Yes, and with less effort than most pairs need. Sixty degrees apart, this is a Sextile: there is nothing in Virgo for Scorpio to overcome, and nothing that happens by itself either. Somebody has to start, and it tends to be the same one every time.
Earth and Water pull the same way here. Virgo keeps the flat and the paperwork honest, Scorpio keeps the conversation honest, and a vague answer satisfies neither. What surfaces late is that the two of them go quiet for different reasons.
Virgo and Scorpio notice different things
Virgo sees the unwashed pan and the licence that expired in March. Scorpio never looks at the pan and hears instead that a voice dropped half a tone over dinner.
Between them almost nothing slips past, which makes the house calm and makes lying pointless. Nobody gets to hide a bad day behind the word fine.
The angle between Virgo and Scorpio
Virgo and Scorpio stand 60° apart on the zodiac wheel, and astrology calls that distance the Sextile. The angle never changes: it is the same for every pair of these two signs, whatever else the two charts hold.
Earth and Water are the classically supportive elements: each one gives the other what it does not produce on its own.
Mutable and Fixed are two different speeds: one sets the pace, the other decides how long it lasts.
The pair has two rulers, Mercury and Pluto, and each side reads the relationship through its own.
Where this pair rubs
It breaks the same way every time. Virgo says out loud what has been noticed, Scorpio takes it as a verdict and files it away.
Second comes the closed subject. An old relationship, a health scare, money owed to a relative: Scorpio opens those on a chosen day, and a question asked earlier reads as an inspection.
Two habits hold it together. Point the remark at the object rather than the person, «the mug is on the sill» instead of «you always». And when the quiet runs past a day, ask one direct question about what is going on. Scorpio answers a direct question and refuses a guess.
Savings here look after themselves
Spending on nothing appeals to neither, and money put aside stays aside for years. The argument is never the amount, it is the access: Scorpio wants to know where each transfer went, Virgo keeps a private spreadsheet and hates being read over the shoulder. The joint account arrives years late, and it is what finally settles the question.
A row here goes underwater
The Virgo remark arrives sideways and unplanned: the shirt folded wrong, the mug left on the sill. There is no malice in it and it is gone in a minute.
Scorpio does not forget. Nothing comes back out loud, the evening simply turns polite, and the politeness holds for two or three days.
When it does open, it is not about the mug. By then Scorpio is carrying six months of small entries.
Compare the real charts
A Sun sign is only the outline. A synastry chart puts two full birth charts side by side — Moon, Venus, Mars and the houses — and shows where the two of you actually meet.

Answers
Virgo and Scorpio: common questions
They do, and quickly. Standards for tidiness and for honesty sit at about the same height, and four friends beat forty for both. The hard part is not the difference, it is the habit of keeping things back.
Checking more often than jealous. Virgo answers in detail and in facts, which usually settles it. The trouble starts when Virgo deflects with a joke, because Scorpio fills the gap alone and fills it badly.
The team is a strong one. Scorpio holds the goal and will not let it go, Virgo takes the work to finished. Splitting one task down the middle goes worse than handing Virgo a defined piece with a date on it.
Not a fight, the silence between fights. Each decides the other should work it out unaided, and a month goes by. A question asked out loud on the first evening closes it in half an hour.
