The dynamic
How Libra and Scorpio get on
Libra and Scorpio are next to each other in the zodiac, 30° apart. Astrologers call this a semi-sextile. Libra is an air sign and Scorpio is a water sign, so your temperaments are different. Each of you is good at something the other finds hard. On some days this feels like help, and on other days it feels like criticism.
Love · Steady
In love
In love, Libra needs fairness, good manners and a partnership of equals. Scorpio needs depth, complete loyalty and no secrets. Libra offers charm, fairness and good taste, and Scorpio offers intensity, devotion and calm in a crisis. Love grows slowly here. It feels familiar and a little awkward at first, and then surprisingly close.
Friendship · Steady
As friends
As friends, Libra is the one who keeps the evening pleasant and knows the right restaurant. Scorpio is the one who you call with a secret you cannot tell anyone else. You see each other’s weak points clearly. That is useful if you speak kindly.
Work · Steady
At work
At work, Libra gets results by finding a solution that everyone can accept. Scorpio gets results by studying problems in depth and not giving up. Libra is a cardinal sign, so it likes to start projects. Scorpio is a fixed sign, so it likes to keep them going. Let each of you do the part you are good at.
Making it work
Three things to try
- Ask before you give advice. Help can feel like criticism to the other person.
- Watch for indecision from Libra and need for control from Scorpio.
- To see the whole relationship, compare your Moon signs (feelings), Venus signs (love) and rising signs (first impressions).
