Complementary

Taurus and Scorpio are on opposite sides of the wheel: what one lacks, the other has in excess. They attract strongly and balance each other, or polarize if each stays at their end.

Taurus and Scorpio in love

In love there's support and loyalty: one gives security, the other tenderness. It's one of the most solid combinations for building something long-term.

In friendship and work

In friendship and work, both sustain and don't let up: total loyalty, but if they disagree neither gives in.

Why they get along this way

Element — Fertility and containment. Earth gives Water a channel and Water softens Earth's firmness: one holds, the other nourishes.

Rhythm. Both are fixed: both sustain. They understand each other's way of moving, but neither makes up for what the other lacks.

Polarity. They share Yin polarity (inward, receptive energy): they go in the same direction.

Rulers. Taurus is ruled by Venus (affection and pleasure); Scorpio, by Pluto and Mars (transformation; action and desire).

What each one brings

Taurus: determination, patience and loyalty.

Scorpio: intensity, transformation and depth.

Where they can clash

Taurus: stubbornness, resistance to change and materialism.

Scorpio: jealousy, control and revenge.

How to look after the bond

Move toward the center: each can learn from the other exactly what they lack, instead of reproaching them for it.
