Scorpio: Love  and Compatibility

Within every native of Scorpio, there is an intense sexuality and smoldering sensuality. Here, there is a profound depth and attraction to love and what accompanies love in life. Those ruled by Scorpio are passionate when they invest their feelings and things are never boring with a Scorpio sweetheart. They thrive best when they feel secure and stable within a relationship, enjoying the physical gifts of being in love as much as they enjoy the emotional ones. The mates of Scorpio individuals will never fathom what is on the mind of their partners since this Sign is essentially...and constantly...mysterious by nature. The one exception to this is when a Scorpio native is engaging in expression through his or her passion. These are watchful, quiet and dedicated souls who can be as protective of the ones they love as they are of their own vulnerable emotions and feelings. The Scorpio subject tends to be dominate in any relationship since feeling in control is one of the ways in which he or she can invest the heart. Although there is a notorious jealous streak here, accompanied by a deep-rooted possessiveness, the Scorpio native is capable of an unequaled level of trust and faith in terms of love and romance. Those who fall under the jurisdiction of this Zodiac Sign are usually unafraid to face either life or death and such fearlessness translates into sexual expression. They can reach the highest highs or the lowest lows in whatever passion they pursue and they are the most intense, uninhibited and dynamic individuals of the Zodiac in terms of physical intimacy.

Those who fall under the jurisdiction of Scorpio possess an electrifying magnetism that tends to draw partners into their charmed circle. Not everyone is prone to recognize the attraction at first since Scorpio natives tend to hide their light under a bushel. These are souls who are far from light-hearted in love...save in inspired flashes...because they reach for the stars, expecting the highest ecstasy from their emotional lives. Unfortunately, individuals governed by this Sign are bitterly disappointed when this falls short of their dreams. The Scorpio impact on a potential mate can be magnificent, but it will all depend on whether this native is in the mood. Still, these are not heartless or ruthless types and possess little in the way of dalliance skills. Scorpio subjects desire a love affair that will give off sparks and they are deeply affected, even when only thinking about a loved one. Here, the intuition in love is highly developed and a response can be sensed in another almost immediately. Scorpio can be intensely jealous, but is one of the few who do not place too much importance on faithfulness...believing in a personal power to maintain a lifetime hold over a mate. Past sweethearts probably never forget a Scorpio love interest or the effect such a relationship had on their lives. Utterly sincere in their determination to make a success of a long-term committment, individuals governed by Scorpio want to be "in love" all their lives.

Those governed by Scorpio prefer a partner who can help him or her obtain what is truly desired. Indeed, Scorpio natives ordinarily expect measurable results and benefits from any and all relationships/associations. At times, the rather demanding nature of this Sign can become distasteful, but it is up to the individual to decide whether a partnership with Scorpio will be worth all the effort and trouble. Scorpio natives tend to be rather pleased if others understand, approve and perhaps even appreciate the fact that they do possess somewhat fixed ideas and opinions regarding most matters. Also well appreciated will be the further realization that Scorpio individuals cannot tolerate anyone hounding them to change. Basically, they are prone to adore partners who are especially patient. It should never be forgotten that in the romantic arena, the physical aspect of any relationship will be vitally important to those governed by this Sign. Natives of Scorpio do not care for individuals who lack determination and direction, believing that it is necessary to have a definite and clear-cut goal regarding what is wanted from life. Most people ruled by Scorpio take their own goals and turn them into burning desires. Essentially, these are strongly desire-motivated individuals...ones who are more than a little put out by anyone who dares to criticize them for seeking fulfillment of their aims in life.

When it comes to long term commitments, the Scorpio native requires solid security without feeling that his or her partner is a doormat. This tends to be a precarious balance that is only learned over the course of time. The longer a Scorpio individual is in a relationship, then the more secure that relationship is prone to become. These are naturally suspicious souls (feeling and seeing things that most of the general population work to ignore) and such depth is accompanied by the need for some equally powerful self-protective mechanisms. Here, the insecurity and jealousy are by-products of self-preservation. The Scorpio subject likes to be in control and is very seldom found in a subservient role, unless he or she has chosen to occupy such a position. These are persons who need passionate mates...ones who can keep pace with the inherent Scorpio desire. In addition, they need partners who are capable of both maintaining a loyalty and their own sense of individuality. This is of paramount importance if the relationship is to be balanced. Those governed by this Zodiac Sign are essentially homebodies, feeling most comfortable when they are within their own domains. They despise being surprised, embarrassed or humiliated and will retaliate with incredible swiftness and strength. This is a Sign capable of amazing turn-around and growth. In short, the Scorpio powers of rejuvenation...either physical, spiritual or emotional...should never be underestimated.

The Scorpio male is impulsive, energetic and ambitious, possessing great physical and mental vigor. He is a champion of human rights...as well as his own...and as a result, is often "at odds" with government agencies. This man is quick to make any partner understand that he is the boss and above all else, is completely intolerant of any outsider meddling in what he considers to be his personal life. Still, beneath the hard surface, there is usually a rather soft and balsam-like heart. The Scorpio male always says exactly what he means. All Scorpio natives possess a second sight when it comes to knowing what is really happening with people, places and things. Thus, if a potential mate is looking to fool the man ruled by this Sign into thinking one thing and doing somethig different, the result will be certain disaster since Scorpio is dangerous when crossed. Generally, Scorpio men are very physical, but tend to be emotional and almost poetic in their pursuit of love. Still, there is a certain brutality and radical honesty here that some Zodiac Signs frequently find difficult to comprehend. Brutally frank...brutally honest...brutally brutal...males ruled by Scorpio refuse to do anything halfway, which includes the love they have for their partners. Once these men have set a goal to attain something or someone, they will do whatever is necessary to achieve their desired objective, regardless of how long the process might take. No potential partner should ever try to change or reform the Scorpio male. The quickest way to chase him away is to encourage him to dress differently, or correct his manner or speech, or rearrange his closet or office filing system. What this man does, he does the way he does...because that is exactly the way he wants to do it. It will also be important not to ask him for an accounting of his business or how he makes his living or where his money comes from. Scorpio is one of the most private Signs of the Zodiac but because of the outright honesty (which is inherent in the Scorpio character), its natives will reveal anything and everything...provided they are not asked to do so. In order to be happy with a Scorpio male, any potential partner will need to learn that patience and understanding are the most valuable virtues to possess when dealing with him. If he appears blunt and even rude at times, he should not be antagonized...wait until he is in a more affable mood and then try a little flattery, which usually does the trick quite nicely with this man.

The Scorpio female is sensible, practical and a loyal friend. However, she is also jealous, passionate and overly-possessive. Subject to flattery, this woman must be shown a great deal of devotion and affection in order for her better nature to emerge. When it does...and when that side of her is appealed to...she can be magnificently generous, kind, considerate and tender. But, if this female is antagonized and/or deceived, then she will give her victim plenty of cause to regret such an action. Under no circumstances should a relationship be sought with a woman governed by this Sign unless the potential mate is in magnificent health, strong of mind and determination, and willing to change personal opinions about many things. Respect for the female species in general will also be demanded by this woman. While she always carries an air of mystery and seduction, a potential partner should never make the mistake of thinking she is someone to toy with or simply enjoy for just an evening. The Scorpio female is an absolute powder keg of emotions and passions waiting to be ignited. Still, just because an individual has all the "matches," it does not necessarily make this woman an "easy mark." Once in a relationship, this female is fiercely loyal, making a cheating partner pay a very high price for any transgression...and though Scorpio may forgive, she will certainly never forget. It should be noted that the Scorpio female positively thrives on her secrets. Thus, if a potential mate tries to find out everything about her and manages, by chance, to succeed, then she will immediately lose interest and put an end to the relationship. This is because having secrets is as natural to the Scorpio woman as a tree having leaves and her secrets are absolutely vital to her survival. Hence, any mate will simply have to learn to trust her. In order to be happy with this female, she should be given no cause to become suspicious or jealous. The female governed by this Sign is exceedingly possessive by nature and cannot bear to have her affection and trust trifled with. She will stop at nothing to avenge a wrong...whether it be real or imagined. If the Scorpio woman shows a tendency to extremes, then her partner must be firm but gentle in admonishment. She must also be made to realize that moderation is the greatest virtue she can possess.

Positive Aspects Of Scorpio In Love:
Loyal - Supportive - Protective - Generous with Strength and Knowledge - Humble - Quiet - Unshakable - Passionate - Encompassing

Negative Aspects Of Scorpio In Love:
Possessive - Jealous - Obsessive - Quick to Anger - Suspicious - Mistrusting - Secretive - Unreliable

Romantic Style:
Powerful - Passionate - Emotionally Forceful
Scorpio natives are often regarded as somewhat magnetic and the libido here is said to be legendary. However, these individuals can be exceedingly jealous and resentful, requiring a partner who can respond at the deepest of levels. In short, those governed by Scorpio have no time or patience for superficial unions. This is a sign which possesses much stamina, but one that can be both brutal and emotional. This subject understands the innermost needs of a partner and is an expert in the art of love and romance. Still, there will always be the tendency toward jealousy and the seeking of revenge...to say nothing of the secretive character associated with this Sign. These natives are prone to act mysterious and profound, but it will be necessary for any mate not to get upset over this...if left to themselves, those ruled by Scorpio will eventually come down to earth.

