Wondering what sign is a good match for a Scorpio? The best matches are the signs that show an innate sensitivity and authentic character.

Are you a good match?

The Best Personality Traits for Scorpio

Before delving into what sign is a good match for a Scorpio, it’s helpful to know some of the characteristics to which this water sign responds best. The reason for this is that even if one isn’t a traditional match for Scorpio (for example Cancer), a person could still have a terrific relationship with this sign due to compatible moon signs or aspects. With this in mind, here are some characteristics for which most Scorpios look.

Sincerity

Sincerity and honesty go hand in hand for Scorpios; they will literally detest you if they find even a whiff of dishonesty about you. Try not to lie about anything and always give the most accurate opinion on subject matters when asked. Failing to do so will inevitably bring out the worst in Scorpio.

Emotional Depth

Regardless of your zodiac sign, do not be a light weight when it comes to processing emotions. Show genuine compassion for others, particularly when they are in need or distress, and try not to laugh at their misfortunes because this will only provoke a strong rebuke from Scorpio. This may sound intimidating and it is, but that’s the Scorpio way.

Strong Spirit

This doesn’t really refer to spirituality (although that’s helpful as well), but it’s more about having a strong constitution and a high level of endurance towards life’s problems. Even in the face of monumental problems, Scorpios never say die, and they loathe those that do. Instead, adopt a "can-do" attitude, roll up your sleeves and be willing to tackle any and all problems. It’s this type of spirit that Scorpio respects.

No Weakness

Speaking of strength, try not to show too many signs of weakness either. Of course, this doesn’t mean that you can’t break down and cry when things become overwhelming, but try not to become hysterical in high pressured situations. Scorpios never blink, and if they see that you do, they’ll consider that a weakness and they will use it against you.

So, What Sign is a Good Match for a Scorpio?

In light of all those formidable characteristics, you might wonder what sign is a good match for a Scorpio? Traditionally speaking, the best astrological matches for this water sign are the other water signs of Cancer and Pisces.

• A Cancer/Scorpio Match: Cancer is a great match for Scorpio because crabs tend to swim in fairly deep emotional waters themselves, and they also have a lot of compassion for those in need. As you probably already know, Scorpio is an intense sign, but Cancer can also be fairly intense.

• A Pisces/Scorpio Match: Artistic Pisceans often bring out the lighter side of Scorpio, and their fairly easy-going nature works as a kind of file on Scorpio’s sharp incisors. Not only are Scorpios very accommodating to the Piscean tendency to flit through life, but they are also fairly indulgent of their whims.

The earth signs of Virgo, Capricorn and Taurus all get along fairly well with Scorpio. Each of these signs has a pragmatism and healthy dose of common sense that Scorpio finds attractive and reassuring. Scorpio likes people to be stable, and few signs are more stable than that of the earth signs. Additionally, Scorpio tends to be very good with money, and for the most part, so are Virgo, Capricorn and Taurus.

Other Matches

This of course leaves us with the Air and Fire signs to contend with. Usually, these signs prove to be too different for Scorpio to deal with, although it’s not an impossible match, particularly if there are compatible aspects in the synastry chart.

For example, at first blush it may seem as if Aries is the total polar opposite of Scorpio since Aries tends to be explosive and brash; a combination that can be downright combustible when paired with the control and cool personality of Scorpio. However, keep in mind that Mars was the ancient ruler of Scorpio (before Pluto) and as such, both signs are incredibly hearty and determined.

On the other hand, the Air signs may prove to be a bit too whimsical, if not downright baffling, for Scorpio. An Air sign (Libra, Gemini and Aquarius) can rationalize just about anything. This is a quality that Scorpio may find annoying.

Putting It All Together

So, what should a person do if he/she is in love with a Scorpio, but is not one of the traditional matches? First, have a composite chart done. It’s extremely rare for two signs not to have a least a few elements they can work with. Additionally, if the attraction is already there, it’s a pretty safe bet that the chart will bear that out. Further, if you and your Scorpio mate love one another, there is most certainly a way to build a successful relationship.
