Libra and Scorpio

Compatibility overview

As a match between adjacent signs around the Western zodiac wheel, the combination of firstwest and secondwest has not always enjoyed the best reputation. Orthodox astrology suggests that these two may be most comfortable remaining at arm's length, much like real-life neighbors who fear that over-familiarity could backfire in the future. With time, however, these two can prove to be highly effective collaborators, capable of developing a close and deeply supportive bond.

The Semi-Sextile connection shared by next-door signs Libra and Scorpio has traditionally attracted some skepticism. For starters, this is a minor aspect—one of only two (with the Quincunx)—meaning the energy is somewhat indeterminate. This can feel powerfully liberating at times, but it can equally contribute a certain aimlessness to the relationship.

The real uncertainty here, however, stems from the respective elements. Libra is a quintessential Air sign, a devoted explorer of intellectual realms. They sample multitudes of ideas with great enthusiasm, seeking out the most diverse sources they can find, and rarely taking concrete action without extraordinary research and reflection. Scorpio, by contrast, is a profoundly emotional creature, a deeply sensitive yet powerful presence who cannot help but experience life as a spectrum of extreme highs and lows. Early interactions between Libra and Scorpio may thus struggle to find common ground. Libra may find Scorpio much too serious, as if Scorpio's legendary sense of humor is too cutting, and Scorpio's moods generally are claustrophobically brooding and depressing. For Scorpio, on the other hand, Libra may seem altogether too flighty and superficial, as if they flit around annoyingly on the surface of life without ever penetrating the real existential substance that is most important.

This kind of initial wariness means many Libra and Scorpio pairings never progress beyond a respectful distance. If these two signs take the time to understand each other better, however, some marvelously surprising results may occur. Libra's pure Cardinal modality, which emphasizes unbridled creativity and new beginnings, complements perfectly Scorpio's Fixed energy, a driving force towards actualization and productiveness. Mutual projects may have to accommodate the signs' different instincts, but in fact Libra and Scorpio are natural collaborators. Their combined output may be highly creative and original, and gain considerable momentum over time. These signs also have much to learn from each other. Libra, for example, may find that in Scorpio's company they take themselves more seriously and are less likely to procrastinate. Scorpio, meanwhile, can enjoy a break from weighty intensity, and enjoy the kind of effortless sociability and enthusiasm Libra is famous for.

Ultimately, these two may never shake a sense of respectful difference, and independent spheres of activity are probably inevitable. Yet the affinities between Libra and Scorpio may contribute eventually to a dependable, warm, and greatly rewarding bond.

Matt Damon (10/8/1970, Libra Dog), Jimmy Kimmel (11/13/1967, Scorpio Sheep) : Actor Damon and talk show host Kimmel have shared a legendary fake "feud" for almost 20 years, verbally jousting with each other on the show, Jimmy Kimmel Live! (2003-present), and at multiple Academy Awards ceremonies. Their relationship began one night in 2005, when Kimmel ended his show by saying, "Apologies to Matt Damon, but we ran out of time." Damon explained in 2021: "I'd never met Jimmy. He literally pulled my name out of thin air one night...He could've said, you know, George [Clooney] ― he could have said somebody else. But he just, for some reason, maybe I had a movie out that week or something, but he just said my name. And it changed the course of both of our lives. We've kept this feud going for, you know, it's gotta be 15 years now. I've had a lot of fun doing it."

Serena Williams (9/26/1981, Libra Rooster), Ciara (10/25/1985, Scorpio Ox) : Singer Ciara and professional tennis legend Williams share a longstanding close friendship. Ciara described in 2022: "I think the key to our friendship is the fact that when we get together it's not about what we do in our professional lives — it's about being free to experience our authentic selves with each other. The world gets to see her passion for tennis when she's on the court, but behind the scenes she carries that same passion and enthusiasm."

SZA and Doja Cat

Doja Cat (10/21/1995, Libra Pig), SZA (11/8/1989, Scorpio Snake) : Singer/songwriter SZA and rapper/singer/songwriter Doja Cat share a supportive friendship. They have collaborated on the tracks, "Kiss Me More" (2021), and "Kill Bill" (2023), with the former winning the Grammy for Best Pop Duo/Group Performance in 2021. Interviewing Doja Cat in 2021, SZA described: "I really feel like I relate the most to you because...I always felt like I couldn’t fit into anything. That my music isn’t 'Black enough' with 'Drew Barrymore.' Or I’m doing s— that’s strange. I never felt that as a Black girl, I could make music and be in these realms. You make music in all these other realms and make it sound like it touched my inner mind and spirit. It’s like, you’re exactly who I needed when I was in high school [and] college. I just wanted to feel like it’s ok to be an individual that isn’t really planted but is highly mutable and superfluid. Working with you was literally my dream."

