Scorpio and Taurus

Compatibility overview

This intense match is ultimately as favorable as any in Western astrology, though it is far from plain sailing! On any given subject, firstwest and secondwest are probably as likely to disagree as agree. Challenges, squabbling, competitiveness—such combative tensions are par for the course between these two. Yet, strange as it may seem, this oppositional energy can ultimately turn out to be a pure delight. In the right circumstances, it can be endlessly enriching and entertaining—in short, a brilliant foundation for an enjoyable and sustaining relationship.

Facing each other across the Western zodiac wheel, the six famous Opposition matches attract some of the most powerful energy in all astrology. Scorpio and Taurus will usually recognize a peculiar brand of combative attraction as soon as they meet. Disputation is practically inevitable.

Taurus is famously reliable, careful, and set in their ways. Scorpio's character, on the other hand, is defined by essential fluidity, apt to change in a heartbeat from sweet sensitivity to tempestuousness. Hence Taurus is likely to find Scorpio's instincts consistently unsettling or worrying, while Scorpio will likely find Taurus's attitudes prosaic or sluggish. Taurus also tends to keep their emotions firmly in-check, while Scorpio is as naturally expressive as anyone under the sun. Challenges may take myriad forms, but an underlying sense that Taurus feels Scorpio needs to slow down, while Scorpio presses Taurus to speed up, is usually unavoidable.

There is a take-no-prisoners intensity to the oppositional energy here, as both signs share a Fixed modality. This modality emphasizes productivity and perseverance, meaning neither Scorpio nor Taurus is apt to retreat or compromise. The bewitching quality of Opposition energy, however, means these quite dramatic tensions can in fact strengthen rather than weaken this connection. For one thing, the combative atmosphere between Scorpio and Taurus usually expresses itself not so much as anger or frustration, but as humor, playfulness, or attraction. Indeed, there is just about no combination in the zodiac as consistently hilarious as Scorpio and Taurus when they get together. Furthermore, when these two do agree, the force of their shared convictions can be extraordinary.

Opposition matches like this one are the only kind of match where a shared modality meets compatible elements. Scorpio's Water forms a naturally harmonious partner with Taurus' Earth, so teamwork and collaboration are innate and marked for success. Consciously and unconsciously, these two often share fundamental ideals and objectives for the future, even as they seem at a more superficial level to needle each other like champions.

On balance, this is a thoroughbred of a match, demanding and hard to handle, but simply spectacular when given the freedom to run.

Jessica Lange (4/20/1949, Taurus Ox), Sam Shepard (11/5/1943, Scorpio Sheep) : The actor and actor/writer/director were together from 1983 until 2009, and had two children together. Shepard described in 2010, "[W]e're definitely an incredible match. But, you know, not without fireworks… although at this point, you know, she's the only woman I could live with. Who could live with me! What other woman would put up with me?...Jessica has this absolute honesty. I think it's a direct quality of the midwest, of that background that she's from."

Elaine May (4/21/1932, Taurus Monkey), Mike Nichols (11/6/1931, Scorpio Sheep) : The comedian/writer and director/comedian formed the comedy duo Nichols & May. The worked together for only four years (1959-1962), but they have been described as a critical influence on modern comedy, and have remained friends for over 50 years. In a rare joint interview in 2012, May said: "We were very similar. I mean, he was a Method actor, and I was Method. One of the big strengths was that we really, actually, worked the same way. We found the same things funny; we were both mean and Method. So that was the strength. Also, I found him hilarious." Nichols responded: "I found her hilarious."

Ryan Reynolds and Dwayne Johnson

Dwayne Johnson (5/2/1972, Taurus Rat), Ryan Reynolds (10/23/1976, Scorpio Dragon) : The two actors have been friends for over 15 years. About working together on the film Red Notice (2021), which suspended filming during the pandemic in 2020, Reynolds described: "We made it about 1 or 2 days past the halfway point line. I'm guessing we might've finished the movie if we didn't spend 90 percent of the time dicking around, laughing. I've known Dwayne for like 15 years. So, we tend to spend time trying to make each other laugh, which is a really irresponsible thing to do with Netflix, their money. I think one of the reasons I’ve been friends with him for a long time is he really laughs at himself, which is one of the things I love about him. So if you kinds of parrot back [his lines] just 27 percent faster with a swear word at the end, he’s gone. He leaves the room and he never comes back."

