Scorpio Sun Sign Compatibility Matches
Matches With Scorpio
The following are sun sign comparisons for Scorpio the Scorpion–how people born with a Scorpio Sun get along with other signs of the zodiac. These interpretations are written with romantic relationships in mind and are from the Romantic Compatibility Report.
SUN SCORPIO-ARIES
You are both willful and passionate people, with a strong desire to live intensely and directly, and you love this about each other. There is a lot of fire in your relationship and you are likely to fight ferociously sometimes. ARIES, however, can release anger and emotions and then forget about it, while SCORPIO nurses grudges and resentments, and may hold on to the wounds that ARIES unthinkingly inflicts.
Also, SCORPIO needs to feel intensely bonded emotionally, and ARIES may not have the same overwhelming need for closeness.

SUN SCORPIO-TAURUS
There is a strong magnetic attraction between the two of you and even if you have little in common intellectually or spiritually, your physical relationship is likely to be very intense, binding you together. If you do have common interests and resonate on an intellectual level as well, you will be unable to stay away from each other! You are both very possessive, and SCORPIO especially is prone to jealousy.
There are significant differences in your emotional makeup, however: TAURUS is steadier, simpler, less complex, and less needy than SCORPIO is. SCORPIO demands more in terms of emotional involvement and depth of intimacy than TAURUS.
You are both extremely stubborn, strong-willed people and you both need to learn to bend and compromise more graciously in order to harmonize with one another. Neither of you is especially articulate or communicative about the things that matter most to you, and much misunderstanding can result.

SUN SCORPIO-GEMINI
You two are very different! SCORPIO becomes intensely involved emotionally to particular people and places. SCORPIO bonds deeply and becomes very attached to close people and especially to a lover. GEMINI, by contrast, takes life in a lighter vein and usually does not become as emotionally involved and attached to things as SCORPIO. SCORPIO may feel that GEMINI is superficial, evasive, childish, and not serious enough, while GEMINI may feel that SCORPIO is too heavy, intense, demanding, and insatiable. SCORPIO thrives on intensive, direct experiences and is best suited to a life style that involves direct, non-vicarious, non-intellectual activities of forceful, instinctive, or natural kind, preferably using one’s hands (examples: surgery, deep sea diving, most competitive athletic sports, sex, pottery, etc.) while GEMINI’s approach is more cerebral, less focused and intensive, and more varied.
The disparity between your two approaches to life is great and you need to strive to make your differences complement each other rather than interfere with each other. The truth is you are probably attracted to the very same qualities that make you so different.

SUN SCORPIO-CANCER
It is so very easy to attach yourselves to each other! Because each of you possesses a powerful feeling nature and a tendency to bond intensely with important people in your lives, you sense in each other a basic similarity in temperaments and goals. There are differences, of course, in your natures, but this overall similarity can strengthen the bond between you. CANCER often feels more compassion and sympathy for others, while SCORPIO may view CANCER’s feelings as sentimentality. When wounded, SCORPIO sometimes tends towards being resentful. CANCER, on the other hand, is more apt to sulk or withdraw when hurt, and usually lets the other person know (generally in a nonverbal manner!) about it. SCORPIO, by contrast, hides hurt more readily.
You may also have different attitudes towards sexuality versus love. For example, CANCER may feel that SCORPIO is sometimes more driven by instinct and lust than by love, and this may become an issue in your relationship. Overall, though, the intense bonding and emotionality of your relationship fosters a deep, lasting attachment between you. Intimacy is likely to come more easily to you as a couple than it does for others, and loyalty is important to you both.
Compatibility Rating: (See color codes below)
SUN SCORPIO-LEO
Both of you are very proud, stubborn, strong-willed individuals and you are attracted to the strength of character that you sense in each other. There is a feeling of conquest between you that may serve to intensify the excitement of your attraction to each other. However, your strong wills may also prove to be a problem in a long-term relationship. You face the possibility that your combined inflexibility will make it difficult for the two of you to reach mutually satisfying decisions and both of you tend to stubbornly resist compromising when your preferences are different. A battle of wills is likely to ensue!
Another potential problem is jealousy or lop-sided bonding. SCORPIO bonds very intensely in romantic relationships and is inclined towards monogamy. LEO is also very loyal, but not nearly as intense, emotional, or obsessive as SCORPIO is.
Compatibility Rating: (See color codes below)
SUN SCORPIO-VIRGO
Your essential natures are compatible, as both of you share a certain level of practicality, the need to analyze and dissect people and life, and a rather introspective approach to life’s challenges. There are times, however, when SCORPIO strides fearlessly into a challenging situation, and VIRGO feels much more cautious and careful. SCORPIO may consider VIRGO to be too timid, and VIRGO may feel that SCORPIO lacks prudence.
There are also many situations where SCORPIO is more stubborn and persevering than VIRGO. SCORPIO may view VIRGO’s lack of commitment and dedication to a single purpose to be a sign of weakness. There is also the possibility that VIRGO will view SCORPIO as being a bit crude, too passionate or emotionally attached to certain situations or ideas. VIRGO has refined sensitivities and sometimes literally doesn’t like to get “dirty hands”, while SCORPIO is more primitive, raw, and unsqueamish.
You both need to strive to harmonize your different natures and not antagonize each other, but the chances of doing so are very high, as you both sense in one another a generally compatible attitude towards life.

