Taurus and Scorpio — the verdict
Two fixed signs directly across the wheel, and the magnetism is legendary. Taurus is the body, Scorpio is the psyche; both want total commitment and neither shares well. This pair either becomes unbreakable or becomes a siege, and the deciding factor is whether Scorpio can stop probing long enough for Taurus to stop bracing.
