The 5 Love Languages is a framework by Dr. Gary Chapman that describes the 5 different ways a person prefers to show and receive love. [1] Although love languages aren’t strictly astrological, it’s still totally valid to wonder which ones appeal most to your Scorpio beau. We’ve interviewed pro astrologer Angel Eyedealism to get the lowdown on everything Scorpio, so that you can be in the know.

Things You Should Know

  • Physical touch and quality time are Scorpio’s two main love languages.
  • Show love to a Scorpio through physical touch with simple acts like hugging, kissing, and/or holding hands.
  • Demonstrate love through quality time by respecting your partner’s desires for both intimacy and privacy.

    Expert astrologer Angel Eyedealism explains how “vulnerability is a cherished prize for a Scorpio. Without vulnerability, there is no intimacy—and that’s why Scorpio is the sign of intimacy, because they like to lay everything bare.” With this in mind, any sort of physical touch can be a great way to show the Scorpio in your life how loved and appreciated they are.
    • This love language spans all types of physical affection, like cuddling, kissing, hugging, and even holding hands. [2]
    • Eyedealism also notes how Scorpios have “an obsessive need for privacy.” The “quality time” love language could be a way to respect this as you strike a balance between spending quality time with your partner and giving them quality time by themselves.

    Set aside some time during the week for just you and the Scorpio in your life. Shower them with plenty of physical affection while you’re together, like cuddles, hugs, and kisses. If the mood is right, feel free to suggest something a little more intimate.
    • Quality time can be just about any activity that gives you personal, meaningful time with your Scorpio. Cooking a delicious meal together, playing board games, or enjoying a home movie night together are all great ways to enjoy each other’s company.

    Physical and sensual, Taurus loves to immerse themselves in activities related to the five senses—so, it’s a given that they love and appreciate all types of physical touch and affection within a relationship (e.g., hand-holding, hugging, cuddling, etc.).
