Are Virgo and Scorpio a love match, better as just friends, or a doomed intense karmic bond?
A Virgo Scorpio relationship can be a very fulfilling union, but relationships are complex. How a Virgo Scorpio couple communicate and work together, what their romance and sex life would be like, and the argument and apology style of both signs plays a big role. But at the end of the day, strong ties in a relationship are rooted in shared goals, so let's see how these two zodiac signs fair.
Scorpio and Virgo Compatibility
When using astrology to judge the compatibility of two people it's a lot more complex than comparing just our two signs, in fact the best thing to do is compare and contrast all the signs in your charts with your partner's.
This article will be valuable if you or your partner have a Scorpio or Virgo sun, moon, rising, Mercury, Venus or Mars. The characteristics of these signs show up differently depending on where they are in your chart, but think of this as your quick cheat sheet to understanding your zodiac sign compatibility.
Communication
compatibility rating: 8/10
Virgo is ruled by Mercury, which is literally the planet of communication, so this is definitely a strong suit for this earth sign. The thing about Virgos communication style is that it is incredibly thorough, so if you ask a person with heavy Virgo placements a question they will start at the dawn of time and give you every possible answer.
Scorpio communication on the other hand is more mysterious. Scorpio prefers to withhold information, unless it's on their own terms. Scorpio people do have a knack for getting to the bottom of things and finding out the truth in any given situation. If there's anyone in the group who knows everyone's dark secrets it's your Scorpio friend with their strong intuition.
KEY TAKEAWAY
- As friends these two will hit it off quickly with Scorpio being all ears for Virgo. At the same time, for a more serious relationship, they will both need to work to open up and have more emotional conversations.
Team Work
compatibility rating: 7/10
Virgo is detail oriented and one of the hardest working signs. Being ruled by Mercury, Virgos tend to strive for perfection and stress over every detail, much to their own chagrin at times. Scorpio is a fixed sign, so they have a fiery determination. They tend to be in it for the long haul when it comes to a project or a labor of love.
Virgo and Scorpio share a mutual determination when it comes to working towards something. This can create very strong ties in friendship or love, so long as they have the same end goal.
KEY TAKEAWAY
- In a relationship setting, these signs can definitely admire one another's demanding work ethic; both will work hard to build a strong relationship.
Romance
Compatibility rating: 8/10
Scorpio is a water sign, so love is deep and intense. They want to merge souls in this life, which admittedly isn't everyone's idea of a good time. For Virgo, like most earth signs, love is practical first and foremost. They have a list of needs that must be met in a potential suitor, and if you don't cut it they aren't going to waste their time.
I mean, some Virgos do fall prey to the toxically romanticized idea of trying to "fix" the people they date, but that's the different story.
Behind the practical list of needs, every Virgo has a tender heart and is also looking for their one true love-why else would they be so picky? It takes a lot of trust for a Virgo to open up their heart to deep emotions, but if they do fall for a passionate Scorpio they are in luck because they will never have to date ever again.
KEY TAKEAWAY
- If a Scorpio partner can give their Virgo partner a bit of patience and grace, this can blossom into a Morticia and Gomez Addams style relationship!
Sex
compatibility rating: 10/10
Trust me, this is a match made in sexual heaven. Virgo and Scorpio compatibility in the bedroom is passionate!
Scorpio, in medical astrology, rules over the sex organs, so it's common for Scorpios to have a natural sexuality and a healthy sexual appetite. You might assume that earth sign Virgo is a prude, but you'd be very wrong. Virgo people are perfectionists and they take that energy to the bedroom where they will try anything once, with the ultimate goal being to please their lover.
KEY TAKEAWAY
- Nothing is sexier in this world than the bed these two share. Scorpio has all the fun ideas and Virgo has the tenacity and the will power to make dreams come true!
Arguments
compatibility rating: 3/10
Scorpio is the type to know exactly the one thing to say to emotionally or mentally break you, luckily Virgo is actually a bit harder to break than the other signs. Not saying it can't be done of course, just that even if it worked they'd never give Scorpio the satisfaction of knowing it.
Despite being a mutable sign, Virgo tends to have this one little character flaw of always needing to be right, and they have a hard time accepting that they are anything but. So you see how that can pose a problem in a relationship, right?
KEY TAKEAWAY
- Virgo and Scorpio are both headstrong people, it's what makes them a good match actually, but they need to learn to follow this simple rule in their relationships: fight clean and make love dirty.
Conflict Resolution
compatibility rating: 5/10
One thing we've learned about Virgo is their commitment to always being right, which can definitely pose an issue when it comes to making amends. Virgos, it's about learning that just because you're right, it doesn't mean that everyone else is wrong!
Scorpio placement issues have to do with running before they can get hurt. Scorpios can sometimes assert their independence as a defense mechanism. If they can run from hurt before it happens then they can feel a sense of control.
It can be dangerously easy to mess up the connection built in the early stages of this relationship because pride won't allow Virgo or Scorpio to compromise. All relationships take work, feelings will get hurt, but Scorpio and Virgo compatibility is a strong bond that needs strong healing.
KEY TAKEAWAY
- Healthy conflict resolution for these two signs requires humility and deep self reflection, Virgo and Scorpio need to remember their common goal and not their differences.
Values
Compatibility rating: 9/10
The thing Scorpio values most at the end of the day is honesty; the deeper and darker the better. They don't like small talk, they want real and raw and gritty. We also have to remember that Scorpio is a water sign, so emotional honesty is most important for this sign.
While gritty isn't a word most would use to describe Virgos, they also value the truth very highly in their life. Their truth is a bit more straight forward and to the point, but they are attracted to honest people. Virgo also tends to place a high value on practicality and alone time (of which Scorpio also needs).
KEY TAKEAWAY
- Both are extremely loyal and honest people looking for a partner who can match their values.
