Virgo and Scorpio measure risk differently. Virgo usually notices risks and difficulties before acting: that can protect them from hasty decisions, though it can also tie them to the familiar. Scorpio, when passionate about a project, may take the leap before weighing all the consequences.
Virgo will hardly stop Scorpio once Scorpio has made up their mind. Instead, Virgo can lean on Scorpio’s initiative to go a little beyond their own fears and see possibilities they would only analyze from the outside.
Scorpio’s shifts in enthusiasm can be bewildering for Virgo. Scorpio’s disposition varies with the interest and challenge they find in what they do, while Virgo wants a more predictable continuity.
Understanding that difference lets them tell a contribution of caution from an attempt to hold back. It also lets them tell the drive to undertake something from a decision that leaves the partner not knowing what to expect.
