Taurus - Scorpio intense?

I read somewhere that the attraction between a Taurus and Scorpio is so intense. Is that because they're opposites on the chart?

I also read somewhere that their bond is one of the strongest of the zodiac.

Can you attest to that?

I posted this on the Scorpoi board too, but since most of Taurys don't leave our comfort zones, I bring this to you.

🙂

I think a scorpio would be great for you sagiT. Somebody to really get "intense" with.

Nah. Who would I have to nerd out with on message boards then?

"stop fuckin making these threads. taurus and scorpio suck together" Why do you say that? Couldn't handle the intensity or what? I don't like to assume (unlike you) so tell all.

Okay...I'm ready now

So would like me to "stop being nosy"?

I don't see myself as nosy...I'm a curious woman.

if we all stopped being nosy, this website wouldn't exist!

😄

I dunno SagiT...I don't know your story. My view is simply "fuck it", get on the next train. There will be someone that is willing to try to understand you and you might actually take the time to try to learn to understand her. Don't look back-look ahead, but don't forget lessons learned. I'm on here to try to get insight on the experiences other women have had. Its really interesting to me, I like to try to improve my life and I want the next relationship to work out. I especially love when men post on here, I get more insight from them.
Its easy to be cynical due to life's experiences. But its also a choice. I don't think I'm optimistic nor pessimistic, I'm just a realist. My dad passed away last year, and a couple days ago I found out my mom has cancer. It sucks, but I'm just going to think positive. Why? I don't have any control over the fact that she has cancer, all I can do is be supportive. Fight this thing aggressively. My mom is a scorpio...we have bumped heads since birth. I don't understand why she is the way she is...she holds grudges and never lets go of shit and I let it roll of my back. She's all I have and I'm scared. I want scream to the world sometimes...like greatbull did the other day on here. Just Fuck you all, because somedays are just hard to bare inside. But for me, it helps to let it burn..let it penetrate and then move on. But thats life right? You never know what direction it will take you but you get on and ride it. Yee haw...

Sensual Taurus, you obviously are a taurus! Linda Goodman clearly states that for taurus-scorp (the only opposite signs) it can be either love or hate. You clearly found one scorp you were not in love with, that doesn't disprove the other part of the equation.

I have read every single description coming off of google on scorp -taurus (that's how I got here) and I have the impression that it's a growth thing between these two, but I actually think that is a good thing. I am sick of meeting tens of pisces who are invariably very attracted to me only to have them flake out or not meet my intensity with some force. The strangest thing is I can't stand macho men, but I appeciate being told on the spot directly in my eyes that I turn a person on. It's freaking complicated! But man, the taurus-scorp energy is off the charts! The only thing is, would that intensity scare a more down-to-earth taurus?

"But man, the taurus-scorp energy is off the charts! The only thing is, would that intensity scare a more down-to-earth taurus?"

i'd love to know the answer to that too...any taurus males willing to shed some light on this?

If the taurus wants to be with the scorpio, he would love the intensity. I know I do 🙂

ok, have another question. i have been hanging out with a scorpio guy for a few weeks, kinda casually. but about 2 nights ago, he told me he'd like to see if there is something more of a spark between us and like to take me out and hang out with me more exclusively. i played it cool and told him that we could see where it takes us.

today he emailed me and said he's call me tonight. well it's almost 11:30 pm here and still no call from him. i don't really have a desire to call him but i guess by being a taurus, i expect people to follow through on what they say.

are scorpio men flighty and do they forget things? or do they not see the importance of following through? at this point, it doesn't really bother me, so this post is basically to try to understand what goes through the scorpio man's head.

"the scorp i was with, i felt, played a lot of minor mind games with me that i didn't appreciate. pouting and leaving the room when i wasn't giving her enough attnetion, etc. "
Saggitauries:
As a scorp woman I can relate to that unfortunately, and I admit I unconsciously go for that type of behavior when I really like someone and feel threatened by them having some sort of power over me. The description of scorps that they are all about power is true, and realizing that about someone who's a scorp can be helpful. The taurus in question during the first time we met all of the sudden went off to take care of something in the middle of our conversation. I didn't say anything and didn't show it but I was pretty irritated. That was my knee jerk reaction. Now if I had used my logical side the way I see acquarians do I would have waited until I talked with him to find out what was going on before taking it personally. Because after enough knocks of this sort I have observed the pattern that I take things too personally at times. But I can still go for the pure avoidance behavior when caught off guard. So what I am trying to say is with a scorp you kind of have to read between the lines at times. And the fact you've found a scorp that's open, that's cool but believe me if "he" was interested in you he wouldn't have been so gracious. I am super gracious and controlled 95% of the time, but with the ones I care about - uhm not so easy.

