why the holiday season tends to be so stress-filled for so many people, I’d bet good money that this is the cause. And when you’re in a long-term relationship, expectations can manifest themselves in all sorts of cryptic and/or unexpected ways. You might have relatives who assume that you are going to be with them for Thanksgiving or Christmas when you have other plans in mind. You might be thinking that you are going to spend one amount for presents while your man is thinking something totally different. When it comes to scheduling, your signals may be crossed.
And you know what? To all of these scenarios, this is where clear and consistent communication come in. Don’t assume anything. Don’t dictate anything either. From now until New Year’s, mutually decide to check in once a week, just to make sure that you are both on the same page as it relates to the holidays and what you both are thinking will come along with it. The less blindsided you both feel, the less stressed out you will be. Trust me on this.
Set (and Keep) a Budget
GiphyOkay, so I read that last year, 36 percent of Americans incurred some type of holiday-related debt. Hmph. Last year, there was still some sense of normalcy in this country, chile, so I can only imagine what finances are gonna look like over the next several weeks. That said, since I don’t know a lot of people who don’t find being broke stressful, make sure that you and your bae set a budget and then stick to it this year — no ifs, ands or buts.
Because really, y’all — it doesn’t make sense to deplete savings and/or max out credit cards for a few days of giggles only to be damn near losing your mind because you don’t know how to make ends meet come Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Day.
And by the way, this tip doesn’t just speak to things like food and gifts; I also mean travel. If it doesn’t make a ton of sense (or cents) to be all over the place this year — DON’T BE.
Keep Matthew 5:37 at the Forefront
GiphyIf off the top of your head, you don’t know what Matthew 5:37 says, no worries, here ya go: “But let your ‘Yes’ be ‘Yes,’ and your ‘No,’ ‘No.’ For whatever is more than these is from the evil one.” That verse right there? Oh, it’s a boundaries lifesaver! I say that because do you see “maybe” or “I’ll think about it” in there? Nope. LOL. It says that you should tell people “yes” or “no” and leave it at that — and that complements Anne Lamott’s quote, “’No’ is a complete sentence” impeccably well. Yeah, you’ve got to remember that anything beyond a yes or no to a request is privileged information; you don’t owe anyone details or an explanation.
Besides, if you are really honest with yourself, when someone asks you something and you give a “Umm, let me think about it” kind of reply, more times than not, you already know what your answer is going to be — so why not let you both off of the hook? Give your response. Commit to that. And let everyone (including yourself) get on with their lives and schedules.
I promise you that when it comes to those holiday parties, you are pissing more folks off by not RSVP’ing or doing so and not showing up than just saying, “Thank you but not this year” off the rip.
Remember That Your Personal Space Is Privilege Not a Right
GiphyA friend of mine recently bought a new house and invited me over to come see it. He’s a single man with no children, so as I was taking in all of the space that he had, especially as I walked through his finished basement, I joked about relatives coming to live with him. “Hell no” and “absolutely not” were pretty much his immediate responses as he went on to say that some folks even had the nerve to be offended when he told them that he had no intentions on taking DNA in.
Ain’t it wild how people think that your stuff is their right? And yes, that brings me to my next point. Your home is your sanctuary space. If you want to host folks this year — cool. If not, ALSO COOL. Please don’t let folks (family included) guilt you into how they want you to act or even into what they would do if the shoe was on the other foot. You are not them — and as one of my favorite quotes states, “If two people were exactly alike, one of them would be unnecessary.” (A man by the name Larry Dixon said that.)
Hell, my friends? They know that I am good for sending them random things that they need or even want all throughout the year. Coming over to hang out at my pace, though. Uh-uh. Chalk it up to being a card-carrying member of the ambivert club yet I like keeping my living space personal — and I sleep like a baby, each and every night, for feeling that way.
