♉︎♏︎ Taurus and Scorpio compatibility

How well do Taurus and Scorpio go together? By tradition: magnetic.

Opposite in the zodiac means the same axis, two ends. One sees what the other overlooks. That fascinates and rubs at the same time, and it works when both take the difference as a gift.

What helps: See the other as a complement, not as an opponent.

What connects them

Both are faithful and love deeply, Taurus with the senses, Scorpio with passion.

Where it rubs

Both want the other entirely to themselves, and jealousy quickly becomes an issue.

Element and way

Earth and water: water makes the earth fertile, earth gives water a bed. Tradition sees care on both sides here: one gives support, the other gives feeling. Together you make something that can grow.

Taurus is a fixed sign, Scorpio a fixed one. Both belong to the fixed signs: they hold on to what they have. That makes the connection faithful and steady. It gets difficult when both stand their ground, because neither likes to give way.

The two in love

In love, Taurus is faithful and sensual. It needs reliability, time and small pleasures.

In love, Scorpio is deep and passionate. It needs loyalty and real closeness.

The planets of the two

The planet of Taurus is Venus. Venus stands for love, beauty and balance. It brings tenderness to a relationship and a feel for getting on well together.

The planet of Scorpio is Pluto, by the old rulership Mars. Pluto stands for depth and change. It brings passion to a relationship and the will to leave nothing on the surface.

The sky for the two, as of 19 October 2026

Venus is currently in Scorpio, until 24 October. For Taurus, it touches the area of partner and the people opposite. For Scorpio, it is in that very sign. As long as Venus is in one of the two signs, tradition says that sign finds it easier to show and receive affection. Venus has been retrograde since 3 October and stays so until 14 November. During this time, tradition advises clearing up old matters between two people rather than sealing new ones. On 14 May 2027, Venus enters Taurus. Mars is currently in Leo, until 25 November.

Computed from the real sky, new every day.

Read by decans

Tradition divides every sign into three decans of about ten days. Each decan has a sub-sign of the same element, and the couple then reads like the two sub-signs. If you know the birthdays, here is the finer reading. Under each decan are its approximate days and its sub-sign. The dates are for 2026 and shift by about a day from year to year.