Scorpio and Aries
This is quite likely the most difficult pairing of the Zodiac in terms of achieving harmony. The ability of Aries to give way to others will be severely put to the test by the inherent Scorpio trait to assume control of every situation. Here, it would not be unusual for the Aries partner to do the exact opposite of what Scorpio desires in an attempt to simply be contentious. One of the major problems will be the unreasonable jealousy of the Scorpio native, which is a deep-rooted part of the Scorpio nature and cannot be changed. Thus, Aries may soon become highly claustrophobic if he or she is forced to follow the Scorpio partner's idea of nesting. Scorpio is of the opinion that the domestic environment is the place to be completely relaxed and isolated from the rest of the world. However, Aries is more interested in being involved in that world to the fullest extent. Therefore, the Aries partner will want to hold parties and have friends dropping in and out most of the time. Consequently, the Scorpio native will be driven to distraction. Generally, those governed by Scorpio mate for life...but this combination could be the exception. Scorpio subjects have certain ideals which their partners are expected to live up to. Any failure on the part of the Aries native to meet these ideals will cause Scorpio to push him or her totally out of the mind and heart. In essence, Scorpio is jealous, overly-demanding and expects total possession. The dominate and dominating nature of Aries will never stand for being dominated. In short, this is not a promising union.

While basking in the first bloom of this relationship, each partner will probably wonder how he or she ever managed apart from the other. These are two Signs who adore power and together, they can achieve almost anything, provided they learn how to share the spotlight. The Scorpio native is very focused by nature and once the sights have been set upon an Aries individual, that individual is most likely totally unable to offer any resistance. In addition, Scorpio will harbor a deeper and more complex devotion to the relationship than will the Aries native. This pair tends to engage in arguments that are both heavy and heated, their connection being highly passionate and often contentious because both have jealous tendencies. The Scorpio partner is liable to be more patient but is also more possessive and can lash out in a nasty fashion when his or her feelings get hurt. Still, despite the differences in emotional involvement, both love risk and enjoy taking chances. If nothing else, this union will never be boring. Aries and Scorpio can have many adventures in each other's company, although there will be difficulties with mutual understanding. Aries is a true extrovert...totally up-front and open, while Scorpio is more inward...emotional and often manipulative. It may be necessary for these two to call a truce in order to keeping the relationship running on a smooth track.

Scorpio is ruled by the planet Pluto and Aries is ruled by the the planet Mars. It is likely that this pair will either end up being staunch allies or deadly enemies. Together, they will have an exciting time of it...both in a physical sense and otherwise...but squabbles will be normal in such a challenge-oriented couple. Scorpio is governed by the element of Water while Aries is governed by the element of Fire. These two elements can be a magnificent blend, one that combines physical action and emotion in order to get things accomplished. Here, Scorpio will be the strategist, helping Aries to slow down and learn the art of planning battles before plunging in headfirst. Aries will teach Scorpio how to let go and move on when efforts have been thwarted. However, Water does have a tendency to dampen Fire and the Scorpio trait toward emotional manipulation will often have such an effect on Aries, virtually drowning much of the Aries enthusiasm. Conversely, too much Fire causes Water to evaporate and when under emotional stress, Scorpio can become exceedingly vindictive. Hence, it will be necessary for this pair to work together and not against each other. Scorpio is Fixed in quality and Aries is Cardinal in quality. Aries can teach Scorpio all about spontaneity...doing things simply for the experience rather than always having an agenda. Scorpio can help Aries to stabilize and finish things rather than constantly moving onto new projects without completing what is already on the table. If both can realize there is a good chance each will be loyal and devoted to each other, they can share leadership...Aries as the initiator and Scorpio as the emotional guide. Since both individuals are winners and refuse to give up, the power of their combined forces will be immense, making for a relationship that will never settle for second best.

In essence, this combination may not be a great match since there is no room for two heads of household and each native is marked by a very dominant temperament. Although Scorpio will appreciate Aries in a physically romantic sense, more mundane interests would constantly be at odds. Plus, Scorpio may become intimidated by the leadership qualities of Aries and this is sure to result in problems. Thus, even though a relationship is possible, it is not likely to come with much longevity.

Scorpio and Taurus

Both Scorpio and Taurus are prone to be extremely stubborn Signs, to say nothing of being opinionated and set in their ways. This can reflect back on the relationship and make even minor issues a cause for all out war...with the more serious conflicts becoming virtually intolerable. Still, money problems are not likely to arise here since both partners take a serious approach to finances. Scorpio and Taurus are by nature possessive and jealous, but this could bring them closer together as each will understand the feelings of insecurity that the other is experiencing. Both partners share the basic need for a secure and stable background. Thus, a domestic environment will play a large part in their life together. However, these shared attitudes and traits may be all that can make this relationship a workable proposition. Fights are not likely to stop long enough for this couple to work on their differences in an unprejudiced manner or for any suggestion on the part of either to be implemented. Yet another cause of tension will be the conflict of Scorpio's strong and emotional nature to the rational and realistic character of Taurus. Here, the romantic life will be erratic at best. Both partners tend to be physically active in a sexual sense but the times their desires conincide could be far too few to provide satisfaction in a long term committment.

If nothing else, a Scorpio/Taurus union will be intense...either positively or negatively. These Signs are opposite on the Zodiac Wheel which does lend a rather special and complex connection between the two and they can, on occasion, combine to make a whole with each partner's strengths balancing the other's weaknesses. There is much in common here, but because both personalities are so powerful, they often swing between passionate romance and passionate disagreement. Scorpio and Taurus are Signs that possess deep desires...Scorpio for power and Taurus for possessions. Both are concerned with wealth and resources...in addition to being impassioned about all sorts of things. The Taurus native is probably somewhat more self-focused than Scorpio, who tends to be more involved with his or her mate and immediate family. The Taurus partner will prize honesty and forthrightness and abhor infidelity. Unfortunately for Taurus, natives of Scorpio are prone to be mysterious...their need for security related to the need for constant reassurance that the emotional connection with any mate is a solid one. Luckily, Taurus also requires this type of reassurance and is more than willing to provide such to a partner.

Scorpio is ruled by the planet Pluto and Taurus is ruled by the planet Venus. Courtesy of Pluto's influence, this makes for an intense combination...one which is an excellent balance of masculine and feminine energy. Together, Scorpio and Taurus form the basis of all love relationships...love and passion. Venus also combines well with Mars (the ruling planet of Scorpio prior to the discovery of Pluto). Mars is associated with the passion of romance and Venus with the beauty. By nature, Scorpio natives are smoldering and intense...to say nothing of being highly sexual. Taurus, inherently sensual and tireless, cannot help but be attracted to Scorpio's intensity. In turn, Scorpio enjoys the devotion which is a natural trait of Taurus individuals. Scorpio is governed by the element of Water while Taurus is governed by the element of Earth. Scorpio is prone to be deep...like an ocean...but too much upset can cause a tidal wave. When natives of Scorpio believe they have been crossed by a partner, then retaliation can be vindictive and vicious. Fortunately, Scorpio and Taurus are Signs that will usually be exceedingly loyal to each other. However, where Taurus is open with everything laid bare on the surface, Scorpio is more secretive and inscrutible. Each can teach the other about their opposite views of life (i.e., direct versus complex) and another factor which adds a tantalizing dimension to this union is the shared tendency toward jealousy. The Taurus partner will just adore Scorpio's jealous displays since it means that he or she is adored and appreciated. Scorpio and Taurus are both Fixed in quality, which means both are likely to be somewhat stubborn and resolute once their minds have been made up. It can only be hoped that their minds agree or there will certainly be battles...the likes of which neither is likely to experience with any other Zodiac Signs. Here, Taurus appears to prevail as the dominant partner, but such is not always the case. The Scorpio native will be very adept at winning through more devious means...employing emotional manipulation to get what he or she wants, for example. This pair must learn to discuss their views and needs in an open fashion to ensure a happy and lasting union. Compromise is also essential and this will depend largely upon the Scorpio partner's ability to learn to trust Taurus. If this couple cannot overcome their opinionated stances, then the relationship is doomed to failure. Still, this is a powerful connection that can shine when obstacles to intimacy are cleared away. Once the Scorpio partner realizes that Taurus is committed and unlikely to create the misery that some natives of Scorpio seem to attract to their lives, this union could blossom and flourish.

In essence, this combination is one of mutual admiration. In a romantic sense, the physical ties will be strong and the pair usually have much in common. However, the chief problem is likely to be jealousy...and it almost invariably shows its face sooner or later. Here, longevity is best achieved when the Taurus native is very careful to keep faith with his or her Scorpio partner.