SUN SCORPIO-LIBRA
In many situations, SCORPIO will respond with greater emotional intensity than LIBRA. While LIBRA is not a cool and aloof individual, SCORPIO’s feelings can run deeper. For example, both of you want a close relationship, but SCORPIO can become intensely fixated on a person and possessive, whereas LIBRA maintains a sense of proportion and some reasonable degree of objectivity and emotional distance from others, even in marriage. SCORPIO’s “urge to merge” can be very powerful.
LIBRA’s approach to life, in general, tends to be more moderate and well-balanced, while SCORPIO tends to periodically become intensely focused on some area of concern and become even fanatical in pursuit of some interest. LIBRA’s detached fairness can infuriate SCORPIO at times, and SCORPIO’s inexplicable dark moods or fervent responses bewilder LIBRA. These differences need not create serious problems in your relationship. Emotional bonds between you can be very strong, especially if other astrological indications indicate strong romantic or sexual ties.

SUN SCORPIO-SCORPIO
Your partnership is an intense one, and you are likely to become very attached to, or obsessed with each other. If romantic attraction is even reasonably strong, this relationship could easily lead to marriage. First of all, both of you are very oriented towards marriage. Neither of you feels comfortable in light relationships and it is difficult for you to be “just dating” someone. You prefer to be wholeheartedly involved in a deep relationship or not at all.
Both of you are also prone to be possessive and very emotionally attached to anyone that you give your love to. Like most lasting, important relationships, yours will have its share of difficult times, and you both seem to thrive on passionate, tempestuous interactions. Stormy fights and sizzling reunions may typify your relationship. You both love intensely and you hate with equal ferocity, so your relationship is likely to be either deeply satisfying or very destructive to you both; there is no middle ground for the two of you!

SUN SCORPIO-SAGITTARIUS
You are different in many ways: very often, SAGITTARIUS feels lighthearted and enthusiastic about some idea, project, plan or dream, and feels that SCORPIO is too myopic and stubborn to appreciate optimistic plans. Also, SAGITTARIUS loves festivities and socializing while SCORPIO often feels uncomfortable with large groups of people, and prefers a deeper, more intimate involvement with just a few people rather than carousing with a large group. SCORPIO is capable of tremendous concentrated and persistent effort whereas SAGITTARIUS prefers to do a little bit of everything: traveling and developing a wide sphere of interests and activities, rather than being limited to a few activities.
Also, SCORPIO’s feelings usually run much deeper than SAGITTARIUS’s feelings, so SAGITTARIUS frequently fails to appreciate the depth of feeling that SCORPIO experiences. SCORPIO becomes very attached, emotionally, to a love partner and doesn’t easily share SAGITTARIUS’s attention and affection with anyone else. SAGITTARIUS, on the other hand, is something of a flirt and may innocently arouse intense jealousy in SCORPIO. SAGITTARIUS can be weighted down by SCORPIO’s suspiciousness, demands for loyalty and wholehearted involvement. Worse, SAGITTARIUS may simply ignore SCORPIO’s needs and not realize how strongly SCORPIO feels.
SAGITTARIUS has a much greater need for freedom. The two of you are so different that it will take a lot of compassion and understanding for you to be together for any length of time.

SUN SCORPIO-CAPRICORN
Both of you are initially very careful about revealing feelings, motives and vulnerabilities; you are unwilling to reveal your depths to others initially. It takes time for both of you to trust and become open emotionally. Both of you have a natural suspiciousness and reserve, and both are disinclined to have casual relationships.
The difference between you is this: CAPRICORN has a much greater capacity for objectivity, emotional distance, and detachment than SCORPIO. CAPRICORN can be strangely aloof at times, especially when feeling threatened, while SCORPIO will seethe with emotion. SCORPIO is instinctive and passionate, and gets totally immersed in, and attached to, a lover. CAPRICORN may or may not feel as bonded, and even if CAPRICORN feels as strongly as SCORPIO, CAPRICORN may not be able to show the depth of feelings and emotional responsiveness that SCORPIO desires.
This is unlikely to be a light, frothy, “fun” relationship -but then neither of you really wants that anyway.

SUN SCORPIO-AQUARIUS
AQUARIUS is idealistic and can be very abstract and heady, while SCORPIO relies more on instinct, intuitive sensitivity, and “gut feelings”. SCORPIO’s passions, irrational loves and hates, and intense emotional responses baffle AQUARIUS, who is far more rational and cerebral. More importantly, SCORPIO is very emotionally attached to a lover and can be become intensely fixated on a person. AQUARIUS is cool, unemotional, and rather aloof by comparison. AQUARIUS needs lots of friends and acquaintances but is not as involved in personal relationships as most people. This may create an emotional gap between you that may well be hard to reconcile.
You are also both stubborn, rather opinionated, and inflexible. You’ll need to appreciate and really understand the differences in your temperaments to harmonize in a long-term relationship.

SUN SCORPIO-PISCES
Both of you are very sensitive, feeling, compassionate people, and with one another you are able to have a depth of sharing and intimacy and emotional union that you will find with few others.
PISCES’s sympathetic, non-judgmental, understanding attitude can be a healing balm to SCORPIO, who is more emotional and who often carries secret guilts, inner conflicts, and pain.
SCORPIO is more forceful than PISCES, and will sometimes lash out with sarcasm or vindictiveness when hurt, which deeply wounds PISCES. PISCES is gentler, has less protective armor, and is generally more forgiving than SCORPIO is. Another difference in your natures is this: SCORPIO is highly sexual and physical, while PISCES prefers more softness, subtlety, and romance. Basically however, you are quite compatible and can have a very fulfilling union.
