Who can take the sting from the scorpion?
By Colleen Fogarty — Written on May 06, 2022
With zodiac compatibility, there are certain signs who mesh very well with others. In this case, there are five zodiac signs that are Scorpio soulmates, according to astrology.
Soulmates need to have a combination of things in common so they can relate to each other. Soulmates will also have astrological differences that complement one another as well.
Scorpios are born between October 23 - November 21, right in the middle of fall. Astrology provides a great insight into who a potential soulmate could be for you based on your element, personality, and season of the year.
These astrological attributes describe Scorpio's personality, attitude, tendencies, and patterns.
Scorpio zodiac sign soulmates
Scorpios can be intense and intimidating, so they need to be with a person who loves this side of their personality, and can understand that behind their mysterious façade is a deeply caring, emotional person.
Having an idea of who Scorpio's soulmate could be can save them and their potential partners a lot of grief during the getting-to-know-you stage of a relationship. Scorpios need someone who is patient and can handle their dark side, while also prompting them to lighten up a bit.
And that's why these five zodiac signs make perfect Scorpio soulmates.
Taurus (April 20 - May 20)
Scorpio and Taurus are sister signs, meaning they lie exactly opposite of each other on the zodiac calendar. Sister signs are opposites in many ways, making them the perfect complement for one another.
For instance, Scorpio is ruled by the planet Mars, the god of war, as well as the Pluto, and Taurus is ruled by Venus, the goddess of love. These opposites, when paired together, can create a beautiful marriage of assertion and agreeability.
These two can learn from each other: Taurus can help soften Scorpio's edges, and Scorpio can keep Taurus from being a doormat.
These zodiac signs also have commonalities that demonstrate soulmate potential. They are both fixed signs, born in the middle of their seasons.
Their fixed modality means that Taurus and Scorpio are steady in their commitments and values. This will allow for a very committed, longevous relationship. But be careful, because it can also make these two very stubborn in an argument.
Nonetheless, Scorpio as a water sign is very sensitive to emotions. While Taurus, as an earth sign, sees logic clearly. Being mindful of each other as well as themselves can allow them to resolve conflicts with care.
Cancer (June 21 - July 22)
Scorpios and Cancers are both water signs, making them well attuned to their own as well as others’ emotions. This will make them sensitive to each other. They feel more comfortable expressing their own deeper feelings because they know that the other will understand.
Cancer is a cardinal sign, so they like to start new things, projects, and ideas, while the fixed Scorpio can help them follow through.
Cancers are very nurturing, which moody Scorpio needs, even if they won’t admit it. Symbolized by a crab, Cancer, and a scorpion, Scorpio, they both understand what it’s like to have a tough exterior to protect their softer insides.
This understanding that they have for each other allows Scorpio and Cancer to not need their protective, hard exteriors to come out in front of one another.
Virgo (August 23 - September 22)
Scorpio’s sensitivity paired with Virgo’s attention to detail can make these two a very considerate couple.
Virgo’s mutability allows them to adapt to Scorpio’s focused mind. They are both very resourceful zodiac signs, making them the ultimate partners-in-crime power couple, even if they use their cleverness for good.
Virgo is ruled by the planet Mercury, the god of communication, so they will know how to get into the mysterious Scorpio’s elusive mind. Scorpio’s watery emotional strength can help earthy Virgo get out of their own heads and think more with their gut than their reeling minds.
Both of these signs tend to be introverted. They are both able to allow their partners space when asked. They understand the individuality they need, but they also enjoy being alone, together.
This pairing is practical and passionate, making Virgo and Scorpio a long-lasting, loving duo.
Capricorn (December 21 - January 20)
Scorpio and Capricorn can both be pretty cynical. Together, they enjoy dark humor and can have deep, philosophical discussions about life.
Fixed Scorpio can help cardinal Capricorn stay on task and realize their grand ideas. This pairing is a slow burn, as neither of them may want to open up very much at first. But that also means that neither of them are too probing towards the other.
When Scorpio and Capricorn finally do open up to each other, they will find a deep connection between them. Scorpio can help Capricorn be more in touch with their feelings, while Capricorn can help Scorpio be more logical rather than stuck in their tumultuous emotions.
Capricorn is ruled by Saturn and is therefore very spiritual. This spirituality, mixed with Scorpio’s intense emotions, can make a profound bond between them. They can expand each other’s understanding of themselves and the world.
Pisces (February 19 - March 20)
Deeply sensitive Pisces and Scorpio can create a caring, loving relationship. Both are water signs, so they are each quite emotionally intelligent.
Pisces' vivid imagination can help intense Scorpio see the lighter side of life. Meanwhile, Scorpio can keep Pisces more grounded to reality. Together, they can have their feet planted firmly on the ground with their heads in the clouds, a balance more people should learn to strive for.
Scorpio and Pisces together in love is an intensely emotional match, which can be a strength or a weakness. But Pisces’ adaptability and Scorpio’s strong intuition will help them navigate any rough roads ahead of them.
Scorpio’s passionate ruling planet, Mars, matched with Pisces' ruling “planet,” Neptune, ruler of dreams, will make this a loving and exciting relationship.
