Scorpio astrological symbol, love compatibility

Quick summary

  • Cancer, Virgo, Capricorn: their three deepest and most lasting unions.
  • With Pisces, they create an emotional connection few other pairings can match.
  • Aquarius and Leo: two fundamental incompatibilities that often generate frustration on both sides.
  • Scorpio doesn't test out of cruelty, they test because trust, for them, must be earned.
  • What they seek in love: someone who doesn't leave when things get difficult.

If you've ever loved a Scorpio, you know that for them, love is nothing light. They put everything into it: emotions, body, loyalty, their deepest flaws. And they expect the same from the other person. Sometimes they keep their distance to see whether the other person stays anyway: it isn't manipulation, it's protection.

What they're looking for is someone who doesn't stay on the surface, and who doesn't leave when things get hard. Here's what it gives with each of the 12 signs, a score out of 10 each time. For an answer about the two of you, you can also work it out from your two birth dates or from your first names and your signs.

Scorpio with each of the 12 signs

6/10

Scorpio + Aries

Scorpio (Water) and Aries (Fire) form a highly intense relationship. Scorpio is passionate and deeply attracted to Aries' strength, and the courageous Aries is fascinated by the mysterious Scorpio. Their couple life is a matter of strong temperaments: they will experience moments of overflowing passion. However, this mutual intensity can also degenerate into rivalries (both want to dominate). They can have a great love story if each learns to temper their impulses.

8/10

Scorpio + Taurus

Scorpio (Water) and Taurus (Earth) are zodiac opposites, creating very strong attraction. The intense Scorpio is drawn to Taurus' stability, and Taurus is seduced by Scorpio's depth. Their couple is balanced: Taurus secures Scorpio, and Scorpio makes Taurus more expressive. They share values of loyalty and commitment. Their intimacy is passionate, and together they can build a solid relationship if they respect each other.

4/10

Scorpio + Gemini

Scorpio (Water) and Gemini (Air) have little in common. The dark, jealous Scorpio can disturb the lightness-seeking Gemini. The chatty, unstable Gemini can seem too superficial for Scorpio. Their compatibility remains low without a lot of mutual understanding.

9/10

Scorpio + Cancer

Scorpio (Water) and Cancer (Water) share a very strong natural affinity. The two Water signs understand each other deeply and communicate without words. Scorpio is drawn to Cancer's loyalty and gentleness, and Cancer is reassured by Scorpio's protective strength. Their relationship is very intimate and emotional: they support each other through hardships, building a lasting connection.

4/10

Scorpio + Leo

Scorpio (Water) and Leo (Fire) are very different. The flamboyant, extroverted Leo can dominate the sensitive Scorpio. Scorpio, in return, may find Leo too superficial and selfish. Their relationship demands tolerance: Leo must leave more emotional space for Scorpio, and Scorpio must show more warmth toward Leo.

9/10

Scorpio + Virgo

Scorpio (Water) and Virgo (Earth) get along very well. The discreet, loyal Virgo offers Scorpio reliable support, and Scorpio brings passion and intensity to Virgo's life. Their union is serious and deep: both value loyalty and commitment. They work hand-in-hand toward shared goals, making the relationship durable and solid.

4/10

Scorpio + Libra

Scorpio (Water) and Libra (Air) are hardly compatible. The peaceful, superficial (in their eyes) Libra can clash with Scorpio's emotional depth. Scorpio may find Libra too hesitant. Their relationship imposes many concessions: Libra must accept going beyond appearances, and Scorpio must learn to trust more quickly.

8/10

Scorpio + Scorpio

Two Scorpios together live an extremely intense relationship. They understand each other naturally and share the same passions and mysteries. Their complicity is great because they don't hesitate to dive deeply into mutual emotions. However, their shared jealousy and stubbornness can create intense conflicts. If they communicate openly, their union can be very strong.

4/10

Scorpio + Sagittarius

Scorpio (Water) and Sagittarius (Fire) function differently. Scorpio seeks emotional intensity and commitment, while Sagittarius wants freedom and adventure. Without concessions, their relationship is difficult: Sagittarius may judge Scorpio as too possessive, and Scorpio finds Sagittarius too carefree.

8/10

Scorpio + Capricorn

Scorpio (Water) and Capricorn (Earth) can form a solid couple. The passionate Scorpio and ambitious Capricorn share a sense of effort and discipline. Capricorn brings structure and stability to Scorpio, and Scorpio provides Capricorn with emotional support and intensity. Their relationship is serious and lasting.

3/10

Scorpio + Aquarius

Scorpio (Water) and Aquarius (Air) have opposing visions. The progressive, distant Aquarius can seem incomprehensible to the intense, emotional Scorpio. Their relationship lacks common ground. They must learn to listen and accept the other's world, or compatibility remains low.

8/10

Scorpio + Pisces

Scorpio (Water) and Pisces (Water) share beautiful emotional complicity. The two Water signs intuitively understand each other's emotions. The soothing, empathetic Pisces gives Scorpio moral support, and Scorpio offers Pisces security and passion. Their relationship is very intimate.

Two Scorpio together: does it work?

8/10. Two Scorpios together live an extremely intense relationship. They understand each other naturally and share the same passions and mysteries. Their complicity is great because they don't hesitate to dive deeply into mutual emotions. However, their shared jealousy and stubbornness can create intense conflicts.

What if our signs aren't compatible?

These scores describe tendencies, not verdicts: there are Taurus-Aquarius couples that last twenty years and Gemini-Libra couples that don't make it through the summer. To see where the two of you stand, the simplest thing is to look at how well your values and characters fit together, each answering on your own.
