How do you feel about the relationship between scorpio x taurus?
i LOVE scorpio x taurus connections! i think scorpio and taurus placements (namely taurus sun x scorpio sun, taurus rising x scorpio rising, taurus sun x scorpio venus / scorpio sun x taurus venus) flow so beautifully together (i would be more cautious towards taurus mercury x scorpio mercury or scorpio mars x taurus mars; their harsh traits may clash too much here). they're opposite signs, which to me means they're two sides of the same coin, or two pieces in the same puzzle.
VALUES | scorpio and taurus energy, especially in sun/venus, hold the same core values in their connections. number one thing to the both of them is unwavering loyalty and honesty. these signs have major trust issues (we'll touch more on this in the negatives section to follow), but because they're both such upfront authentic individuals, they feel at ease around each other - they can clearly see the loyalty and supportive nature one another carries, allowing them to finally feel their hearts are safe with another person.
INTENSITY | i think we all hear a lot about scorpio intensity in romance - and it's true. but a lot of people don't mention that taureans are about that same level of intensity when it comes to relationships. these two signs are both all-in, all or nothing type of individuals. they're protective, they're committed. when they know, they know. when scorpio and taurus get together for the first time, i think they experience a feeling of mutual love, intensity, and safety that they could never experience with another placement. the depth to these signs love is nearly unmatchable.
HOMEBODIES + SIMILAR ENERGY | taurus and scorpio are generally homebodies; and they generally just do not like people lol. they do well with other individuals who prefer to stay at home doing puzzles or playing videos games rather than going to a club or a party. this is where they just fit together; they meet and realize they have very similar ideas of comfort and relaxation. they also have very similar energy levels (scorpio's being a bit higher), they're not going to be exhausted by the other person having a much higher social drive, for example. they tend to run on the same wavelength majority of the time.
CALM TO THEIR STORM | these two have a beautiful natural balance. scorpio tends to overthink far too much, stress too much, worry too much, etc. taurus tends to be slower-paced, thoughtful - they bring so much calm to scorpio's racing mind. they're able to say just the right things that bring scorpio a newfound sense of relief; and reliable, logical situations to their stresses (which is what scorpio prefers over comfort, generally). on the other hand, scorpio brings a more fire-starting energy towards taurus. sometimes, taurus can be passive and slow, dodge opportunities out of fear and anxiety around change. scorpio is their biggest fan, who not only encourages them to take necessary risks, but provides them with a feeling of comfort and security while doing so. on top of this, scorpio goes out of their way to help taurus realize their potential and think beyond their typical box/scope of comfort; helping them plan along the way.
here's why they don't work (usually undeveloped):
TRUST ISSUES | when undeveloped, taurus and scorpio (especially scorpio) are very untrusting, they're extremely calculated and suspicious individuals who do not open up easily. they may never reach a fully open relationship due to their owns intense fears of vulnerability and rejection. their untrusting nature may make them constantly accuse one another - and since both scorpio and taurus' top pet peeve is being falsely accused - this never ends well.
STUBBORN | plain and simple, we have two fixed signs. these signs are hard-headed, they always think they're right, and they're slow to admit when they're not (if they ever do). unless these two have mastered assertive, non-accusatory communication, they can be in for a lot of intense disagreement. if they have any difference in their wants, needs, values - it's going to be really hard for these two to compromise and make sacrifices, probably two of the worst signs to get to meet in the middle - they both have a "my way or the highway" mindset.
JEALOUSY | these signs are protective - they're also jealous. jealousy is not inherently bad (in my opinion), but undeveloped? that's when jealousy is toxic, controlling, intrusive and unhealthy. scorpio and taurus have extremely bad jealous habits and behaviors when they aren't developed. they may try to restrict one another's freedoms, become passive-aggressive, accusatory, etc if they don't control this jealousy. the mutual jealousy can also easily turn into an unhealthy relationship in which they make minimal contact with others outside of their relationship (aka no friends but one another, by choice).
SPEED | this is minor, and not hugely relationship-crumbling, but worth mentioning. scorpio is water - although fixed, scorpio is free-flowing like a river. scorpio cannot be controlled and scorpio likes to move fast. taurus is fixed earth. taurus does not move, does not change. if taurus changes, it takes a season - or two. taurus may take too long to make moves, decisions, etc. taurus may even TALK too slowly, to the point where scorpio gets frustrated (more common w/ mercury). this will be worsened by a scorpio with a lot of sagittarius placements, or any mutable placements in general. a scorpio with libra placements will be less bothered by this. on the other hand, taurus may find scorpio gets too serious too quickly/becomes overbearing - and it can really freak them out when they're rushed into something they aren't ready for.
CONTROL | continuation of my last point: taurus and scorpio both like to be in control. for taurus, it's more than they are unchanging, and like securing their environment. if scorpio is doing things that they see as a threat to security, they will try to reign scorpio in - which will cause distance and distaste from scorpio. on the other hand, scorpios can also be extremely controlling; and taureans hate being told what to do - so you can see the potential for things to get messy fast.
