These interpretations are based on solar energies only when one of the partners has a Sun in Scorpio, a Water sign, and they give an idea of the probable compatibilities with the other solar signs of the zodiac.
They have been written with a “love” perspective but their purpose can also be applied in the field of friendship, or relational in general.
For more precision, it is advisable to nuance them by a more thorough study, a true comparison of topics that we call a Synastry or at least a Study of rapprochement. It will obviously also be necessary to take into account its ruler planet, Pluto, as it is a little more complicated than just throwing the astro dice… 🙂

Scorpio Love Compatibility
SCORPIO-Aries : water/fire (Mars)
This couple is a prototype of an internal combustion engine. It works by compulsions and by successive crises, and you like that, you blossom in confrontation. You share common values on the Planets Mars and Pluto’s rules, so much so that the duo will be dynamic, strong and above all very passionate. You have the same values of excessiveness, of up to the extreme, a clear propensity to extremes, to powerfully affirm your convictions, even to aggressiveness and violence.
Aries will be optimistic, positive, voluntary and enterprising, warm-blooded, very direct, turned towards the future; on the other hand, the scorpio will be much darker, cold-blooded, negative, dark, mysterious and secret, with an intuitive mind, with a thirst for absolute, and turned towards the past, extremely resentful.
You will find a complementarity in the relationship that will frequently produce electric storms, beware of the scorpio’s sensitivity, they will need a permanent power of feelings, and the independent and individualistic side of aries might could be quickly overwhelmed. Aries will not always understand the scorpio’s enigmatic behavior…
Sexuality will be a powerful driving force for the couple, with aries bringing their passion, spontaneity and novelty, and scorpio dominating with their sensuality, magnetism and charismatic charm.
It’s obviously a relationship that will be based on intensity, with a frenetic rhythm on the fast lane, the risk of a violent road exit is always omnipresent…
SCORPIO-Taurus : water/earth (Venus)
It’s a very complex union that’s being formed here. Your signs are opposite in the zodiac and in many ways you are also diametrically opposite in life. Taurus have a simplicity and gentleness that is totally antagonistic to scorpio which are complex, mysterious and harsh. Scorpio are “tortured” psychologically and emotionally, flayed alive, seek, delve into the depths of things, even beyond appearances in the abstract spheres of reality… and that is a lot to ask Taurus who are very attached to the concrete, to the practical, to pragmatism and to the “solid”. One of your common points and on the other hand your tendency to hide your feelings and not to be very “expressive” about your states of mind.
However, there may be something “magnetic” that brings you together, a story without words. Scorpio magnetism invariably works well, and they will love the stubbornness and the strong head of taurus. You both have a possessive nature and will appreciate the mutual belonging you will show to each other, especially the loyalty and constancy of taurus will be for scorpio a pledge of confidence (They are also extremely jealous). Scorpio will need a permanent emotional intensity, but this can be spoiled by the taurus’ routine and home-like nature. In addition, the lack of regular communication can also lead to a “permanent estrangement” that can be detrimental to the strength of the union.
You are both tough and you will certainly need to soften each other up a bit if you want to reconcile your core personality and your couple harmoniously.
SCORPIO-Gemini : water/air (Mercury)
You two are extremely polar opposites in character. Scorpio is mysterious and internalized where gemini is spontaneous and extroverted. Scorpio are passionate people who vibrate with their emotions in an inner fire, they are instinctive, they do not conceive life without this permanent intensity and these impulses which come with each of their acts and each of their thoughts, they are also extremely possessive and jealous. Gemini are above all cerebral, they like to analyze things objectively far from their emotions, they like to butterfly with the liking of their new discoveries and their new encounters.
Gemini will be in immaturity, daily lightness and optimism, even superficiality, where scorpio will be heavy, serious, cold, tenacious, too mature and often “negative”.
Scorpio are also much less sociable than gemini, they are on the whole fundamentally individualistic and do not understand all the air mixing of gemini, their constant need to speak and exchange, to intellectualize everything they touch. Gemini will find it difficult to understand the scorpio’s wild side and their sharp skinned side, and they will find it even more difficult to penetrate the thick mental shell of scorpio.
However, all these opposing polarities can also be like magnets between the two of you. You will intrigue each other, each one studying the other’s universe with an interested and doubtful eye. If there is a bit of water in gemini and a bit of air in scorpio, it can be an interesting mix !
