When Scorpio and Aquarius make a love match, it is a
fusion of two very different life philosophies and many very different
needs. There is much chance for friction here. Where Scorpio faces
their
inner emotional world directly and with an intense energy, thinking
deeply about the more hidden undercurrents of life, Aquarius takes that
same sort of energy and turns it outward. With their unusual,
idealistic
and, above all else, very social outlook on life, Aquarius seems an odd
choice for the more introverted Scorpio. Aquarius needs a crowd to feel
stimulated, and they're always looking around the room for the next
interesting person to get to know. Scorpio, on the other hand, desires
engaging, probing and very intimate time with their romantic mates.
This
pair may seem to have very little in common, but they both have such
strong wills that, when focused on their relationship, can get them
what
they need and want.
Both Scorpio and Aquarius can be
uncooperative and opinionated: They like things to go their way, no
questions asked! For this love match, though, 'their ways' are very
dissimilar. Scorpio is inquisitive, digging deeply into the hidden
meaning of things, always asking questions and wanting to know where
things are going and why. Aquarius is progressive and affable yet does
not enjoy detail. Scorpio may be enticed by their differences, as
Aquarius shows them new, exterior worlds but may end up frustrated
trying to get answers from this eccentric enigma. Aquarius does not
welcome possessiveness, either, preferring to belong to the world
rather
than one single person. But a stinging Scorpion can be fiercely
possessive, and they require more attention than an Aquarian might be
able to give. If Aquarius slows down and pays attention, they may find
the devotion Scorpio provides to be a great support.
The Planets
Mars and Pluto rule Scorpio, and the Planets Saturn and Uranus rule
Aquarius. Mars is a revolutionary, aggressive and spirited masculine
energy, and Pluto enlightens these impulses and adds a rebirthing,
cyclical quality. Saturn is a cool, contained energy, and Uranus is
about all things different and unusual. Mars is emotional, reacting
without thinking things through; such is the nature of Scorpio. Saturn
demands of Aquarius much hard work and discipline, while Uranus gives
them that forward thinking mind. A gentle Scorpio lover, careful not to
tether an Aquarius in too tightly can teach their mate about a life
based on emotional intuition, one that quiets the intellect sometimes
in
favor of physical sensation. Understanding Aquarians can teach their
serious Scorpio mates to calm down, to detach themselves from
uncontrollable situations and to reevaluate their goals if they get off
course.
Scorpio is a Water Sign, and Aquarius is an Air Sign. Air
is about the intellect, so Aquarius tackles life as one chance to grow
and explore after another, while Scorpio is more analytical. Scorpio
looks for purpose, and Aquarius seeks stimulation. These love mates
have
trouble understanding one another's origin of thought. Confrontations
arise is Scorpio's possessiveness gets the better of them or if
Aquarius seems too cool and flippant and denies Scorpio emotional
reassurance. Both need to learn that they view the world in different
ways and they should celebrate and laugh at their differences.
Scorpio and Aquarius are both Fixed Signs. Both can be
unyielding, dogmatic and persevering. If they have a plan, they'll
stick to it until their efforts are rewarded. Once they have made up
their minds that they are good mates for one another, they will never
be
discouraged from maintaining the relationship. But they may have such
contradictory approaches to life that their relationship gets more
difficult than it is pleasurable. If they believe in the value of the
relationship, they will be able to overcome differences.
What's
the best thing about the Scorpio-Aquarius relationship? Their capacity
for success in their synergy. Both Signs have very powerful
personalities, so neither will openly dominate the other. Once they can
appreciate their differences, come together and agree on their
individual roles within the relationship, the results can be intensely
gratifying.
