Western Zodiac
Taurus and Scorpio
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."
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."
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."

Compatibility overview
The generous, sympathetic energy between these signs is one of the treasures of the Chinese zodiac.

The essential structure of the Chinese zodiac builds on the four Trine Families. While each sign enjoys very favourable energy with members of their own family, they also have a special Soulmate connection with one sign from their kindred Trine Family. It is this enchanting Soulmate energy that unites the Dog and Rabbit.
The special affinity between these signs can be expected to reveal itself quickly. The Dog prides themselves above all on their values, their sense of right and wrong, and their appreciation for all that is deserving and beautiful. The Rabbit's brand of sensitive idealism, with their gift for aesthetic expression, thus shoots straight to the Dog's heart. On the other hand, the Rabbit can be easily disturbed by drama, showiness, or guile. The plainspoken, trustworthy directness of the Dog will be putting the Rabbit at ease before either has said a word.
Hence this combination is naturally conducive to respect and intimacy from the beginning. As the relationship grows, the potential for supportiveness and mutual progress is virtually unlimited. The Dog's usually forthright persona masks a surprisingly anxious interior life, which the Rabbit's gentle energy soothes, directly and indirectly, whenever they are around. This liberates the Dog to do what they do best—apply their near-infinite capacity for hard work and commitment to the causes that are most important to them. For the Rabbit's part, in other company they may be too overawed or intimidated to fulfil their talents. But the Dog's earnestness and belief in them can provide all the self-confidence they need to prosper.
These two will need to be mindful that their Soulmate energy is something of a high-wire act. It may be enticing and dependable in small doses, but it needs time and dedication to maintain in an enduring close relationship. Conflicting allegiances or distractions can cause real heartbreak here. However, whatever the context, if both parties are able to invest in the relationship appropriately, the instinctive tenderness and admiration that characterizes the Dog/Rabbit pairing can produce one of the Chinese zodiac's most special bonds, as delightful as it is inspirational and productive.

Harley Quinn Smith (6/26/1999, Cancer Rabbit), Kevin Smith (8/2/1970, Leo Dog) : The director and actor/podcaster are a famous father/daughter duo who also collaborate together. The proud dad has told reporters, "[Harley] is amazing...we've been writing together which is so much fun because that's make pretend, right? So you get to play again, which is a rare gift for a parent now." Harley has also described how they work together: "It's crazy because he'll say something and I'll finish a sentence and then he'll be like, 'Yes!

Samira Wiley (4/15/1987, Aries Rabbit), Lauren Morelli (7/22/1982, Cancer Dog) : The actor and writer married in 2017 and have one child together. They first met on the set of Orange is the New Black, while Morelli was married to a man. Wiley described the early development of their relationship in 2018, saying, "I remember those first months with her, trying to figure out her journey with her own sexuality. Feeling like she picked me as the person she was going to talk to about all of it. And it wasn’t sexual, it was just like a friend. There was something deeply intimate about that, whether there was sexual tension there or not. The deep intimacy of being two people talking about the core of who we are. Talking about our journeys."
Andrew Ridgeley (1/26/1963, Aquarius Rabbit), George Michael (6/25/1963, Cancer Rabbit) : The two musicians were schoolboy friends who, as the pop duo Wham!, achieved massive success together. They remained friends after Michael embarked on a solo career. In Ridgeley's memoir, Wham! George Michael and Me, he described how Michael was plagued by self-doubt during the recording of what became the platinum-selling solo album Faith, and Ridgeley gave him this advice: "If he were to stand any chance of finding happiness, he would have to fulfill his talent. He didn’t have a choice. The only thing for him to do next was claim his place as the greatest singer-songwriter of his generation."
Pattie Mallette (4/2/1975, Aries Rabbit), Justin Bieber (3/1/1994, Pisces Dog) : The celebrated musician was born when his mother was 18 and raised by her as a single parent. Mallette later described the troubles of her youth and how she and Bieber achieved success in a memoir, Nowhere but Up: The Story of Justin Bieber's Mom. After a period of separation during a difficult time for the young superstar, they have reconnected. Bieber has explained, "I was distant because I was ashamed. I never wanted my mom to be disappointed in me and I knew she was....She's an amazing woman and I love her." Mallette has posted on social media, "I'm so proud of the amazing young man you are, and the young man you are becoming. None of us are perfect and never will be...I admire your character and integrity. You are maturing beautifully and wise beyond your years."
Conan O'Brien (4/18/1963, Aries Rabbit), Sarah Silverman (12/1/1970, Sagittarius Dog) : This late show host and comedian have played an important role in their respective careers. Reflecting on when they first sat down for an on-air interview 28 years earlier when Silverman was just 22-years-old and starting out, Silverman told O'Brien, "I love your show so much. I do. I love it so much. I mean, the first time I ever was recognized on the street was from your show. Because you’d always have me on. I’ve been on your show for so many years. I grew up on your show. I honestly feel like my whole death reel could just be clips from your show [and] I’d be happy.” O’Brien jokingly responded, "I say aim higher."
Frank Sinatra (12/12/1915, Sagittarius Rabbit), Ava Gardner (12/24/1922, Capricorn Dog) : The legendary musican/actor and actor were married for 6 years but their relationship spanned decades, and they remained friends until Gardner's death in 1990. Sinatra reportedly always kept a photo of Gardner taped to his dressing room mirrors, and a friend of Gardner has claimed that the actress had told her "that she never loved another man as much as she loved Frank."
