Scorpio's gift for saying startlingly true things may overwhelm the guarded Virgo. And if Virgo turns a critical eye on Scorpio, the latter has been known to escalate the conflict with a few observations of their own. Both can dish it out, but neither takes it very well. Being in the spotlight triggers defensive behavior. They'll need to learn when to offer criticism, and when to bolster the other with support.
Virgo admires the Scorpio ability to hone in on one life goal at a time. Both like to stay productive, and work toward tangible goals. Scorpio is reassured by the Virgo's need for daily structure, and the need for solitude gives Scorpio time to do their own thing, as well. To Scorpio, nervous Virgo may seem all-over-the-place, unable to find traction for their goals. An unevolved Scorpio could take advantage of an insecure Virgo, and wield a kind of dark psychic power that 'bad Scorpios' are infamous for. At its extreme, you've got master and servant dynamics that potentially bring out the worst in both.
Virgo needs full disclosure and honesty, once the trust is established, and this means Scorpio regularly goes beyond the comfort zone. But when Scorpio has found a loyal Virgo mate, there's a chance that openness becomes the norm. Intimacy brings out the passions of Scorpio, while Virgo shows a quieter sensual nature. But both appreciate technical prowess, making their sex life an area of growth toward mastery. There are built-in challenges here, but a tendency of both to mate for life increasing their chances for an enduring love.
