Earthy Virgo is careful, methodical and controlled and analytical. Fiery Sagittarius is impulsive, quick, independent and sometimes reckless or extravagant. While Virgo is mentally equipped to specialize or concentrate on one thing at a time, handle small details and live in the present, Sagittarius is mentally wide-angled optimistic and always looks to the future. Self expression of these signs flows through very different channels.
