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 and Mike Nichols

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 and Vanessa Lachey

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."

Sam Rockwell and Leslie Bibb

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."

Pig and Rooster

Compatibility overview

Chinese astrology can often be bluntly positive or negative, but in this case the picture is more nuanced. firsteast and secondeast share some complex energy, which is nurturing and supportive on one hand, yet uncertain and non-committal on the other. The bottom line is that these two can admire each other greatly, and with some delicate handling at times, they can share a truly meaningful connection.

The four Trine Families that are the cornerstone of Eastern astrology work similarly to the elements in Western astrology. Truth be told, the families of the Pig (with the Rabbit and Sheep) and the Rooster (with the Ox and Snake) are not usually thought of as very compatible. In fact there are some problematic matches in this group (e.g., the Pig and the Snake, or the Rooster and the Rabbit). The Pig and Rooster, however, escape the most troublesome aspects of this surrounding energy. In fact, these two share some strong synergies.

The Rooster's dazzling panache almost invariably draws them into the limelight, taking center stage in one way or another. The Pig's generous spirit means they are naturally gregarious, so these two signs can be very comfortable together in social settings or the public eye. The Pig and Rooster are also alike in their somewhat deceptive capacity for devotion and hard work. Outsiders can sometimes suspect that the Rooster is all for show, or that the Pig's indulgent and trusting nature makes them ineffectual. However, such judgements are usually profoundly wrong. These signs are both capable of incredible efforts when they are motivated. Successful pairings between the Pig and Rooster will often inspire and encourage both signs to fulfil their potential, and can provide a very effective shield against negativity or criticism.

The more destabilizing side of this connection arises because of some quite starkly different instincts. The Pig is at heart a peaceable creature, unguarded and sometimes naive, where the Rooster is a more pragmatic tactician, highly adept at navigating and even manipulating social dynamics. This divide can cause feelings of isolation, where both signs feel somewhat invisible in the relationship. These souls both have a weakness for self-absorption when they feel neglected. The Pig may find themselves giving in to self-indulgence or frustration, while the Rooster risks becoming bitter or obsessive about their own disappointment. Plenty of space and communication are advisable here, as well as working to make sure that care and concern does not come across as condescending or insensitive.

With understanding and sensitivity, the strong affinities between these signs can produce wonderful results and lasting happiness in any context.

Jennifer Westfeldt (2/2/1970, Aquarius Rooster), Jon Hamm (3/10/1971, Pisces Pig) : The two actors were together for 18 years before separating in 2015. They met in the late 1990s before either had achieved significant success. Hamm described appreciatively during an awards ceremony: "There’s another person [Westfeldt] who’s actually sitting in the audience who basically told me when I wasn’t working that I was still talented. And she’s stuck with me for the last 16 years, even if the talent question remains up for grabs."

Lleyton Hewitt (2/24/1981, Pisces Rooster), Bec Hewitt (7/23/1983, Leo Pig) : The actor and former tennis professional have been married since 2005 and have three children together.

I couldn't be prouder to have Bec alongside me."

Donnie Wahlberg and Mark Wahlberg

Donnie Wahlberg (8/17/1969, Leo Rooster), Mark Wahlberg (6/5/1971, Gemini Pig) : The two famous brothers and high-profile actors were originally both in the band New Kids on the Block (NKOTB), with Mark leaving before the band's massive success during 1989-1994. Speaking about the reality show Wahlburgers, which focused on the chain restaurant owned by the brothers (with brother Paul Wahlberg), Donnie described: “When the restaurant came about, we started to connect more regularly because of the business, but it didn’t require us to be in the same place...but the show changed that. Not that there were any rifts or anything, but we were off doing our own things and the further you are physically, the easier it is to lose track of the years...The show reconnected us by putting us in the same room together more often...We make the effort to be together more and it has reconnected us in the way that the business alone wouldn’t have.”

Carol Burnett (4/26/1933, Taurus Rooster), Julie Andrews (10/1/1935, Libra Pig) : The comedian and actor have been friends since the 1960s, and have collaborated professionally on many occasions. Andrews has described: "Oh my gosh, yes she is such a great chum! And you know, I’m the bad girl when we get together. She brings out the mischief in me, and she’s the quiet one. It’s very funny."

Ariana Grande (6/26/1993, Cancer Rooster), Dalton Gomez (8/7/1995, Leo Pig) : The singer and real estate agent married at a private intimate ceremony in 2021. Though they have been private throughout their relationship, Grande posted on Gomez's 26th birthday: "Happy birthday to my baby my husband my best friend. I love you infinitely."


Combined Relationship Horoscope

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.