I found your comment about trying really hard to think of interesting things to say very intriguing! Because for a scorp while it is important to have intelligent conversations, that is certainly not the most important thing (the way it seems for sag). Sure I have my interests, would like to share thoughts with a man, but deep down inside it is All about passion for me (one that doesn't run against my ethical beliefs). One can read a book and be inspired, but a book is not going to give love or hugs.

This has gotten long, but can you share some insight into what type of continuous communication would make you feel secure emotionally with the person? Do you trust your sixth sense about people you are attracted to, or do you need proof from them over time about their true intentions?

well, what taurus doesn't understand is that scorpio thinks in the exact opposite manner as taurus does. the truth of being with a scorpio? you'll never get the "real them." never. scorpio is always putting on a mask. that's not to say we aren't honest people - we are very blunt, but we are blunt within the emotional sphere within which we choose to display to everyone else. make sense? if you wanna be with a scorpio, hopefully. this is just scratching the surface in understanding the emotional complexity that is scorpio.

now, a lot of people could mistake this for one big mind game. scorpios, being so sensitive as we are (and yes, even tho we show little emotion, you can bet your butt we're feeling twice as much as you at any moment, unless you're a fellow water sign) understand that people think we're playing mind games, but because we are also fixed water we really could give a #@!. this is why a taurus-scorpio ROMANTIC relationship is very tough - each party thinks so differently and responds to each other so differently that the games get very dirty and communication becomes a very difficult thing. however, when scorp and taurus are on the same wavelength it can be a really beautiful thing.

i had a short affair with a taurus girl, once. she couldn't understand my moodiness and i couldn't understand her complacency, and when we were at eachother's throats it was really intense, but when we were on good terms it was pretty amazing.

i think to be ready for any scorpio relationship, the other person has to be willing to deal with some intense stuff. i'm going to give you all a little secret to us scorpios - the only reason we're so freaking crazy is because we are genuinely afraid of our own intensity, and this fear pretty much controls our actions and conributes to much insecurity as a result. it's like walking around a warzone with a giant nuclear warhead when everybody else has sticks and stones, and not knowing what the hell to do.

I understand where your fury and frustration is coming from. I've never allowed myself to get involved with such individuals because I'm just like you. I wouldn't put up with a "liar" period. I expect people to follow through, aren't we all adults now? And I am also a "hugger", I'm extremely affectionate. It is necessary for me to be physical with people I care about. I will give you shit if you give me a sissy hug too, I gotta feel the squeeze or its not geniune to me.

I am direct because I have a taurus moon. Now talk about a contradiction - scorp with a taurus moon! I still haven't figured out how those two things intertwine. So I actually was very upfront with the taurus, but I sense that he needs time to deal with his stuff because he has another relationship with a woman who's cheating on him. If that weren't the case I wouldn't be here but would be having mad sex with him. But I find interesting that you said that you wouldn't be squeezing a person if you don't want to be with them. He clearly wants to be with me, every part of me is telling me that, but the timing's kinda crappy. I am also extremely touchy feely, yet don't like any flings so therefore I don't get to experience this sensual aspect nearly as much as I want to. That was funny about the squeezing of fruits at the store as I do that constantly 🙂

Scorp wreck, as a scorp can I share a realization about our mutual sign? Yeah, we can be deep, we may never understand ourselves fully let alone someone else doing that. But really, is that all necessary? Why can't we go above that nature and just start facing things and looking for the simpler answers. Yeah, we are afraid of our own power and intensity, but many times we make that choice to be walking in the war zone. Why not face our demons once and for all or at least continuously? Just look at the fear straight up. After much anguish I have had moments when I was forced to see things for what they are. It is such a liberating experience. One thing I read was that scorp can teach others about passion (meaning real intensity within a loving relationship, not some drama bs, sag) but needs to learn surrender. When I have surrendered (which usually comes only after some major event) I have been able to feel at peace. My only gripe is that doesn't happen nearly often enough in my life. Sorry if this sounds like a bunch of new age, but I talk from personal experience.

"well, what taurus doesn't understand is that scorpio thinks in the exact opposite manner as taurus does"

Sorry but I disagree with that. Linda Goodman's love signs book has these 10 or so beginning statements about the signs relationships and the only opposing signs she talked about were scorp and taurus, and she said its either love or hate with those two. She also said that they are the only opposing sings that actually have a lot in common. The only problem is that they also have stubborness in common. That's where the problems come in. I can't say I make concessions with many people but I certainly do with people I care about.

Sag, you sound like you've really been messed up by that woman. But for your sanity you gotta let that go... Liars suck there is no question about it.

Sag I can't figure out whether you are pissed at me or agree with me. Which one is it?

Astrology is a comfort zone if you let your sign define you. If you actually are able to transend your limitations and don't make excuses for your behavior then it can be a useful way to move forward, better than psychology in my opinion.

But I do agree with your taurus bluntness that scorps at one point need to get over themselves and disarm. Not everyone is after them the way they perceive it to be. Easier said than done.

