THESE SIGNS ARE THE MOST (AND LEAST) COMPATIBLE WITH SCORPIO

If you believe in the power of astrology, you might want to look into your compatibility with someone before you jump into a relationship with them.

Do the stars say that you‘re a match made in heaven, or that it might be best if you decided to run and hide, instead? If you‘re a Scorpio, or you‘ve got strong feelings for one, keep reading to find out which signs are the most compatible with them, and which signs are going to require a little extra elbow grease to make work.

Taurus

Taurus and Scorpio may be directly opposite each other in the zodiac, but this match is one of those times that opposites truly do attract. Loyalty is of utmost importance to both signs, and though Scorpio is known for being jealous, Taurus will be able to recognize this trait as a sign of commitment and dedication. Taurus‘ direct but sensible nature will also cut through Scorpio‘s tendency for secrecy, and though Taurus may have a tough time with Scorpio‘s emotionality, they see eye to eye when it comes to being loyal to each other. If both sides can stay committed to each other, they‘ll both teach the other how to start seeing the world the same way.

Cancer

Cancer and Scorpio are both sensitive water signs, so the two understand each other‘s complicated emotional lives. Both are natural-born empaths with a finely honed intuition, giving them the ability to understand how others feel without ever having to ask. Though both require plenty of attention and commitment, they understand those needs and are willing to give it to the people they care most about. Though Cancer can sometimes be squeamish about sharing their true feelings with others, Scorpio will always know the truth. As long as Cancer is willing to give Scorpio the alone time they need to thrive, chances are good that the relationship will last.

Virgo

Virgo and Scorpio may not seem like they‘d have all that common on the surface, but there are a few important similarities that can take this couple far. For one, they both know the value of alone time and the chance to be independent, and can even learn to spend the quiet time they need away from others together in harmony. Unless Scorpio‘s jealousy gets in the way, very little conflict will arise from this situation. While Virgo may struggle with understanding them at first, attempting to rationalize the actions of sentimental Scorpio, both sides are highly determined, and many couples of this pairing put that quality into making the relationship work.

Aquarius

Superficially, you might think that Scorpio and Aquarius were meant to be, but it‘ll take extra effort from both sides to keep this relationship happy. Both signs are known for being intellectuals, and while it might seem that this would bring them together, the way they approach learning is so different that it can feel like they‘re from separate planets. While Aquarius is pragmatic and driven by curiosity, there‘s an intensity to Scorpio‘s quest for knowledge that can be alarming to Aquarius. While Scorpio works on feelings and intuition, Aquarius works on facts. This is why, even when both signs are discussing the same topic, they can struggle to ever get on the same page.

Gemini

Though Gemini and Scorpio are often drawn to each other, this relationship can be a lot of work because the two simply can‘t see eye to eye. While Gemini likes to befriend almost everyone they meet, Scorpio only believes in forging bonds with the people who‘ve earned it. Gemini thrives on being a social butterfly, while Scorpio tends to benefit from plenty of alone time—and if Gemini uses Scorpio‘s alone time to hang out with the wrong people, Scorpio can get profoundly jealous. And while Gemini can usually smooth-talk and charm their way out of hairy situations, Scorpio‘s keen intuition will instantly alert them any time they‘re not being genuine. However, both signs are incredibly romantic, and sometimes that‘s enough to help them overcome these obstacles.

Sagittarius

Sagittarius and Scorpio often find a relationship falling apart because it‘s so difficult for them to communicate successfully. The two are complete opposites in the way they approach the world, and it can seem at times that they have nothing in common at all. Sag is open and honest, but Scorpio is closed off and secretive. These opposing stances make it difficult for either person to discuss important relationship issues without alienating the other. And while Sagittarius wants to keep things simple and fun, Scorpio is deep and avoidant of anything they find superficial. Sag doesn‘t know why Scorpio can‘t just come out and say how they feel, and Scorpio thinks Sag‘s brash nature is overwhelming. In order for them to both feel heard, they have to do some major compromising when it comes to how they communicate.
