Taurus and Scorpio Compatibility
Taurus and Scorpio are opposite signs, an earth sign and a water sign. In general they tend to support and nourish each other.
How Taurus and Scorpio fit together
You sit directly opposite each other in the zodiac, which is called an opposition. Opposites share a mode and often balance each other’s extremes: each has what the other lacks. That tends to create strong attraction and, at times, a pull between two views.
Earth and water nourish each other. Water gives earth feeling and softness, and earth gives water shape and safety, so this element pairing tends to feel supportive and quietly devoted.
Both are fixed signs, which means both are loyal, persistent and slow to change their minds. That gives the relationship staying power, and it can also mean a standoff when neither will move.
Taurus in love
Taurus loves slowly and for keeps. Affection shows in steady presence, touch, good food and doing what it said it would, and once it has chosen someone it tends to stay.
Scorpio in love
Scorpio loves intensely and privately. It wants to know a partner completely, gives total loyalty once it trusts, and takes closeness very seriously.
What each brings, and what each needs
Taurus brings loyalty, calm and a talent for making life comfortable, and needs patience, consistency, and time to trust before anything speeds up. The hardest parts tend to be change that arrives suddenly, and saying out loud what it wants.
Scorpio brings depth, loyalty and a rare willingness to go all the way in, and needs trust, honesty, and a partner who does not play games with it. The hardest parts tend to be forgiving quickly, and letting someone see it being unsure.
Making it work
Look for the middle. Each of you holds half of a whole, and it goes best when you treat the other’s view as a missing piece instead of a challenge.
