Western Zodiac
Scorpio and Scorpio
Compatibility overview
A match between Scorpios brings together two of the most intense signs in the Western zodiac. To be sure, in some respects the result may be overwhelming, for all own-sign combinations have too much energy in some areas and a lack of balance in others. Yet these two also offer each other a safe space, a freedom to explore each other's extraordinary emotional depth and power, which can yield a deeply meaningful and lasting relationship.

By definition, a match between two natives of the same Western zodiac sign involves a shared element. For two Scorpios, that element is Water, the most emotionally-attuned and sensitive element of all. Hence, while there could be some initial provocation given Scorpio's well-earned reputation for larger-than-life provocations, chances are that before long these two will recognize each other as kindred spirits.
The bedrock of shared values between two Scorpios is typically based on acknowledging the full spectrum of existence—the highest of highs, the lowest of lows. Creative instincts tend to be especially strong for this sign, and two Scorpios together will instinctively appreciate the vital importance of expressing their individuality and power through creative means. Expect every combined project to capture the same devotion as if they knew it were their last. Also, there is probably no other sign as consistently hilarious as Scorpio. This sign typically appreciates from birth that the absurd tragedies and wonders of existence are rarely so aptly conveyed as with pure comedy. Thus two Scorpios together tend not only to offer each other precious inspiration and encouragement, but to contribute uproarious laughter into the bargain.
Inevitably, own-sign combinations must at some point deal with having a superabundance of certain energy, and a lack of contrary balancing forces. At times in their lives, Scorpios will almost inevitably find themselves plumbing heart-rending depths of despair. Often, one Scorpio will provide invaluable solace to another, but if their dark periods intersect, it may be a struggle to reach out and help the other. There is also the possibility of competition or jealousy. The Fixed modality of Scorpio emphasizes realization, the translation of their sixth sense for abstract emotive concepts into tangible expression. Should the visions of two Scorpios diverge, power struggles would not be unexpected, and both sides will resist backing down with potentially extraordinary conviction.
On balance, given the whirlwind-like qualities of this match, it may be a challenge to cherish the supportive aspects while living too much in each other's pockets. Stability in the form of sporadic bursts of rewarding intensity may suit many Scorpio/Scorpio pairings best. But Scorpio is nothing if not emotionally sophisticated, and whether in small or large doses, this can be a wonderfully inspiring and transformational relationship.

Whoopi Goldberg (11/13/1955, Scorpio Sheep), Mike Nichols (11/6/1931, Scorpio Sheep) : Actor/comedian/media personality Goldberg and actor/comedian/film-maker Nichols shared a longstanding and supportive friendship. Nichols was credited with discovering Goldberg, after he helped to produce her one woman show (originally titled, "The Spook Show") on Broadway in the mid-1980s. Nichols described to Goldberg in a 2012 interview: "I wanted to meet you and I went backstage and, this had never happened to me before or since, you opened the door and I burst into tears and we fell into each other's arms." Goldberg said, "I can come to you and say, ‘What the hell is going on? Why is my career in such a weird place?’ And you’ll say, ‘Because that’s what our business is. You will always have weird places.’ And every time I talk to you about it, I get it. I get it more. … It calms me down."
Leonardo DiCaprio (11/11/1974, Scorpio Tiger), Martin Scorsese (11/17/1942, Scorpio Horse) : Director Scorsese and actor DiCaprio have shared one of the most celebrated collaborations in movie history. Their five feature films together—Gangs of New York (2002), The Aviator (2004), The Departed (2006), Shutter Island (2010), and The Wolf of Wall Street (2013)—have been nominated for a combined 31 Academy Awards, and have grossed over US$1.3 billion. In 2014, DiCaprio described: "It’s interesting, because I have been doing this since I was 13. I am almost about to turn 40, and I am looking back at some of the stuff I’ve gotten to do, and at the center of it is this amazing accidental collaboration that I’ve gotten to have with Marty...It’s hard for me to quite articulate or put into words everything that I’ve learned from him. These key moments, they’re hard to even reflect on because you sort of have to take a breather and look back and realize how much you’ve actually learned. I’ve grown tremendously as an actor just to be in those moments with him, where he’s giving me the right guidance."
Nick Lachey (11/9/1973, Scorpio Ox), Vanessa Lachey (11/9/1980, Scorpio Monkey) : Actor/model/media personality Vanessa Lachey (née Minnillo) and singer/media personality Nick Lachey have been together since 2006. They married in 2011, and have three children. Describing a short break-up in 2009, Vanessa said in 2022, "We dated for five years. So I finally said, 'What are we doing?' I have now moved in with him, I renovated his entire bachelor pad, there was a bar in the pool. I'm like, 'Whatever you want!' Now I'm like, 'Okay, well, I want to put kids in the pool.'" Vanessa posted to Nick in 2022: "Happy Father’s Day to our GOAT! You are the only one who can constantly make all our babies laugh uncontrollably! You have literally sacrificed everything to be there 100% for them so I can follow a dream (you didn’t even blink an eye). AND you still look hot as hell & dress like a college kid! Man, I’m a lucky Mama! We Love YOU!"
Stacey Weitzman (11/15/1947, Scorpio Pig), Henry Winkler (10/30/1945, Scorpio Rooster) : The two actors have been married since 1978. They have two children, and Winkler is stepfather to Weitzman's child from a previous marriage. Weitzman described in 2019: "The most wonderful thing is to really be able to grow with someone. We’re not the same people we are when we got married. But certain of the tenets you hold dear are still intact...It does take work. There are glitches in the road, and you get a little off kilter, but if you have the ability and the stick-to-itiveness based on love, then your friendship and your relationship only gets better."
Leslie Bibb (11/17/1974, Scorpio Tiger), Sam Rockwell (11/5/1968, Scorpio Monkey) : The two actors have been in a relationship since 2007. They worked together in the films, Iron Man 2 (2010), and Don Verdean (2015). In 2018, after Rockwell won a Golden Globe for Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri (2018), Bibb posted: "[A]bout last night...so proud of you, my beloved, you are the greatest in everything...i am so grateful i got to see that explosion last night...set it all on fire...you’re a force and i love you...and you are kind and generous and the real f— deal."
Diego Maradona (10/30/1960, Scorpio Rat), Pelé (10/23/1940, Scorpio Dragon) : The two soccer players shared a close bond, being generally acknowledged as the two greatest of all time. Pelé wrote after Maradona died in 2020: "Many people loved to compare us all their lives. You were a genius that enchanted the world. A magician with the ball at his feet. A true legend. But above all that, for me, you will always be a great friend, with an even bigger heart. Today, I know that the world would be much better if we could compare each other less and start admiring each other more. So, I want to say that you are incomparable...I love you, Diego. My great friend, thank you very much for our entire journey. One day, in heaven, we will play together on the same team. And it will be the first time that I raise my fist in the air in triumph on the pitch without celebrating a goal. It will be because I can finally embrace you again."

