How these two meet
Virgo and Scorpio: a receipt on the side since Tuesday, and it is entirely innocent.
A receipt on the side, from a restaurant neither of you has mentioned. Virgo saw it on Tuesday, priced it, worked out who it was probably with, and put it back exactly where it was, at the same angle.
Scorpio saw Virgo see it. Scorpio has known since Tuesday that Virgo knows, has said nothing, and is waiting to find out how long Virgo will hold it. It is now Sunday. The receipt is entirely innocent.
Mercury turns back three times a year over ground it has already crossed, and Virgo has now been over Tuesday about forty times. Mars runs 2.13 years between reversals and gives no signal before it turns, so Scorpio is not deciding anything yet, in the particular way that somebody who has already decided is not deciding anything.
Neither of you is going to open this. Between a mutable sign and a fixed one there is no cardinal modality at all, so the receipt stays on the side until one of you moves it, and moving it will not be starting the conversation either.
What does the other one do that you have never once asked about?
For Virgo, the work is asking the small factual question on the day, before it has been rehearsed forty times and turned into an accusation.
For Scorpio, the work is volunteering the boring explanation before it is requested, which will feel like giving up a position.
And a third: waiting to see who breaks first is a game you are both extremely good at and neither of you enjoys.
Mercury crosses the same ground three times a year and Mars gives no warning before it turns, and between you there is a house where the accurate one waits and the patient one watches.
How long has the receipt been on the side, and what would it cost either of you to pick it up?
60 degrees apart
Sixty degrees apart, two signs along, and one of the five classical aspects. Signs at this distance always share a polarity, active with active or receptive with receptive, so their elements are the pair that gets on: fire with air, or earth with water. What they never share is modality. The agreement is about temperature and the argument is about pace.

A sign is still a general lens: it says nothing about where your Moon or your Venus actually fell. A synastry report reads your two real birth charts against each other, with the aspects that are genuinely there.