Scorpio and Gemini

Natives of Gemini strive to live a life that is full and busy...not so with natives of Scorpio, who are more centered on the idea of self-improvement. Gemini takes great joy in being with stimulating people and this could give rise to the infamous Scorpio jealousy, which forever lurks below the surface since those governed by this Sign are exceedingly suspicious by nature. Scorpio possesses a protective urge toward a partner and will do his or her utmost to protect that individual. In addition, Scorpio needs a mate who will be proud of his or her accomplishments. There is no doubt that the Scorpio partner will try very hard to make Gemini happy but unfortunately, will often fall short of this goal because Gemini needs to be involved with many other people...living life to the fullest...in order to achieve happiness. The Gemini partner is sure to find Scorpio's jealous streak and displays of possessiveness to be utterly appalling, which could cause the relationship to crumble. In short, Gemini will likely feel imprisoned rather than attached. The moods of this pair will not always coincide but when they do, it can serve to bring the couple closer together. Still, this state of affairs does not happen often enough to make for a happy union...due chiefly to the insecurities of the Scorpio partner and which can result in violent and frequently physical quarrels, after which Scorpio could well seek refuge in alcohol or drugs. The intimacy between these two is also somewhat shaky since romantic interludes are certain to be shaded by the foregoing events of the day and is unlikely to be one that will bring much joy or satisfaction to either individual. Basically, this is not a recommended relationship in terms of longevity.

A Scorpio/Gemini pairing has the best chance of success if each can learn to understand and accept the other's differences...and if this can be achieved, they could make for a well-nigh unbreakable couple. However, Gemini is adaptable, intellectual, outgoing and chatty, while Scorpio tends to be secretive, focused, intense and determined. The Gemini native is prone to take things lightly, which includes romantic relationships. Conversely, Scorpio harbors a deep need for emotional connection and intimacy. Indeed, generally speaking, those ruled by Scorpio are very loyal to their mates and extremely committed to the union. An affair between these two will likely run high in passion and can often be characterized by arguments. Gemini adores a good debate, considering it to be the epitome of mental stimulation, and the characterisic flirtatiousness of this Sign is sure to grate upon the jealous and possessive nerves of any Scorpio partner. Still, despite these differences, this will be no dull relationship. Both Signs here love taking chances and seize any opportunity to add some spice to their lives. This pair will experience many adventures together but if things become too tense and quarrels begin to take a negative turn, then each individual must make the effort to reconcile if they value the relationship and want their union to last.

Scorpio is ruled by the planet Pluto and Gemini is ruled by the planet Mercury. Mars also plays an influential part in the Scorpio make-up, being the planetary ruler of this Sign prior to the discovery of Pluto. Scorpio is generally quite concerned with physical and emotional intimacy, requiring much reassurance that any mate values the relationship with a fervor equal to that of the Scorpio partner. Luckily, the excellent communicative abilities of Gemini are a plus in that area and the Gemini native should have no trouble in conveying dedication to the Scorpio individual...assuming that dedication is the feeling invoked. It is impossible for Gemini to fake commitment...this Sign cannot and will not do it. Such being the case, the intense Scorpio partner must then learn to back off a little. Gemini individuals are certainly prepared to enter into a commitment, but only if free to do so. They refuse to be coerced. Scorpio is governed by the element of Water while Gemini is governed by the element of Air. These two elements can result in a wonderful combination. Indeed, the best decisions are made when the intellect is incorporated with emotions...a blending of the heart and the mind. However, the trick comes in getting Water and Air to work in tandem. Scorpio is an expert strategist. If there is a decision to be made or a project at hand, Scorpio can certainly help flightly Gemini to focus on the most favorable options. In turn, Gemini can teach Scorpio how to relinquish and move on when efforts are thwarted. Still, there is a negative aspect to the union of Water and Air. The emotional manipulations of Scorpio can prove to dampen Gemini's inherent energy and enthusiasm. Also, airy Gemini can leave the deep waters of Scorpio in a state that is choppy, rough and disturbed. Scorpio is Fixed in quality and Gemini is Mutable in quality. Gemini is prone to do things on a whim...solely for the experience. This is contrary to the Scorpio nature, where there is almost always a plan in mind, or at least an ulterior motive. Still, Scorpio can employ focus and determination in order to teach Gemini the value of finishing something before leaping headlong into the next new experience. If these two can come to understand each other, then a truly mutually satisfying relationship could be the result with Gemini providing the reasoning and brain power and Scorpio supplying a healthy measure of sex appeal, emotionalism and passion. Both these Signs are winners who refuse to give up and when coupled with the strength of this union...assuming the couple can function as a single unit...this will certainly result in a relationship that refuses to settle for second best.

In essence, this combination could be a fair match, but will not come easy or without problems. In Scorpio, the Gemini partner finds a mate who can surpass his or her urge for action. From a mental point of view, this couple is probably equal...although sexually and physically, Gemini will likely be too modest to meet Scorpio demands. Perhaps the chief danger here is the inherent Gemini desire for freedom that is sure to clash with the jealous and possessive nature of Scorpio. In short, this pairing will have some difficulty in rectifying their basic natures and their love connection will need to be strong in order for the relationship to survive.

Scorpio and Cancer

Individuals of both Scorpio and Cancer are motivated by emotion and intuition. Thus, the bond shared by these two will be very strong. Scorpio natives are inclined to throw heart and soul into a relationship and expect any partner to be true. They are also prone to keep a jealous eye open for any wrongdoing. Fortunately for this pairing, the beliefs of Cancer mirror those of Scorpio and the Cancer partner will never give any reason for the Scorpio mate's jealousy to blossom. It is part and parcel of the Scorpio character to work hard...either at home or on a job...and his or her residence is the place reserved for peace and quiet, which is paramount if Scorpio is to unwind from all the daily tensions. If the emotional need of the Scorpio native is met and he or she is comfortable with the trust placed in the Cancer partner, then it is extremely unlikely that Scorpio would ever dream of being unfaithful. Cancer's natural concern for the welfare of others may somehow lead to Scorpio thinking that those people are using Cancer's good nature and disposition...thoughts that originate from a touch of jealousy in the Cancer partner having an interest...however well-intended and innocent...in someone else. Here, the Cancer partner will have an immense respect for Scorpio and even though Cancer is of a highly critical nature, he or she will learn to phrase those criticisms without wounding the Scorpio pride. In the area of physical romance, Cancer may well be totally possessed by Scorpio...even to the point of being inspired to a greater response than he or she can achieve with any other Sign. Thus, can Scorpio widen the Cancer horizons of passion. In short, this is a most favorable and compatible match.

The Scorpio/Cancer combination results in a drawing together of energies found in two emotionally intense Signs. This usually leads to an excellent blend, with each partner's strengths balancing the weaknesses of the other. Here, there is a very potent sexual attaction and this couple will have much in common...and much potential to keep the relationship both passionate and strong. These two will enjoy making purchases together and creating a comfortable living space. Cancer craves security and Scorpio strives for power. Thus, both partners will occupy their minds with thoughts of domestic good and resources, including stocks, bonds and inheritances. Since each individual is concerned with the home and possesses fierce loyalties to the family group, they will complement each other very nicely. In addition, these are Signs who view life as a passionate and deepy emotional exercise of human connection.

Scorpio is ruled by the planet Pluto, with the secondary influence of Mars (the planet that ruled Scorpio prior to the discovery of Pluto) and Cancer is ruled by the Moon. Courtesy of Pluto's powerful influence, this is not only an intense combination of planets but a good balance of masculine and feminine energy. The blending of Scorpio with Cancer forms the basic foundation of human relationship...the Moon's nurturing love coupled with the ambition and passion associated with Mars. The Moon and Mars cooperate nicely with each other. The Moon is concerned with growth and rebirth...Mars is associated with the passion of romance. Thus, influenced by the energy of Mars, Scorpio is smoldering and intense and the emotional Cancer cannot help but be attracted to such intensity. In turn, Scorpio enjoys the adoration inherent in the Cancer native who is ruled by the nurturing Moon. Both Scorpio and Cancer are governed by the element of Water. Hence, both these Signs are exceedingly deep and...much like the ocean...it is virtually impossible to really see to the bottom of either. Scorpio and Cancer may draw further and further into themselves and then suddenly roar back with intimidating force. Here, the loyalty between this couple will be formidable, thanks to the mutual desire for emotional security. However, while Cancer will fix emotional energy on the family and home, Scorpio is prone to focus more upon life's nuances and undertones...the secrets behind the true intentions of others and the power that can be wielded over emotions. In this pairing, the Scorpio partner can take Cancer on a journey beyond the literal surface of things and the expansive heart of the Cancer mate can open Scorpio to his or her own emotions...teaching Scorpio that feeling is nothing to fear. In addition, there can be no doubt that the Scorpio individual will appreciate Cancer's practicality and Cancer rather relishes the jealousy of Scorpio...proof to Cancer that the Scorpio mate truly loves and cherishes him or her. Scorpio is Fixed in quality and Cancer is Cardinal in quality. Once these two have a common wish, then it is virtually sure to be achieved. However, if opinions clash, there is going to be trouble. The Cancer partner will likely be the first to instigate an argument and Scorpio almost certainly the last to finish it. Cancer may appear to act as the dominant partner in this relationship and manage to get his or her way more often, but such is not always the case. On occasion, Scorpio refuses to even agree to disagree...simply pretending to give in...and neither Sign is beyond using emotional manipulation to exact revenge. In order for this union to work, each partner must strive to avoid allowing disagreements and bad feelings to boil over, instead discussing what is truly important on a personal level and then reaching an equitable compromise. Once Scorpio and Cancer learn to trust and believe in one another, they can achieve almost anything by virtue of sheer determination and this love affair will probably only fail if the couple cannot overcome their opinionated and stubborn sides. Perhaps the best aspect of a Scorpio/Cancer match is the powerful teamwork than can result if each partner can agree on mutual goals. When Cancer realizes that Scorpio is there for the long haul and that the relationship is an emotionally productive one, there is no doubt that this affair can blossom. Here, the shared determination makes for a partnership of formidable strength.