Chinese astrology tends towards polarized judgements about very strong or very challenging matches, but the combination of Horse and Monkey is located more in the middle ground. Certainly there are plenty of positive synergies to help these two forge a meaningful connection.
The lively Monkey loves to be entertained, while the freewheeling Horse is a born entertainer. Similarly, the Horse tends to deeply admire skills and achievements they consider worthy of their time, things the Monkey's brilliant cleverness can provide in spades. Hence these two can fall naturally and happily into an audience/performer dynamic, alternately taking each other's breath away with stories and feats showcasing their respective abilities. The same qualities help these two as a duo attract attention from others—don't be surprised to see crowds gather when these two show what they can do! At a more abstract level, the Horse and Monkey share a deeply compatible creative idealism, a common belief in virtuosity and commitment. As collaborators, they may be more inclined to take turns than to play at the same time, but there is every chance they will agree strongly about what is good or bad.
These two do have some potentially serious headwinds to contend with. Compatibility in the Chinese zodiac is all about the four Trine Families, and the families of the Horse (with the Dog and Tiger) and Monkey (with the Dragon and Rat) have a reputation for tension. While the Horse and Monkey may avoid the worst of this energy (e.g., the Horse and Rat, or the Monkey and Tiger), their instincts can still be very different at times.
The Horse is quintessentially independent, whereas the Monkey loves social connection. The Monkey delights in intrigue, and is extremely adept at handling complex social situations, while the Horse usually prefers to remain aloof or rise above the fray. If a relationship between these signs amplifies rather than addressing these essential differences, the Horse may become remarkably distant or selfish, while the Monkey may be disillusioned, miserable, or bitter.
Ultimately, this is a relationship where sensitivity around communication, and a balance of distance with closeness, can pay significant dividends. If the potentially destabilizing differences can be managed, the extent of mutual admiration and shared values can foster a terrifically rewarding relationship.