You are very different, but you have a fundamentally identical nature, you are “cut from the same cloth”.
You are both very attached to feelings, you share in some way “antennas” that connect you to the unconscious, you have a deep analysis of your psychology, as much as those of others, you feel a powerful need to connect with your loved ones, to protect them, especially your family, with whom you tend to have fusional relationships, a sense of belonging, and even with regard to scorpio, a strong sense of possession.
Scorpio are more complex and secretive than cancers. They have a magnetism, a passionate and compulsive nature, often even very hot, including sexually (this is the most paradoxical of the water signs), their temperament is fundamentally “instinctive”, sometimes -often- not without a certain harshness.
These are the biggest points of divergence with cancer, which are peaceful, empathetic, compassionate, very sensitive and receptive to their environment, much less instinctive and sexual, more sentimental, not at all “harsh”.
Basically, you have a different way of “absorbing” the vibrations around you. Cancer are nostalgic, melancholic, sentimental, like a sponge in relation to feelings, they accumulate again and again, and have trouble rejecting. While scorpios will accumulate but will periodically consume the totality of emotions collected in its crucible, they will go down if necessary very deep to purge them of their dross, but will come back up and be reborn with the quintessence of what they have kept, something that cancer don’t know how to do…
For scorpio, cancer can appear too weak, it can address to them acerbic and acid remarks (of which only they have the secret) which can deeply and in an indelible way wound the resentful cancer, which will then fold up in their shell. And since scorpio are no less vindictive, the cold war can set in quickly and last a long time…
It’s a paradoxical union between the two of you; you share the same intensity, the same depth of feeling, the same need for durability of emotions, and it deeply strengthens your bond and intimacy, but you have really very different ways of experiencing and expressing it…
SCORPIO-Leo : water/fire (Sun)
Here are 2 strong personalities, your temperaments have many differences and yet you share a lot of common points. The same will and tenacity, you are strong and proud, attached to stability, constancy and security of feelings.
Leo will have a hard time dominating scorpio and being admired by them… but it can be a real challenge for leo, and if they succeed, they will undoubtedly be a powerful cement for the couple.
As often with scorpio it is about magnetism and possession, passion, intensity of feelings, and with leo, they are pounding on the right door ! Scorpio will appreciate to find in their partner all these traits that make their own dynamic, which can be a real emulsion in the relationship.
Where are the possible problems then ? Well, you both show a great strength of character, maybe “too” great in some ways, as much the attractiveness and the force of attraction can be important, as much if there is repulsion, the hostility will be massive ! Both your characters are sort of all-or-nothing and will not tolerate half measures, for better or for worse…
You are both as stubborn and inflexible as each other, any conciliation is difficult, everyone can pull the cover for themselves, which creates a permanent power relationship… but the worst is that you will probably like this element in the relationship ! (especially scorpio which is more complex)
Beware of jealousy on both sides, your 2 signs are not at all good at “sharing”… Your level of involvement in the couple is important, total, but you do not trust twice in case of betrayal.
SCORPIO-Virgo : water/earth (Mercury)
Unlike what you might think at first glance, you have a lot in common ! You share a taste for analysis, dissection of things, deep reflection “beyond things”, research, as well as a certain interiorization that can pass from an external point of view for a form of coldness.
You both have a practical and pragmatic nature, very attached to security, which you will appreciate to find in the other person on a daily basis.
However, scorpio have an underground fire, passionate, intense, primitive, magnetic, which can really destabilize virgo. Scorpio can have a cold blood and recklessness which also contrast with the extreme caution and reserve of virgo in all circumstances. In fact scorpio thrive at their best, often in periods of extreme crises, they are of the tough type, whereas these same periods are for virgo above all sources of stress and anxiety that they will have great difficulty to exteriorize and fight, or even rather they will want to flee.
Virgo are more modest, shy, where scorpios will be eruptive. Scorpios are much more dominant, possessive and jealous than virgo, they can perceive the latter as a “little weak thing” to protect and will like to assume this role. Virgo will like the stability and strength of scorpio but may have more trouble with their emotional temperament which is very demanding and sometimes violent or aggressive, they will judge them on their lack of rationality and temperance.