In essence, this combination in an excellent one. Jealousy may plague both partners from time-to-time, but the magnificent mutual ability to love on a deep level will generally limit periods of conflict. Scorpio is well equipped to cope with the moods of Cancer and the excess energy of the Scorpio mate will usually act as a potent tonic for the reticence of Cancer. Thus, the Scorpio/Cancer match could prove to be one of the Zodiac's most ideal unions.

Scorpio and Leo

Scorpio natives are prone to dissect everyone and everything that happens to fall beneath their watchful eyes. However, it is also in the nature of this Sign to be highly insulted should any partner attempt to do the same thing with the Scorpio personality. Leo individuals have an open manner of speaking but seldom reveal everything about themselves. These are souls who like to hold back certain things, which usually results in the Scorpio mate becoming indignant...although he or she will be equally as secretive (or even more so) and refuse to fully open up under any circumstances. In essence, those ruled by Scorpio have a difficult time in finding a suitable partner from any Zodiac Sign due to the overly-demanding and overbearing ways which are inherent in these natives. Scorpio expects total obedience and an absorbtion in his or her work and life...often to the suppression of Leo's personal desires. This leads to the Leo partner experiencing much unhappiness and bitterness. Scorpio will doubtless dictate to Leo how the finances may be spent, but will have no qualms in spending money for items that are personally wanted. It is indeed true that Leo is somewhat notorious for being extravagent, but Scorpio will demand that any such cash outlays first be "cleared" with him or her. Scorpio natives are somewhat infamous for being overly active in the arena of physical intimacy, so this aspect of the relationship may compensate the Leo partner for many other things...but this is also an area where the Leo partner is likely to be expected to give way to the wishes of Scorpio and, when it is noticed by the Leo partner that Scorpio is reluctant to reciprocate, Leo will doubtless begin to feel hurt and rejected. In short, this will be a rather storm-tossed pairing at best.

The Scorpio/Leo relationship tends to result in a dynamic and intense union, with each partner normally being well-tuned to the needs of the other. Scorpio demands respect and harbors a deep desire to be wanted, while Leo needs adoration and has to be constantly complimented. Both individuals are extremely loyal and often possessive of one another, but each is ably equipped to provide what the other needs while still enjoying the strengths possessed by his or her partner. Leo natives relish comfort and luxury, frequently doing things on a very grand scale and prone to be flamboyant. Scorpio is appreciative of these traits and usually quite happy to be the audience Leo requires, provided there is equality in the relationship. Those governed by Leo tend to shine more brightly and more insistently than any other Sign of the Zodiac, eventually evolving into the living and breathing manifestation of magnificence and luxury. Conversely, Scorpio shies away from the limelight, but likes to control the mechanics. Thus, since both Leo and Scorpio are so determined, this couple will need to work very hard in order to understand and accept one another.

Scorpio is ruled by the planet Pluto, with a secondary influence from the planet Mars (which presided over Scorpio prior to the discovery of Pluto) and Leo is ruled by the Sun. The Sun is concerned with ego and self, radiating warmth and light. Indeed, those governed by Leo emit this type of zeal and enthusiasm. Mars is concerned with war, brashness and battle, while Pluto is the governing factor related to Scorpio's inner dialogue. Pluto influences the idea of regeneration and rebirthing, which tends to be a current theme in the life of those ruled by Scorpio. Together, this abundance of male energy causes both Signs to lighten their conflicts and assist one another. The Sun is representative of life...Mars and Pluto represent ambition and the unconscious. Provided each partner here can take the time to truly understand the other on a deep level, then the romance could prove to be positive and carry high expectations. Scorpio is governed by the element of Water while Leo is governed by the element of Fire. Leo demands the freedom to mingle and Scorpio possesses a chameleon-type personality. Both Signs desire to lead, but in different ways. Much like the elements that influence them, this pair has the ability to cancel each other out and at times, this relationship may not be harmonious. However, both partners are aware that petty disputes are merely a distraction. As long as egos can be kept at bay and the union given top priority, most conflicts between these two can generally be resolved. Scorpio and Leo are both Fixed in quality. Hence, each partner here may well be rigid, opinionated and resistant to change with a tendency to be persistent when working toward personal goals. Once natives of Leo have a plan, then they will stick to it until they get what they want. Scorpio subjects are of the same mindset. This couple will share a mutual reluctance to change, each preferring a stable and steady route...but, if their ideas are dissimilar, they may find themselves in a never-ending cycle of struggles. Scorpio natives refuse to budge, believing such to be an indication of weakness. This often leads to Leo perceiving his or her Scorpio partner as being overly self-righteous. If this pair can understand that they are on the same side in the larger scheme of things, then it will be much easier for them to remain productive. Perhaps the best aspect of a Scorpio/Leo match is the shared sense of dedication each will have for the other and for the projects in which they engage. Both Signs here possess exceedingly powerful...yet strategically different...personalities. Perceived as a strong union by others, there is undoubtedly a mutual dedication to the fulfillment of personal desires.

In essence, this combination can make for a good match if there is an amicable joining of these two shining personalties. There is much in common here, particularly if the Leo individual is female and the Scorpio individual a male. Still, jealousy will play a major role in relationship conflicts and any success for happiness and longevity will depend on many factors.

Scorpio and Virgo

Natives of both Scorpio and Virgo are born critics...ready, willing and able to air their grievances against one another at a moment's notice, although neither feels particularly good when victim to the other's criticism. If the Virgo partner is the target, then he or she will undoubtedly resort to nagging. If Scorpio shouls be the target, he or she will likely withdraw and then seethe with resentment against the Virgo mate. Those governed by Scorpio tend to harbor intense likes and dislikes. Along with an essentially complex nature, Scorpio individuals are also prone to be emotionally insecure. In short, Virgo will probably find it difficult to even begin to understand his or her Scorpio partner. Those ruled by Scorpio are apt to fly into jealous rages for no apparent reason...even if Virgo has proved to be a faithful mate. In general, the views of Scorpio are not easy for a Virgo native to either comprehend or agree with. In addition, if the Scorpio partner goes to Virgo in search of sympathy and understanding, he or she is likely to become very upset when realization dawns that Virgo tends to rationalize the probability that the Scorpio individual may well have deserved whatever he or she received. In the romantic arena, Scorpio could be overly-demanding of the Virgo mate, due in part to the inherent insecurities and a need for reassurance in the relationship. Physical intimacy appears to be the sole form of relief in this union, since the Scorpio personality is not particularly skilled at self-expression. Since Virgo is basically a cool individual, such an overabundance of ardor would probably not be handled well. In essence, this union is not particularly favorable in terms of longevity but given the right circumstances, could be made to work.

The Scorpio/Virgo match is a partnership of Signs that are two apart in the Zodiac. This placement can produce an intense and loyal karmic bond with very strong ties. This is a couple that will likely stay away from crowds. They are not inclined to attend parties or dances, but alone may form an extremely fulfilling union. This pair enjoy working together toward acquisitions...but while Virgo craves order, Scorpio desires power. Both Signs are concerned with resources, including inheritances and property. Here, each individual is service-oriented and known to be a dependable soul, keen to lend a helping hand to a friend or to the community at large. However, where Scorpio is opaque and outgoing, Virgo is prone to be withdrawn. Still, due to this disparity, each partner can learn from the other...provided both can agree to meet halfway.

Scorpio is ruled by the planet Pluto together with a secondary influence afforded by Mars (the planet that ruled Scorpio prior to the discovery of Pluto) and Virgo is ruled by the planet Mercury. Courtesy of Pluto's power, this is a heated combination. These two Signs unite to form the basic foundation of human relationships...the passion inherent in Mars and the communication abilities of Mercury. Basically, Mars and Mercury are a favorable blend. Mars is associated with the passion of romance and Mars is concerned with the conscious mind. Scorpio tends to be rambunctious and intense...the type of energy to which Virgo is attracted. In turn, Scorpio needs the loyalty and practicality that is part and parcel of the Virgo character. Scorpio is governed by the element of Water while Virgo is governed by the element of Earth. Scorpio is known to be an exceedingly deep Sign. In essence, it is perceived as an ocean and too much turbulence will cause a violent storm. Natives of Scorpio are prone to hide within their shells, but when the pressure grows too intense, the result is likely to be a sudden explosion. Here, the mutual desire for emotional security will foster extreme loyalty between this pair, but while Virgo is simplistic...everything being laid bare on the surface...Scorpio is far more concerned with the undercurrents of existence. Still, Scorpio is capable of showing Virgo life beyond the literal surface and Virgo is sufficiently attentive to pick up on this hidden conversation. In addition, Virgo can teach Scorpio the facts, which are sometimes quite literal and can be dismissed at face worth. Scorpio will appreciated the Virgo practicality while Virgo will thoroughly enjoy Scorpio's devotion...it proves to the Virgo native that he or she is loved and valued. Scorpio is Fixed in quality and Virgo is Mutable in quality. Once this pair shares a common goal, very little can get in their way. Should an argument arise, then Virgo is adaptable enough to take a step backward and not allow the situation to escalate...but the Scorpio partner will often get his or her way in any event due to an inherent streak of stubborness associated with this Sign. It will be vital for each partner in this relationship to discuss what it truly important to them. In this way, they can have equal roles. Still, this match is not necessarily riddled with conflict. Both individuals would truly rather work together than engage in a fight. Perhaps the best aspect of a Scorpio/Virgo match is the ability to carry out goals when they put their minds to the task. If Scorpio can come to realize that Virgo is an asset and a leveling force in his or her life, then this union has a good chance of flourishing. Regardless, mutual determination and organization will often make for a harmonious relationship in the long run.

