Taurus and Scorpio Compatibility
Taurus and Scorpio face each other — an opposition. A mirror: each side has exactly what the other lacks, which is why it attracts and irritates in equal measure. The strongest pair in the zodiac, once it stops competing.
How Taurus and Scorpio Meet
Taurus and Scorpio face each other across the wheel, and the opposition is one of the zodiac's most magnetic. Taurus holds on to what it has; Scorpio holds on to what it feels. Each is fixed, each is deeply loyal, and each has exactly the quality the other lacks — Taurus the calm surface, Scorpio the depth underneath it. The attraction is immediate and often mutual, and it comes with a sense that the other person is going to matter.
The difficulty is that two fixed signs in opposition do not bend; they hold. Scorpio wants to know everything and Taurus does not see why; Taurus wants things simple and Scorpio does not believe anything is. Jealousy can appear on both sides — possessiveness in Taurus, suspicion in Scorpio — and neither lets go of a grievance easily. When the pair works, it is because both have decided to, and a decision made by these two signs is close to permanent.
The Chemistry, by Element and Pace
Earth and water: a garden. Water brings feeling, earth brings shape, and both grow slowly and surely. A pair that builds a home.
Two fixed signs: loyalty, staying power and two heads that will not give way. What this pair promises, holds — and so does what it does not forgive.
What Works
- The loyalty on both sides is total, and both know it without asking.
- Taurus's calm is the one thing that steadies Scorpio; Scorpio's depth is the one thing that moves Taurus.
- Physical and emotional intensity in the same place, which is rarer than it sounds.
Where It Rubs
- Scorpio probes; Taurus refuses to be probed, and the refusal makes Scorpio probe harder.
- Both are possessive in their own way, and it can turn a partnership into a holding.
- Two fixed signs in opposition: a grievance can be held for years on either side.
As Friends and at Work
As friends they are fiercely protective of each other and slow to trust anyone else; at work, Scorpio strategises and Taurus executes, and the pair is hard to move once it has settled on a course.
What Each Sign Brings
Two Sun signs are where a reading starts
A Sun sign is one placement out of ten. Two people can share a Sun sign and disagree about nearly everything, because their Moons, their Venuses and their rising signs do not match. The real version of this reading is synastry: two full charts laid over each other, contact by contact. Torvii Plus reads two charts together in the app; on the web you can start by drawing your own.
