Scorpio - Friendship Compatibility - Scorpio and Taurus

When Taurus and Scorpio form a friendship, the result is two signs opposite one another in the
Zodiac coming together -- a blending of two halves. Signs in polarity such as these often combine
to make a whole, each friend's strengths balancing the other's weaknesses. Signs in polarity
often feel a strong pull to one another, and when they are together things can get extreme!
Taurus and Scorpio have a great deal in common, but because they both bring such powerful
personalities to this friendship, the tone often goes back and forth from enthusiasm to
enthusiastic contention!

Taurus and Scorpio enjoy working together toward acquiring possessions: Taurus wants material goods, and Scorpio wants power. Both of these signs are preoccupied with wealth and resources, including inheritances and taxes. They are both passionate about all aspects of life. They complement each other because Taurus is more about the self, while Scorpio is about the
immediate group, including family. Additionally, Taurus is more direct whereas Scorpio is
mysterious. Because of their differences, both signs can grow and learn from each other -- that is, if they can agree to compromise.

Taurus is ruled by Venus, and Scorpio is ruled by Mars and Pluto. This combination is very
intense, thanks to Pluto's influence, but it's a good balance of masculine and feminine energy.
The two signs coming together form the basic foundation of human relationships -- Venus' love
and Mars' passion. Venus and Mars go well together; Venus is about beauty, and Mars is about
passion. Scorpio is intense, and Taurus is attracted to this intensity; in turn, Scorpio enjoys the
devotion inherent in Venus-ruled Taurus.

Taurus is an Earth Sign, and Scorpio is a Water Sign. Scorpio is a very deep sign; it's an ocean,
and too much upset will cause a tidal wave! Scorpio emotionally recedes and recedes, then
suddenly roars back with a vengeance. Taurus and Scorpio are strongly loyal to each other, a
product of their mutual need for emotional security. While Taurus is open, with everything laid
bare on the surface, Scorpio is more focused on the undercurrents of life. Scorpio can show
Taurus beyond the literal surface, while Taurus can teach Scorpio to speak more frankly.
Additionally, Scorpio appreciates the Taurean practicality, and Taurus enjoys Scorpio's jealousy
it proves they are appreciated.

Taurus and Scorpio are both Fixed Signs. Once they have a common goal, nothing will get in the
way. If the opinions of these friends differ, though, explosions may ensue! It often appears that
Taurus dominates the pair, but that isn't always the case. Sometimes Scorpio won't even agree to disagree, although they might pretend to give in, later gaining revenge through emotional
manipulation. It's important for these friends to discuss what is truly important to them so they can reach an equitable compromise. Once Scorpio learns to trust Taurus and understand the
implications of a friendship", the pair can achieve almost anything through sheer determination.
The friendship will only fail if these two truly cannot overcome their opinionated, fixed sides.

The best aspect of the Taurus-Scorpio friendship is their powerful teamwork when they agree on their goals. When Scorpio realizes that Taurus is there for the long term -- and will not create the misery that some Scorpios attract to their lives -- this friendship can blossom. Their mutual
determination makes theirs a bond of formidable strength.
