I was talking to a friend last night about horoscopes and astrology. I read my horoscope every day. I "subscribe" to a couple on Facebook. It's funny how they are never the same. One usually focuses on work stuff and the other romance stuff. One seems to focus A LOT on romance stuff and according to it, men find me mesmerizing, magnetizing, and are on the brink of confessing undying love for me.
She takes that kind of stuff kind of seriously, especially sign compatibility. I told her that I had read once that since I'm a water sign, I was best suited for another water sign -- like Cancer or Pisces -- and am always hoping to meet men who fall under those signs. It hasn't happened. She told me that I was mistaken and that my sign, Scorpio, is actually better suited to an "opposite" sign. So, I did some research tonight after happy hour and searched for "signs opposite Scorpio" and "compatibility".
I've mentioned before that mostly everything I've ever read about my sign is fairly true and eerily accurate. I say "most". Some of it doesn't sit with me. Maybe because I like to recreate myself every now and then -- or have had things happen to make me be less.. reserved... and I don't really consider myself a jealous sort. I get envious on occasion. But, the only times I've ever truly felt jealousy about another person has been when my confidence levels are low. I'm more apt to walk away or dig my heels in and fight. I've had guys try to "make me jealous" in the past by flirting with other women in front of me and my take was usually, "You're an ass to want her when you could have me." and I moved on. I don't try to make men jealous. What's the point? Jealousy is rooted in low self esteem. I try not to think too much about comparing myself to someone else.
My opposite sign is Taurus. This makes me giggle because my male co-worker and friend is a Taurus. Maybe this is why I enjoy picking at him so much and am constantly trying to figure out his brain.
So, here's what I've eked out of the internet about Taurus and Scorpio. I'm taking it with a grain of salt. I'm pretty sure I dated a Taurus once and we did not click and my mom is a Taurus and she and I do not get along very well. I have not edited these paragraphs in any way except to highlight (underline) the traits I believe are true of me. I am not making any commentary on my observations of my current friendships with Taurus folks. This is just for educational purposes. Entertainment purposes. I am not rushing out and gathering up all of the Tauruses (or is that Tauri?) I can find to test these theories.
A friendship between a Taurus and a Scorpio involves a relationship between two signs that lie opposite each other in the Zodiac. Star signs with polarity such as these complement each other well. They feel a strong attraction to each other, resulting in a stimulating combination. Taurus and Scorpio are similar to each other in a lot of ways. But their strong individualities could make them swing to and fro between friendship and contention.
Taurus and Scorpio love to collaborate with each other to make their mark in life; Taurus always after wealth, and Scorpio always after power. Both partners are focused on worldly possessions and social positions, but they enjoy other aspects of life, as well. They balance each other well, as Taurus are completely focused on self, while Scorpio are all about family and friends. Taurus are more open and honest, while Scorpio are more subtle and mysterious. Both partners should control their differences, and then they could learn from each other.
The ruling planet of Taurus is Venus, and the ruling planets of Scorpio are Mars and Pluto. Mars and Venus go well together. Their combination represents a good balance of masculine and feminine energy, and Pluto’s influence makes it more dynamic and intense. A combination between Taurus and Scorpio arises from the very base of human instincts: Venus’ love and Mars’ passion. Taurus love the intensity of Scorpio, and Scorpio love the dedication of Taurus.
Taurus is an earth sign, and Scorpio is a water sign. Scorpio are capable of strong and deep feelings. Continual suppression of emotions by Scorpio could result in violent powerful outbursts of uncontrolled passion. The bull and the scorpion express a strong fidelity to each other, a trait springing from their need for emotional security. The bull is more frank and honest and lay bare its feelings openly, but the scorpion is more reserved and reticent. Scorpio could teach Taurus how to look beyond the surface and in depth into things, while Taurus could teach Scorpio to be more frank and direct. Scorpio love Taurus logical mind; and Taurus love Scorpio jealous nature, it makes them feel they are wanted.