Scorpios have indeed a darkness often very marked, they do not hesitate to go “on the dark side” of the human soul and to take pleasure in it, at least until they reach a certain understanding of themselves or of a situation, virgo are incapable of such practices.
On the negative side, surely scorpio will find it difficult to bear the virgo’s criticisms, as well as their extreme perfectionism, and probably virgo will be able to blame them for being too “raw”.
But on the whole, your couple can show an astonishing complementarity, a bit like “the beautiful and the beast”.
SCORPIO-Libra : water/air (Venus)
It’s a combination of poise and passion. Libra are logical, they work to the concept, they rationalize, while scorpio invest a lot of emotion in everything. Even if they are very cold-blooded, scorpio tend to take things to heart a lot, they have great emotional depth and feelings.
Libra are lighter, more voluble, more versatile, they have a need for sociability almost diametrically opposed to that of scorpio who are rather of the “silent”, dark, seemingly cold, distant type.
Basically, you have the same goal, the search for complementarity in your partner, but you have a very different way of looking for it and expressing it. Scorpio aspire to security, they seek mutual belonging and are often very possessive and jealous. Libra on their side, like excitement, they flutter, but remain in a form of superficiality and distance because they doe not really invest themselves emotionally in all relationships. It is basically the eternal dilemma between the subjectivity of water and the objectivity of air.
Your Rulerships are also revealing, Pluto and Venus do not “box” in the same category. By nature, venus is harmony, balance, while pluto is in intensity and excess. Even at the level of exaltations one notices your differences : Saturn for libra and Uranus for scorpio. On the level of symbols again, libra represent balance, moderation, justice; scorpios appreciate justice without any problem, but they are much darker and hasty, they sting without moderation !
What brings you together is that, as you are neighboring signs, you often have personal Planets in the partner, which contributes greatly to a better understanding. Scorpio can be a “good ember” that will be fed by the air of libra. You have an obvious complementarity that can emerge, libra have curiosity and sufficient tolerance, and… the scorpio’s magnetism is redoubtable !
SCORPIO-Scorpio : water (Pluto)
This is a union that promises to be dynamic and explosive ! Your sign does not tolerate half measures, “lukewarm water”, this is not for you. You want to live in permanent intensity, you tend to flee from too much lightness, too much superficiality.
Both of you are very attached to the mutual belonging notion, the emotional security, the possessiveness too, you get very involved in your relationships… You function essentially on an attraction/repulsion mode, you do not generally leave indifferent, either one adores you, or one hates you, but when you love, you do not do things halfway, you do them at your image, passionately, intensely, deeply, even violently, and you are faithful and constant in your feelings, they are won for a long time (as long as you are not betrayed).
So you both have a very assertive, dominating character, and your relationship will certainly have some frequent sparks, but it is indeed in these crisis configurations that you blossom the best ! You like conflicts, and even if there are none, you are not afraid to create them… on the contrary, it allows you to give the full measure of your passionate nature, of your cold blood, of your ability to master a situation.
So it is a union from which potentially a huge amount of energy and a huge transformative power for both of you can come out. You will still have to be careful not to let the relationship sink into a spiral of darkness, negativity and destruction towards which your spontaneous natures can push you, but to pull it towards its “positive” side. It is basically this that will determine the profound nature of the couple.
The rest of your natal charts may specify “on which side the tree may fall”…
SCORPIO-Sagittarius : water/fire (Jupiter)
You have many differences, scorpio are dark, intense, violent, sagittarians are enthusiastic, volatile, sociable. You have a very different way of communicating, sagittarians are dynamic, affable, sympathetic, scorpio are much more distrustful, more emotional and introverted, more receptive.
Scorpio seek mutual belonging, a depth of feeling, fusion, they are very possessive and jealous, whereas everything in sagittarius aspire to lightness, independence and freedom.
Scorpio have depth, fidelity, constancy, tenacity and stability which are sometimes lacking in the more flexible and adaptable sagittarius. Sagittarians have a very adventurous, open and versatile nature, which can destabilize scorpio.
Sagittarius like to handle philosophy, high ideals, mysticism and all abstract concepts. Scorpio will be much more attracted to the psychological, esoteric and hidden side of things (especially the darker sides).