Always remember that your space, your time, your resources, your energy and shoot, yourself period (including your relationship), are all things that are your own. You get to choose how, when and why you want to share them. The holiday season is certainly no exception.
Cultivate Some “You Two Only” Traditions
GiphyIt’s not uncommon for some couples to hit me up after the holiday season to “detox.” Sometimes it’s due to the financial drama (and sometimes trauma) that they experienced. Sometimes it’s because they allowed their relatives (especially in-laws) to get more into their personal business than they should’ve. More than anything, though, it tends to be because they didn’t get enough quality time together and so ended up feeling “disconnected.”
Please don’t let that happen. Listen, I’m not even a holidays kind of woman and yet, I will absolutely sit myself down with some hot chocolate and chocolate chip cookies to enjoy a Hallmark holiday film or two. Aside from the fact that most of them are lighthearted and sweet, I also like that they usually focus on couples loving on each other amidst all of the holiday beauty and ambiance — which is something that all couples should set aside some time to do.
Maybe it’s a vacation. Maybe it’s a staycation. Or maybe it’s my personal favorite, A SEXCATION. Whether it’s for a few days, the weekend or even overnight — don’t you let the holidays go by without setting aside time for you and your man to celebrate one another. Don’t you dare (check out “Are You Ready To Have Some Very Merry 'Christmas Sex'?”).
GET. SOME. REST.
GiphyI once read that 8 out of 10 people get stressed out over the holidays and 3 out of 10 lose sleep during to it — and when you’re stress-filled and sleep-deprived, that can absolutely lead to hypersensitivity, making mountains out of molehills and even not being in the mood for sex.
Your relationship can’t afford to go through any of this, so definitely make sure to prioritize rest. I don’t care how unrealistic it might seem during this time, sleep should never be seen as a luxury; it will always and forever be a great necessity.
That said, try to get no less than six hours of shut-eye in (check out “6 Fascinating Ways Sex And Sleep Definitely Go Hand In Hand”) and even ask your bae to take a nap with you sometimes (check out “Wanna Have Some Next-Level Sex? Take A Nap, Sis.”). Not only will sleep help to restore your mind, body and spirit but, when it’s with your partner, it’s an act of intimacy that can make you both feel super connected, even in the midst of what might feel like chaos.

Holiday season stress is real. Still, never give it the permission or power to throw your relationship off. Put you and your man first and let the holidays be what they are gonna be, chile.

While doing a podcast interview a couple of weeks ago, when I said my age, the interviewer complimented me by saying that what I said is not what they would’ve guessed. When they asked what the secret was, the first thing that came out of my mouth was, “Oh, I’m gonna take me a nap.”
I adore sleep. I’ve said before that it’s like what Six Flags is to some people. And really, it’s just a plus that there are so many health benefits from getting plenty of rest. Beauty-wise, science does reveal that getting no less than seven hours a night can slow down signs of aging. Know what else? There are some direct things that sleep — and the lack thereof — can do to your immunity as well.
And so, since this is the time of year when catching a cold (and/or the flu) is common, let’s talk about the impact that sleep (and again, a lack thereof) has on your immune system. That way, you can remain as healthy as possible during the fall and winter seasons.
1. Less Sleep Means More Colds
GiphyLike I stated in the intro, I’m pretty sure you’ve heard somewhere that the fall and winter are the seasons when people are most susceptible to catching a cold or coming down with the flu. And that’s exactly why I thought I would start this all off by sharing the fact that some studies reveal that if you get less than six hours of sleep, on a consistent basis, you end up making yourself more vulnerable to coming down with both. In fact, some research says that only 18 percent of people who get six-plus hours of rest caught a cold while almost 40 percent who got less than that did.
The logic behind it all is sleep gives your body time to build up the proteins and cells (like cytokines and T-cells) that you need to fight off certain viruses. So, if nothing bothers you more than having a stuffy nose or stubborn cough when it’s cold outside, getting more sleep is one way to prevent that from happening to you.