Taurus and Scorpio are fixed signs. Once they have established their aims and objectives, they would stop at nothing to attain them. However, any disagreements could lead to violent outbursts. It might appear that Taurus dominate the partnership, but appearances can be deceptive. Even though, Scorpio give in for the moment, they exact their revenge sooner or later through emotional control. Taurus and Scorpio should always communicate to each other and keep things at a balance. Once they trust each other, their combined resolute nature could help them go to great lengths. But their friendship could be seriously affected if both friends refuse to relax their stubborn nature.
The most notable aspect of a friendship between a Taurus and a Scorpio is the sheer strength of their combined efforts once they have agreed on their aims and objectives. Once they have settled down and are comfortable with each other, their joint resolution makes them a very formidable team.
Taurus and Scorpio, here's a combination that can be successful!
The Taurus and Scorpio are opposite zodiac signs which attract each other very often. The interesting thing about opposite astrological signs is that they do share a common theme, helping them to see eye-to-eye from time to time. Both of them are attracted to the other’s strong personality and willingness to commit in the relationship.
The epitome of the strength, a Taurus man is very calm and collected human, who knows how to put all of his time and efforts and channelize them into one direction to produce incredible results. The majority of the time his emotions are predictable and moderate. The exception to this is when he has been pushed to the very edge of his limits, when he displays a surprisingly frightening temper or stubbornness. He always prefers his lady love to be feminine through and through, holding tightly onto traditional gender roles. Allowing him to take the lead makes him happier in the relationship.
The Scorpio woman has a glorious womanhood that comes off as sweet-natured, perhaps a bit quiet, and very intelligent, but there is much more going on under the surface. She is a truly complicated woman, and one of the most difficult types to understand. A mastermind of understanding the emotions and motivations of others, she is not readily willing to give up her own. It takes a special type of man to make her feel as though she can sincerely trust him. But during her courtship with the right person she is strongly loyal and fine woman with all qualities of head and heart.
Since Taurus and Scorpio are opposite signs of the zodiac, so it is inevitable that they both are magnetically drawn towards one another, especially the Taurus man feels dipping into the mysterious beauty of his Scorpio female. She has a taste and standard that he appreciates highly with such grace that is adorable to the depth of heart. She makes a very encouraging mate, who always admires the courage and ambitious nature of her Taurus male and even helps him to achieve his goals in all the possible ways. She is very loyal and dependable companion and so much more magnetic to get away. But this woman has got a strong desire to be the dominant one in the relationship; moreover she can actually be cruel if not handled with affection. For a Taurus man to have a Scorpio woman needs a lot of patience so that she can take her own time to surrender and also display of love and loyalty to keep her calm and intact.
As the Scorpio woman falls for the Taurus man, the result is powerful and soul-transforming. Both of them are seriously driven and can become obsessive about their love and relationship. He lovingly nurtures her and gives her a lot of care and devotion. He is always there beside her to protect and love her in all the ups and downs of life. He admires the intellect of his Scorpio woman and always supports her in career and also other aspects of life. But with him, she needs to remember that he is the man and she is the woman. In addition to this, they both have a tendency to get jealous and possessive of their lovers. However, his emotions are relatively simple while Scorpio woman’s is undeniably complex. When a fight flares up, he initially shows an impressive amount of patience with her, but has a difficult time understanding exactly what is going on inside of her.
When such a romantic and passionate couple falls for a stronger bond beyond love, which is actually unconditional and completely gratifying love, their togetherness becomes warmer and smoother. The Taurus man brings some rich humor to his Scorpio woman’s life making her eyes brighter and she brings heartwarming passion which makes him more lively and romantic. Their devotion towards each other lasts for a lifetime with the gift of some extra dimensions and colors of beautiful emotions and lighter and lively shades of romance. The flowers of their intense loyalty and empathy give greater rewards throughout their life and keep their promises burning high under their unwavering satisfaction.
