COUPLE OF THE WEEKEND: Taurus and Virgo are two earth signs who have amazing chemistry together. Virgo’s somewhat intellectual approach to love holds a certain appeal to Taurus’ level-headed approach – it could be a lasting match. Between the two of them, they will have cornered the market of good old-fashioned common sense. For sheer sensuality, Taurus is the champ. Virgo finds Taurus’ presence calming.
