Taurus and Scorpio

I feel thunder in my heart

This is one of the best matches for Taurus and Scorpio. This relationship is pure dynamite. It is a relationship that is often fated in nature, as they are drawn instinctively towards each other, knowing that there is a certain karma they need to fulfill together. This relationship can be rewarding and exciting, but it has its shares of ups and downs, inevitable when you have two personalities that tend to push each other and themselves to extremes.

Their life together will be full of surprises, twists, and turns, and they will discover many interesting things together. They are both signs who, when they come together, tend to push boundaries, open doors, and find many treasures. There are also times when this relationship has a lot of drama, but in a way, they both thrive on it, as it makes things more poignant and meaningful. 

This cosmic relationship can lack harmony and moderation, but it never lacks meaning. One of the dangers is that they can test each other constantly with their powerful personalities, but the relationship remains one that is intriguing and has an 80% chance of being successful. 

These are both Zodiac signs known for being possessive and controlling, and often the relationship between them can be codependent. This can however sometimes work for these two Sun signs because they have such a strong need to attach, to be validated, and to be loved. So, it can be an enormously fulfilling relationship, but codependency comes with its problems that they also need to recognize and be mindful of. 

Compatibility is high and the chances of success 80%. 

Romance Between Taurus and Scorpio 

These astrology signs are automatically drawn together. They will start a conversation, they’ll be captivated with each other, and they will be inclined to start a romantic and sexual relationship. Initially, the compatibility is very high because they are both serious about relationships, will give each other a lot of attention, and they can enjoy spending time together.

One of the issues is that they have slightly different needs socially. Taurus likes to be more active socially, while Scorpio can be quite reclusive. However, what they have in common is that they both like to focus on one person; they don’t like to spread their energies around. So, once they become interested in each other romantically, they are likely to really commit to that romance, spend a lot of time together, and get to know each other deeply. Both of them enjoy gifting and affection as a love language. 

Communication can sometimes be a little strained because they can both be quite opinionated, and there can often be arguments as neither likes to be second-guessed. Taurus sometimes finds Scorpio’s moods baffling and needs to learn to handle them without getting angry. Scorpio needs to understand that Taurus likes logical explanations and cannot stand anything that is obscure or vague.

The more willing they are to explain themselves to each other, the better, but neither should resort to passive aggression — otherwise, it destroys the romantic aura. 

Sexual Relationship Between Taurus and Scorpio 

The sexual side of the relationship thrives simply because they both have a high degree of loyalty, which builds trust into the relationship. This means they are likely to want to open up sexually and explore. Scorpio, however, can be more playful in the bedroom, whereas Taurus tends to take a while to open up and can initially be a little bit tense.

However, what they both share when it comes to sexuality is a need for a little bit of excitement and escapism through their sex life. So, their sex life can be a release valve for the relationship. Sometimes communication is rather stilted, and both can feel a bit misunderstood; however, during intimacy, they are able to express themselves and show their love through affection, through surprising each other, and through introducing spontaneity which keeps the relationship alive. 

Their sex life cannot be stagnant however, it has to go somewhere and it can’t be predictable or boring. Both of them need to feel there’s something new, and that they are both going to have a good time. 

Foreplay is absolutely essential for both of these star signs. They need to do something fun that produces adrenaline and helps them both escape from the troubles of daily life prior to sex. Their foreplay should lead the way — they can’t have sex without foreplay and it has to be enlivening and playful and help them to feel youthful again. 

Friendship Between Taurus and Scorpio 

What’s awesome about this relationship is that these two are lovers and very good friends. They’re good friends because they both enjoy exclusivity and fairly intense relationships with others. They are both likely to focus strongly on each other and give each other reassuring feedback. They also make good friends because they have each other’s back. They are loyal; they understand what each other needs to feel validated and seen, and both of them will always feel that the other is present in the relationship.

Where the friendship sometimes hits a rocky patch is in communication, because Taurus tends to want answers. When Scorpio is in a mood, they need time to get over it, and Taurus gets very impatient and pushes for answers. This backs Scorpio into a corner, and they don’t like it.

