The bound state and low-energy scattering properties of two oriented dipoles are investigated for both bosonic and fermionic symmetries. Interestingly, a universal scaling emerges for the expectation value of the angular momentum for deeply-bound two-dipole states. This scaling traces to the pendulum motion of two dipoles in strong dipole regime. The low-energy scattering phase shifts of two dipoles also show universal behavior. These universal observations make connections to the scaling laws reported in Refs. [1, 2] for three dipoles. Atomic units are used throughout this work.
