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."

Ryan Reynolds and Dwayne Johnson (click for attribution/s)

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 (click for attribution/s)

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."

Simply a wonderful match!

The central concept underlying Chinese astrology is that of the four Trine Families. One of these families consists of the Rooster and Snake (along with their most trusted friend, the Ox). Binding these signs together is a spirit of social affairs and commerce—an intuition for reading the tea leaves when it comes to any kind of enterprise or business, and a determination to follow through once opportunities are identified. The Rooster and Snake are likely to catch each other's attention at once.

These are two of the most visually engaging signs in the Chinese zodiac, the Rooster with their fashionista's panache, the Snake with their beguiling, mystical allure. But as soon as they get to talking, they are likely to discover an affinity that goes way deeper than appearances. The Rooster's incomparable flair for understanding social dynamics knits beautifully with the Snake's sixth sense for the philosophical side of human affairs. In no time, these two are likely to be sharing and enhancing each other's insightful commentaries about the state of things, in an atmosphere filled with admiration and enjoyment. Arising out of such interactions, there is a strong prospect of clear and productive direction.

Separately, these two can get overly caught up in themselves—both are prone to conceitedness, after all, and the Rooster's tendency towards self-involvement is matched by the Snake's weakness for somewhat miserly self-indulgence. Together, however, not only will these two usually be able to brush off each other's occasionally difficult traits, but they are likely to powerfully motivate one another to translate their talents into actualization and achievement. Not for nothing is the Rooster celebrated for their extraordinary capacities and resourcefulness, and the Snake too can draw on exceptional powers of commitment and concentration when they free themselves from distraction.

Don't be surprised if these two have each other's backs through thick and thin, nor if their relationship proves an enduring source of brilliant accomplishments and intense enjoyment.

Benjamin Millepied (6/10/1977, Gemini Snake), Natalie Portman (6/9/1981, Gemini Rooster) : The actor and dancer met on the set of the film, Black Swan (2010), for which Portman received an Academy Award. They have been married since 2012 and have two children together. Portman has described: "I met my husband on [the set of Black Swan], so I think I was in, like, dreamland … We had a whole, like, he was teaching me to dance. You know, one of those romantic [stories] … It was definitely exciting and fun. It was beautiful. I don't know about instant. It was like I really got to know him and that was when it seemed like, 'Oh this is the person.'"

Elizabeth Hurley (6/10/1965, Gemini Snake), Shane Warne (9/13/1969, Virgo Rooster) : The actor and cricketer were together in the early 2010s and announced a short-lived engagement in 2011. Warne described later: "I was more in love with Elizabeth than I’d realised I could be. I miss the love we had. My years with Elizabeth were the happiest of my life. I wanted to be better with her."

Jakob Dylan and Bob Dylan (click for attribution/s)

Bob Dylan (5/24/1941, Gemini Snake), Jakob Dylan (12/9/1969, Sagittarius Rooster) : The two musicians are father and son. Wanting to protect the privacy of his legendary father, who in 2016 was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature for his songwriting, Jakob Dylan said little about their relationship until 2005. Then, Jakob described: "When I was a kid, he was a god to me for all the right reasons. Other people have put that tag on him in some otherworldly sense. I say it as any kid who admired his dad and had a great relationship with him. He never missed a single Little League game I had. He's collected every home-run ball I ever hit. And he's still affectionate to me. Maybe he doesn't want people to know that. But I'll tell you, because it's my interview."

Kevin James (4/26/1965, Taurus Snake), Ray Romano (12/21/1957, Sagittarius Rooster) : The two comedian/actors lived together before they each achieved success, and later continued to guest-star on each other's long-running TV shows, Everybody Loves Raymond (1996-2005), and The King of Queens (1998-2007). In a joint interview, Romano said: "We bonded over getting turned down for every audition we went on." James added: "We tried to play a lot of golf, because we didn't have a lot of work."

Jay-Z and Kanye West (click for attribution/s)

Kanye West (6/8/1977, Gemini Snake), Jay-Z (12/4/1969, Sagittarius Rooster) : The two rappers are longtime friends who have collaborated on multiple occasions, including the tracks "Otis", "Never Let Me Down", "Izzo (H.O.V.A)", "Diamonds From Sierra Leone (Remix)", "Run This Town", "’03 Bonnie & Clyde", "Clique", "Heart of the City (Ain't No Love)", and "Encore". Although the two have faced challenges in their relationship, Jay-Z described: "That’s my brother, we’re beyond friends. Really, like literally, my little brother is Kanye. And like your little brother, things happen sometimes...It’s like that. That’s still your sibling forever. I’ve watched Kanye from without an album. The thing that I respect about him is that he’s the same person. Like, he interrupted our studio session, stood on a table and started rapping. And we were like, ‘Could you please get down,’ and he was like ‘No, I’m the savior of Chicago!’ He didn’t have a record."

Dr. Dre (2/18/1965, Aquarius Snake), Ice Cube (6/15/1969, Gemini Rooster) : The two founding members of the rap group, NWA, formed a close collaboration and friendship in the 1980s. After a period of disputation after NWA broke up, in 2016 they appeared together on stage for the first time in 27 years. Cube described: "We just went forward. We're gonna always be like that. I don't care if we don't talk to each other for 10 years, when we see each other, it's gonna be like yesterday."

Oprah Winfrey and Ellen DeGeneres (click for attribution/s)

Oprah Winfrey (1/29/1954, Aquarius Snake), Ellen DeGeneres (1/26/1958, Aquarius Rooster) : The two talk show hosts are close friends, who are also neighbours in Montecito, California. In a 2021 interview, Winfrey told Degeneres: "[Y]ou have shared yourself, the expression of your talent, in a way that has made people feel so much better about themselves all these years, that is what you’ve done, Ellen. It’s so much more than the show...Every single person in your audience who has been touched by you, by your laughter, by your jokes, by your kindness, by your sharing, by your being, that’s your legacy." Degeneres replied: "I love you so much, Oprah. I am, as I say all the time, I am so honored to call you a friend. You are the wisest person I know and I just adore you."