So you are saying scorps make the wheel unbalanced? hahaha. And yeah we think we are special. It's an affliction.

It's good you don't scar. I actually do. Wounds definitely heal. But scars can suck bad. Then you need reconstructive surgery 🙂

And how is an different? What about yin yang - life is made of opposites, of total contradictions.

What's ttfn?

Well, can't you see we are talking about the same thing but with different words?

See, that's your taurus side that's being stubborn. you said you can step back and see through another's eyes. Well, I feel we are talking about the same thing, but the difference is you want me to say aye, and I am saying it in a different way.

This is actually helpful tho 🙂 I gotta say I appreciate it 🙂

I take it I now officially pissed you off sag 🙂 Really not my intention.

i don't like liars either...

i'm a scorp female, and i like hugs, cuddles and all displays of affection - these are the things i most appreciate about my taurus guy....and the "i'm Taurus and you're mine" attitude? i love it; makes me feel protected and cherished, not property.

i am guilty of having a mask sometimes but the mask i use to protect myself; not to lie or manipulate people. i don't like someone to know when they've hurt me, that's all. the mask also comes up when i don't want to share something for fear of rejection.

from reading the posts on here can conclude that Taurus men detest liars and like their mates to make them feel secure. so i guess the mask has to come off for scorp in order for this intense combo to work....?

"if you disagree, you can say so right to my face, you don't have to analyze what i say and try to fix me from the inside out."

I agree with that. Point taken.

"bulls (and leos) have large backs by nature, and i think that carries into the zodiac. that's why bulls are rather naieve. it's hard to look over our own shoulders, that's why we *adore* partners who will look out for us. we're ruled by the neck, and sometimes that means it's our weakness. we don't always look behind our backs (for whatever reason) and it's our vulnerability."

Why naive? You guys are pretty down to earth, no bs, are you saying you can't see when somebody's playing you? And that leads to my main question - what do you think about infidelity? To me it is just unpardonable. Why would a taurus of all people take this? Makes no sense to me.

"so if the wheel has no hub, the tension will be twice as sensitive, i think. maybe the immediate hub,is the freedom to choose who you interact with. fixed signs like to take that freedom away, and i think taurus and scorpio do it the worst"

Intriguing concept, but I don't quite get what you mean by "freedom to choose who you interact with". To me fixity is definitely something to observe at all times. It is where my weak spot is. I used to work a job where getting stubborn with opinion meant making big mistakes and it cost me a lot of nerves. So that's why I really attempt to catch myself when I am being fixed, and do something about it real time. But sometimes at great cost. But as far as taurus, fine be stubborn, but I feel bad for you if you can't say you are sorry.

And also of course I know you are only pissy not pissed, I actually enjoy having more tense conversations.

Now tell me to go and do my paper! lol

i'm sure linda goodman would agree that scorps are the most special sign of the zodiac =).

on the subject of fixity, there's a diff. between fixity and blind fixity. staying ground is an admirable quality in any situation, but when it moves to pure "bull"headedness beyond reason, that's where it's best (and the hardest) to draw the line. i think taurus deals better with this than scorp, tho, only because scorp is much more emotional and more easily prone to bouts of sudden intensity.

scorpoffcharts, i was recently fired from a job because i refused to compromise myself in a certain work-related situation. i would rather look for another job than be on my death bed and regret giving up my ideals for something so impermanent as money. but i guess as "serious scorps" everything *is* life or death for us, yeah?

one of my good buddies is a taurus, and we don't argue very much. but when we do, it usually ends up in somebody getting a black eye. but damned if i say we aren't the best duo at picking up chicks =)

"one of my good buddies is a taurus, and we don't argue very much. but when we do, it usually ends up in somebody getting a black eye. but damned if i say we aren't the best duo at picking up chicks =)"

That's real nice: ) On the first part all I can say is that I love two guys consentually fighting, that's why the only thing I watch on tv is UFC. As far as the second part, you both are really lucky you haven't met me 🙂 Cause I've been scaring guys since I was 12 *sigh* but that's my predicament to deal with.

As far as the fixity, I am not talking about a situation when one needs to defend their beliefs and not sell out. I mean it more as resulting in hubris. That to me is the kiss of death to me. When presented with new evidence that you are wrong, better drop all you are doing and just say it" I am wrong" no bs-ing around. You are right tauruses do it better because they are more real to begin with.

And btw Linda's a taurus, I don't know what her view on scorp being the best is 🙂


"no, but i'll ask you to stop using me for your own libido energizing."

Don't worry about my libido. It's always fine.

That whole thing with the no neck situation makes lots of sense. I will need to be meditating about that tonight.

It was fun chatting 🙂

HELL YES!!!

A week later and I am still searching for him. I shall find him. No attraction or bond is as intense..my god..PHEW!

I'm a Gemini with a lot of Taurus in my chart and I love me some Scorpions 😛
