What are the best and worst matches for a Scorpio?

Best romantic matches:

  • Aries – both are fun-loving signs who love socialising, adventures, and new challenges. They are also both naturally optimistic, making a harmonious, positive relationship.
  • Aquarius – Aquariuns are inventive, and they both thrive on change and variety. They're also both interesting people, who love in-depth discussions.
  • Leo – both are free-spirited and love adventure, and they’re compatible in the bedroom too as they have similar sex drives, making for a pleasurable relationship.

And the worst?

  • Taurus – those with a Taurus star sign tend to stick close to home, which will clash with an adventure-loving Sagittarius.
  • Capricorn – Capricorns are practical, and may feel like they have to take responsibility for a Sagittarius partner.
  • Virgo – Virgos need security and commitment, and can be to perfectionist for a flighty Sagittarius.

Sagittarius turn ons

Freedom is a must for Sagittarius as they have to live wild and free and their companions need to understand that.

No plans, pressure or schedule is what they crave and they love being at one with nature. You're a free spirit who wants crazy adventures with friends.

Love is a bit of a game to you and you enjoy the journey more than the destination sometimes.

You like the initial stages of flirting and the achievement of feeling a flame between you ignite.

You absolutely love animals and you expect your friends to feel the same. It is black and white to a Sagittarius on this and their opinion won't change.

Sagittarius turn offs

Being too serious - You are a clown, there is no other way to put it.

You love to make people laugh, be the centre of attention and entertain everyone who comes into contact with you.

Laughter bonds you with others, it is a healer and it destresses you and those in your vicinity.

Clinginess - This is your number one pet peeve and you won't have friends who are clingy.

Once people want to know where you are or wish to be with you at all times it is never going to work as a friend or something more serious.
