Virgo and Scorpio

Courage to Change.

This is a zodiac match of signs with a high level of compatibility, and this is a relationship that gets a 75% chance of being successful. This is certainly a relationship that involves both depth and sincerity, passion and cooperation, and that’s why it has the essential ingredients to get the green light. 

In Virgo, we have a mutable Earth sign ruled by Mercury. In Scorpio, we have a fixed Water sign ruled by Pluto, and this is actually a delicate yet wonderful mixture of horoscope flavours. Both can feel very rewarded and also secure in the relationship. 

Scorpio, being a fixed sign, matches very well with an Earth sign like Virgo because, on a certain level, they both like to build; they want security and a steady approach to a relationship. They’re looking for reliability from their partnerships and something that can weather storms. 

The Water aspect of Scorpio’s nature blends well with the mutable quality of Virgo because mutable is very adaptable, while Water is highly emotional. Therefore, together they have quite a fluid approach to life and an ability to use intuitive power and seek understanding, plus they both want to make sense of things. 

Now, Scorpio is ruled by Pluto, which has a very different character from the planet Mercury. Pluto is everything that is opaque, intense, dramatic, and a little bit dangerous, whereas Mercury can be more whimsical, light-hearted, humorous, and playful. This is where there’s a mixture of traits that can be of benefit to both of them. Virgo actually is quite a serious sign, and that can be accommodated by the more deep-thinking side of Scorpio that takes life seriously. However, Scorpio is intensely curious, and Virgo, as a Mercury-ruled sign, is also mentally active and seeking intellectual stimulation. Together, they will be able to discuss many interesting subjects and dive deep into them. 

What they have in common is that both are perfectionists and both have a serious, incisive approach to life. These are very detail-orientated star signs that like to problem-solve and see to the heart of the matter. Both of them have a powerful need for truth, and these core aspects of their nature being very, very similar is why this relationship gets a good rating. 

Romantic Compatibility 

Now, these two astrology signs click intellectually. There are many areas of their personality that are mutually reassuring, and they are both serious and determined in relationships. 

How are they going to gel in terms of romance? Well, Virgo does respond romantically to powerful characters, and there is a part of Scorpio that is charismatic and almost omnipotent.

The Scorpio energy is difficult to ignore, there is something rather ‘big’ about their character, even if it’s not flamboyant or pushy like Aries and Leo. Virgo immediately senses that strength within Scorpio; they’re drawn to it. It’s very arousing for them, which means romance is high on the agenda. 

Scorpio may not feel as fulfilled by the romantic side of the relationship however. What Scorpio is looking for in love and relationships is a non-judgmental partner who loves unconditionally, who is also a little bit enigmatic and mysterious. They like someone who is gentle, non-confrontational, and someone who is able to accommodate their sometimes demanding and challenging personality with ease. 

Scorpio wants to be deeply understood, and they also don’t always want to be challenged in terms of their beliefs because they can be very touchy. Now, Virgo can deliver in terms of being a little bit enigmatic because Virgo doesn’t open up immediately. Alas, the problem is, Virgo can be very direct and critical. Virgo calls it as they see it, and if there’s something that’s bothering them, they’ll point it out, and sometimes Scorpio doesn’t really like that. They want someone a little bit more easy-going and tolerant, whereas Virgo gets impatient and is not the most tolerant sign, which can impact the romance. 

For Scorpio, Virgo has to work harder at being imaginative and indulging their creative side. Virgo needs to be more visually and poetically interesting, and a little less practical in love. 

Sexual Compatibility 

Now, these are two very sexual zodiac signs. They both approach sex in different ways, but they both need the area of intimate life to be rewarding and fulfilling. The bedroom is a key component of relationships for them, and both have a lot of energy in this department. So sexually, there’s a lot of potential, but that doesn’t mean they always understand each other or gel sexually. 

While it’s an area of life that’s important to them both, it’s not an area that’s always easy to navigate. They have to apply both common sense and their investigative skills in researching how to make it as good as it can be. 

Virgo really enjoys the fact that Scorpio is very expressive, passionate, and has fiery aspects to their personality. As Scorpio’s co-ruler is Mars, they have the assertiveness in the bedroom that really turns Virgo on. 

When it comes to Scorpio, they like a playful partner who can use humour to engage them. They like someone who’s versatile in bed, can try many things, and who is non-aggressive. Scorpio wants to generate the heat; they don’t want a partner that comes on too strong or is too forceful and therefore Virgo ticks those boxes. Virgo just needs to work a little more on playfulness and the pillow talk after sex, which is so important to Scorpio. 

Friendship Factor Between Virgo and Scorpio 

These two Sun signs make great friends. They’re compatible as colleagues, as workmates, or they may just network together as fellow professionals. In fact, they are often involved in similar careers. They are extremely diligent and hardworking people, and they will really respect each other’s work ethic. 

