Depends on the people, not on what shape the stars make in the certain part of the sky at a certain time of the year. Here, read about what is completely wrong with astrology and maybe you'll have a better chance at a relationship working.
Astrology is the belief that the positions of the stars and planets will predict and control our personalities and actions. Unfortunately, a distressing number of people believe this and the daily horoscope can be found in nearly every major newspaper in the country. However, astrology fails even the most simple of test.
This is possibly the worst offender of all the pseudosciences because it does more damage in encouraging people to believe there is an easy solution to life’s problems than any other pseudoscience. More people believe in astrology than any other myth. Yes, myth. It is very easy to prove there is nothing to astrology, and is frequently done so in grade school science fairs. Simply get a group of people to compare their day to day lives to their horoscope and keep a track of how valid the predictions are. Make an estimate ahead of time of what you expect to see for an accuracy rate. Do this for a few weeks. When you collect all of the records and compile the data, compare the actual accuracy rate to your predicted one.
If that’s not enough, simply do the math. According to astrology, my horoscope should predict many things about me and my life. But approximately 1/12th of the population has the same sign, and therefore the same horoscope, as I. So, if astrology is correct, 1/12th of the population should be very similar to me. This same argument applies to anyone. Ask yourself, are one in twelve people you meet similar to you? This is obviously false. You’ll meet some people similar to you, but not one in twelve.
An interesting note about astrology is that it is in the wrong sign. The basis for astrology is the constellations from 3000 years ago. However, the Earth's axis is slowly rotating in the sky, a process called precession. This precessiong causes the constellations to rotate through the sky once every 36,000 years. This means that in the 3000 years since the constellations were defined they have shifted forwards about 1/12 of the way around. This makes the astrologers off by almost one full sign. So, if you think you're a Virgo, you're really a Leo; if you thing you're a Taurus, you're really an Aries; and if you think your a Scorpius, you're really a Libra. And, in fact, the Sun will spend only a few days in the constellation Sagittarius before moving into a constellation that isn't even in the zodiac. This error would have tremendous importance if astrology had any validity.
Astronomy is a science and follows the scientific method. Astrology is a superstition and is no more accurate that saying a black cat crossing your path will bring bad luck.

According to the charts, not likely. However, the charts aren't always right. Scorpios are funny creatures, being one myself, I am suppose to be this cold, heartless, manipulating, calculating B*$%&@, and I'm not. I was raised by a pices and I have all of the pices characteristics. I've also married a Sagitarius, which according to the charts, a fire and water sign don't mix. Well, we made alot of steam because 5 kids and 17 years of marriage later, we are still going strong.
Don't base your relationships soley on the solar charts. They are used for guidance, they are not an exact science, especially since the world is changing and I've read reports that the astrological signs aren't even in the right calander months now.

Astrology depends on an ancient assumption that the positions of stars and planets in the sky influence the character and development of human beings and the hour of important events in their lives.
The origin of astrology cannot be determined with precision. Humans have always been fascinated by shining stars, the moving planets, the movement of the sun across the sky, and the changing phases of the moon. The heavenly bodies were worshipped as gods, just as various figures and pictures were seen in the pattern of the stars – but different pictures in different cultures. We know that in ancient Mesopotamia (Iraq) as well as in Egypt 4,000 years ago they had a kind of "art of star reading" with the aim of predicting when the great rivers would overflow and thereby determining the right time for sowing and harvest. From this assumption it seemed possible to proceed to the supposition that the distant stars and planets "governed" all life on earth – including the destinies and actions of humanity.
Since antiquity, astrology has been almost forgotten for varying periods. But at other times it has again attracted people – usually in times of uncertainty and crisis, just as have the gift of prophecy, spiritism and religious sects with a magical dimension.

Perhaps its because Taurus and Scorpio are opposite signs. Both of you are crazy attracted to each other but have different personalities. So different to even complement each other.
