Scorpio - Friendship Compatibility - Scorpio and Libra

When Libra and Scorpio form a friendship, it can be fulfilling and stimulating -- both mentally and emotionally. Libra's balancing energy can counteract Scorpio's brooding disposition. If these two can fuse Libra's exceptional interpersonal skills with Scorpio's determination and drive, they can reach amazing new heights together. Scorpio has more focus than Libra, and Libra can get the ball rolling in the direction both friends want. Libra and Scorpio are steadfast in their loyalty to one another.

This can be a very goal-oriented friendship. It tends to be both highly emotional and intellectual, thus making the bond multifaceted and deep. Scorpio tends to be more patient but also more controlling than Libra. Despite their differences, both friends love risk and taking chances; this is not a boring pair! Libra and Scorpio can have lots of fun together, and both can be quite charming. At times, they have difficulty understanding each other, because Libra is upfront and open, while Scorpio is more mysterious. Both friends need to get together occasionally and decide on some common rules and boundaries.

Libra is ruled by the Planet Venus, and Scorpio is dually ruled by the Planets Mars and Pluto.
Libra's ability to articulate and their love for beauty and romance balance the strife that can arise from the secretive and emotionally obtuse Scorpio. Mars represents passion, so Scorpio's energy fuels an active and exciting time together. Neither will want to argue; Libra doesn't enjoy conflict, and Scorpio will seek secret revenge. It will usually be Libra who calls a truce and comes up with the solutions. Pluto adds an intense edge to this dynamic.

Libra is an Air Sign, and Scorpio is a Water Sign. These two elements can be a great combination
if they work together, using willpower and intellect to get things done. Scorpio is a strategist and
can help Libra slow down and learn how to test the water before diving into it. Libra teaches
Scorpio to relax and cut their losses when their efforts are thwarted. However, Scorpio can be
emotionally manipulative, too much Water watering down Libra's enthusiasm. Conversely, too
much Air can hurl a riptide into the Water and drive Scorpio mad. Libra and Scorpio must plan
and cooperate, rather than coming up with their own agendas to maintain the great sense of
balance between them.

Libra is a Cardinal Sign, and Scorpio is a Fixed Sign. Libra brings a new idea to the relationship,
and Scorpio maintains it. Both expect extreme focus and devotion from their friends. Scorpio can lead Libra toward stabilizing and finishing things rather than jumping from one idea to the next without completing anything. Both are loyal and devoted to each other, and when they can
understand, they can enjoy a satisfying friendship -- Libra providing the reasoning and brain
power, and Scorpio as the passionate, emotional force.

The best aspect of the Libra-Scorpio friendship is the power they find in unity. They can
accomplish a lot together. They are both winners, and they won't give up, making theirs a loyal
friendship that takes care of business.
