Are Scorpio and Libra Compatible in Astrology

Scorpio and Libra have different emotional needs but can complement each other with understanding. Scorpio offers intensity and depth, while Libra brings balance and social grace. Their success depends on mutual respect and communication. While not the most obvious match, with effort, they can form a harmonious relationship.

In my experience, I have found a certain chemistry with Libras, but they really tend to annoy me after a while, and I find I need space from them. I have a few Libra friends.

This is a great match especially if the girl is libra and the guy is scorpio. Both fantasy each other. Both provide each other that needs in relationship . Any libra scorpio couples here ? Stories please . . . . .

But you cannot guarantee even the pisces cancer or scorpio pisces couple for astrologically being the most successful couple .so certainly there should be some other aspects in the chart and desires for overcoming differences between two

I don't know, I think there's something to the combo. There is an attraction that I've experienced with nearly every Scorp I've ever met, male or female. And by attraction, I don't neccessarily mean physical. It's magnetic...

Libra finds Scorpio's mystery intriguing, and Scorpio is flattered by Libra's interest. When the two work, and they do as friends and sometimes (rarely) as lovers, the Scorp begins to act as a teacher to Libra, Libra learns from Scorpio.

Scorpio is usually very tolerant of Libra's shennigans, Libra's indecisivieness, and flakyiness.

But Scorp is NOT at all tolerant of Libra's detachment. Libra will never understand Scorpio which will frustrate her, and Scorpio is very good at keeping things hidden. Libra will never be controlled or manipulated by Scorpio, and will feel extremely heartbroken WHEN (yes, when, not if) that happens.

It's a tumultous relationship, but maturity and a respectful distance on both sides can make it work

I would say there are misunderstandings every left turn. Scorpio will think they know it all, and they know libra inside out, got them all figured, but they usually miss the point completely.
Libra's giving nature is usually taken in suspicion by Scorpio - that is one cross between them. You don't deride true generosity.
Also, Scorpio presupposes alot about what libra thinks, and don't clarify with them, that's another strike.
Third, scorpio has a constant derision of libra traits, and libra just sees it as negative.

Very little appreciation between them; they can try, but they tire themselves out before 1/6 an understanding is reached. It will take a very long time for scorpio to understand libra, usually, the pairing happens due to an appreciation of beauty of the latter.

Air and water don't do very well as romantic partners unless they decide on a marriage of convenience.

I've dated several libras. I love them. They do get boring, but they like to nest. And that fills that needy part of me. There isn't a lot of fireworks, but you can count on them to want to spend time w/ you.

Even an "opened-up" libra is still limited compared to a scorpio.

That shows how much scorpio understands Libra. They are fooled by the 'superficial' exterior portrayed. It takes eons for them to understand each other, and its best they don't even try...
Alot of scorpios think they're so deep, like the way Aquas think they're so unique, Libra/Taurus think they're so beautiful, Virgo/Gemini think they're so smart, but really, being a water sign and the presumably unfathomable 'Pluto' does not make one deep because alot of them don't understand themselves. It's just like being in the shallow end of the ocean - it really doesn't mean you know what's at the ocean bottom.

libras are not shallow, it takes the right person(s) to understand and get them to open up....they actually have a lot of similarities to scorpios, that is why scorpios find them so intriguing, because they cannot figure them out as easily as other signs

Exactly. I find that the sign of Scorpio is the one with the least understanding of Libra of all signs, really, except those who don't even try.

I think if anything, a Libra CAN have a propensity to figure out scorpio more than scorpio can figure out Libra. All Scorpio sees is a shiny, pretty thing, good for decoration, with nothing underneath - Libra, if she opens her eyes, can see scorpio for who she really is!

I will be the 1st libra to admit libras are nothing compared to scorpios ..

self-pity > optimism
magnetism > free spirit
intensity > (selective) indifference
control obsession > self control

> stands for "more important"

^^

I'd say optimism is more productive
Free spirits are more joyful
self control is WAAY more admirable than controlling others. The enlightened beings control themselves, not seek to control others. If Scorpio can master that, they're the true master!

You kinda contradicted yourself there....just saying,is all πŸ™‚

I take you're a scorpio? See, you missed the point..
It's just a conveniently taken out of context sentence

Libra understands scorpio way more than scorpio understands libra .. that's true ..
but they will never admit it, because as a water sign they are supposed to be the mind readers ..

