Libra and Scorpio

This is Thriller, Thriller Night.

This is a cosmic relationship between two very different zodiac signs, both with strong willpower, powerful personalities, and a desire to have a successful relationship without necessarily being defined by it. 

Scorpio and Libra both have strong personalities; they know who they are. They’re both star signs with a certain amount of charisma and romantic energy emanating from them. It’s for this reason that they’re likely to be attracted to each other. 

They are not necessarily drawn together because they have common interests, communicate particularly well, or understand each other’s love languages, but there’s a certain animal attraction and their energies are very much in romantic and sexual alignment. Therefore, while there are obvious differences in their personalities and they may not be great friends, there is a desire to explore the potential of a romance and start dating.

Now, this is one of the more tenuous astrology relationships, there are plenty of reasons why it may not work. For example, Libra is ruled by Venus, and Venus is in its fall in Scorpio, meaning it can be a relationship that is particularly hard on the Libran. 

In Scorpio, we have fixed water; in Libra, we have cardinal air, so their modalities and elements are totally different. Scorpio tends to be far more emotional and very opaque, while Libra takes a more rational approach, intellectualizing life. Scorpio has powerful fixed opinions, Libra has strong opinions too, but they take longer to form them and are more capable of changing their mind. 

Scorpios are quite mysterious and in a way, Libras are mysterious too, because beneath their charming, reasonable exterior lies a much more turbulent emotional nature. Both of them actually have stormy internal emotional environments, but Scorpio is just a little more aware of it than Libra. 

This makes quite an exciting mix of charm and charisma. I would say it’s a little bit like Thriller, and I think of Halloween when I think of this star sign combination, which is rather appropriate as Halloween is close to both of their birthdays. 

This has a 70% chance of being successful. 

Romantic Compatibility 

When I think of the romance between these two star signs, I actually think about an Irish coffee. There’s contrast there – coffee with alcohol – something highly stimulating, but also rather relaxing. Then you have the layer of cream, which is indulgent. Overall, you’ve got the contrast between the black and white, the bittersweet, and the darkly enigmatic flavours. That’s what romance is like between these two zodiac signs. 

They are both characters with a very romantic, sensual nature. They like courting each other, treating each other, giving massages, and sharing special moments. They can be quite romantically creative; they enjoy gifting as a love language, and they both truly want to fall in love and dominate each other’s attention.

However, one of the downsides is that Libra is less likely to give Scorpio their full attention as time goes on, because Libra still wants to spend time with friends. When Scorpio is engaged in a romance, all they want is to be with the apple of their eye, foregoing all else. Scorpio can therefore become quite jealous of Libra’s other friendships. 

Libra, on the other hand, hates to feel controlled and may get a little angry with Scorpio’s possessiveness. The conundrum is that Libra is flattered by Scorpio’s jealousy, but another part of them gets irritated by it. That duality is constant for Libra, who can’t quite make up their mind about what they feel. 

When it comes to romance, Libra likes someone who engages their curiosity, someone a bit eccentric or bohemian. Scorpio certainly has the mystery to inspire Libra romantically with something a little out there. 

What Scorpio wants is to be totally loved, to have a partner who can soothe and calm them and Libra is very good at creating more harmony in Scorpio’s life, helping them achieve emotional balance. 

Sexual Compatibility 

When they’re together, there’s a lot of animal energy between them. Instinctively, they’re drawn to each other. They make each other feel desired, wanted, and more attractive. One of the huge pluses in their sexual experience is that they both make each other feel better about themselves and therefore, more confident and sexy.

Sometimes there’s almost a spiritual element to their connection, a great form of escapism. As Scorpio is possessive, Libra feels quite secure and because Libra is firm and has strong boundaries, Scorpio feels safe. It works beautifully from that perspective. 

Sexually, Libra likes a partner who is intense and a little possessive, and Scorpio certainly fits that. Libra wants exclusivity in the bedroom, to feel that their partner only has eyes for them. Scorpio, in turn, desires a partner who brings intellectual stimulation and variety to the bedroom and Libra is more than capable of doing that.

