Libra and Scorpio Compatibility

Libra and Scorpio are adjoining signs, a semi-sextile between cardinal air and fixed water. Libra likes life to be light, even-handed and sociable. Scorpio likes it to be honest, private and intense. They are next-door neighbours on the wheel who seem to keep completely different schedules.

Are Libra and Scorpio compatible?

They can be, with care. The scores are level and moderate, since neighbouring signs start low and air and water each add a point. What one partner calls keeping the peace, the other may call avoiding the subject, so definitions matter.

• Chemistry 6/10
• Communication 6/10
• Long-term 6/10

How the scores are worked out: neighbouring signs (a semi-sextile) start at 5, 5 and 6 for chemistry, communication and long-term ease. Libra’s air adds a point of communication and Scorpio’s water adds a point to the lowest score, chemistry. Overall: 6/10, which the Codex calls “Rewarding work”.

What attracts Libra and Scorpio?

Libra is attracted to Scorpio’s magnetism and sureness. Scorpio, occasionally in spite of itself, is won over by Libra’s grace. Libra adds beauty to Scorpio’s world, and Scorpio adds depth to Libra’s.

Where do Libra and Scorpio clash?

Libra is friendly with everyone, and that can stir Scorpio’s jealousy. Scorpio’s questioning can feel intrusive to a sign that values its composure. Libra steps back from confrontation, and Scorpio is unwilling to drop the matter.