They can be the mind readers, but they seldom can read the mind of an air sign..
I know because I've tested it, and they miss the point completely

He's a cuspian .. so am I .. but he e-stands for his sun sign ..
or sthg like that ..

I don't believe in cuspians.. it's one or the other.. just that Libra from 19-22 have a bit of scorpio influence is all, they're still Libras

That's good...so then, it is reasonable enough to assume that you're making this up as you go along too,eh β€”

I don't think so (but then again,maybe on some subconscious level there's an effect on thoughts and actions)....Do you ever get bored and see/read stuff and think 'hmmm,that sounds like a bit of alright,I'll have some of thatπŸ™‚πŸ™‚' ...it's pretty much like that,if I'm being honest...flippant and throwaway at the end of the day,but it never hurts to indulge a little,does it ?? πŸ™‚

Well an Oct 23 I could never figure out if you're scorpio or libra, it's really both, but more on the scorpio end then. But a 22 is deff a libra, and a 24 is a true scorp (like queenScorpio).
Oh, and being flippant is the numerological end of your mercury birth date.. no harm. i'd think an oct 23 would be drawn to piloting just because of the freedom and thrill it offers.

2. Pfft, can't tell you.

3. yeah, and fast cars, no? I know some oct 23s who are into thrills. just because they have short attention spans and can't sit still.

"You have very martian undertones, but I'd still call you a Libra..."

oh no, i'm plutonian all the way. my scorpio pluto conjuncts my rising in the 1st.

Hmmmm.. your soul wanted to be socrpio so much, why were you born under the libra end? Even your pluto conjuncts your ASC.. but seriously, the way you talk is still libran, it's not laced with as much emotion as a scorpio..

lol starsapphire I feel Im both too (despite the fact my sun and moon are in libra)..
there's always this fight between emotion and intellect ..

Ok, i'm wrong then. I don't mind being wrong. But ya know my guy is Oct 21 and he's an 8th house stellium, controlling, everything like a scorpio, but he's really a fluffy libra πŸ˜„

"I'm cool with my sun sign, despite the fact some people try to tell me I should feel bad or ashamed about being a libra "

Please don't buy into that crap, they're just out to make you feel bad about yourself.
well, the sun sign is the essence of the person; you can feel like a scorpio no doubt, but you need to acknowledge you;re a libra, because no doubt you are.

i have other influences too, and saturn/ jupiter is very prominent; i'm not your average libra, but still one nonetheless. And am PROUD of it.

Hmm. true true. but the older i get, the more i grow out of my libran qualities. it's weird though, my chart rulers are mars and pluto, because they both rule scorpio, and they are both in scorpio. an astrologer told me that scorpio would rule my "personality" more, not only because of my chart rulers but because my chart rulers conjunct important placements in my chart, (my sun and my rising). also, i don't feel the pull of any scales. it's black or white for me, no in betweeen. i have no balance, nor do i care to accquire any. this is manly why i try not to place too much importance on astrology, too confusing.

If you go by the simplest reasoning - the SUN is your essence, you will know who you are. The ASC is your MASK. So pluto conjuncting it makes you appear like a scorpio, even feel like one. But don't neglect your sun, else you'd be a mess..

By the way, not only the "cuspians" are intuitive, dont be mistaken. Also, some scorpios are very unintuitive - so intuition is not necessarily scorpionic !!

you know whatβ€”

any human that is mature and intelligent of any sign is capable of far more than astrology limits them too.

i have personally experienced the deeper emotions and thoughts of a libra. i am aware that they are capable of it, most just don't live-eat-sleep-breathe that way, so to speak, unlike scorpio's who cannot do otherwise. i don't try to put scorpio on a pedestal, i have often wished i could step outside of this being and perceive things differently. it is often such a burden to be this way, all the time. there is definitely much that can be learned from the libra, i don't mind learning, i welcome it. just as libra can learn things from the scorpio.

i think air and water have many misunderstandings, and this is very sad to me. so many difficulties arise with these pairings because of the two different natures. it's almost as if speaking two different languages. we need to figure out how to translate ourselves to each other better.

