Scorpio and Aquarius

Scorpio and Aquarius Compatibility

Scorpio Aquarius is often a hard combination to make work. Amongst other things communication is likely to be a major issue.

The low scores represent the initial low compatibility of this match. However, you are both strong willed enough to make this work, and if you succeed the scores would be much higher.

If you can both adapt to the others style this is a relationship which will improve steadily over time, and eventually rival any other combination. The low scores represent a high initial challenge, and not a long term pessimistic view.

This article is in two halves, the first is written from the viewpoint of the Scorpio man or Scorpio woman, and the second is written from the viewpoint of the Aquarius man or Aquarius woman.

From the Scorpio viewpoint

Aquarius is often very self confident and clever, though sometimes not very emotional. Initially it's likely you'll be attracted to this partners fast mind and deep insights. There's often also a high level of physical attraction in this combination, and it can make for an intense short term relationship.

You both can be somewhat rebellious and irresponsible when the urge takes you, and in many ways you're likely to bring this out in each other.

In the longer term however it's very likely you'll start to see this partner as too superficial or emotionally shallow, and far too independent. Meanwhile they'll find you obsessive and perhaps even a little scary.

This relationship will come down to a battle of intellectual analysis (your Aquarians) versus emotional needs (yours). You'll wonder why your partner can't just follow their heart, and they'll wonder why you can't just stick to the facts. Communication is potentially a serious problem here. You'll say 'red' and your partner will hear 'blue'.

When matters of the heart are raised it's likely your intensity will make your Aquarius pull away. You'll respond by becoming more emotional, and a vicious circle can result.

Compounding this, you both can be very stubborn, and it's likely that any fights will drag on for a fairly long time, with neither of you feeling the need to compromise or back down.

A particular danger is that your partner is very likely to have a very fast and clever mind, and given to saying some fairly blunt and spontaneous things during arguments, which you may have trouble forgetting or forgiving later. Again, a vicious circle is likely to result.

Overall you both have a fair amount of work to do to meet in the middle on these issues. If you both don't mind a little conflict this can make for an exciting and challenging relationship, it probably won't ever be labeled as 'harmonious' though.

As with all low scoring combinations it can definitely work, as long as you both want it enough and dont rely on it "just happening" without any effort - your partner is more likely to assume this than you are.

Regarding day to day aspects of the relationship you're likely to find the main difference between you is that you like routines, whereas your Aquarius sometimes goes out of their way to avoid them, often preferring to tackle the same task in a slightly different way every time. This may puzzle you, though in the scheme of things it's a minor detail.

Lkely to be the best part of this combination, with very good chemistry and a mutual willingness to try new things.

Equally, make-up sex here is likely to be very intense and fairly addictive, and you may both decide it makes the other aspects of the relationship worth the price.

It’s important to note however that we’re looking only at sun signs here. There are many other planets which can have an equal or greater effect on someones personality. Makes sense, as ultimately everyone is of course unique. Generalizing too far based just on sun signs can therefore be misleading.

To fully understand someone or how compatible you are with them we need to calculate those other planet placements from their date of birth, and compare them to your own, and then interpret the results.

This unlocks the real power of astrology, and gives much more useful and specific information – everything from how they view you, how to turn them on, how to avoid arguments etc. If you would like to explore this further please see the astrology compatibility reports page.

From the Aquarius viewpoint

Aquarius and Scorpio Compatibility

There's often a high level of physical attraction in this combination, and it can certainly make for a good short term relationship or one night stand. You both can be somewhat rebellious and irresponsible when the urge takes you, and in many ways you're likely to bring this out in each other.

In the longer term this relationship will come down to a battle of intellectual analysis (yours) versus emotional needs (your partners). You'll wonder why your Scorpio cant see the black and white facts in front of them, and they'll wonder why you can be so heartless. Communication is likely to be a serious problem. You'll say 'red' and your Scorpio will hear 'blue'.

Compounding this, you both can be very stubborn, and it's likely that any fights will drag on for a fairly long time, with neither of you feeling the need to compromise or back down. While your fast and clever mind is likely to have your Scorpio 'outgunned' in the short term, know that they have a major advantage in the long term, and fights are likely to turn into a war of attrition, which you're destined to lose!

Your Scorpio is a partner who is very possessive and controlling by your standards, neither of which you'll always enjoy. Similarly this is a partner who tends to be fairly obsessive and often jealous, and in general their emotional depth may confound or even scare you.

You like freedom and flexibility while your partner likes routines. You like to learn and judge facts, while this partner likes to follow their intuition and heart. Overall you both have a fair amount of work to do to meet in the middle on these issues.

If you both don't mind a little conflict this can make for an exciting and challenging relationship, it probably won't ever be labeled as 'harmonious' however. As with all low scoring combinations it can definitely work, as long as you both want it enough and are prepared to take the time to understand and respect your partners needs and viewpoint.

Summary

So is this article conclusive?

No! This article is based only on sun sign interaction. In order to provide a lot of people with information it's a convenient and fast way to generalize, but it's far from conclusive at this broad level.

To get a complete picture we need to take all the other planets and their interactions into account. If you would like more information for your unique relationship please see the astrology compatibility reports page.

Other resources

Often the hardest questions to ask are the most important - for example, what are their views and expectations for raising children? sharing housework? saving money? career goals? etc.

One subtle and fun way to approach this is by working through a couples question book together - that way it's not really you asking, and delicate subjects can be covered easily. The best book for this I've found is Michael Webb's 1000 Questions For Couples

For reviews of this and other relationship ebooks on subjects ranging from improving your sex life to getting an ex back please see the relationship ebook reviews page.

A third method of further research is to share experiences with other couples of this same sign combination - you may be amazed how consistent they often are. Please see the links below for visitor experiences and questions.

In any relationship there are also very significant external factors. One of these is how well you understand yourself, your partner and your partnership - the more you do, the easier it is to make the relationship more exciting, fulfilling and satisfying for both of you, regardless of your starting position. The articles on how to Make him fall in love with you and Make her fall in love with you have information on how you can use astrology to revitalize a relationship.