Neither likes to do things in half measures. Both are true to their word, both tend to be punctual, and all these traits 100% tick each other’s boxes. They both like the fact that each is conscientious, a good timekeeper, and a person of their word and that’s why the friendship is great. 

They also like to talk about their work together, and they will respect each other’s desire to do well professionally. They will support each other in career matters, and so there’s a multi faceted friendship here. 

A range of shared values will create a satisfying friendship experience. Communication is not necessarily over the top, it tends to be fairly succinct, but it is effective. 

Marriage and Long-Term Potential 

This zodiac match is definitely a candidate for getting married. However, they are also two signs of the zodiac that will stay single for the longest time. Scorpio and Virgo are both quite content to be alone; they enjoy their own company. Neither of them are signs that want to rush down the aisle, they can be very happy single. 

However, when they come together, if they desire to get married, it will seem like a very sensible option, and they will soon be able to agree on the big date. 

What makes this a good marriage is that they are team players. They’re not the sort of people who want to do everything together, but when they do set goals together, they commit and make a success out of it. 

The great thing is that their characters are a little bit different. Scorpio is more likely to take an emotional, dynamic, and passionate approach. Scorpio works well when emotionally involved. Virgo always likes to give their best, to be helpful, and they have a very kind side. Scorpio really responds to those traits. Virgo feels energised by Scorpio’s determination and strong inner conviction, and really admires that.

As a couple, they are very effective. They plan well, are organised, and make very good parents who are involved in their children’s upbringing. They tend to be able to put ego aside and they won’t be competitive with each other like many other signs. 

However, one drawback in this match is that both can be very neurotic. They can over-worry, and when they become stressed, they tend to stop reasoning and get into doom loops, which can be a problem. Both of these star signs can be slightly pessimistic, so one of them really needs a little bit of Leo, Sagittarius, or Aries influence to keep a positive emotional tone when things get down. 

They can also be workaholics and this is not a couple you’ll find lying on a beach in a hammock in the Caribbean very often. They won’t be doing many cruises; they’ll prefer working holidays or sightseeing trips. Both struggle to relax, so a big lesson in this astrology match is knowing when to switch off. 

Strengths and Challenges 

Mutual admiration and trust are built from both having a conscientious, diligent, and serious aspect to their relationships. They both tend to be organised, punctual, and considerate of other people, and a high degree of self-respect plays into both respecting each other. 

Neither does half measures as when they do something, they do it properly. That means they will work hard at communication, at building a marriage, and at making their sex life as fulfilling as it can be. They’re fairly compatible sexually, but there could be some improvements that make it even better – and being perfectionists, they’ll aim to please. 

They complement each other well. Virgo is more adaptable, tolerant, and logical. Scorpio tends to be more courageous, determined, and good in a crisis. Scorpio can make tough decisions and has strong gut instincts, while Virgo can analyse and make sense of things. This is a couple that can work through most of life’s problems. 

While they are deeply committed to each other, this is not really a lovey-dovey relationship. They may not be very affectionate; they’re often more focused on work and the practical side of the relationship. While their sex life is good, sometimes there’s a gap in emotional nourishment in day-to-day life. 

Both can be quite cool and aloof, and since they like their own company, they need a little space. They shouldn’t be threatened when either wants independence, but Scorpio can find it hard to give Virgo that space, leading to double standards. 

The relationship can have cool periods where not a lot is going on affectionately or sexually, but there can be other periods where it’s very hot. The relationship will have a slow start because both don’t want to reveal themselves too soon and can be a bit reticent about opening up.

Both these zodiac signs can be workaholics, and since both are perfectionists, things can get a little OCD. They have to guard against that! They need to know when to switch off and understand what’s truly important. They can’t get bogged down in the small print; they have to see the bigger picture of their lives. 

Final Verdict 

I feel really excited about this cosmic match which is why it has a 75% rating. In fact, I’ve relished describing it because it is extremely unique. We have two zodiac signs who have many specific things in common, yet there are intriguing differences as well. 

This relationship works in terms of communication, sexuality, and pragmatism. It’s not necessarily the most affectionate relationship, and both may not fully lean into their emotional sides here. They both have to practise self-care and be emotionally self-sufficient because neither can totally cater to the other’s need for empathetic, unconditional love. 

However, both are going to feel fairly satisfied and happy in this match, and it’s a successful one for raising a family too. Scorpio doesn’t often lose their temper with Virgo, and Virgo finds it fairly easy to communicate with Scorpio. 

This match is even better when third decan Virgo is with Scorpio, or when second decan Scorpio is with Virgo. 

One of the problems in this relationship is pessimism, overwork, and becoming obsessive, so these two need helpful family members who can step in to relieve the pressure and provide perspective. Good friends will play the same valuable role. 

Any star sign match is, of course, modified greatly by the Ascendant, Moon, and Venus signs — which will give more bearing on affectionate, sexual, and spiritual compatibility.