Taurus man and Scorpio woman makes a passionate and emotional sexual pairing. For both of them sexual expression is no less than an act of worship to strengthen their relationship. When the Taurus man and Scorpio woman takes their first roll of love making together, there is no doubt regarding the most explosive fireworks bursting above the bed with a blend of eroticism and passion. She is closely associated with sex, and bestows the qualities of passion and mystery in their sexual union while he offers romance and sensuality to their oneness. To him, lovemaking is primarily earthy and physical, but to her it is spiritual and metaphysical. He wants to possess her as his lover, while she wants to possess his soul and get to extreme level of unison. As they both melt away in each others’, they make a very fulfilling love which enhances the passion of their relationship and strengthens their bond. The only problem which comes is that at times she may find him less passionate as she feels love to a greater depth but certainly he is a great provider for her.
The passionate paring of Taurus man and Scorpio woman has to face some unavoidable differences which can create a big problem in a long run. He likes to be the one in power within a relationship, but she is the one who is essentially the cleverer and more capable of getting things to go her way. This urge of being the dominant one in the relationship can lead to arguments and disagreements. If he does not sets off her temper by making her feel as though she is beneath him in any way, then she can simply satisfy his needs by allowing him to believe he is having his way while quietly exerting her influence from behind the scenes. She can also sometimes thrive off of drama, and he absolutely despises it, but if he is able to grow to understand her hidden emotions and have patience with her, she even learns to keep the peace for his sake. If they are able to overcome these obstacles, their committed personalities are likely find a lasting partner in one another.

Sounds good in theory.... but...
Revised 2/11/2012 to include compatibility information with other signs. I'm an equal opportunity star gazer.
From http://www.compatiblesigns.net/scorpio-compatible-signs/
Scorpio-Aries share several qualities, the most critical being a sense of independence and a distaste for being controlled. Needless to say, this will eventually bring about instability and a long-term relationship is highly unlikely.
Stubborness and possessiveness are obstacles for a successful Scorpio-Taurus match. Taurus tries to possess physically, while Scorpio attempts to emotionally control. A match will work only with massive amounts of tolerance, compromise and patience.
Scorpio’s desire for privacy and purpose clashes with Gemini‘s inclination to be social. Scorpio likes to focus on self-improvement, while Gemini tries to live a full, active life. A relationship is possible, but probably too much to deal with.
Quiet-spoken Cancer will no doubt be attracted by Scorpio’s take-charge nature. Scorpio’s compatible signs in the area of being the provider will also mesh nicely with Cancer’s neediness. This may be Scorpio’s best match for a long-term relationship, perhaps even marriage.
Scorpio’s sometimes short fuse is in direct conflict with Leo‘s casual nature, and both possess strong wills, and like to be in control. This may foreshadow difficult times ahead. At best, harmonious odds are 50-50.
Scorpio-Virgo have many similarities, but their differences will probably supercede any long-term success. Virgo’s sometimes argumentative trait will not sit well with the always strongly opinionated Scorpio.
Libra‘s carelessness will not blend well with one of Scorpio’s compatibility signs, difficulty forgiving. However, if Scorpio can dominate and Libra is accepting, harmony is possible.
A Scorpio-Scorpio relationship, at least a romantic one, is not recommended. Possessiveness is a Scorpio quality, and possession of one heart by two people doesn’t work. Avoid this scenario if at all possible.
Always ready to see what’s happening around the next bend, Sagittarius offends Scorpio’s sense of permanence. Sagittarius has many varied interests and their focus on them may offend Scorpio. A one-night affair at best.
Scorpio’s inventiveness will appeal greatly to Capricorn, and the patience of Capricorn will be needed. The combination of Capricorn’s organizational skills and Scorpio’s shrewdness is a match. This might be the best match overall for Scorpio.
Aquarius-Scorpio is a study in contrast, with Aquarius’ love of freedom and Scorpio’s stay-at-home nature possibly creating problems. Not a good combination.
If Capricorn doesn’t work out, perhaps Pisces will for Scorpio. The dependency Pisces seeks is right up Scorpio’s alley, and a relationship in any form will probably work, even marriage.