John Corbett (5/9/1961, Taurus Ox), Bo Derek (11/20/1956, Scorpio Monkey) : The two actors have been a couple since 2002 and married in 2020. Derek has described: "It's that twinkle in [Corbett's] eye, that humor. He has a lot of joy in him and I feed off of it. I just love it. And the simplest things can make him so happy, so he makes my day brighter because of that, too. And he's got a wicked sense of humor."

Julia Roberts and George Clooney

George Clooney (5/6/1961, Taurus Ox), Julia Roberts (10/28/1967, Scorpio Sheep) : The two movie stars have appeared together on multiple occasions, including Ocean's Eleven and Twelve, and Clooney's directorial debut, Confessions of a Dangerous Mind, and have a reputation for peerless on-screen chemistry. Roberts has described: "We became instant friends. You know, you just meet people and sometimes you think, ‘I really don’t like that person, I have no reason to not like them, I just don’t like them and I will never change my mind. Then there’s some people, like my GTC [George Timothy Clooney] who you go, ‘OK, I’m gonna know this person until the end of time.’"

Michael Brandon (20/4/1945, Taurus Rooster), Glynis Barber (10/25/1955, Scorpio Sheep) : The two actors have been married since 1989 and have one child. Barber has described: "You would hope after 20 years it would calm down a bit, and I suppose we have mellowed, but it’s still quite volatile. I don’t know, maybe that’s the secret? The one thing is that it’s never boring."

The Rabbit and Pig is one of the most special matches in the entire Chinese zodiac. At its core, Chinese astrology is based on four Trine Families, like the elements in the Western zodiac. The family that includes the Pig and Rabbit—along with their close ally, the Sheep—is the gentlest, most peaceable of the four.

Chances are, these two will sense a delicious calmness fall over them as soon as they meet. The Rabbit's idealistic, artistic temperament tends to feel immediately encouraged and supported by the abundantly generous Pig. The Pig is likely to sense from the beginning that the Rabbit's motives are pure and kind, and that the Pig's trusting nature will never be taken advantage of.

This combination naturally emphasises aesthetics, goodness and compassion—everything that is beautiful in the world. Hence as a duo they will be motivated towards conflict resolution, creative expression, and sensual experience. The vices that can arise for these two souls in other contexts—self-sabotage or irritability for the Pig; fearfulness or isolation for the Rabbit—are mercifully rare or absent when they are together. Instead, this relationship is deeply protective and nurturing.

While the Pig/Rabbit combination is known to contribute a sense of harmony to many families, it is equally true that these two can contribute their magical, family-like energy to any setting where they are welcome and comfortable.

Braff wrote in January 2022, "Happy birthday to this beautiful human being. I am so lucky to know you. And the world is so lucky they get to witness your incredible talent."

In 2021, they reconnected on The Drew Barrymore Show (2020-present), with Barrymore explaining, "We have not seen each other face-to-face, actually, in almost 20 years." Green said on the show, "It's very nice to see you. It does feel weird, though. Not weird in a bad way — weird in a good way. Appreciate it, Drew, so thanks for having me on the show. It's awesome. This is cool. I actually think this is a nice way of reconnecting, actually. It takes a little bit of the pressure off."

[And] another hour. And then he never wants to just beat you. He wants to put his foot on your neck and just...[makes growling sound]. You’re not satisfied with beating me? You want to crush me too? Yup."

Conan O'Brien (4/18/1963, Aries Rabbit), David Letterman (4/12/1947, Aries Pig) : The two late night hosts developed a supportive friendship over many years. In 1994, Letterman famously returned to NBC as O'Brien's guest—after being rejected by the network himself—which gave O'Brien's show a memorable and much-needed boost. Said Letterman on the show, "You guys do an incredible amount of comedy and stuff that is produced that is very high level. The volume and the quality of the stuff just knocks me out. I think you’ve really done a great job to carve out a wonderful identity for yourselves… I think you did a nice job."