Mira Sorvino (9/28/1967, Libra Sheep), Christopher Backus (10/30/1981, Scorpio Rooster) : The two actors have been married since 2004 and have four children. Sorvino described in 2021: "Date nights kids are absolutely essential when you have four children, because so much of your time is spent parenting. You're next to each other, but you're relating to your kids, rather than to each other. So we'll go on date nights where we'll leave the kids with our trusted, wonderful, amazing nanny. We'll go to a hotel somewhere...or maybe we'll go to Beverly Hills, or Venice Beach, or just someplace out of our zone, and just go to a dinner ... so that we get to be a couple, not a couple with children, just for that moment. That's really important."

Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet

Kate Winslet (10/5/1975, Libra Rabbit), Leonardo DiCaprio (11/11/1974, Scorpio Tiger) : The two actors share a strong friendship. They famously co-starred in the film, Titanic (1997), and later collaborated again in Revolutionary Road (2008). Winslet described in 2021: "Do you know Leo just turned 47? I turned 21 on that shoot [Titanic], and Leo turned 22...[On hearing that Di Caprio had complained about the arduous Titanic production] I remember! I remember that he was [miserable]! It wasn’t pleasant for any of us, but we were all in it together. Though he had way more days off than I ever bloody did. I guess I was raised to be grateful and just get on with it. I didn’t feel it was my right to be miserable, and if I was miserable I certainly would not have let a journalist know...[About meeting for the first time in three years] I couldn’t stop crying, I’ve known him for half my life! It’s not as if I’ve found myself in New York or he’s been in London and there’s been a chance to have dinner or grab a coffee and a catchup. We haven’t been able to leave our countries. Like so many friendships globally, we’ve missed each other because of Covid. He’s my friend, my really close friend. We’re bonded for life."

Graham Greene (10/2/1904, Libra Dragon), Evelyn Waugh (10/28/1903, Scorpio Rabbit) : The two celebrated British novelists shared a close friendship. Greene wrote in his autobiography, Ways of Escape (1980): "I was for many years puzzled by [Waugh's] reputation for rudeness and cruelty—I must have known him well for nearly a dozen years without seeing any example to justify it. I had even stayed with him several times in the country (a feat regarded as extraordinary by some of his friends) and had seen only an excellent and witty host, one who disguised his own inner torment in drollery rather than disturb his guest...Those who have built Evelyn up as a sort of sacred monster have left out the other side...When I come to die, I shall wish he were beside me, for he would give me no easy comfort."

Gavin Rossdale and Gwen Stefani

Gwen Stefani (10/3/1969, Libra Rooster), Gavin Rossdale (10/30/1965, Scorpio Snake) : The two musicians met and began a long-distance relationship when their respective bands—No Doubt (Stefani) and Bush (Rossdale)—toured together in 1995. They were married from 2002 to 2016, and have three children. While they were together, Rossdale reportedly had affairs with Courtney Love and their children's nanny, discovered he had a 15-year-old lovechild, and admitted an affair with the male singer Marilyn in the 1980s. Stefani once said that No Doubt's album, Rock Steady (2001), was "[A]bout how hard it is having a relationship that's not only long-distance but also between two people in different touring rock bands." In 2020, Rossdale said: "It's a lifetime. I still think [Stefani]'s incredible. It was a lovely 20 years and we have three amazing children. There were a lot of positives, and with time they'll become more and more obvious."

Read more about the LIBRA RABBIT and SCORPIO TIGER combined zodiac signs...

Among the four Trine Families that essentially define Eastern astrology (similar to the elements in Western astrology), there are two pairs of compatible families. One such pair is made up of the Rabbit family (with the Pig and Sheep) and the Tiger family (with the Dog and Horse). The combination of Rabbit and Tiger thus benefits from beautiful surrounding energy.