2. Less Sleep Means More Allergy Symptoms
GiphyAt the end of the day, an allergy is basically what transpires whenever your immune system “overreacts” to something that other people’s systems do not. And since sleep is what helps to keep your immune system nice and strong — well, I’m sure you get how less allergy-related symptoms and more sleep go hand in hand. Also, since sleep helps to decrease bodily inflammation (more on that in a bit) and inflammation can also intensify allergy symptoms, that’s just one more reason to get as much shut-eye as possible.
3. Less Sleep Means Potential Diabetes and Heart Disease
GiphyDid you know that in 2024, Black women were diagnosed with diabetes 24 percent more than any other adult demographic. Also, it continues to be a reality that heart disease is the leading cause of death for Black women. These two sobering statistics alone should be enough of an incentive to do whatever you can to keep the risk of diabetes and heart disease way down.
One way to do that is by getting more sleep. Aside from the fact that sleep strengthens your immune system to where it is easier for you to fight off illness and diseases, sleep can keep your blood sugar levels in a healthy space; plus, when it comes to your heart, it gives it, along with your arteries and blood vessels a break.
4. Less Sleep Means Less Time for Your Body to Push “Reset”
GiphyIf you really stopped to consider all that your body goes through during the day (you can read some about that here), you definitely would respect it enough to do your best to thank it by giving it no less than six hours of sleep, each and every night. Sleep is what helps to slow your brain and body down so they are able to “refuel” for the next day. After all, how can your body prevent you from getting sick if your immune system is too worn out to fight ailments off? Exactly.
5. More Sleep Helps You to Fight Off Infections
GiphySpeaking of, in order for your body to fight off infections, there are certain cells and antibodies within you that need to be healthy and strong — one way that they get and stay that way is by you getting a good amount of sleep. For instance, remember when I touched on cytokines earlier? Well, the same way that they help to prevent colds, they also help to prevent infections too. And since sleep lowers your cortisol (stress) levels, rest gives your body the time and space to build up an army that can fight off free radicals and other health-related challenges while you are awake.
6. More Sleep Lowers Bodily Inflammation
GiphyWhenever a health-related issue is mentioned on this platform, inflammation is something that is mentioned quite a bit. Probably the easiest way to explain inflammation is it’s how your body responds/reacts whenever something is happening to your body that shouldn’t be, whether it’s an illness, an injury, a germ or something that you may be allergic to.
If you happen to have chronic inflammation, some symptoms that are associated with that include fatigue, stiff joints, skin rashes, weight gain and moodiness.
The interesting thing about all of this is if you aren’t getting enough rest, you could be triggering inflammation in your body. That’s because studies reveal that a lack of sleep can elevate molecules that are associated with inflammation. So, if you don’t want inflammation to increase within your system, you should definitely catch more zzz’s.
7. More Sleep Regulates Hormones
GiphyWhen it comes to hormones like serotonin, estrogen and cortisol, believe it or not, they play a role in how your immune system acts and overreacts. That’s because, if your hormones are out of balance, that can cause your immune system to work harder than it actually should and that can make you more vulnerable to sickness. One way to keep your hormones leveled out? SLEEP.
That’s because sleep gives your body the opportunity to rest, repair and restore your hormone levels. On the other hand, when you are sleep deprived, that can put/keep your hormones on the ultimate roller coaster ride. #notgood
8. More Sleep Strengthens Vaccines
flu shot GIF - Find & Share on GIPHYGiphyIf you’re someone who is good for getting some sort of vaccine around this time of the year, make sure that you rest up before and after getting your shots. Not only does adequate rest before a vaccination help your immune system to be better receptive to your shots but sleep also helps your body to build up enough antibodies to make your vaccinations effective after getting them. Because if you’re gonna get pricked, shouldn’t it be worth it? My thoughts exactly.
Get some freakin’ sleep! Your immune system depends on it.