In essence, this could be quite a good match. The Virgo mind will undoubtedly be fascinated by the mysterious and intriguing nature of the Scorpio mate. Of all the Zodiac Signs, Scorpio is the one most likely to curb the Virgo tendency to sulk. In addition, Virgo will respect the Scorpio ability to analyze all situations and thereby sidestep controversial issues before they become grounds for an argument. However, in order to achieve longevity in this union, it will be necessary for the Virgo partner to refrain from injuring the inherent Scorpio pride.

Scorpio and Libra

The intense Scorpio avowal of love and flattery will undoubtedly be exceedingly attractive to the Libra native in the beginning of this relationship...and even the jealous possessiveness of Scorpio will initially be regarded by Libra as romantic...but it will not be long before the Libra partner starts to feel trapped and confined. Unfortunately, at the first indications of this, the Scorpio individual will only cling that much tighter, possibly resulting in the Libra native being driven into an affair with someone who does not make him or her feel restricted in any way. Scorpio natives can be of a forgiving nature but any infidelity will never be forgotten by this Sign. Thus, if the Scorpio individual does happen to take the erring Libra back after he or she has strayed, it may well only be to get revenge for the unfaithful act. Here, it is unlikely that Libra will find it easy to stand up to the forcefulness of the Scorpio partner and the Libra sense of justice is sure to be outraged by such behavior. In order to achieve any form of peace and harmony, it will be necessary for the Libra partner to be more considerate of Scorpio's feelings and recognize the deep love that Scorpio may have for him or her. On the other hand, the Scorpio partner must try to keep an open mind and not be so restrictive in his or her attitudes toward Libra. In addition, the Scorpio mate will have to handle all the couple's finances since Libra sees little sense in budgets and refuses to waste time in worrying over paying the bills. While both individuals here are endowed with a healthy appetite in the romantic arena, Scorpio tends to be all passion and somewhat animalistic in the approach to satisfaction. Alternatively, Libra requires mental stimulation and much excitement if one partner is to satisfy for any length of time. The needs of Libra natives are triggered by the frame of mind and it will be the responsibility of the Scorpio partner to provide this stimulus in the form of books, films, etc., and to use it accordingly. Perhaps the best description of the Scorpio/Libra relationship would fall into the love/hate category.

The Scorpio/Libra match can be a very emotionally connected and mutually satisfying union. Although Scorpio is a brooder who can become lost in the confusing welter of his or her emotions, the Libra proclivity for balance and harmony can help to keep Scorpio on an even keel. In return, Scorpio is capable of providing Libra with his or her characteristic powers of focus...a trait that natives of Libra customarily lack. This pair are compatible courtesy of their similar needs in a love relationship. Libra is concerned with partnership and is happiest when in a well-balanced and intimate union. Scorpio thrives on emotional and physical intimacy with a mate. Thus, the combination here can make for a very loyal, close and satisfying partnership. These two would be well advised to undertake some type of project together aside from their romance and there is great potential here to get things accomplished. They combine the power of emotion with the power of intellect...an extremely formidable pairing. Natives of Scorpio tend to be more patient, but also more controlling, than those of Libra. Still, despite any differences, both partners love to take risks and chances. In short, this will never be a boring relationship. Subjects of both Signs tend to be real charmers...they know how to woo and seduce, and take great pleasure in doing so. However, the varying styles...Scorpio being intense and secretive while Libra is upfront and open...sometimes result in each having trouble understanding the other. Hence, there needs to be close attention to communication from both sides.

Scorpio is ruled by the planet Pluto, indicative of power, with a secondary influence courtesy of Mars (the planet that ruled Scorpio prior to the discovery of Pluto) and Libra is ruled by the planet Venus. Libra's love of beauty and romance balances the strife that can arise in Scorpio's life due to the deep and often tangled emotions associated with that Sign. But at least Mars, representative of passion, promises an active and exciting relationship. Neither partner here is fond of arguments. Scorpio tends to avoid conflict in favor of secret revenge and Libra abhors confrontation, doing anything possible to avoid it...which includes backing down and seeking a truce. Scorpio is governed by the element of Water while Libra is governed by the element of Air. The best decisions are usually made by combining the emotions and the intellect...using both the heart and the head. Thus, this couple can meet almost any challenge and understand virtually any puzzle. Of course, this is all contingent upon the two Signs working together and not against one another. Natives of Scorpio are master strategists and can help those ruled by Libra to focus their occasionally scattered or indecisive minds. However, at times, Scorpio's over-emotionalism can drag down and dishearten the Libra partner...and Libra can sometimes make the Scorpio partner feel flustered and uncomfortably stirred-up. It will be during times such as these that the natural diplomacy of Libra will come in most handy. Scorpio is Fixed in quality and Libra is Cardinal in quality. Consequently, Libra is always thinking of something new to try...a new restaurant or art gallery to visit, for example, or a new location for a trip. However, it will be the Scorpio mate who possesses the determination to follow through on these ideas. Together, this couple has the capability of being the most loyal and devoted of partners, as these qualities are quite important to both. Perhaps the best aspect of a Scorpio/Libra match is the power they find in unity. These two can accomplish much, whether they come together for a cause in the business arena or romantic sphere. Here, both partners are winners and neither is willing to give up without a fight. Thus, this is a relationship that takes care of business.

In essence, this is a good combination. There is much sympathetic magnetism between an individual governed by Scorpio and one ruled by Libra. There is little doubt that Scorpio will be the dominant partner, but the beauty and sense of fair play provided by Libra will certainly appeal to Scorpio's excellent judgment. Libra is sentimental and susceptible as a mate, which also serves to appeal to the Scorpio urges of dominance and possession. However, in order to achieve longevity, it will be vital for the Libra partner to avoid hurting the pride of the Scorpio native.

Scorpio and Scorpio

Although natives of Scorpio possess many good traits, they also have some faults that are prone to be extreme in nature and these faults are very likely to cause those involved in a Scorpio/Scorpio relationship to turn on one another. Initially, there will probably be a wild infatuation here, but it is one that could easily develop very quickly into a deepening love. Typically, individuals ruled by this Sign fall victim to violent likes and dislikes and if these are not shared, or fail to be exactly in tune, then neither partner will budge or compromise to restore the peace. Each share traits of suspicion and jealousy which is deeply ingrained in the Scorpio character...although loyalty to one another may well act as a check on these emotions. The male counterpart of this relationship will insist upon being the bread-winner and the guiding light of the union and if challenged by the female counterpart, will doubtless display aggressive behavior...this is when the fighting is sure to being. Any argument could be sufficiently strong to degenerate into an actual physical altercation. Too much of such friction could easily cause both partners to seek solace in alcohol or turn to some other form of addiction. Still, there is no doubting the shared passions of this couple and the fires of desire will always burn brightly...possibly the sole saving grace that will keep the relationship on a somewhat sane level. While understanding each other rather well, this pair will continue to fight since what one hates in the other is exactly the same aspect that is truly being battled on a personal basis. In short, this can prove to be a nerve-wracking union for both parties.

The Scorpio/Scorpio love match is usually best described as a fierce tempest of intense passion. Each will be totally obsessed with the other, both moving forward in terms of romantic love and physical encounters at an accelerated...perhaps even foolish...way. Here, personal relations are essentially steamy in nature but to the equal and opposite extreme, disputes are also just as likely to be frenetically powerful. This is a match that could easily go in either direction...the most wonderful experience the world has to offer or utter destruction of both partners. Yet, this is a merger that can bring out the very best in both mates. Each will undoubtedly utilize their intense emotional and intuitive instincts to love one another with an undeniable depth, and it may well be that resolve and passion will keep this pair together. Under such circumstances, even the most powerful and threatening external forces will have a difficult task intruding on the happiness of a truly committed Scorpio couple. In short, if this pair can wrangle their ardent energies, the result is likely to be a fine display of fireworks.

