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."

The Pig and Sheep share a uniquely gentle harmonious energy match, one of the most nourishing in all of the Chinese zodiac.
Each of the four Trine Families that lie at the heart of the Chinese zodiac (like the elements in Western astrology) is brought together by a shared type of energy. In the case of the family that includes both the Pig and the Sheep (and their intimate comrade, the Rabbit), the uniting energy bespeaks a strong attachment to home and family. The values that are most important to these two tend to reflect this earnest desire for coziness and harmony. When the Pig and Sheep encounter one another, they are likely to experience immediately a great sense of cosmic reassurance. The Sheep, who can be frequently skittish in other company, will tend to relax all over, secure in the knowledge that the Pig's boundless generosity will not expose them to pressure or discomfort. The Pig, who with some other signs can alternate between naivety and frustration owing to their very trusting nature, finds in the Sheep a pure-hearted ally, whose gently protective spirit will never manipulate or take advantage of them.
Given the opportunity to grow together, these kindred spirits should find their relationship a pathway to nourishment and encouragement in those areas that are dearest to both of them. Artistic endeavours are strongly favoured, as are occasions for intimate merriment (not to mention moderate indulgence). Even for distant acquaintances who meet once in a blue moon, there can be a distinctly loving closeness to interactions between these two.
Whether at a distance or in more familiar contexts, this is a relationship to be treasured, a joy in times of plenty, and a haven from storms.

Mikhail Gorbachev (3/2/1931, Pisces Sheep), Ronald Reagan (2/6/1911, Aquarius Pig) : The 40th US President and the eighth and final leader of the Soviet Union are credited with together ending the Cold War. In a series of meetings between 1985-1988, the two leaders agreed to a significant reduction in arms and transformed the relationship between their respective countries. The Reagan Foundation now records: "The unlikely pairing of a devoted anti-Communist advocate of capitalism with a dyed-in-the-wool Marxist resulted not only in the most significant arms reduction treaty in history, but in a permanent change in U.S.-Soviet relations. Neither country, nor the world, would ever be the same again. Somehow, against all odds, 'Ron and Mikhail,' as they eventually came to call each other, had found a way to make the planet safer after all."
Mike Nichols (11/6/1931, Scorpio Sheep), Emma Thompson (4/15/1959, Aries Pig) : The actor and director/producer collaborated multiple times, including the films, The Remains of the Day (1993), Primary Colors (1998), and Wit (2001), and the TV series, Angels in America (2003). After Nichols died in 2014, Thompson described: "Working with [Nichols] was like going to an eclectic, unorthodox, and highly original university. We would all get to wander about in the corridors and high ceilings of his mind—for free, mind you—each making different discoveries according to our tastes and aptitudes. Then, later, we would find that those discoveries applied to the rest of our lives...As for the laughing, there was no end to it. There were periods of hilarity that I am surprised I survived, let alone him. He laughed and cried in equal measure, to excess and always with good reason. He loved with unparalleled generosity and without reservation. His gifts to those of us lucky enough to have known him can never be measured. It was a lifting up. He lifted us all up.""
Maria Shriver (11/6/1955, Scorpio Sheep), Arnold Schwarzenegger (7/30/1947, Leo Pig) : The actor/politician and and journalist/author were married from 1986 to 2021 and have four children. They separated when, after completing his term as Governor of California, Schwarzenegger revealed to his family that 14 years earlier he had fathered a child with their longtime maid. Schwarzenegger has since described: "I can beat myself up as much as I want — it's not gonna change the situation. So the key thing is, how do you move forward? How do you have a great relationship with your kids? You can't go back — if I could, in reality, be Terminator, of course I would go back in time and would say, 'Arnold … no.' You know, it's always easy to be smart in hindsight. That's not the way it works."
Keegan-Michael Key (3/22/1971, Aries Pig), Jordan Peele (2/21/1979, Pisces Sheep) : The comedian/filmmaker and actor/comedian are close friends, who appeared together in the sketch comedy show, Key & Peele (2012-2015). They also collaborated on the films, Keanu (2016), and Wendell & Wild (2022). In a joint interview, Key described about their friendship: "[Peele] makes my heart giggle...There’s an ineffable quality, and sometimes it’s timing and luck that people just come across each other at a particular time in their lives. They come from similar places and they bring beautifully different perspectives." Peele said, "We’re each other’s funniest person...Whenever we get together, whether it’s been a day or a few months, it’s like there we are … We have a competition to make each other laugh and it’s just the same infectious thing that doesn’t really exist with anyone else. We’re just constantly trying to crack each other up."
John Krasinski (10/20/1979, Libra Sheep), Emily Blunt (2/23/1983, Pisces Pig) : The two actors have been married since 2010, and have two children. They co-starred in the film, A Quiet Place (2018), which Krasinski also directed. Blunt described in 2013: "Meeting John really changed my life. When I feel the support that I have from him, I feel invincible. There’s someone behind you on your good days and someone in front of you on your bad days."
Laura Dern (2/10/1967, Aquarius Sheep), Diane Ladd (11/29/1935, Sagittarius Pig) : The two actors are mother and daughter. They have co-starred in multiple films, including Wild at Heart (1990), Rambling Rose (1991), Citizen Ruth (1996), and Inland Empire (2006), as well as the HBO TV series, Enlightened (2011-2013). In 2023, they are set to publish their first co-written book, Honey, Baby, Mine: A Mother and Daughter Talk Life, Death, and Love (and Banana Pudding). Dern described: "When my mother received a terrifying health diagnosis, we started taking walks. Walks that resulted in us having the deepest, most honest and even the funniest conversations of our lives together. This book is the result of not waiting to share it all and has brought us closer than ever."
Keith Richards (12/18/1943, Sagittarius Sheep), Ron Wood (6/1/1947, Gemini Pig) : The two musicians have collaborated as the two guitarists in The Rolling Stones, since Wood joined the band in 1975. In the documentary film, Shine a Light, Wood was asked what was Richards' best point, and he answered: "Well, he's very moral and he's very caring, unlike his image." Richards described about their playing: "I know the truth, which is like, we're both pretty lousy, but together we're better than 10 others."