The Rabbit is known above all for their artistry and gentle nature. While the Tiger tends to be somewhat more abrasive, they are likely to feel great respect for the Rabbit's aspirations and tender-heartedness. The Tiger, of course, is an ambitious leader who prides themselves on the pursuit of justice and equality. The demure Rabbit is likely to admire greatly the Tiger's noble instincts and to believe them complementary to their own aesthetic ideals. In early interactions, this atmosphere of admiration and respect can be conducive to amiable conversation, flirtatiousness, and dependable trust. Over time, the relationship has the potential to go from strength to strength, as the Rabbit and Tiger discover that their compatible outlooks can easily be accommodated together into joint projects or lifestyles.

There is always the possibility that mutual admiration might not always translate into closeness. Indeed, occasional distance may be advisable or necessary. The Rabbit's acute sensitivity means they may sometimes find the Tiger too dictatorial, direct, or wilfull. In the eyes of the Tiger, the Rabbit may seem overly fragile, as lacking determination or too easily knocked off course. Whatever the context, a clear division of labor may be helpful. This can allow each sign to manage their own business in their own way, with the other sign offering advice without interference. Strategies of this nature can fall into place relatively easily, however, such is the natural affinity between these signs.

At the end of the day, whether their connection is a brief interlude or a lifelong commitment, a match between the Rabbit and Tiger has great potential for warmth and wisdom, and may enrich both of their lives profoundly.

Jack and Meg White

Meg White (12/10/1974, Sagittarius Tiger), Jack White (7/9/1975, Cancer Rabbit) : For many years, the two-piece band The White Stripes (1997-2011) presented themselves as brother and sister, until it was discovered that they had been married from 1996 to 2000. Though Jack White was usually regarded as the band's driving force before their break-up, he has emphasized Meg's critical contribution: "I would often look at her onstage and say, 'I can't believe she's up here.' I don't think she understood how important she was to the band, and to me and to music. She was the antithesis of a modern drummer. So childlike and incredible and inspiring. All the not-talking didn't matter, because onstage? Nothing I do will top that."

Caitlin McHugh (5/13/1986, Taurus Tiger), John Stamos (8/19/1963, Leo Rabbit) : The actor and actor/model were engaged in 2017 and married in 2018. After the birth of their son in 2018, Stamos published on Instagram: "From now on, the best part of me will always be my wife and my son. Welcome Billy Stamos (named after my father)  #NotJustanUncleAnymore #Overjoyed."

Gabriel García Márquez and Julio Cortázar

Julio Cortázar (8/26/1914, Virgo Tiger), Gabriel García Márquez (3/6/1927, Pisces Rabbit) : The Colombian and Argentinian (nationalized French) novelists were close friends. Years after Cortázar's death in 1984, Márquez described: "I preferred to go on thinking of him as he undoubtedly would have wanted, with immense rejoicing that he had existed, with deep joy at having known him, and gratitude for his having left the world a body of work that may be incomplete but is as beautiful and indestructible as his memory."

Robert Graham (8/19/1938, Leo Tiger), Anjelica Huston (7/8/1951, Cancer Rabbit) : The actor and sculptor were married from 1992 until Graham's death in 2008. Huston has described: "[N]othing is perfect, particularly when you’ve had a life like mine and the imperfections are as interesting as the perfections, if not more so. It wasn’t that Bob wasn’t perfect, because he was close to perfect, but he was an artist. One of the things that I really liked about Bob was I thought, Well, if I croak tomorrow, it certainly wouldn’t be the end of his life. There was a lot that Bob had that did not depend on me. He was off on his own plane in a way. I could look at something that Bob made and go, 'How the [expletive] did he do that?'"

Victoria and David Beckham

Victoria Beckham (4/17/1974, Aries Tiger), David Beckham (5/2/1975, Taurus Rabbit) : The footballer/businessman and singer/fashion designer married in 1999 and have four children together. As former members of Manchester United/England and The Spice Girls, and now fashion icons, they have one of the most famous relationships in the world. David Beckham has described: "We’re a strong family unit. We’ve got strong parents. We were brought up with the right values. Of course you make mistakes over the years, and we all know marriage is difficult at times. It’s about working through it. We know each other better than anybody. People have talked about, 'Do we stay together because it’s a brand?' Of course not. We stay together because we love each other, because we have four amazing children."


Combined Relationship Horoscope

Final Words

The semi-Sextile energy between firstwest and secondwest is well-known for its initial nervousness, as these signs often need to reconcile their significant differences before accessing their full potential for creativity and devotion. Happily, the firsteast and secondeast attract excellent fortune and tend to be naturally supportive, even in the most demanding circumstances. With sensitivity and independence, this relationship is a terrific recipe for achievement, durability, and kindheartedness.