Scorpio is ruled by the planet Pluto, together with a secondary influence afforded by Mars (the planet that ruled Scorpio prior to the discovery of Pluto). Mars is the ancient Roman God of War, constantly charging forward with passion, aggression and courage. Pluto is considered to be the higher octave of Mars, controlling the power, destruction and rebirthing elements of the Scorpio/Scorpio pairing. Together, Pluto and Mars allow natives governed by this Sign to bounce back, time and time again, after disappointments or tragic losses. Fortunately for Scorpio, intense passions inflate the importance and loss of everything. Scorpio is governed by the element of Water. Hence, the first instinct of those who fall under its jurisdiction is to respond deeply, passionately and fervently. In addition, if these individuals decide to express themselves, it is never undertaken half-heartedly. Scorpio natives should commit themselves to the goal of taming the vengeful or vindictive side of their intuitive personalities, learning how to celebrate the extreme "ups" and to rapidly forget the "downs." It is of profound importance that the Scorpio individual let go and tell his or her partner what is wanted, felt and needed. Here, pent-up emotions can become toxic, frustrating the one feeling them and confusing the one who is wondering about them. Since both persons are so devoted, jealousy may become an issue. It will take strength and bravery to overcome such a hurdle. Scorpio is Fixed in quality. A shortage of ideas is never a problem with this couple. They like to stay active and will accomplish much together. There is a shared knack for investments and risks...provided such risks are calculated ones. This is a pair who will thoroughly research and investigate an idea if such is what is required...and once a Scorpio partnership has set is eyes on the prize, then it is essentially a "done deal." Perhaps the best aspect of a Scorpio/Scorpio match is the intensity of love that this couple can feel. Both are goal-oriented and their shared power makes for an incomparable and unconquerable duo. If each can achieve a state of utter devotion, then this is a relationship that could endure for a very long time.

In essence, this is generally perceived as a rather odd match. The dominant, possessive and jealous temperament of each partner is something that will need to be handled with extreme caution by both individuals. The intensity of the physically romantic nature here can result in each mate getting exactly what he or she desires in the other, but if one should suddenly become inconsiderate of the other's tender spots, then conflicts will most assuredly erupt.

Scorpio and Sagittarius

These two individuals are so drastically dissimilar that it can only be wondered what could have ever been the attraction for either in the first place. If strictly physical, then the relationship is destined to be very short-lived. A major aspect of the Scorpio character embraces the need to possess ones who are loved and to manipulate such loved ones in any way the Scorpio native happens to deem appropriate. This type of behavior will never sit well with the freedom-loving and independent Sagittarius subject, who utterly refuses to be tied down or restricted in any manner. Thus, any attempts of the Scorpio partner in this direction are sure to be wasted on the Sagittarius personality. In any event, it is virtually impossible for one person alone to tame the individual governed by Sagittarius, since he or she will pursue excitement, adventure and romantic liaisons with equal abandon. Therefore, the Scorpio mate would be obliged to handle all the finances and the risks that the Sagittarius partner is sure to take on an almost daily basis would soon turn Scorpio into a nervous wreck. Indeed, those ruled by Sagittarius are simply unable to be reasonable or serious for very long, no matter how hard any partner might persuade them to try, and Scorpio is no exception. In addition, if the Sagittarius mate happens to get the impression...rightly or wrongly...that he or she is thought of as the exclusive property of Scorpio (particularly in terms of physical intimacy), then a parting of the ways is sure to follow in exceedingly short order. Basically, this pairing is rarely considered to make for a promising alliance.

If the Scorpio/Sagittarius match is to be given any chance at all, then both individuals will need to slow down and take the time to get to know each other on a more deep and significant level. Not to do so is to run the risk of the union getting way ahead of itself. Indeed, this is a pairing that could very easily be over and done with before either partner even realizes anything has started. Here, patience will be richly rewarded. Sagittarius thrives on change, relishing all that is new and exciting. Natives of this Sign also cherish the power of positive thinking. Alternatively, Scorpio simply desires to get closer and strengthen emotional ties. In the early days of this alliance, the Sagittarius partner may well feel hemmed-in by Scorpio's rapt attentions and high expectations for love. Still, if the Scorpio mate can control his or her inherent emotions, this pair could be on the road to much satisfaction and excitement. Here, both individuals perceive each day as a new adventure...or, in the case of Scorpio, a compelling mystery...and as an endless opportunity to explore, probe and learn. Shared escapades will undoubtedly bring this couple closer together. While the Sagittarius mate may become irritated with the inherent Scorpio stubborn streak and tendency to be inflexible, the Scorpio partner could be thinking that Sagittarius is maybe just a little too hot-headed. Nevertheless, these two will enjoy learning together and travel could prove to be very beneficial to this relationship.

Scorpio is ruled by the planet Pluto, together with a secondary influence afforded by Mars (the planet that ruled Scorpio prior to the discovery of Pluto), and Sagittarius is ruled by the planet Jupiter. Mars is the ancient Roman God of War and opens the door for Scorpio's determined and courageous character. When combined with Pluto, these two planets which govern Scorpio are representative of of rebirth and renewal. The focus of Jupiter is upon philosophy, higher learning, expansion, optimism, luck and travel. These planetary attributes...growth, expansion and masculine energy...combine to create a sustainable relationship of mutual admiration. Scorpio is governed by the element of Water while Sagittarius is governed by the element of Fire. Thus, Sagittarius will always be the more spontaneous of the two, subject to the whim of any given moment and taking off in any direction at the proverbial "drop of a hat." The motives of Scorpio are more subdued and less easy to decipher. However, even if this couple should run into misunderstandings or misinterpretations of each other's motivations, it is not beyond the realm of possibility to avert a crisis. If this pair can agree that their relationship is significant, then their mutual devotion and affection may sustain for some length of time. Scorpio is Fixed in quality and Sagittarius is Mutable in quality. Both partners here are able to multi-task like true professionals, keeping each other's interests at heart, as well as juggling birthdays and special events with family obligations. However, it truly takes the follow-through of the Scorpio mate to get anything finished and accomplished. Since it is inherent in the Sagittarius character to indulge in his or her urge to "jump around" from project to project, the "stick-to-it" aspect of the Scorpio personality will undoubtedly prove to be invaluable for this couple. Luckily for Scorpio, the Sagittarius individual will notice all the hard work undertaken by Scorpio and will certainly be openly appreciative when it is perceived that such is needed. Still, Scorpio can be stubborn, exacting and demanding. Therefore, it will be necessary for the Scorpio partner to afford Sagittarius space and the time for personal interests, both of which are so important to those governed by Sagittarius. Scorpio is capable of leading the ideas of Sagittarius through to fruition, even if the Sagittarius partner has since lost interest and moved on. Regardless, those ruled by Sagittarius often display a true knack for flexibility...a positive quality that can sometimes win out over resolute determination. Perhaps the best aspect of a Scorpio/Sagittarius match is the security and flexibility they can provide to one another. If this couple can be open with each other, appreciating the different philosophies in love and in life associated with each Sign, then they may have the potential for a rather passionate relationship, accompanied by a deep connection and heartfelt respect. The key here will be communication and a celebration of differences.

In essence, this could hardly be described as the best of matches. By nature, Scorpio is dominant and will undoubtedly experience much trouble in keeping the Sagittarius partner under control. In addition, the freedom-loving Sagittarius mate is sure to bring out the very worse in the Scorpio character. However, the most negative aspect of this pairing is probably the Scorpio possessiveness...something that will make life well-nigh unbearable for the Sagittarius mate.

Scorpio and Capricorn

The inherent Scorpio desire for peace and quiet may well be the catalyst that initially forms the attraction for this couple, and the Capricorn partner will undoubtedly be drawn to what he or she believes to be a relatively uncomplicated person. However, when the true Scorpio nature begins to surface, Capricorn will find the strength of such emotions to be staggering. In addition, when the Scorpio mate discovers that the main focus of the individual ruled by Capricorn centers around career concerns, then Scorpio is sure to become jealous and demanding...and in a very grand way. Here, financial security takes top priority in both lives, so this will rarely turn into a bone of contention for this pair. An agreement can be reached on a stable homelife and financial matters, but there is little else to serve as a foundation for this relationship, chiefly because the personalities here are far too widely diverse to support a long term committment. Should the Scorpio individual attempt to force personal views on Capricorn...or try any of the other controlling ploys that this Sign is so capable of instigating...it will soon become evident that Capricorn is well equipped to see through such efforts at manipulation. This will undoubtedly result in a fine show of Capricorn anger. In short, these two are unlikely to achieve a nice quiet life together. In the area or physical intimacy, the Scorpio partner will be the more active and may possibly feel that Capricorn is not being true when he or she persists in bringing work into the romantic scenario, or begs off with a headache. Essentially, this is not usually considered to be a well aspected union.

The Scorpio/Capricorn match can provide an opportunity for two individuals to enjoy a loving relationship and learn the value of being a pair. In the process, this couple will also grow and mature as individuals. At first, they may be wary about sharing themselves with each other and such emotional caution may dampen the initial impact of the partnership. Capricorn is prone to be somewhat cautious and Scorpio tends to be rather pensive. Therefore, it could take a while for each partner to feel comfortable with a significant other. Though both are shy of getting involved and not necessarily the quickest souls to trust and share, this pair may discover that they can establish a rather profound connection based on friendship and deep loyalty. There is much to be learned when these two Signs come together and the lessons, while difficult to endure at times, are worth the trouble they might cause. From a stable and capable Capricorn mate, Scorpio can learn how to bring his or her overheated emotions under control. Still, the Capricorn partner must be careful not to appear too emotionally shallow when leveling any criticism on the sensitive Scorpio individual, who craves depth, intense feeling and the utmost sincerity in all situations...and most particuarly when it comes to love. The Capricorn character is so busy with achieving and concerned with how he or she is perceived by others, that there may be failure to take a chance with personal emotions. From the Scorpio partner, Capricorn will learn the value of looking below the surface of things, relishing the rich pleasure that can come from deeply knowing another person. Here, both Signs share a love of committment to a given task and so, if they do decide that a union is their next goal for attainment, there may be no stopping them.

