  1. Scorpio, the most sexual of all the signs, needs a good fit for their fiery, sensual desires. [2] Libra doesn’t disappoint, either—they're a romantic who loves to have fun and please their partner, so these two signs have great sexual chemistry. Scorpio gives Libra the appreciation and adoration they crave in the bedroom, and Libra gives Scorpio the space and acceptance they need to explore their fantasies. [3]
    • Scorpio and Libra are often adventurous sexually. Libra won’t judge Scorpio for wanting to try something new, and these two signs may find themselves taking their sexual experiences to new heights.

Libra and Scorpio Emotional Compatibility

PDF download Download Article
  1. Libra tends to intellectualize how they’re feeling. It’s how they understand their emotions. Then there’s moody, brooding Scorpio, who feels their emotions deep within their body. [4] Because these two signs experience emotions so differently, they may struggle to understand each other on an emotional level , which can lead to conflict.
    • Scorpio’s dark moods and deep, emotional well may confuse Libra, who prioritizes balance and peace above all else.
    • On the other hand, Scorpio may feel that Libra doesn’t care as deeply about the relationship as they do, even if that’s not true.
    • To make the relationship work , Libra should try to be understanding when Scorpio is moody and deep in their feelings. Scorpio, on the other hand, should be patient and give Libra time to open up emotionally on their own.

Libra and Scorpio Trust Compatibility

  1. Building trust won’t be easy for these two signs, but it’s not impossible. It might feel like love at first sight when Libra and Scorpio meet, but the road to a healthy relationship founded on trust can be a rocky one for these two signs. Libra’s love of attention and validation from others can trigger Scorpio’s possessive, jealous side, while Scorpio may have a hard time trusting Libra with others. [5]
    • In Scorpio’s perfect world, they would have Libra all to themselves. That’s going to be a hard pill for Libra to swallow since they’re extroverted and love to put themselves out there.
    • For the relationship to work, Scorpio and Libra need to meet somewhere in the middle. If Scorpio can control their jealous tendencies (at least as much as possible for this sign) and Libra can rein in their flirting, trust may start to develop.

  1. Both of these signs are highly intelligent. There’s nothing Libra finds more stimulating than a good intellectual debate or discussion, and Scorpio is up for the challenge.

  1. Libra and Scorpio may struggle to develop trust and connect on an emotional level, but that doesn’t mean they won’t have fun trying. Scorpio’s passion and intensity can provide Libra with the love and validation they need, while Libra’s optimism can balance out Scorpio’s moodier disposition. If these two signs aren’t careful though, their relationship can veer off course. With that said, if the stars are aligned, Libra and Scorpio might find that they’re a great match.

I’m a Scorpio (F) and I’m super into this guy who was originally just a friend. The thing is, he’s a Libra and I’ve never really dated a Libra before. I’m normally not attracted to Libras and I never really planned on exploring this in the first place, so I’m kind of trying to navigate my feelings in a healthy way. I’d like to learn more about the nature of the Scorpio-Libra relationship so that I can start to get my head around whether this is a good idea or not.

Libra and Scorpio can have a fiery connection full of attraction. The two of you are well-matched on an intellectual level and won't run out of things to talk about. Scorpio and Libra are also a great match in the bedroom.

These signs handle emotional matters pretty differently, though. As a Scorpio, you might have a tendency to feel emotions deeply and be a bit moody. Libra takes a more intellectual approach to emotional matters, so the two of you could struggle to understand how the other is feeling and handle conflicts in your relationship.

This can be a very rewarding relationship, but it will have its challenges; the good news is that as the Scorpio, you’re more likely to cause the hiccups than he is, which means a lot of the headwinds are in your control.

Libra is a very peace-loving sign; they care about keeping things even-keeled and respectful. Scorpio, on the other hand, is a fixed sign that doesn’t tend to be very open to change. This presents a bit of a challenge for the judicious Libra, but it’s nothing that the two of you can’t work out if you can avoid feeling jealous or threatened by your partner.

    Libras love flattery! Tell them that they're pretty or that no one has cuter clothes than them, and you'll have a Libra flirting and blushing in your face.

    Scorpios are often misunderstood because they're very emotional and they can get attached quite easily. Scorpio is a water sign that's also fixed; so, when their emotions are strong, they can get quite attached to those emotions as a fixed sign might.
