Taurus and Scorpio Compatibility
Taurus and Scorpio are opposite signs, fixed earth facing fixed water. Astrologers describe their axis in terms of having and sharing: Taurus holds fast to what can be touched, and Scorpio to what is felt. Both commit completely, and both look for that same completeness from a partner.
Are Taurus and Scorpio compatible?
Yes, intensely. Chemistry reaches the top score, long-term ease is strong and communication is workable. The Codex uses this pair as its worked example of the scoring rubric, because the earth and water bonuses both apply to an already magnetic opposition.
- Chemistry 10/10
- Communication 7/10
- Long-term 8/10
How the scores are worked out: opposite signs (an opposition) start at 10, 6 and 7 for chemistry, communication and long-term ease. Taurus’s earth adds a point of long-term ease and Scorpio’s water adds a point to the lowest score, communication. Overall: 8.3/10, which the Codex calls “Strong with care”.
What attracts Taurus and Scorpio?
The physical attraction is often remarkable. Taurus contributes sensuality and Scorpio contributes depth of feeling, and the trust that grows from that can run very deep. Each has the sense that the other will stand firm when things are difficult.
Where do Taurus and Scorpio clash?
Possessiveness can arise on both sides. Scorpio wants to investigate and Taurus declines to be investigated. Neither lets go of a grievance easily and neither retreats, so a serious quarrel risks becoming a prolonged stand-off with both partners entrenched.
