Expert Interview. 12 November 2019.} 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

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]

Libra and Scorpio Compatibility: The Bottom Line

It’s not a perfect match, but this relationship can be fun and exciting. 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.

Expert Answer

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.