Scorpio is ruled by the planet Pluto, together with a secondary influence afforded by Mars (the planet that ruled Scorpio prior to the discovery of Pluto), and Capricorn is ruled by the planet Saturn. The integration of Pluto and Mars represent aggression, courage, sexual energy, rebirth and renewal. Saturn is credited with teaching the great lessons of life...hard work, diligence, ambition and responsibility. These three planets can combine within the Signs to form an industrious union, one which is bound by Scorpio's fierce emotion and Capricorn's ambitious actions. In terms of business affairs, this will make for a dynamic team, but such achieving energy could translate well to affection and love if all other circumstances are favorable. Scorpio is governed by the element of Water while Capricorn is governed by the element of Earth. All Signs ruled by Earth are concerned with practical matters and material possessions. This does make a good balance for those Signs who fall under the jurisdiction of Water, whose subjects are prone to mold to the shape of a current situation and often respond with emotion rather than logic. Scorpio is Fixed in quality and Capricorn is Cardinal in quality. Natives of Capricorn may not seem to be the most romantic of the Zodiac, but their business and planning expertise could certainly be put to good use in devising elegant and well-planned nights of romance. Should the Capricorn partner show such initiative, then Scorpio will follow along with much enthusiasm, excitedly...if not a little smugly...throwing his or her own ideas into the mix. Indeed, the Scorpio mate will be capable of tossing out some barbed comment under the breath in such a seductive tone, that Capricorn might not even notice. However, any Capricorn would be well-advised to listen closely for subtle shades and nuances in the voice of the Scorpio partner, as well as paying special attention to body language. Here, both Signs can be stubborn and this could easily lead to conflict. Also, Scorpio has a tendency to fall hard, becoming involved on an emotional level almost to the point of no return...a stark contrast to the sometimes distant Capricorn individual. This needs to be recognized and accepted by both partners if the relationship is to achieve any form of longevity and success. Perhaps the best aspect of a Scorpio/Capricorn match is the determination toward shared ideas and the strong devotion each will have to the other. This pair can open the doors to one another's souls, with each showing new ways of perceiving and feeling.

In essence, this will never be an easy match. The strong and powerful personality of Scorpio is sure to clash with Capricorn, fighting for the last word when it comes to important decisions related to household welfare. Those governed by Capricorn can be incredibly disagreeable when frustrated and the Scorpio individual will have to utilize that infamous "sting" to move his or her Capricorn partner from a set course. Basically, the emotional incompatiblity here usually becomes well nigh unbearable for the relationship to handle or achieve much in the way of longevity.

Scorpio and Aquarius

In this partnership, the highly emotional Scorpio mate will want to reserve, as his or her exclusive property, the individual ruled by Aquarius. However, when this fails to appeal to the Aquarius native, anger and jealous scenes are certain to ensue. Since Aquarius harbors a strong dislike for such situations and refuses to engage in fighting, then he or she is likely to believe that the Scorpio partner is, at the very least, somewhat deranged in mentality. Thus, Aquarius may begin to wonder exactly why he or she engaged in the relationship to begin with. The native of Scorpio will probably be slightly mollified when he or she realizes that Aquarius regards Scorpio as a friend as well as a mate, but if this couple is to achieve longevity at all, then it will have to be on this basis. Unless a working friendship filled with consideration for each individual is established from the outset, the Scorpio partner will most assuredly look elsewhere for a mate. The libido of Scorpio far surpasses that of Aquarius and the demands here will be many. If these demands are not met...as well they probably might not be...then there are likely to be many occasions when the Scorpio partner experiences feelings of being unloved and neglected. On the other hand, Aquarius will be so busy thinking about other people and their problems, that he or she may totally miss the trouble brewing at home. In short, this is generally considered a union that should be avoided.

The Scorpio/Aquarius match is a fusion of two very different life philosophies and many exceedingly different needs. Essentially, there is much chance for friction here. While Scorpio faces his or her inner emotional world directly and with an intense energy, thinking deeply about the more hidden undercurrents of life, natives of Aquarius take that same type of energy and turn it outward. With an unusual, idealistic and above all, very social outlook on life, those ruled by Aquarius would seem to be rather odd romantic choices for the more introverted Scorpio individual. Aquarius needs a crowd in order to feel stimulated and its subjects are constantly looking around the room for the next interesting person to get to know. Conversely, those governed by Scorpio desire engaging, probing and indulging in a most intimate time with their mates. Thus, it would appear that these two have very little in common, but they do both possess such strong wills that, when focused on their relationship, can get them exactly what they need and want. Here, both Signs can be uncooperative and opinionated...liking things to go their own way with no questions asked. Still, such individual ways are extremely dissimilar. Natives of Scorpio tend to be inquisitive, burrowing deep into the hidden meanings of things, always asking questions and desirious of knowing where things are going and why. Those ruled by Aquarius are progressive, affable souls who do not particularly enjoy details. Still, Scorpio may well be enticed by these very differences, especially if the Aquarius partner reveals exterior new worlds to be examined. Nevertheless, frustration is almost sure to be the end result when the eccentric enigma that is Aquarius fails to provide adequate answers to Scorpio's many questions. Additionally, natives of Aquarius do not welcome possessiveness, preferring to belong to the world rather than one single person. Due to the fact that Scorpio is almost always fiercely possessive, he or she may require more attention than Aquarius is capable of giving. Yet, if Aquarius is able to slow down and pay attention, he or she may find the devotion provided by the Scorpio partner to be immensely supportive.

Scorpio is ruled by the planet Pluto, together with a secondary influence afforded by Mars (the planet that ruled Scorpio prior to the discovery of Pluto), and Aquarius is ruled by the planet Uranus, together with a secondary influence afforded by Saturn (the planet that ruled Aquarius prior to the discovery of Uranus). Mars is representative of a revolutionary, aggressive and spirited energy, considered to be masculine in nature, while Pluto enlightens these impulses and adds a rebirthing, cyclical quality. Uranus is concerned with all things that are different and unusual, while Saturn is a cool and contained type of energy. Mars is considered emotional, reacting without thinking things through...such is the nature of Scorpio. The Saturn aspect of Aquarius demands much hard work and discipline, while Uranus provides a forward-thinking mind. Thus, the Scorpio sweetheart who is gentle and careful not to tether his or her Aquarius partner too tightly, can teach the Aquarius mate about a life based on emotional intuition...one that quiets the intellect sometimes in favor of physical sensation. Understanding the character of Aquarius can teach the more serious Scorpio individual to calm down and detach from uncontrollable situations, and to reevaluate goals if there should be a tendency to veer off-course. Scorpio is governed by the element of Water while Aquarius is governed by the element of Air. Since Air is concerned with intellect, those who fall under its jurisdiction tackle life as one chance after another to grow and explore. However, Scorpio individuals are more analytical, searching for purpose while Aquarius seeks stimulation. Accordingly, each partner in this pairing may have trouble understanding the other's origin of thought. Confrontations are prone to arise as Scorpio's possessiveness gets the better of him or her, or if Aquarius appears too cool and flippant, denying the Scorpio mate much-needed emotional reassurance. Here, both will need to learn that they view the world in different ways, and that they should celebrate such and find humor in their differences. Scorpio and Aquarius are both Fixed in quality. Thus, this couple can be equally unyielding, dogmatic and persevering. If they have a plan, then they will adhere to it until their efforts are rewarded. Once they have made up their minds they are good for each other, then these two will never be discouraged from maintaining the relationship. Still, they do have such contradictory approaches to life in general that over time, the union may grow to be far more difficult than it is pleasurable. At the end of the day, if each partner believes in the value of the relationship, then together, each will likely be able to overcome the differences. Perhaps the best aspect of a Scorpio/Aquarius match is the shared capacity for success in their synergy. Here, both Signs possess very powerful personalities, so it is unlikely one will openly dominate the other. Provided this pair can appreciate their differences, come together and agree on their individual roles within the relationship, then the results could be most gratifying for both partners.

In essence, this may prove to be a difficult combination for either partner to cope with. The unpredictable Aquarius will likely be too much for the Scorpio temperament, and the many outside interests of the Aquarius individual will assuredly not sit well with the nature of Scorpio. Additionally, it is inherent in the Aquarius character to be reserved...undoubtedly a little too much so for the more passionate Scorpio subject. Scorpio wants to possess the person. Aquarius wants to possess the world. Therefore, lacking mature attitude adjustment, it will not be easy for this union to achieve longevity.

