A magnetic tranquility: sensuality, constancy, and deep passion, with a sharp sense of possession.
The garden and the underground spring: Taurus offers a peaceful surface, Scorpio sends a passion through it that never runs dry.
Keeping a commitment for years, in storm and in calm, without ever betraying themselves.
Confusing love with possession and clinging to what ought to be let go.

May looks at November across the circle: two fixed signs in opposition, the clod facing the deep water.
Venus presides over the horizon, Mars over the Sun, with Pluto in support for the moderns: desire and will, pleasure and depth. The first impression is reassuring; the person settles in comfortably, orders a good wine, listens without haste, and one feels safe at their side.
The luminary stands in the west, in the 7th house: relationship becomes the place where the depths are revealed. Couple, partnership, twenty-year friendship: each bond is lived with unusual intensity. They commit seldom, but for a long time, and expect the same loyalty in return. Managing an inheritance, a family home, or a portfolio suits them, so keen is their sense of value and duration.
The axis of the two fixed signs has its downside: doubled stubbornness. Taurus refuses change, Scorpio refuses to lose; a disagreement over money or fidelity can fester for years. The person may also be possessive, toward people as toward things. Learning to let go, to leave the other free, would be their great lesson.
Scorpio with Taurus rising dreams of a lasting fusion: a single love, a home, sensual rituals, confidences that no one else knows.
With Scorpio itself in the west, the relationship becomes central and intense, sometimes stormy. Jealousy smolders beneath an apparent calm that those around them think unshakable. Keeping a space of freedom for each, a hobby, friends of their own, would keep passion from turning into discreet surveillance.
Private banking, wealth management, notary work, real estate, gastronomy, perfumery, antique furniture restoration: trades that call for constancy and a sense of value suit them.
They slowly build a solid position, without fanfare. Professional partnerships would count enormously in their path. Their limit would be clinging to a partner or a post out of loyalty, long after the collaboration has stopped bearing fruit.
The home is something of a sensual sanctuary: heavy bedding, dim lighting, a generous kitchen, a well-stocked cellar, a deep armchair by the fireplace.
The person likes slow pleasures, the evening bath, low music, dinners for two that stretch on. They keep everything, letters included, in neatly arranged boxes. Sorting things out regularly, in closets as in grudges, would lighten a daily life sometimes cluttered with memories.
A crossover of rulers: Venus, who commands the Taurus horizon, would be in detriment under Scorpio, and Mars, ancient lord of the birth sign, would meet the same fate in Taurus.
Each would thus dwell in the house of their adversary, an image the ancients linked to thwarted desire. The Tetrabiblos also places the fall of the Moon in Scorpio.
As the November disc touches the western horizon, Taurus emerges in the east. The Sun thus lands in the 7th house, that setting place where the Greeks read marriages, alliances, contracts, and lawsuits. The birth sign therefore faces the horizon, a configuration that would place the partner at the center of the life path.
The Sun sign depends on the day of birth; the rising sign, on the time and place.
Taurus takes about 1 hr 14 min to rise in Paris: with the Sun in Scorpio, the rising sign is Taurus for a birth during that rise.

Very. Two fixed signs, one turned toward security, the other toward fusion, give a deep, sometimes absolute loyalty. The person rarely commits, but lastingly. The downside would be a tendency toward possessiveness and jealousy, which Taurean calm sometimes hides for a long time. Time strengthens this bond further.
The Sun is in the 7th sector, in whole signs, that of unions and partnerships, and the birth sign faces the rising sign. The manuals would see an identity that is revealed and transformed through contact with a partner. An intense, lasting bond would structure the whole life.
A Taurus Sun with Scorpio rising has a peaceful, sensual core under an intense, magnetic front. With a Scorpio Sun and Taurus rising, the order reverses: peaceful surface, underground passions. The first impresses and then reassures; the second reassures and then reveals an unexpected intensity. Both remain faithful to what they love.
