When a Taurus and a Scorpio love each other very much...
![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png){kind=small}
sheron and I were pondering horoscope signs for the Biggles characters, which is a perfectly normal leisure-time activity for a pair of mature adults with jobs.Biggles apparently might have been canonically born in May, which would make him potentially a Taurus - already one of my sign picks for him, as it fits him well: stable, loyal, down to earth.
Sheron picked Scorpio for EvS and I cannot disagree.
The Sun in Scorpio gives you amazing powers of tenacity and resistance. The keynote of your personality is willpower. You are courageous, too, but your courage is tempered by a healthy measure of caution.
[...]You can be possessive as well as demanding and subject to fits of jealousy over those you love. You are very intense.
Your very strength of character can lead to a certain degree of callousness towards the feelings of others. Your strong willpower comes at a price. You do not disguise your opinions, and those with whom you come into contact soon know whether you find them congenial or not! Those you like can count on your steadfast faithfulness; those you don't will often suffer from your occasional caustic remarks and sarcasm.
So there's that, but then we got to the Taurus and Scorpio compatibility charts, which are basically Biggles/EvS fanfic.
There is a strong magnetic attraction between the two of you and even if you have little in common intellectually or spiritually, your physical relationship is likely to be very intense, binding you together. If you do have common interests and resonate on an intellectual level as well, you will be unable to stay away from each other! You are both very possessive, and Scorpio especially is prone to jealousy.
There are significant differences in your emotional makeup, however: Taurus is steadier, simpler, less complex, and less needy than Scorpio is. Scorpio demands more in terms of emotional involvement and depth of intimacy than Taurus. You are both extremely stubborn, strong-willed people and you both need to learn to bend and compromise more graciously in order to harmonise with one another. Neither of you is especially articulate or communicative about the things that matter most to you, and much misunderstanding can result.
Both of you are rather obstinate and inflexible, and cannot be easily moved once you've made up your mind. Nor does logic or reason work wonders with either of you, when you decide you want something. When the two of you lock horns, it's a matter of which of you wears down first!
Of the two of you, Taurus is the more practical and down to earth. A loving, stable home, creature comforts, and peaceful relationships are Taurus' ideal. Taurus has a much simpler emotional nature than Scorpio and is must more easily contented.
Scorpio's feelings run very deep. Scorpio loves intensely, but is also capable of tremendous animosity and hostility if hurt or betrayed. Scorpio has a very private, secretive side and often hides feelings or withdraws from people as a means of self-protection. Anger, guilt and jealousy are emotions Scorpio frequently keeps hidden inside.
I WASN'T GOING TO QUOTE THE WHOLE THING, BUT I MEAN ... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Then Sheron found THIS amazing compatibility chart, which includes the memorable detail:
Scorpio has this depressive need to die naked and sweaty in the arms of a loved one, while Taurus has the need to be loved this much. It may even sound romantic, but carries with it all unsolved emotional issues as baggage into their sexual encounters.
I cannot even.
This was followed by:
sholio: I am now picturing Biggles's friends getting hold of a horoscope compatibility chart and reading it to him, out loud, while he's trying to ignore themsheron: Biggles sneakily reading it, trying to ignore itsheron: Biggles: huh....Algy: what are you looking at?

sholio: Biggles trying to pick up tips on EvS-wrangling, because nothing else seems to work

You may feel both deeply attracted and repelled by one another, and somehow unable to avoid one another.
Yeah okay this horoscope has read the series!
Taurus may help Scorpio heal some fears of love and intimacy, by being a constant, loyal, and true friend.
Awww! Good work Biggles <3

You're highly compatible with Biggles then! XD

There is MUCH debate over whether Biggles's birthday is May or August, which all turns on how you interpret a single line in Learns to Fly:
This is in September 1916, so it all depends whether you read it as meaning that he still has eleven months to go now, putting his birthday in August, or he had eleven months to go when he joined up three months earlier, which would put his birthday in May.
August might make him a Leo, and the compatibility chart Sheron found still works, I think.

`According to stories in The Boy Biggles and Biggles Goes to School, James Bigglesworth was born in India in May`
And he really does read like a Taurus more than a Leo to me XD

Biggles remains a man of mystery... (but I agree that personality-wise he's a better fit for Taurus than Leo!)
no subject
September would actually make him a Virgo, at least as per the old 12-sign horoscope calendar, or a Libra for late September. Libra is an air sign, which he would probably appreciate! xD
no subject
Biggles is either May or August (Learns to Fly starts in September and refers to it being 11 months until his birthday - the question mark is over whether it's 11 months from September when the book starts, or 11 months from June when he joined up), so potentially a Virgo if it's late August, or a Gemini if it's late May! I do agree a lot of the Taurus traits fit, though...

I'm a Leo myself, so I don't mind Biggles joining me. :D

As am I! :D
