Never afraid to dive deep with someone, both Pisces and Scorpio share a natural affinity for fostering strong, meaningful connections and sidestepping the superficial. Both Pisces and Scorpio are water signs, which are known to lead with their intuition and instinct, and to also be emotionally reactive from time to time. Scorpio’s relationship with water is similar to the dark depths of the ocean: an unnerving place for many, but the brave who do venture into the unknown are rewarded with otherworldly loyalty. Pisces is more similar to streams and rivers, moving in various directions and taking unpredictable twists and turns along the way. Pisces understands that life is short, so you might as well take a risk rafting down some whitewater rapids!
This zodiac pairing is likely to feel an immediate connection to one another. They may instantly feel like they’re effortlessly on one another’s emotional wavelength. Scorpio isn’t scared off by Pisces’ overly affectionate and cuddly nature, and Pisces’ tender heart isn’t intimidated by Scorpio’s too-cool-for-school act. Both are incredibly psychic and intuitive, and they can sense the unspoken potential of their union, sometimes upon first sight.
Pisces and Scorpio As Friends
Pisces and Scorpio make for a ride-or-die BFF pairing. This zodiac duo has one another’s backs through thick and thin. Both lead with their emotions, so they both tend to take action based on how they are feeling. They’re the type of friends who encourage one another to follow their heart. Even if that means texting or hooking up with an ex, these two water signs get it and don’t care what anyone else thinks. They’re one another’s biggest cheerleaders and support systems.

Trust and loyalty are the cornerstones to working your way into any Scorpio’s life, so in order to maintain this friendship, Pisces will have to be respectful of Scorpio’s privacy and ditch any desire to gossip about them. Pisces is a mutable sign and prefers variety and flexibility, which can also make them a bit flaky. This can get on Scorpio’s nerves if Pisces cancels too many plans last minute. Scorpio also has a tendency to get jealous from time to time and if they don’t feel like they’re the No. 1 friend in Pisces’ life, they may take it out on them in a passive aggressive way. Scorpio will need to understand that at Pisces’ core, they believe we are all connected and united and they simply love variety and engaging with all types of people.
Sex Between Pisces and Scorpio
Sex between a Pisces and Scorpio is explosive and out of this world. These two water signs use their intuition as their guide to their partners’ bodies. They may find that they naturally know how to please one another and what feels good. Scorpio’s sex appeal is legendary and hypnotic, but Pisces’ charm and beauty is a close second. When these two decide to get intimate with one another, they may feel like they’ve left this dimension and everything else ceases to exist! Luckily for both of these emotionally in tune water signs, they both crave intimacy and vulnerability during sex. This is the tell-me-you-love-me-while-staring-deeply-into-my-eyes kind of sex. These two know that sharing their bodies with one another deepens their emotional connection and they both enjoy making love.
Pisces and Scorpio in a Relationship
If a Pisces and Scorpio decide to date, honesty is the key to their successful union. It’s no secret that Scorpio has likely had trust issues in the past, and Pisces’ dual nature can leave Scorpio feeling a little more than unsettled from time to time. Symbolized by two fish swimming in opposite directions, Pisces is no stranger to white lies or exaggerating the truth. This isn’t done maliciously—Pisces is incredibly empathetic and doesn’t wish to cause anyone pain, but they also can be avoidant when it comes to conflict. These two will need to discuss boundaries in their union and air any dirty laundry from their past and present before forming a solid foundation for the relationship to grow and thrive.
In a romantic relationship, these two can serve as one another’s muses. Both zodiac signs are incredibly creative, and as they explore the limitless depths of their bond, they can find new inspiration for their own creative works. Pisces can encourage Scorpio to live a little and take more risks. They know time is a construct and life is meant to be experienced. Scorpio can help Pisces find some more structure to their life and create a sense of stability they haven’t experienced before. Together, they broaden one another’s horizon and complement one another well.
Pisces and Scorpio in Marriage
In a marriage or any other kind of committed long-term relationship, Pisces and Scorpio are profoundly invested in one another. Their union can spark jealousy from afar and also remain incredibly mysterious and private. (For example: Scorpio Ryan Gosling and Pisces Eva Mendes’ decade-plus-long relationship that has heads turning and curious onlookers grasping for any little detail about their personal lives together!) Pisces and Scorpio share a connection that is magnetic and rare. They don’t just know it, but they can feel it. When this is respected on both ends, both zodiac signs will go to the ends of the Earth to defend and protect their love and life together.
If these two can find a balance between respecting Scorpio’s desire for trust and consistency and Pisces’ urge to act on creative whims, they can have a long-lasting, fruitful partnership. Honoring and respecting one another’s boundaries will also be a significant factor in the success of their union. Pisces can waver from time to time and can struggle to assert their needs and boundaries, while Scorpio tends to upholds and maintains their boundaries with a chokehold grip. If these two can establish ground rules to their relationship, their marriage may prove to be a once-in-a-lifetime connection.
