There are times when Scorpio strides fearlessly into a challenging situation, and Virgo feels much more cautious and careful. Scorpio may consider Virgo to be too timid, and Virgo may feel that Scorpio lacks prudence. There are also many situations where Scorpio is more stubborn and persevering that Virgo. Scorpio may view Virgo's lack of commitment and dedication to a single purpose to be a sign of weakness. There is also the possibility that Virgo will view Scorpio as being a bit crude, too passionate or emotionally attached to certain situations or ideas. Virgo has refined sensitivities and sometimes literally doesn't like to get "dirty hands", while Scorpio is more primitive, raw, and unsqueamish. You both need to strive to harmonise your different natures and not antagonise each other.

Scorpio is quiet, deep, and complex emotionally, and often hides feelings or jealousy, guilt, and other powerful emotions out of fear of being misunderstood. Scorpio needs passion, drama, and intensity in order to feel completely alive, and may intentionally or unintentionally stir up personal crises or emotional storms in order to have those feelings. There is an underlying attraction to anything secret, dark, and mysterious, including the hidden or dark side of people. Negatively, Scorpio can be subtly manipulative and controlling, positively, Scorpio can be immensely loyal, and deep and faithful friend or lover.

Virgo is quite different from Scorpio in that Virgo responds logically and rationally to situations, rather than irrationally and instinctively as Scorpio does. There may be something in Virgo's background or in the way Virgo was raised that makes Virgo careful, shy, or restrained about being too emotional or sexual, and Scorpio's very intense feelings may be difficult for Virgo to understand or enter into.

Also, Virgo is quite self-critical and is therefore very sensitive to criticism from others, so Scorpio should be careful of lashing out or being sarcastic when in a stormy mood, as this hurts Virgo very much.

The two of you do share a tendency to probe and analyse yourselves and others, and a desire to change and improve yourselves as well.

Virgo's emotional responses to Scorpio are very intense. If Scorpio is physically attractive to Virgo, then the attractive power of Scorpio over Virgo is extremely powerful. However, the attraction tends to have a love/hate quality to it, and you feel drawn to each other, but also wary and distrustful of each other. It is likely that you feel both drawn to each other and repulsed by each other at the same time! The emotional response to each other is intense and complex, and the ultimate outcome of this deep, complex emotional tie is difficult to predict, but one thing is certain: this is not a lukewarm relationship and you "get under each other's skin", evoking intense feelings from each other. Virgo can easily become obsessed with Scorpio.

Romantic feelings are strong and you are very compatible sexually. It is unlikely that the feeling of being "in love" will ever fade completely, and it is likely that you will both see each other as someone very special and dear to you throughout your lives. Your relationship is definitely warm and romantic and very fulfilling for both of you.

The sexual attraction goes off with a "bang". You both arouse one another deeply. You are able to express your love with great conviction. You may enjoy many erotic devices and love toys that add extra spice to the relationship. Love talk and verbal affection may be particularly important to you.

The tendency to argumentativeness, verbal abuse, and mutual misunderstanding is very strong. Try to avoid abusive language towards each other, and do not try to coerce the other person to accept your views. You enjoy challenging each other's ideas, showing the weaknesses, inconsistencies, or superficialities in each other's reasoning. While the intention is good, the net result can be hurt feelings and anger. Typically there is some truth to each other's point of view, but a lack of real appreciation and respect for each other's ideas triggers argumentativeness.

Longevity, stability, mutual conscientiousness and dedication are essential aspects of your relationship. The two of you can build something very solid together. A focus on the practical, on financial security, and on taking care of duties, obligations, and responsibilities permeates your bond with one another. You foster the conservative in one another, and develop a togetherness that is peaceful, steady, more inclined to contentment than to flamboyance or fireworks. The only pitfall in all of this is a tendency to fall into established patterns of being with one another which eventually become too predictable and too easy to take for granted. Nevertheless you are destined to have a long-lasting relationship.

The two of you spark each other's sense of humour and good will. You usually put each other into a good mood, and you can count on lots of laughter, fun, and socialising to develop from this relationship. You feel open and uninhibited with each other, and a great appreciation for each other grows out of your happy times together.