Daniel Barenboim (11/15/1942, Scorpio Horse), Jacqueline du Pré (1/26/1945, Aquarius Monkey) : The celebrated classical musicians were married from 1967 until du Pré's death from multiple sclerosis (MS) in 1987. Their marriage attracted controversy, in part because Barenboim reportedly began a hidden family with his second wife (Elena Bashkirova) while du Pré was alive. Barenboim continues to raise money for MS research, and in 2017 described meeting du Pré: "There was chamber music being played and before we spoke we sat down to play together — we played a Brahms sonata — and understood each other musically, perfectly, and then outside of music too...She was [a unique musician,] not exactly very knowledgeable about things to do with music in a musicological or scientific way, but she had an uncanny instinct and quickness of brain that was mind-boggling. She would see a piece for the first time and she was able to not just play the notes but get to the essence of it."
Kevin Costner (1/18/1955, Capricorn Horse), Cindy Costner (10/29/1956, Scorpio Monkey) : The actor and actor/director met in college, before Kevin Costner began his acting career. They were married between 1978 and 1994, and had three children together. During the making of the Costner-directed Dances with Wolves, the two collaborated extensively behind the scenes. Their divorce settlement is one of the largest in Hollywood history. Shortly before their separation, Kevin said: "The temptations are pretty strong—and there’s a hungry world out there waiting for you to fall. So you can’t even dabble without paying a huge price. I try to conduct my life with a certain amount of dignity and discretion—but marriage is a hard, hard gig."
Swizz Beatz (9/13/1978, Virgo Horse), Alicia Keys (1/25/1981, Aquarius Monkey) : The record producer and musician have been married since 2010 and have two children. In 2021, Keys described: "I think one of the things we're really good at is giving each other the space that we need. That's not a hard thing for us. And even just being intuitive about what each other needs is also something that comes really fluid for us. We'll always check in and we're always making sure we're good."
Harrison Ford (7/13/1942, Cancer Horse), Carrie Fisher (10/21/1956, Libra Monkey) : The two actors shared one of the famous fictional relationships of all time as Princess Leia and Han Solo in the Star Wars movies. Shortly before her unexpected death in 2016, Fisher revealed in her memoir, The Princess Diarist, that they had an affair while making the first film in the series, when she was 19. She described contacting Ford prior to publication: "I said [to Ford], 'I found the journals that I kept during the first movie, and I’m probably going to publish them...I’ll show it to you before and you can take anything out that you want taken out. I don’t want to make you uncomfortable'...I wouldn’t have ambushed him like that, but it’s still – no matter if I told him or not, it probably feels like an ambush. It feels like an ambush to me, and I’m the one who wrote it." After Fisher died, Ford released a statement saying, "Carrie was one-of-a-kind, brilliant, original. Funny and emotionally fearless. She lived her life, bravely...We will all miss her."
Rachel McAdams (11/17/1978, Scorpio Horse), Ryan Gosling (11/12/1980, Scorpio Monkey) : The two actors starred together in The Notebook (2004). During filming, tension between the two led to Gosling asking for another actor to read McAdam's part. Director Nick Cassavetes retold: "[Gosling said,] 'Would you take her out of here and bring in another actress to read off camera with me?...I can’t. I can’t do it with her. I’m just not getting anything from this.'...We went into a room with a producer; they started screaming and yelling at each other...They had it out...I think Ryan respected her for standing up for her character and Rachel was happy to get that out in the open. The rest of the film wasn’t smooth sailing, but it was smoother sailing." Later the two actors dated for two years between 2005 and 2007, with Gosling saying at one point, "I mean, God bless The Notebook. It introduced me to one of the great loves of my life. But people do Rachel and me a disservice by assuming we were anything like the people in that movie. Rachel and my love story is a hell of a lot more romantic than that."
Ted Hughes (8/17/1930, Leo Horse), Sylvia Plath (10/27/1932, Scorpio Monkey) : The writers, two of the most celebrated poets of their generation, were married from 1956 until Plath's death by suicide in 1963. They had two children. The relationship remains controversial due to Hughes' infidelity and posthumous allegations of abuse, which Hughes has denied. Plath described about their courtship: "We kept writing poems to each other. Then it just grew out of that, I guess, a feeling that we both were writing so much and having such a fine time doing it, we decided that this should keep on."
Chris Evert (12/21/1954, Sagittarius Horse), Martina Navratilova (10/18/1956, Libra Monkey) : The two legendary tennis players shared one of the most celebrated rivalries in the history of sports, winning 18 grand slam titles each between 1973 and 1988. In 2020, Evert described their evolution from rivals to friendship: "In the beginning, I was beating her; I was practicing with her; we were playing doubles together. Then she started beating me, and I broke up the doubles, because I felt like I was getting too close. We went our own ways...It really wasn't until the end of our careers, maybe the last five years, that we got along well...Martina is definitely one of my closest friends right now. We have no competition. There's no tension in our relationship whatsoever. It's a freeing kind of a feeling. I can really enjoy her and her personality now and she can really enjoy me.

Final Words
The combination of two firstwest natives gives this relationship the dependable bedrock of a shared element, even if overfamiliarity sometimes causes a lack of excitement or makes dispute resolution difficult. The energy between the firsteast and secondeast involves perhaps a little more hesitation, but these signs can greatly admire each other, and with sensitivity and respect are likely to forge a supportive and lasting connection.