because scorpio perceives things so deeply all the time, there is a lot of pain involved in going through life as a scorpio, a lot of ideals that are destroyed, a lot of disappointments.
i'm sure people of all signs experience this. but we do travel far into the emotional caverns whereas, you may say libras travel into the recesses of the mind and in doing so i think we travel farther from each other as we are not able to transform much of what we come back out with into anything that can be easily useable to the other. i think deeply and can understand your rationality, just as you can feel deeply and perceive my emotion but we run on two different modes naturally.

it's pointless to argue this because, just as there are people who are exactly as astrology says they are: libra-shallow, superficial, indecisive, etc... scorpio-jealous, manipulative, controlling, etc... there are exceptions, most assuredly. not all scorps are like that. just as not all of any sign is what is stated. and besides, it's not just about sun sign, there are so many other planets and signs associated with who you are.

Exactly. Thanks IsabelScorpia for clearing that up.
Btw, I have tried very very hard to connect properly with Scorpios I love, but really, its not truly possible. There's offense and hurt at every turn, so if you have a solution, I'd very much like to hear it too. Yes, and you do understand Libras, at least more than the avearge scorpio i come across.
Yeah, air and water have alot of misunderstandings. its a bit too hard to make things work between them, if they face themselves honestly. Usually I see scorpio as denying all their wrongdoings, while scorpio sees me as doing it wrong, or something like that. That is offensive to both, because they have their own reasons..

"but we do travel far into the emotional caverns "

this one is very intriguing.. some of them travel and then pick up snakes and fling out at others. To a libra, it is very hurtful; because we don't purposely set out to hurt others ever; we are always tactful in speech, so we save the other person of their misery of being hurt. scorpio is different. as a libra, I easily pick out instances when Im being manipulated or stung, well I understand that emotions are illogical, and that's passable, but Ive come across scorpios who really dont know where to draw the line - emotional boundaries are important, not try to overtake someone fully.. like its a natural scorpio reaction.

I can actually understand the scorpio suffering, but alot of them dont mind it at all, seems like they want more and more. and then also drag others in it.

yes that's true. we do seem to take some sordid delight in our own suffering.
I think it seems to come from a sort of respect of all forms of emotion. i understand that pain is a part of the emotional spectrum and it too is like anything else, i want to understand it fully so i almost tend to invite even though i despise and want to avoid it in the same instance. sometimes i have this sense as if i am an observer of the human state, and my own human self, and just experience the wide range of emotion and thought that humans are capable of, pain included. also a respect for the processes which humans undergo, that pain must be given it's attention and allowed to get itself out.

"some of them travel and then pick up snakes and fling out at others. To a libra, it is very hurtful; because we don't purposely set out to hurt others ever; we are always tactful in speech, so we save the other person of their misery of being hurt. "

i try not to hurt someone intentionally as well, as i am sensitive and hope people will have the same respect for me, but i will be as honest as i possibly can. i know my libra would always form his statements in order to exact the best outcome possible, while i can respect this, i also don't appreciate this because, sometimes the truth is just necessary. there are tactful ways to say certain things, but it can often cross into deception. i don't want to know the reasons as you see me fit to handle them, i want to know the truth. it is my responsibility to handle myself, i want the truth so i know what the reality of the situation is, not the reality you think it best for me to see it as. i don't like the idea of the truth going on without me. i would feel like a fool if i found out later what was really going on.

"scorpio is different. as a libra, I easily pick out instances when Im being manipulated or stung, well I understand that emotions are illogical, and that's passable,"
yes you guys are good at discerning this. scorps take most things very personally and i usually hold people to what they say, even if they are just saying it out of emotion, it is still something they felt and thought, and i want to know why that emerged. there must be something to it. as if i can't just leave it as a momentary, emotion-spurred and isolated thing, it must have its origins somewhere.

i think it is an instinctual, immature scorp emotion to want to sting someone after they've been stung (fling snakes as you put it πŸ™‚ as we mature, i like to think most of us come to repress this response, i think i have done so very well. it is self-protection, as we trusted you and now suddenly find that our whole understanding of you has been rendered doubtful, and even dangerously doubtful. we realize however, that after we have hurt you in order to protect ourselves, we have only truly hurt ourselves, because we care so much for you that your pain is ours. and all we really aimed for was for you to understand what you are doing to us, not that we want you to truly suffer.