Scorpio and Pisces

The inherent flair for drama found in both these Signs could make for an extremely successful union as neither partner is consumed by...or ruled by...common sense. Here, all actions by both individuals are motivated by the intense emotional state each seems to maintain on a perpetual basis. The adept manner of Scorpio for probing a partner could enable the intricacies of Pisces' secretive nature to be better understood by this Sign than any other found in the Zodiac. Eventually, it is likely that Scorpio will come to comprehend that applying pressure to a native of Pisces will not achieve the desired effect, whereas the art of persuasion may bring positive results. It is likely that the Scorpio mate here will occasionally consider Pisces to be weak, since those ruled by Pisces are much less positive than those governed by Scorpio...to say nothing of being much more secretive and evasive at times. The popularity of a Pisces partner may also make Scorpio jealous and resentful, since natives of Scorpio are unable to be as effortlessly charming as Pisces in social situations. Should the faults of a Pisces mate happen to be pointed out too frequently, then this may lead to some episodes of dark depression...and the Scorpio individual will need to control the critical nature that constantly lurks just below the surface of this Sign. Scorpio will also be obliged to manage all this couple's finances because the dreamy Pisces most definitely has a problem with looking at life from a realistic viewpoint. Here, emotions are allowed to be dramatized and used in the romantic arena to heighten physical intimacy. The loving attention bestowed by Pisces on Scorpio is likely to calm the jealous nature of the Scorpio subject and make for a very happy combination. In short, this is a highly recommended relationship.

The Scorpio/Pisces match can result in a splendid union of much mutual respect and understanding. Since both partners share the same element (that being Water), each possesses a keen insight into the heart and mind of the other. Natives of Scorpio are very profound and covert, often caught up in their own secret plans. Those ruled by Pisces are idealistic, searching for the nuances in any given situation. However, Pisces also has a tendency to dwell within the mind and finds it easy to forgive Scorpio for being mysterious and/or withdrawn at times. Both of these Signs are intuitive and in touch with the subtleties of human interaction. The Scorpio partner can help Pisces to fulfill dreams and ambitions...to turn notions into reality. He or she will also provide a steadfast foundation around which the relationship can revolve. The more ephemeral and intuitive Pisces mate cannot help but become entangled in the skillful web that Scorpio weaves. In return, Pisces will offer gentleness, kindess and sympathy, all of which the Scorpio native admires and greatly appreciates. Those ruled by Scorpio are interested in certain material comforts and intense emotional dramas. Indeed, there will almost surely be times when they will simply fail to understand the simplistic and charitable attitude of Pisces. In addition, the long-term aspirations of this pair may well be totally unalike. Nevertheless, once these differences can be understood and overcome, this will be an exceedingly rewarding and long-lasting union.

Scorpio is ruled by the planet Pluto, together with a secondary influence afforded by Mars (the planet that ruled Scorpio prior to the discovery of Pluto), and Pisces is ruled by the planet Neptune, together with a secondary influence afforded by Jupiter (the planet that ruled Pisces prior to the discovery of Neptune). Mars is the ancient Roman God of War and natives of Scorpio are living testaments to this aggressive, courageous, daring and oftentimes belligerent influence. When combined with Mars, Pluto comes to symbolize new beginnings. Those who fall under the jurisdiction of Scorpio can "take it," but can almost certainly also "dish it out." Jupiter's role in the representation of Pisces is symbolic of philosophy, expansion and excesses. The influence of Neptune provides those ruled by Pisces an aura of dreaminess, together with a love for popular culture and media. The ethereal energy of Pisces serves to soften the rough edges of a Scorpio partner's love and the composite power of all four planets creates a balanced relationship...a true celestial bond of drama and emotional intrigue. Still, it will be necessary for the Scorpio mate to allow his or her Pisces sweetheart to be given a little space and freedom, since sensitive Pisces is prone to suffocate beneath the pressure of too many demands. Both Scorpio and Cancer are governed by the element of Water and are so compatible because Water is a tangible and physical entity. This is something that each Sign here appreciates and uses to the utmost advantage. The destiny of a Pisces individual is to bring people together and when this energy fuses with the intensity and tenacity of a Scorpio subject, there is no stronger bond. Plus, Scorpio harbors an absolutist view of life, in that everything is either golden or tarnished. The patient Pisces partner will open up the world to his or her Scorpio mate, allowing that mate to see the "bigger picture" rather than nothing more that just the minute details. It is possible that Scorpio may grow weary of the unsteadiness often associated with Pisces...and Pisces may perceive Scorpio as being self-absorbed and insensitive to emotional needs...but it is not beyond this pair to seek out and easily find a mutually satisfying compromise. Scorpio is Fixed in quality and Pisces is Mutable in quality. Natives of Scorpio concentrate their energies into one thing at a time, but individuals ruled by Pisces tend to "skip around" to wherever their feelings take them. Being a Mutable Water Sign, Pisces molds easily into the life and pastimes of his or her Scorpio sweetheart. In return, Scorpio provides Pisces with the freedom to enjoy personal interests. Pisces is able to show Scorpio that flexibility can be fun and exciting...that compromise can often be reached without the necessity for a huge fight or struggle. Scorpio and Pisces feed well off each other's energies, making for a powerful and emotionally satisfying union. Perhaps the best aspect of a Scorpio/Pisces match is the similarly intense emotional natures, the shared sensitivity to the undercurrents of life and the more ethereal magic of romance. Bascially, this is a relationship of harmony and fulfillment. Both Signs here live empathetically and seek profound commitments that will remain true to the heart, mind and soul. A connection such as this will keep the ties strong and the love enduring.

In essence, these two make a good match although on occasion, the positive qualities of Pisces may not be appreciated by the Scorpio partner, who feels that posessiveness is his or her own sacred domain. Plus, the weaker Pisces individual will always have the sympathies of Scorpio, but respect may sometimes suffer in the process. Still, there is an intuitive bond between these two, together with a mutual attraction, to say nothing shared emotions and feelings. There is much promise here for the longevity of a relationship, but both partners will need to see clearly and realistically every once in a while.

Ideal Partner

Natives of Scorpio are probably most in tune with those governed by Cancer, since Scorpio is equal to the moods of Cancer and capable of great understanding. Cancer finds the Scorpio depth of character intriguing and will certainly appreciate the rich view of life inherent in the Scorpio nature, to say nothing of the awareness and perception associated with that Sign. This is a couple who will likely provide everything either has ever wanted in a relationship. The physical chemistry here is quite amazing...it is long-lasting and only gets better with the passage of time. For the Scorpio male, a partnership with an individual governed by Cancer is one that is magnificent in every respect and the passionate Scorpio nature will certainly draw out the sexy character hiding beneath Cancer's goody-goody exterior. Scorpio can also be trusted not to have a wandering eye. Once the mind of a Scorpio man is made up, he abides by his decision. Additionally, Cancer has the ability to make the Scorpio male feel very secure because of the loving and loyal nature inherent in this Sign. In short, this pairing can spark an intense and very intimate union. The only problem that could occur is one of possessiveness. A relationship is meant to be a shared experience...not one where ownership or domination takes control. If this can be learned by both the Scorpio man and his Cancer mate, then there are likely to be nothing but good times ahead. For the Scorpio female, a partnership with an individual governed by Cancer is one where the Cancer partner can be utterly devoted to making the Scorpio woman feel special. Those ruled by Cancer possess emotional staying power and can easily satisfy the Scorpio female's need for security. Thus, the woman ruled by Scorpio can relax in Cancer's company and truly enjoy being taken care of. This is a match where both partners feel treasured. The initial reaction between a Scorpio female and her Cancer mate will certainly be electric and fired by deep emotions. Mood is generally the order of the day when these two Signs get together. Each can inspire the other to wonderful heights...provided neither allows negativity or possessiveness to enter the picture.

Pisces, another Sign ruled by the element of Water, would also be favorable. With its tendency toward dreaminess...but with an inborn sense of the ridiculous...Pisces has the capability to soothe and calm the Scorpio nature. For the Scorpio male, a partnership with an individual governed by Pisces results in a physical chemistry that can easily be said to "sizzle." This couple will also share a very special and intimate bond. In short, the Scorpio man will connect with his Pisces mate in a way that few other combinations of Signs are able to do. It is akin to an unspoken thing where each feels what the other is feeling...and each knows what the other is thinking with no need for words or explanation. This is a romantic and passionate union, where the strong and loyal nature of the Scorpio man provides the security and groundedness needed by the native of Pisces. There is enormous potential here for longevity and this pair will feel at home in each other's presence. However, on the negative side, these two can be a little possessive of each other and may harbor unrealistic expectations. It will be necessary to remember that no couple can agree on everything and differences need to be treated with respect. For the Scorpio female, a partnership with an individual governed by Pisces will undoubtedly be intense, intimate and magical. In short, this pair is naturally drawn to each other and the shared level of emotional needs is nothing short of complementary perfection. The Scorpio woman feels very deeply about things and Pisces will understand this...feeling exactly the same way. Natives of Pisces are true dreamers...unique persons with an enchanting way of looking at the world, which inspires and excites the Scorpio female. The Pisces mate will be true, loyal and passionate about the Scorpio woman, who will feel happy and "at home" with such a scenario. There is a special closeness here that is truly rare. In addition, the Pisces partner will regard the Scorpio female in an almost awe-inspiring light and be fascinated by her mannerisms...rather like a moth is drawn to a flame. In short, Pisces will simply never be able to get enough of the Scorpio woman's drama and mystery...although there is likely to be the occasional lack of follow-through on the part of the Pisces mate.
