Virgo and Scorpio compatibility

Virgo and Scorpio are two signs apart on the wheel, a sextile of about 60°: earth and water, one mutable and one fixed. Astrology reads the angle between two Sun signs as the first measure of a pair, and the rest of the two charts as the rest of the story.

This year the Sun is in Virgo from 23 August to 23 September and in Scorpio from 23 October to 22 November. 5 famous couples in StarMap's dataset are a Virgo and a Scorpio, where chance would give about 7.4: Leonardo DiCaprio and Blake Lively, Cameron Diaz and Sean Combs and Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively among them. Among the 537 couples with both Sun signs certain, that makes this the 55th most common pairing of the 78. A Sun sign is one placement of ten, and the two whole charts say far more than the two signs.

Each sign has its own page: Virgo and Scorpio, with its dates to the minute, its traits and the famous people born under it.

What astrology reads for Virgo and Scorpio

Two signs apart is the sextile, and astrology reads it as the angle of easy conversation. The signs belong to elements that feed each other, fire with air or earth with water, so the two people tend to want compatible things without wanting the same thing. The tradition reads the pairing as friendly first: it is the angle most often found between people who liked each other before anything else was decided.

Because the sextile asks little, it is also the angle the tradition says can be left to drift. There is no friction to work against and no mirror to look into, so the relationship tends to be as warm as the attention it is given. Astrologers read it as an opportunity rather than a pull, and look to the rest of the two charts for whatever holds the pair together when the conversation stops.

Earth with water

Earth with water is read as the gentlest of the mixed pairings: water feels and earth holds, and each tends to make the other feel safe. The tradition reads these two as home-makers in the broad sense, slow, loyal and private, with an ease that other pairs work for. The reading's caution is that comfort can become a habit, and that the pair may let the wider world go quiet around them.

Mutable with fixed

One sign is fixed and one is mutable, a keeper with an adapter. In the tradition the fixed sign gives the relationship its shape and the mutable sign its give; the strain is read as each mistaking the other's nature for a choice, the fixed sign taking flexibility for drift and the mutable sign taking steadiness for refusal.

These are readings of the Sun signs alone, written for reflection and entertainment. They describe tendencies the tradition assigns to an angle, not two people, and they do not say whether a pair lasts.

Virgo in love, Scorpio in love

Virgo

In love, Virgo shows care by being useful: the fixed tap, the sorted problem, the remembered preference. It is slower to speak of feeling than to act on it, and it can mistake improving a partner for loving them. Its lesson is to accept being looked after as well as it looks after others.

Scorpio

In love, Scorpio does not do casual well. It wants the whole person and offers the same, and it reads a partner closely enough to be unnerving. Betrayal is not forgiven quickly. Its lesson is that intimacy needs some air, and that loyalty cannot be proved by jealousy.

523 famous people have the Sun in Virgo for certain and 466 in Scorpio: every Virgo Sun and every Scorpio Sun, each with a birth chart.

Famous Virgo and Scorpio couples

Of the 537 spouse and partner pairs in StarMap’s dataset whose Sun signs are both certain, 5 are Virgo and Scorpio. From the share of each sign among every couple’s members, chance alone would give about 7.4, a ratio of 0.68, which makes this the 55th most common pairing of the 78. Their sky match, from the angles between the two charts, averages 68 out of 100 against 67 for every couple counted. With about seven couples a cell, a ratio between a half and double is what chance produces; the counts describe the dataset, not the signs.

All famous couples, each scored from both birth charts.

Both signs in one chart

The two signs also meet inside one chart, when the Sun is in one and the Moon in the other. Astrologers read a Sun and Moon two signs apart the way they read the two Suns above, as a sextile between how a person is seen and how they feel.

Only people whose Sun and Moon signs do not depend on an unknown birth time are counted. The Moon in Scorpio and the Moon in Virgo have pages of their own.

Sun signs are computed from the Sun’s position with the astronomy-engine ephemeris, checked against Swiss Ephemeris, in the tropical zodiac. Birth data and relationship data come from Wikidata; birth times, where StarMap has one, from Astro-Databank with their Rodden rating. A couple is counted only when the Sun was in one sign for the whole of each birth date. Readings describe what the tradition assigns to an angle, for entertainment and self-reflection; StarMap predicts nothing. Compare two whole charts.