Scorpio can sometimes find Taurus a little bit stroppy and high handed. Scorpio sometimes thinks Taurus’s opinions on things are too definite and lack nuance, which Scorpio can find difficult. Scorpio has strong perceptions and flashes of insight and Taurus may “pooh-pooh” them, which Scorpio cannot stand. Taurus has to understand that sometimes Scorpio’s emotions are what they are and defy explanation — they should allow Scorpio to feel. 

Marriage and long term potential 

Marriage between these two Sun signs is usually long-lasting, but it will have its ups and downs. There can be periods where it’s an uphill battle, and they both really have to be tenacious — which, luckily, they are. This may be a relationship that needs the occasional break, as pressure can really build up because it’s a very intense, dramatic union, and both don’t know when to walk away.

This match benefits from strong family connections with siblings, cousins, or good friendships, so that in times of trouble there is support outside the relationship. Sometimes this connection can be emotionally exhausting, so the key to success is for both of them to know when to blow off steam, get outside advice, or take a short break from each other. 

This relationship also requires more tolerance. Both can be very prescriptive and not very tolerant, but if they can develop tolerance — or if one of them has an air moon or Libra rising — that’s an enormous help. 

Taurus is a thinker who likes to work through things systematically. Scorpio is a feeler, with emotional responses that can be impulsive. This is where they often clash in decision-making. 

They really do complement each other because Scorpio is a little more dynamic and assertive, and Taurus is very good at being the stalwart. They need to appreciate the differences in their nature rather than fight against each other. Appreciation and tolerance of each other’s quirks and eccentricities are important. 

This relationship can sometimes push them both to extremes, and they need to know when they are spiraling downwards and to stop it — because sometimes they just don’t know when enough is enough. 

Strengths and Challenges 

The strengths in this partnership are loyalty, fidelity, commitment, and passion. These two have complementary traits — Scorpio is more impulsive and daring, while Taurus is more conservative, consistent, and logical. Yet both have a strong gut feel, and there are many times when they will be in absolute agreement — and this is when they can move mountains together.

This couple can achieve mastery over any obstacle. They are both incredibly persistent personalities, and when the going gets tough, they pull together and thrive. This relationship can do very well during difficult periods. 

There’s often strong karma attached to the partnership, where they need to learn the lessons that each has to offer — so both have to be open to growth for this relationship to truly achieve its potential. 

One of the weaknesses is that they both have very jealous natures. They want to possess and belong only to each other and are often not very tolerant of giving each other space — when space is exactly what they need. 

This relationship can be like a pressure cooker. They tend to push each other to extremes, and when times are bad, they go from bad to worse unless there’s outside intervention. 

Both need to be more mindful and learn to step away when things get too tense. They often overreact to what the other has said without understanding each other’s personality. 

Taurus will always be opinionated and press for answers, while Scorpio will have moods where they want to be reclusive and untouchable. They both need to respect that. Taurus likes harmony, security, and answers, but Scorpio can’t always provide them — and Taurus needs to understand that. 

Since both have huge tempers, there can be an issue with arguments escalating. 

Wrapping Up 

There’s no shortage of passion, love, and feeling in this relationship. In fact, this is one of the karmic matches that’s quite Shakespearean in many ways, simply because it’s rather dramatic. I believe this is an excellent combination because they are both determined and stubborn about making the relationship work — not wanting to walk away. 

AstroLove | Taurus and Scorpio

They find something within each other that is rather beautiful and special, and this makes them want to keep working at the relationship, even when times are tough. This can be a relationship where there are periods of love and hate, but underlying that is an immense amount of desire and feeling and that fuels the connection. 

They certainly need to know when to step away and give it a rest, and a little more moderation can be helpful. This relationship is even better when there are airy moons, a dose of Libra or Sagittarius, and possibly a hint of Capricorn to bring it all down to earth and help create calm during stormy moments.

First and third decan Scorpios match best with Taurus, second and third decan Taurus are best 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.
