What draws Taurus and Scorpio together
Taurus notices first that Scorpio does not blink. Scorpio notices first that Taurus does not hurry. Opposite signs sit on one axis, six signs apart, and each of you carries what the other leaves out: Taurus is easy to read once it trusts you, and Scorpio is hard to read until it does. That gap is the draw, and you feel it within minutes.
The tug starts from what you share. Each of you is fixed, which means each expects the other to be the one who gives. Taurus holds its ground by staying calm and Scorpio by staying intense, which means a deadlock can look like nothing is happening while both of you are working at full strength.
Man and woman
Scorpio man and Taurus woman
Trust is the first thing on the table: his word has to hold for her, and she must not test him. When both get that, the match is solid. She is steadier than his intensity expects, and he is more attentive than her calm gives him credit for.
Taurus and Scorpio sex life
Earth and water are friendly elements, and the bedroom is where this opposition makes the most sense. Taurus is sensory and patient, with a long attention span for touch. Scorpio is focused and wants to be known all the way through. Neither of you is in a hurry, and both of you mean it when you stay.
After an argument, take a long walk around the neighborhood before anything else. No phones, no destination. It gets Taurus out of its chair and gives Scorpio time to put a feeling into words, and the closeness afterward is real instead of a way to end the discussion.
Are Taurus and Scorpio a good match in love?
Venus rules Taurus and Mars rules Scorpio, so the planet of love and the planet of desire each has a sign here. Read through them, love between you looks like keeping and guarding.
The Venus signs complicate things. Among Taurus and Scorpio couples, one partner's Venus lands a quincunx from the other's, the angle astrologers call awkward, 39.4 times in 100, and a trine 24.9 times. Nearly two Tauruses in three have Venus in Aries or Gemini, and a little over half of Scorpios have it in Scorpio or Sagittarius. So the Venus side of this couple is often more awkward, and sometimes easier, than the Suns alone suggest.
Taurus and Scorpio fights and arguments
A Taurus and Scorpio fight begins with something small and concrete, like a changed plan, then turns into a question of who respects whom. Taurus goes quiet and stops answering. Scorpio goes quiet and starts remembering. Both silences are loud.
Fixed signs rarely end a fight with an apology. The usual end comes when one of you does a favor, a repaired shelf or a cup of tea, and the other takes it. That is a peace treaty: it settles the mood and leaves the original question open. Once the tea is finished, go back and say the sentence the favor was standing in for.
Can Taurus and Scorpio get married?
Yes. Both signs are fixed, so a promise made is a promise held, and a grievance is held just as long. Housekeeping divides naturally. Taurus keeps the accounts and the home running, and Scorpio watches the people and the risks.
Big decisions go best in two stages. Taurus gets time with the numbers, then Scorpio gets a day to say how it feels about them. Nothing changes in this house unless both of you pick the change, so pick it together.
Can Taurus and Scorpio be friends?
Friendship takes the contest for the last word out of the opposition. Taurus stays steady in the room while Scorpio says what the others were too polite to say, which gives a friendship more depth than noise.
Both are fixed, so a habit of holding back, once set, stays set until someone interrupts it.
Taurus and Scorpio as roommates
A neighbor's cat has started sleeping on the porch, and now the apartment has an opinion about it. Taurus and Scorpio sit opposite each other in the zodiac and are both fixed, so neither changes a position once it is taken. Taurus, a Venus sign, feeds the cat and calls it harmless kindness. Scorpio, a Mars sign, says nothing and keeps a list of what the cat has cost. The cat doesn't care. The silence lasts longer than the issue deserves. Agree on one rule for strays: nobody feeds one without asking the other first.
Taurus and Scorpio in the family
One birthday pair in 72 is a Taurus with a Scorpio (1.39 in 100). Between parent and child, in either direction, this puts two fixed signs under one roof, and each will hold its ground.
Brothers and sisters of these signs share the fixed mode, and with it a stubborn streak.
Taurus and Scorpio at work
By the second month of a shared project, Taurus has the schedule and Scorpio has the real story of who is behind it. As business partners the roles seldom overlap: Taurus builds and budgets, and Scorpio investigates and negotiates. Put the terms on paper at the start, since fixed signs let a grievance grow before they mention it.

The two love planets swap places across this axis. Taurus belongs to Venus, which is weak in Scorpio, and Scorpio belongs to Mars, which is weak in Taurus. Each of you is at home with the planet that is uneasy in the other's sign.
Our birth dates say the pull is not an easy one to run on: only 60.7 couples in 100 get a friendly angle between Venus in one chart and Mars in the other, and only 13.7 get it both ways. With such a link, the opposition has a counterweight. Without one, the attraction has to come from somewhere else in the charts.

Questions people ask
Are Taurus and Scorpio compatible?
Opposite signs mean strong pull and strong friction. Fixed signs hold on, so once you commit, you stay. It goes better when each of you leads in its own area.
Do Taurus and Scorpio get along?
Steadily, yes, with plenty of stubbornness. These are opposite signs and both are fixed, earth beside water, so the pull is strong and so is the grip. Neither will move first, so settling who leads on which day keeps it workable.
Are Taurus and Scorpio soulmates?
Opposite signs are read as magnetic, which is not the same as fated. What you make of the pull depends on both full charts and on how you treat each other.
Who will Scorpio marry?
No sign is marked out for it. Taurus is the sign directly opposite Scorpio and shares its fixed mode, with earth as a friendly element to water.
What is a Scorpio man attracted to?
Astrology gives no single answer for a whole sign. Scorpio is fixed water ruled by Mars, and Taurus is fixed earth: steadiness is what the two share.
How do you tell if a Scorpio is done with you?
No chart carries a tell for it. A Taurus who notices a long silence should ask once, plainly, and wait for a plain answer.
Are Taurus and Scorpio sister signs?
People use the phrase loosely. These two are opposite signs on one axis, and both are fixed, which is why both hold on so tightly.

A sign pair has no percentage in the tradition. Birth dates can be counted, though: 60.7 in 100 Taurus and Scorpio couples have an easy Venus-to-Mars link.
Why is Scorpio so attracted to Taurus?
In the tradition, opposite signs sit on one axis, and each carries what the other leaves out. Scorpio notices that Taurus does not hurry. Taurus is easy to read once it trusts you. Earth and water are friendly elements. In the bedroom, Scorpio, who wants to be known all the way through, meets a patient partner with a long attention span for touch.
