Two mutable signs squaring off over the details.

Scores are calculated from sun-sign astrology alone: the angle between the two signs on the zodiac wheel, their elements and their modalities. A full birth chart includes the Moon, Venus, Mars and the houses, and can shift this picture considerably.
Virgo and Sagittarius — the verdict
Mercury against Jupiter: one narrows, the other expands. Sagittarius makes the sweeping claim, Virgo checks it, and both find the other's habit exasperating. Because both are mutable, neither entrenches for long — the arguments are frequent and rarely fatal. The real issue is that Virgo needs reliability and Sagittarius offers enthusiasm instead.
