Taurus and Scorpio Compatibility in Love and Relationships
Taurus and Scorpio are opposites in love: they click in bed and miss each other elsewhere. Both hold on to what was said, so quarrels last.
What draws them together
Scorpio and Taurus stand directly opposite each other in the zodiac, and the pull is instant and physical: Taurus seems like firm ground, Scorpio like a forbidden island. Taurus never raises a voice, and Scorpio for once has nothing to prove. Beside Taurus, Scorpio can stop reading between the lines for once, and Taurus finds more fire under Scorpio's calm surface than expected. Both want loyalty and loathe shallowness, they just look for it in different places: Taurus in reliability, Scorpio in total openness. The first weeks carry the feeling that somebody has finally turned up who isn't putting on a show.
Love and intimacy
Physically they are in tune. Taurus is steady and sensual, Scorpio intense and watchful, and both want everything without hurry. Words matter less here than elsewhere, which is a blessing and a trap. Scorpio reads meaning into every gesture, while Taurus often meant nothing in particular by it. The morning after the best night Taurus feels no need to discuss it, and Scorpio searches the silence for what happened. This closeness is strong but fragile if it is never talked about at all.
Everyday life and home
Taurus wants Saturday on the sofa and three hours over lunch. Scorpio wants to pick apart what a friend said about them, and why Taurus smiled at the waitress. Taurus runs the household, meaning order, money and shopping, and Scorpio puts up with it until finding out something was decided without them. Both are possessive, differently: Taurus about things, Scorpio about people. Splitting the territory helps, and so does a Sunday hour in which each says what bothers them. The pair who last have learnt to be silent together without keeping score.
Where it rubs and how to ease it
Neither will be the first to move. Scorpio remembers a sentence from last March, Taurus digs in and cannot even repeat it. Jealousy speaks two languages: Scorpio probes, Taurus takes it for distrust and says nothing. Their best rule: whoever is hurt says so the same day, and the other lets them finish. Taurus should give Scorpio reassurance about loyalty in words, Scorpio should give Taurus freedom without cross-examination. How much of the other's element each already carries shows in the Moon and Venus of each chart, not in the Sun.
Taurus man and Scorpio woman
A Taurus man beside a Scorpio woman feels truly seen, even in places where he doesn't see himself. In him she finds a security she has found nowhere else. Watch the jealousy: when she asks where he has been, it should be interest in his world, not an interrogation. And she should let him be silent for a while.
Taurus woman and Scorpio man
A Taurus woman and a Scorpio man say a great deal with their eyes and little with their mouths. She looks to him for support, he to her for something firm to stand on in a moment of doubt. She could sometimes say what she thinks before he asks, and he should not make her guess why he is angry.
Keeping it alive
- Say what hurt the same day, and let the other finish the sentence.
- Taurus, give a compliment in words once a week, even when it is obvious.
- Scorpio, don't ask about every hour of the day.

Taurus Zodiac Sign
Taurus, the second sign of the zodiac, is a fixed earth sign ruled by Venus. Taureans build slowly but for keeps: a home, a relationship, a savings account.
Scorpio Zodiac Sign
The eighth sign of the zodiac, Scorpio, is fixed water, ruled by Pluto and Mars. Scorpios live all in or not at all: they want the truth, even the uncomfortable kind, and give themselves to their feelings completely.
