Scorpio Compatibilities

SCORPIO COMPATIBILITIES

Scorpio-Aries

This relatonship can start with great hope and excitement.  Both partners are extremely passionate, but in very different ways.  Scorpio respects the direct, forceful and physically energetic style of Aries. Aries is attracted to the intensity and strength of Scorpio. If there are other complimentary aspects within the charts, this can be a successful match.  If Scorpio is too secretive or controling, things can deteriorate to a very unpleasant standoff. Aries needs to take the lead and will not be told what to do.  If Aries is allowed a good deal of freedom and respect, they can be the most loyal and romatic of mates.  Scorpio’s emotional nature and sharp tongue may be a bit of a mystery or a pain to firey Aries. Scorpio may resent a person who is so headstrong. Be willing to respect each other’s differences. This relationship works best if you each have independent areas of interest and control.

Scorpio-Taurus

This attraction of opposites can be a wonderful match: if you are both willing to compromise.  Sensual and down to earth Taurus is a great match for a Scorpio who thrives on intimacy through ruthless honesty. Taurus can draw Scorpio out to play in a way that is more simple and less tortured. Intimacy can grow when you share a mutual appreciation of what you can taste, touch, and smell.  Scorpio’s loyalty and depth of feeling resonates with the Taurian desire to create something stable and lasting.  Both are very possesive signs.  It can be a relationship with many fights.  In a crisis you will stand together against the world. The big danger in this combination is becoming stuck in toxic standoff that neither person can leave or repair. Taurus clings to fixed habits.  Scorpio is interested in power and control. They both tend to reject any new idea that is not their own.  When making decisions, look for solutions that give both sides what they want. 

Scorpio-Gemini

This almost legendary mix that breaks all the rules of attraction.  Restless, changeable and chatty Gemini is often facinated by the quiet and mysterious emotional depths of Scorpio.  In turn, self sufficient and intense Scorpio is energised and inspired by Gemini’s love of ideas and information. This is almost like an interspecies love: the owl and the pussycat.  Sometimes you will bounce off each other and never connect.  But if there is a connection, this can be a lasting and incredibly loving and romantic mix.  This is truly a relationship that takes work. Scorpio restless Gemini stability and opens up the world of feelings. Gemini brings variety and shows stubborn Scorpio the importance of talking things out.  There is a mutual appreciation of each other’s interests and gifts. Gemini Prince Ranier of Monaco and Scorpio Actress Grace Kelly shared a fairly tale courtship, years of estrangement, and ultimately a deep sense of connection. 

Scorpio-Cancer

This blending of two Water signs is one of the most harmonious combinations.   There is a feeling of comfort and harmony between you.  It is very easy to set up a happy domestic life together.  The biggest risk between you is your shared hesitation to talk about your deepest feelings.  If you really care, you must be as open and honest as possible.  Scorpio needs to realize Cancer is very sensitive and cannot take too much verbal sparing.  Cancer needs to understand Scorpio is stubborn and headstrong: sometimes taking extra time to see your point of view.  But Scorpio can give Cancer a wonderful feeling of emotional security.  Cancer can give Scorpio deep love and support a base of operations.  This is a romantic mix, but you must take time to do romantic things just for yourselves alone. If you both work to let the other person know how much they mean to you, this can be the happiest of relationships.

Scorpio-Leo

Don’t even go here!  At best this is a passionate and highly unrealistic affair. Both sides are very proud and unwilling to compromise. You may not find this out until you are already deeply involved.  It is the sort of mix that you should consider when you hear someone talking about the ex from hell.  Leo is one of the most warm and fun loving of signs.  Most Scorpios are terribly loyal and wonderful friends.  What’s not to like?  Well the fact that Leo IS royalty and needs to be admired.  Scorpio does not easily give compliments.  In fact they are more likely to make well targeted and cutting remarks. Scorpio’s’ quiet intensity may seem like disloyalty and disinterest to Leo.  While it can work as a friendship, if you are too close or too intimate, fights over who is in control are likely.  This really is a situation were you are best advised to look but not touch.

Scorpio-Virgo

You can be the best of friends.  Virgo is tolerant of Scorpio’s quirks and appreciates their serious and passionate feelings.  Scorpio will take the lead in this mix.  Virgo doesn't mind playing the support role.  Virgos have plenty of their own interests and don’t feel threateded by Scorpio’s insistence of having things their way.  There is an easy flow of feeling between these two signs.  Both have a practical and no nonsense approach to life.  Both enjoy domestic concerns.  Behind closed doors they can love with a white heat that others would envy.  There will be fights: but usually these are short and not deeply disruptive. Virgo needs to avoid criticism and obsessive worry. Scorpio needs to say only half of what they are thinking. There is some risk of this relationship becoming all work and no play.  Take time to have fun together on a regular basis.

