Virgo and Scorpio compatibility
Two Moon signs fix 8.5–9.5 of the 36 gun milan points; depending on the nakshatras, the full score runs from 12 to 29. Every number is computed by our kundli-matching code — no guessed percentage.
Moon signs, not Sun signs
Most pages you find for “Virgo and Scorpio compatibility” are about Western Sun signs — the Sun's sign on your birthday, in the tropical zodiac — and many add a percentage no rule produces. This page uses the Vedic Moon sign (rashi): the sign the Moon was in at birth, in the sidereal (Lahiri) zodiac. For most people the two are different signs, and gun milan is built on the Moon sign and nakshatra.
The points the signs fix
| Koota | Max | Groom Virgo, bride Scorpio | Groom Scorpio, bride Virgo |
|---|---|---|---|
| Varna | 1 | 0 | 1 |
| Vashya | 2 | 1 | 1 |
| Graha Maitri | 5 | 0.5 | 0.5 |
| Bhakoot | 7 | 7 | 7 |
| Fixed by the signs | 15 | 8.5 | 9.5 |
| Tara + yoni + gana + nadi (need nakshatras) | 21 | 3.5–19.5 | 3.5–19.5 |
| Full score — possible range | 36 | 12–28 | 13–29 |
Traditional gun milan reads some kootas (varna, gana) from the groom's side to the bride's, so both directions are shown. The ranges come from running every nakshatra these two signs can hold (and both vashya halves of Sagittarius and Capricorn) through our kundli-matching code.

Match two kundlisVirgo and Scorpio: the traditional reading
Element and nature
An earth Moon with a water Moon. Tradition counts this among the easy pairings of element: water nourishes earth, earth gives water a shape. Security and care tend to be shared values. One fixed sign and one dual: steadiness on one side, flexibility on the other. (Virgo: earth, dual; Scorpio: water, fixed.)
The lords' friendship
Virgo is ruled by Mercury, Scorpio by Mars. In natural friendship Mercury counts Mars as neutral, and Mars counts Mercury as an enemy — neutral and enemy. That gives graha maitri 0.5 of 5, read as how easily the two minds meet.
Bhakoot: 3/11
The signs are third and eleventh from each other — the houses of effort and of gains. Bhakoot gives the full 7; tradition reads a pairing that supports each other's work and friendships. (Scorpio is the 3rd sign from Virgo, and Virgo the 11th from Scorpio.)
Varna and vashya
Varna follows the Moon sign's element (water Brahmin, fire Kshatriya, earth Vaishya, air Shudra — classical labels for temperament, not the person's caste): Virgo is Vaishya, Scorpio is Brahmin. Varna is read one way — 1 point when the groom's varna is equal to or higher than the bride's — so it scores 0 when the groom's Moon is in Virgo and 1 when it is in Scorpio. Vashya groups: Virgo human (manav), Scorpio insect (keeta) — 1 of 2.
What stays unknown without the nakshatras
Of the 36 points, 15 (varna, vashya, graha maitri, bhakoot) are fixed by the two Moon signs alone; for Virgo and Scorpio they come to 8.5–9.5. The other 21 (tara, yoni, gana, nadi) depend on the birth nakshatras — across every nakshatra these two signs can hold, they range 3.5–19.5. So the full score can be anywhere from 12 to 29. Some nakshatra pairings fall below the traditional line of 18 and some clear it — so the signs alone cannot answer the question.
Nadi (8 points) is the heaviest koota and depends entirely on the nakshatras. Between these signs, these nakshatra pairings share a nadi and score 0 for it: Uttara Phalguni – Jyeshtha; Hasta – Jyeshtha; Chitra – Anuradha. Every other pairing gets the full 8.
| Nakshatra | Vishakha | Anuradha | Jyeshtha |
|---|---|---|---|
| Uttara Phalguni | 18 | 26 | 13(nadi) |
| Hasta | 20 | 26 | 13(nadi) |
| Chitra | 28 | 12(nadi) | 25 |
| Nakshatra | Uttara Phalguni | Hasta | Chitra |
|---|---|---|---|
| Vishakha | 19 | 21 | 29 |
| Anuradha | 28 | 27 | 13(nadi) |
| Jyeshtha | 14(nadi) | 14(nadi) | 26 |
Tradition takes 18 or more as acceptable; cells below 18 are shown lighter. The number alone decides nothing — the exceptions, both whole charts and, above all, the two people matter.
Frequently asked questions
Are Virgo and Scorpio compatible in Vedic astrology?
The signs alone cannot say. 8.5–9.5 of the 36 gun milan points are fixed by the two Moon signs (bhakoot relation: 3/11); depending on the nakshatras, the full score can be anywhere from 12 to 29. For the exact score, match both birth charts.
Why do other sites give a compatibility percentage?
No rule of gun milan produces a percentage for a pair of signs. We show only what the calculation gives: the points the signs fix, and the range of the points that depend on the nakshatras.
Is this about Sun signs?
No. This uses the Vedic Moon sign — the Moon's sign at birth, sidereal (Lahiri). Find yours with the free kundli or the rashi calculator.
