Virgo notices the inconsistency in what was said; Scorpio notices the reason for it. Between them very little gets past, and both find that restful after the company of people who need to be reassured.\n\nSixty degrees separates them, which is a sextile, and the two elements involved feed each other rather than clash. The pair fits together with very little effort on either side. Both are private, both are unsentimental in public, and neither requires the other to be cheerful on demand or to explain a bad mood before it has been understood.",[12,15,18],{"heading":13,"body":14},"Two kinds of investigation","Virgo works from the evidence: what was said, what was done, whether the numbers add up. Scorpio works from motive: why this person needs the story to be true.\n\nUsed together the two methods are formidable, which is why this pairing tends to be right about other people well before anyone else and to be quietly disliked for it.",{"heading":16,"body":17},"Privacy, shared","Neither of these two discusses their own business widely, and both find that quality reassuring in the other.\n\nThe household is discreet: family difficulties are not shared at dinner parties, money is nobody else's affair, and both regard a partner who overshares as a genuine liability.\n\nThe cost is that neither has much practice at speaking about a difficulty even inside the pair, and the habit of containment applies to each other as easily as it applies to strangers.",{"heading":19,"body":20},"Mutable and fixed","Virgo adapts and Scorpio holds, so in practice Scorpio's position sets the terms and Virgo adjusts around it.\n\nThat is comfortable until the day Virgo has adjusted as far as it goes and states a firm position of their own — which Scorpio, having read the situation as settled, did not see coming at all.","The rub is that Virgo treats a problem as a fault to be corrected and Scorpio treats it as a signal about the relationship. So Virgo offers a practical remedy and Scorpio hears the real subject being avoided.\n\nThe second rub is suspicion. Scorpio's questions can turn into an examination, and Virgo, who is scrupulous and slightly anxious by default, responds to being examined with defensiveness that reads exactly like guilt.\n\nNeither is doing anything wrong. What clears it is speed: this is one of the pairings that should raise a difficulty within the week, since both are extremely good at storing one indefinitely.",[23,26,29,32],{"q":24,"a":25},"Are Virgo and Scorpio compatible?","They are a strong and quiet combination, and the strength is in judgement rather than in warmth. Discretion, loyalty and a shared dislike of nonsense come easily. What has to be built is the habit of saying a difficult thing early, because both are practised at not saying it at all.",{"q":27,"a":28},"Why do Virgo and Scorpio trust each other?","Because neither performs and both check. Trust here is built on observed behaviour rather than on declarations, which suits both signs and takes longer than it does elsewhere. Once given it is unusually durable.",{"q":30,"a":31},"What does a sextile give two signs?","It is 60 degrees between signs whose elements support each other, and it offers cooperation without insisting on it. The pairing has an easy time when it reaches for the advantage and can go a long while without noticing the advantage is there.",{"q":33,"a":34},"Is this pairing too closed off?","It can be, and neither would call it a problem. Both keep their own counsel by default, so the pair's difficulties are handled privately or not at all. Friends often know very little, which suits the two of them and leaves nobody to notice when something is wrong.","b",1789041547785]