Scorpio-Libra

If there are other harmonious aspects in the chart, this can be a wonderful and deeply loving combination.  Libra brings an appreciation of beauty and and desire to mix with people. Scorpio brings depth of feeling and a results oriented focus. This can be a highly romantic mix full of fun and good humor.  Like most relationships, it will take some patience and compromise.  Scorpio can find Libra’s inability to make a decision rather frustrating.  Scorpio may also be surprized at how strong and unbending their diplomatic and peace loving friend can be.  Scorpio’s stubbon insistence on doing things all by themselves rubs Libra the wrong way.  Libra needs to live and work in partnership.  As an Air sign need lots of verbal feedback and communication. They may accuse Scorpio of being unfair. Scorpio may discover Libra is actually running the show by manipulating things behind the scenes. Because this has such good potential, it is worth doing whatever it takes to keep things on track. Your differences can enrich both your lives.

Scorpio-Scorpio

This can be the most passionte and memorable of affairs.  Longer term, the chance of things spiraling out of control is great. Usually this is too much of a good thing: cats in a box. You can’t out-Scorpio a Scorpio.  The intensity, reserve and emotional passion you each bring to the relationship can create an explosion. It can also see you each retire to your own private worlds. Sharing the same weaknesses and strengths, on a good day this can be heaven. When mixing it up in a verbally destructive standoff, this can feel like the lowest depths of hell. Full disclosure without aggression and willingness to compromise are your only hope of success. This highly charged combination takes lots of work.  You can loose your way if hard feelings and old grudges are not surrendered. Be good friends before you try to make this something more. 

Scorpio-Sagittarius

Adjoining signs are sometimes quite compatible.  They may share similar values and a harmonious attitude about life and love.  In this mix there is and equal potential for something to go wrong.  Idealistic Sagittarius is opinionated. Scorpio will be uncompromising. Some Sagittarians run from commitment like it was a bad disease.  Scorpio can be very jealous and possessive. Scorpio may not appreciate a flirty and noncommittal Sag. Take your time if there seems to be good chemistry.  It's very important to talk about what you value in a realtionship and what sort of future you expect.  When this does work, it can be the best of relationships.  Sagittarius is adventurous and can expand Scorpio’s horizons. Scorpio is very caring and focused.  They can bring a welcome anchor to high flying Sagittarian plans. If the chemistry is right, this can be one of the most loving and passionte of connections.

Scorpio-Capricorn

You are both serious, ambitious, and practical people.  This is one of the best combinations for friendship and it can turn into a lasting love affair.  Scorpio will be surprised that they cannot dominate Capricorn.  Practical Goat will mange things and this actually frees up Scorpio to focus on their interests.  Capricorn appears very serious and conservative.  Scorpio may discover a wonderful sense of humor and a deeply sensual nature under all that stuffyness. Generally these are both very loyal signs and you can build a happy life together.  Scorpio brings emotion and passion into Capricorn’s life.  There is a great deal of harmony in terms of how you feel when you are together.  Scorpio will be wise to let Capricorn manage things.  Capricorn needs to understand Scorpio is very stubborn and cannot be pushed into something they don't want to do. Keep negotiating and you will find solutions that work for both of you. This can be a marriage your friends will envy.

Scorpio-Aquarius

This is dangerous ground.  Many times there is a powerful initial attraction between Scorpio and Aquarius. It quickly devolves because you have nothing in common but your stubbornness.  You can find yourself deeply involved before you realize your position.  Because both are Fixed signs, there is a great unwillingness on both sides to compromise in any way.  When this deadlocks, get out fast. Love is not enough. Scorpio can become increasingly reserved and uncommunicative or else lash out. There can be terrible arguments.  On bad days, Scorpio thinks Aquarius is an idiot. Aquarius can be uncomfortable with the emotional quality of Scorpio’s arguments.  Aquarians are thinkers and tend to live in their heads.  Scorpio “flies under the radar” of know-it all Aquarius who assumes if you are talking about it, that is all there is.  You can be excellent friends and enrich each other’s lives to a high degree. But I do recommend against romantic or intimate connections.

Scorpio-Pisces

This is one of the finest combinations for a happy and lasting relationship.  Both are hightly inutive water signs. There is a shared understanding of the depths of intimate feeling possible between two souls.  Much goes on unspoken but very much understood by both sides.  Pisces is more imaginative and compassionate.  They have a tendency to loose themselves in love.  Scorpio is more no-nonsense and goal oriented. Scorpio tends to take the lead in this mix, although Pisces can have a very public life outside the relationship with Scorpio the more reserved and guarded partner.  This combination demands maturity. It can crash and burn if either or both partners has not confronted personal insecurities and inner demons. This is a relationship where the best parts will be behind closed doors.  The sexual chemistry is excellent and you both will enjoy creating a special world all your own. As a couple you will be able to do more than you ever could alone. Everyone wins.
