Virgo & Scorpio as Friends/Colleagues

Comfortable 

This relationship is as comfortable as your favorite pair of shoes. Scorpio is awed by your meticulous intellect, by the way you connect dots that he often doesn't see and by your ability to sift through information at lightning speed.

You admire Scorpio's depth, intuitive insights and his ability to research and dig and probe for the answers he needs. Whatever eccentricities you both have are neatly inte-grated into the friendship. 

The one possible rough spot in this relation-ship is your tendency to critique and perfect. It's one thing when it's directed at you, but 

Scorpio won't appreciate it when he's on the receiving end. And you may not appreciate Scorpio's analysis of your motives or his dis-section of your psyche. Those things aside, this relationship is one to relish. 

Taboos 

Not many taboos exist in this relationship. You and Scorpio understand each other well enough to know when to back off or to move ahead, what to avoid and what is welcome or not. From an astrological perspective, it's the compatibility of earth and water that prob-ably accounts for it. But because we all need reminders from time to time, here is the bigger picture for both of you. 

Virgo Taboos That Scorpio Should Avoid 

Mean -spirited comments or sarcasm about something Virgo is doing or creating or about some facet of her personality 

• F. Being made the butt of a joke 
• Rudeness in any form 
• Attempts to control her 
• Lack of appreciation for her contributions as a colleague 

Scorpio Taboos That Virgo Should Avoid 

• F. Critiques about Scorpio's partner or an-other loved one 
• Analysis of her behavior or attitude 
• Obsessiveness. This one is somewhat ironic, since she can sometimes be obsessive about work, love and life itself. 

What to Expect 

Who can you call at four in the morning when you're in a quiet panic? Scorpio. The reverse is also true. When either of you needs a friend to unload on, you are there for each other. Com-passion is intricately woven into this relationship and is the foundation for everything else that unfolds. 

As a mutable sign, you're more flexible than Scorpio, and it's easier for you to adapt to a fluid situation—like a panicked call at 4:00 a.m. If you're the one who is calling Scorpio in that darkest pocket of the night, the sound of her calm voice and her reassurance that it's all going to be okay will soothe you quickly. Here are some other things you can each expect.

From Scorpio

Probing questions about the nature of reality Intuitive knowledge and insight Deep reservoirs of creativity
