The dynamic
How Aries and Scorpio get on
Aries and Scorpio are 150° apart. Astrologers call this a quincunx, an awkward angle. Your elements (fire and water) are different, and so are your modes (cardinal and fixed). You have little in common at first. The relationship works through many small adjustments and a real interest in each other’s way of living.
Love · Tense
In love
Aries and Scorpio show love in different ways. Patience and curiosity help you understand each other, and that brings you closer. In a relationship, Aries looks for honesty, some challenge and the chance to lead. Scorpio looks for depth, complete loyalty and no secrets.
Friendship · Tense
As friends
As friends, Aries is the one who suggests the plan and makes it happen. Scorpio is the one who you call with a secret you cannot tell anyone else. You show each other people and places you would never find alone.
Work · Steady
At work
At work, Aries gets results by acting first and correcting mistakes later. Scorpio gets results by studying problems in depth and not giving up. Aries is a cardinal sign, so it likes to start projects. Scorpio is a fixed sign, so it likes to keep them going. Problems come when Aries wants to change direction and Scorpio does not.
Making it work
Three things to try
- Explain your habits and routines to each other. Most problems here come from two different ways of living.
- Watch for impatience from Aries and need for control from Scorpio.