Deep down you both have a passionate nature, the fire of Sagittarius is just more explicit than that of scorpio which is underground, greatly internalized…
But as your 2 signs are side by side, it is likely that you share common planets which often contributes to mix your 2 characters harmoniously. Both of you can bring out a charisma and a magnetism that will attract you to each other. As long as the rest of your natal charts are compatible, it is a union that can be very surprising !
SCORPIO-Capricorn : water/earth (Saturn)
You share the same consistency, stability, safety and durability. Capricorn are more logical and rational, whereas scorpio tend to be deeper in emotions and feelings. Having said that, you are both of the introverted type, you hide your thoughts, feelings and weaknesses wonderfully, you do not want to be read in you like an open book and you do it very well !
The mysterious scorpio and the undaunted capricorn, the same cold-bloodedness, the same distrust, the same reserve.
It takes time to tame you and your confidence is quickly lost in case of betrayal, when it comes to relationships, you always give priority to quality over quantity.
However, there is a certain difference in your approach, capricorn have an ambitious and active nature, a sense of the society’s hierarchy, an objectivity with regard to social relationships, they manage to take a distance, a detachment and to be pragmatic, whereas scorpio have sometimes quite asocial tendencies and they are anchored on their positions, they take relational things much more to heart, their fundamental nature is very instinctive, deeply passionate and “boiling”, even violent.
This is probably your biggest difference, you might certainly have some miscommunication on this side. But apart from these few points, there can be a real effectiveness in your relationship, and you can find in the other one some form of complementarity. As long as scorpio have a bit of earth and capricorn a bit of water, it will be a truly perennial union !
SCORPIO-Aquarius : water/air (Uranus)
You two are very different. Scorpio is dark, instinctive, passionate, very attached to the notion of mutual belonging and to the depth of feelings. Aquarians are utopian, optimistic, idealistic, very attached to the notion of independence and freedom. Aquarius like to handle abstract concepts, their sociability pushes them in exchanges where they exercises all their liveliness of spirit, they elaborate big collective projects, they realize their “revolutionary” vision of society, establish their “network of knowledge”. Scorpio are much more introverted, more psychological, more secretive and asocial too, sometimes even more violent and destructive.
You have indeed 2 extremely distinct modes of communication, aquarians are volatile, cerebral, rational, scorpio are more complex, subtle and mysterious. When the scorpio’s side attached to the emotions speaks about fidelity, durability, aquarius answer indifference, liberation, deliverance, revolt…
Yet in some respects you share the same “coldness”, the same coolness towards events, the same tenacity, the same stubbornness, the same inflexibility, the same excessiveness too, the same attachment to a form of security. You can also have a form of complementarity, scorpio bringing the necessary destruction for the aquarius’ renewal !
It’s just that you may express things one by one without being able to find common ground. As a result, there is a risk of developing a form of frustration of your deepest nature on both sides.
However, all is not lost, depending on the rest of your birth charts you may manifest traits that will bring you closer to each other, especially if there is mediation from a third elemental energy.
SCORPIO-Pisces : water (Neptune)
You share a common element, water, so you have an extremely important common base. It is interesting to note that you share a Rulership of Venus, pisces in Exaltation, while scorpio in Detriment, Scorpio being also rule of Mars, it is emblematic of the difference between your characters.
Pisces are gentle, empathetic, compassionate, peaceful, forgiving, whereas scorpio are more Martian, passionate, intense, dark, mysterious, secretive, dynamic, even aggressive, destructive and violent.
But you share the same fundamental sensibility, the same attachment to the depth of feelings and to the notion of belonging, the notion of intimate and emotional fusion is very important for both of you, just pisces will be more “universal” in their vision, whereas scorpio will just be centered on themself and their relatives, more possessive and jealous.
There emerges from your relationship a form of complementarity that can generate a lot of Projections, pisces can bring their “understanding” to scorpio to calm them, soothe them, while scorpio will on the contrary give it their “passion” to assert themselves, to impose themselves.
Be careful however not to lean too much on your Venus/Mars antagonisms, because it is also about 2 different worlds which do not always have only harmonious things to say to each other ! The scorpio’s harshness and the extreme intuitive Pisces’ sensibility can also sometimes be completely out of place for each other… Your other astral influences will specify if there is a real perennial compatibility other than just the sun sign.
In the meantime you potentially have a great understanding of each other and you can build, physically and spiritually on it, you enjoy your company, you have a lot to share.
