A Taurus man and Scorpio woman are one of the most compatible pairs in the zodiac. Taurus and Scorpio are opposite signs in the zodiac. In theory, opposite signs are the natural partners of each other. In practice, however, some opposite pairs do better than others. Taurus and Scorpio are one of the best matches when it comes to opposite pairs.
Relationship Strengths
Below are some of the greatest points of strength between a Taurus man and a Scorpio woman.
Amazing Chemistry
Scorpio has a reputation for being the “sexy” sign of the zodiac. There is some basis to this reputation, but a Scorpio woman is much more interested in emotional intensity than in physical sensation. When it comes to pure physical sensuality, Taurus deserves that reputation more than Scorpio.
Yet, when a Taurus man and a Scorpio woman get together, the combination is electric. Not only do they have the sheer physicality of Taurus and the passion of Scorpio, but they also have the sexual tension generated by the opposition between the signs.
This chemistry will go a long way towards bringing these two together and keeping them together over the long haul.
Safety and Security
More than anything in a relationship, a Scorpio woman needs security. Many Scorpio women are psychic, and most at least have a high degree of empathy. Psychical touch and intimacy will forge a deep emotional bond for them, whether they are ready for it or not. A Scorpio woman may understand this about herself when she is young, but if she does not, she is likely to experience deep heartbreak in her teenage and young adult relationships. If this happens, it may be hard for her to trust again.
A Taurus man is nothing if not reliable. He is slow to enter into a relationship, but once he does, he will do so for life, unless his partner is unfaithful. This makes him a safe partner for a Scorpio woman to bond with.
A Scorpio woman will, in turn, be completely faithful to a Taurus man. Despite the unfortunate reputation of Scorpio, this is a sign that bonds heart, mind, and soul with a partner, and this is especially true of Scorpio women.
Not only will a Scorpio woman be faithful, but she will also instinctively understand what she needs to do so that she does not inadvertently arouse jealousy in a Taurus man. She is prone to jealousy as well, so she will be able to draw on her own feelings to know how to reassure him.
Deep Commitment and Loyalty
A Taurus man and a Scorpio woman are both fiercely loyal, and neither of them enters into a commitment lightly. This gives them staying power through the ups and downs of their relationship.
Any relationship, no matter how compatible, will go through difficulties. Life presents many different challenges and hurdles which can tear at relationships and break them apart. If any relationship is going to survive, both partners must make the decision that they will stick with it, no matter how hard it might get.
This is where a Taurus man and a Scorpio woman will excel. Both of them have tremendous stamina. If they decide to be together, there is nothing that could happen that will shake their commitment to each other and their relationship. This is a combination that is specifically designed to weather the storm.
Balance
One of the reasons that opposite signs make natural partners for each other is that they balance each other. This means that each of them can give the other what the other lacks.
In the case of a Taurus man and a Scorpio woman, a Taurus man is calm and peaceful. He has simple needs: pleasant and comfortable surroundings, good food, and good sex. He is happiest on his couch with his remote control, watching the same movies and tv shows over and over again. What he lacks is excitement.
A Scorpio woman is many things, but she is not boring. She has strong passions and deep, stormy emotions. She is powerful and relentless, moving heaven and earth to achieve her goals. Scorpio represents the best and the worst that a woman can be, but she has no interest in moderation. What she lacks is peace.
A Scorpio woman is just the person to get a Taurus man out of his chair from time to time. In turn, a Taurus man is just the person to give a Scorpio woman the peace and rest that she desperately needs.
Relationship Challenges
Every relationship has challenges, even those that are highly compatible, such as a Taurus man and a Scorpio woman. Below are some of the main challenges for this couple.
Stubbornness
Often the greatest virtues of a sign are also their greatest faults. When it comes to a Taurus man and a Scorpio woman, they are both steadfast, with great staying power. The downside of this is that they are both extremely stubborn.
Most of the time, these two will naturally get along and will run into few conflicts. When they cannot see eye to eye, however, it will be hard for them to compromise or come to any form of agreement.
This means that even though a Taurus man and a Scorpio woman will not have many fights or arguments, the ones that they do have can be extremely difficult to resolve. Resentments between them can go on for days, weeks, months, or even years.
Household Chores
Household chores have the potential to be a huge area of conflict for a Taurus man and a Scorpio woman. In this day and age, a Scorpio woman is very likely to have a career. If she does not have a career, she will be involved in a cause or a part of some organization outside the home. A Scorpio woman will be dedicated to her career and will not want to be tied down with domestic duties.
A Taurus man will generally have greater talents in the domestic arena. On the other hand, conservative beliefs about gender roles and a tendency towards laziness will often keep him from contributing as much as he should around the house. It will certainly be hard for him to take the initiative to be sure that things get done.
This can lead to a great deal of resentment on the part of the Scorpio woman, especially if this hampers her career goals.
Communication
For the most part, a Taurus man and a Scorpio woman will understand each other intuitively. They generally will naturally fall into a pattern regarding their respective roles and responsibilities in their relationship. This is a good thing because verbal communication can be a challenge for them.
The reason that this will be such a challenge will come primarily from the Taurus man. A Taurus man wants nothing more than peace and quiet. He will silently put up with many minor irritations in the interests of not wanting to rock the boat or engage in conflict.
With many other signs, this strategy might be effective. A Scorpio woman is usually empathic, however, so she will know that there is something wrong even if he does not say anything. Furthermore, she will not just let it go.
It is almost impossible for a Scorpio woman to sense that there is something that the Taurus man is not telling her, and she will dig and pry until she knows what is wrong. At first, the Taurus man will deny anything is wrong and stonewall her attempts at communication. This will cause her to redouble her efforts.
Eventually, the Taurus man will get so frustrated and angry that he will lose his temper. It takes a long time for a Taurus man to get angry, but when he does, it is legendary. A Scorpio woman will give as good as she gets, so this could lead to a huge fight that will be difficult to resolve.
Points of Advice
While a Taurus man/Scorpio woman relationship is generally very compatible, there are a few points of advice that will avoid some of the pitfalls that can arise.
To the Taurus Man
The best thing that you can do for your relationship is to make sure to do your fair share around the house. You probably have many talents in the domestic arena, and to be honest, you will probably find that you enjoy household tasks. In particular, cooking and gardening are tasks that you can take on that you will likely excel at. There is nothing wrong with a man who can cook.
Even though you would prefer to avoid conflict, it is important to be honest with your Scorpio woman. If there is something wrong, she will know whether you tell her or not. It will save you a lot of trouble in the long run if you just speak what is on your mind.
To the Scorpio Woman
It is good for you to remember that in most cases, the things that drive you crazy in your Taurus partner are the very things that attracted you to him in the first place. He is not as driven or as ambitious as you, and no matter how much you nag him or push him, that is not going to change.
Even though this may be frustrating to you at times, this is why he makes such a good partner for you. Everyone needs rest and relaxation every now and then, including you. Appreciate his calming presence and allow him to teach you about the sensual joys of life.
Also, as much as you can, let things go. It is normal for partners to become annoyed with each other. If he is annoyed with you and refused to talk about it, it is probably because it is not a big enough problem for him to want to expend time and effort on it. Respect that.
To Both
Work on your ability to be flexible and compromise. When there is conflict, do your best not to dig in your heels. Redirect your determination towards preserving your relationship rather than towards your need to be right. Even though you have excellent non-verbal communication, make a commitment to talk to each other about what is going on as well.
