Libra and Scorpio pull at each other hard, even though they experience love in very different ways. Libra wants harmony and lightness, Scorpio wants intensity and truth. There's plenty of magnetism, and after that comes learning how to meet.
How you fit together
You sit side by side on the wheel, yet you see the world in very different ways. One of you begins where the other ends, and depending on the day, that either enriches you or throws you off.
Libra and Scorpio in love
At first you're fascinated and can't quite say why. Scorpio is taken with Libra's charm and Libra is drawn to Scorpio's mystery. Libra softens tense moments and shows Scorpio that not everything has to be life or death. In return, Scorpio takes Libra into emotions they'd never felt before.
Over time, the differences come out. Libra is sociable and flirty by nature, and that sets off Scorpio's jealousy. Scorpio wants to talk about what hurts, and Libra would rather sidestep it with a smile. To Scorpio, that conflict-dodging sounds like a lack of honesty, and to Libra, Scorpio's intensity feels smothering. It isn't anyone's fault, but you both have to give some ground. Libra, a little of the social life. Scorpio, a little of that need to know everything.
Physical chemistry is one of the best things you have. Libra brings the romance and Scorpio gives everything. Be careful about using the bedroom to fix what hasn't been talked about.
As friends
You complement each other well. Libra introduces Scorpio to new people, and Scorpio tells Libra truths nobody else dares to say.
At work
Libra knows how to handle people and Scorpio reads what goes unsaid. Together you negotiate very well, as long as you trust each other's way of working.
What brings you together
- An intense, lasting attraction.
- One brings lightness and the other depth.
- You both love beautiful, refined things.
Where you clash
- Scorpio's jealousy about Libra's social life.
- Libra avoids the topics Scorpio needs to discuss.
- You each get angry in your own way.
Your elements
Air reasons and water feels. They fascinate each other, but they don't always understand how the other experiences what's going on inside.
Your modalities
One proposes and the other sustains. It works if the cardinal sign respects the fixed sign's pace and the fixed sign lets itself be moved now and then.
Libra, risk the hard conversation. Scorpio, trust a bit more without asking for proof.