Friendship Factor Between Libra and Scorpio 

When it comes to their social lives, they are very different. Libra likes to have a broad range of friends. They love socializing, entertaining, going out, and attending work events and they have an enormous amount of social energy.

Scorpio is quite the opposite. They are exclusive; they have a few trusted, time-tested friends. Scorpio is the kind of star sign who likes five percent of people, can’t stand another five percent, and couldn’t care less about the other ninety percent. They don’t like wasting time. Scorpios value privacy and don’t particularly enjoy having guests at home. This creates conflict. 

If Scorpio happens to be more socially inclined, this could work well, but generally, Scorpios prefer solitude. They have a dimmer view of human nature, whereas Libra is far more tolerant and willing to see the best in everyone. This means they may not particularly like each other’s friends. Scorpio may resent Libra’s many friendships, while Libra may feel Scorpio is a bit of a party pooper. Scorpio doesn’t always want to be out on the town and can be quite the homebody. 

They must accept that socially, their needs are totally different. They’re not always going to be the greatest of friends, because their interests and temperaments differ so greatly. 

Long-Term Potential and Marriage 

In marriage, there’s a lot to discuss. Both star signs will want the relationship to work, and both will do their best to make it successful. They have strong personalities, so clashes are inevitable. 

What’s terrific is that Libra gives Scorpio boundaries, red lights, and doesn’t take any nonsense and Scorpio feels reassured by that. Scorpios don’t respect people they can push around. 

Scorpio’s intense, passionate way of loving is incredibly reassuring for Libra and helps Libra feel empowered and secure.

They can make an awesome couple in business, too, as they have totally different skill sets, and together they can achieve great wealth. They can be a true power couple. 

Spiritually, there’s deep potential for awakening and transformation, possibly even a soulmate connection. Yet, both of them have many layers to their personalities. Libra conceals their emotional turmoil behind diplomacy and reason, but inside they often suffer from self-doubt. Scorpio, though more emotionally self-aware, carries deep vulnerabilities, sensitivities, and with their long memories they struggle to let go.

Between Libra’s inner conflict and Scorpio’s emotional baggage, there are many undercurrents that can make them both defensive, reactive, and occasionally volatile. It’s crucial for both to be psychologically aware and to help each other face their shadow sides, rather than keeping up appearances. 

If they do this, the relationship can be deeply rewarding on a spiritual level. 

Strengths and Challenges 

High levels of animal desire and mutual attraction make this an intense and satisfying relationship. It can have ups and downs, but it’s passionate, romantic, and rewarding. 

Both astrology signs share love languages that involve curiosity, affection, gifting, and the need for physical reassurance not only sexually, but emotionally. Both are deep characters whose charm conceals emotional complexity, keeping the relationship intriguing and alive.

They make excellent business partners, both are determined, persevering, and strong-willed. They respect each other because of their clearly defined personalities. They can indeed become a powerful couple in love and prosperity. 

However, both star signs can be jealous and possessive as Venus meets Pluto. In a strange way, that jealousy can be reassuring, but it mustn’t become toxic. They need space. Libra is social and must be free to have many friends and interests, while Scorpio is private and needs solitude to recharge and process emotions. 

Both have conflicted emotional natures. Scorpio is honest about their resentments and traumas; Libra, less so as they prefer to distract or rationalize. Psychologically, both need to face their darker emotions more proactively rather than projecting them onto each other. 

Final Verdict 

I have a lot of admiration for this zodiac match, in fact, I find it rather intriguing. It probably has a higher than 70% chance of success among evolved individuals. The older and wiser they are, the better this relationship can be.

Both Sun signs are interested in psychology, so if they focus on self-awareness and inner healing, this relationship can be incredibly fulfilling. It’s powerful in romance, sexuality, and even money-making — what more could you want? 

At times, it can be stormy. Yes, there will be arguments as they’re both strong-willed, persuasive, possessive, and stubborn. However, they also understand and are turned on by that aspect of each other’s nature.

This can be quite an awesome mix, especially between a third-decan Scorpio matching with Libra and a second-decan Libra with Scorpio. 

Any star sign match is, of course, modified greatly by the Ascendant, Moon, and Venus signs — which will give more bearing on affectionate, sexual, and spiritual compatibility.
