The dynamic

How Scorpio and Aquarius get on

Scorpio and Aquarius are 90° apart. Astrologers call this a square, an angle of tension. You are both fixed signs, so you want things with the same strength. Your elements, water and air, want different things. This creates disagreements, but it also helps you both change and improve.

Love · Hard

In love

Aquarius is often attracted by Scorpio’s intensity. In return, Aquarius offers originality, fairness and long-term thinking. The question is whether you can give each other what you need. Scorpio needs depth, complete loyalty and no secrets. Aquarius needs personal space, friendship first and acceptance of their unusual side. The attraction is strong, and so are the arguments. Scorpio’s need for control meets Aquarius’s emotional distance. With humour and patience, this can be a very lively couple.

Friendship · Tense

As friends

As friends, Scorpio is the one who you call with a secret you cannot tell anyone else. Aquarius is the one who supports good causes and the people behind them. You argue, you laugh about it afterwards, and you help each other improve.

Work · Tense

At work

At work, Scorpio gets results by studying problems in depth and not giving up. Aquarius gets results by finding new ways of doing things. Scorpio and Aquarius are both fixed signs, the signs in the middle of each season. You are both loyal and slow to change your mind. When you agree, nothing stops you. When you disagree, a decision can take weeks.

Making it work

Three things to try

  1. When you argue, discuss the problem, not the person. Agree in advance who decides what.
  2. Watch for need for control from Scorpio and emotional distance from Aquarius.
  3. Sun signs are only one part. Compare your Moon signs for feelings and your Venus signs for love.
