You are both willful and passionate people, with a strong
desire to live intensely and directly, and you love this about
each other. There is a lot of fire in your relationship and
you are likely to fight ferociously sometimes. ARIES, however,
can release anger and emotions and then forget about it, while
SCORPIO nurses grudges and resentments, and may hold on to
the wounds that ARIES unthinkingly inflicts.
Also, SCORPIO needs to feel intensely bonded emotionally,
and ARIES may not have the same overwhelming need for closeness.
There is a strong magnetic attraction between the two of
you and even if you have little in common intellectually or
spiritually, your physical relationship is likely to be very
intense, binding you together. If you do have common interests
and resonate on an intellectual level as well, you will be
unable to stay away from each other! You are both very possessive,
and SCORPIO especially is prone to jealousy.
There are significant differences in your emotional makeup,
however: TAURUS is steadier, simpler, less complex, and less
needy than SCORPIO is. SCORPIO demands more in terms of emotional
involvement and depth of intimacy than TAURUS.
You are both extremely stubborn, strong-willed people and
you both need to learn to bend and compromise more graciously
in order to harmonize with one another. Neither of you is
especially articulate or communicative about the things that
matter most to you, and much misunderstanding can result.
You two are very different! SCORPIO becomes intensely involved
emotionally to particular people and places. SCORPIO bonds
deeply and becomes very attached to close people and especially
to a lover. GEMINI, by contrast, takes life in a lighter vein
and usually does not become as emotionally involved and attached
to things as SCORPIO. SCORPIO may feel that GEMINI is superficial,
evasive, childish, and not serious enough, while GEMINI may
feel that SCORPIO is too heavy, intense, demanding, and insatiable.
SCORPIO thrives on intensive, direct experiences and is best
suited to a life style that involves direct, non-vicarious,
non-intellectual activities of forceful, instinctive, or natural
kind, preferably using one's hands (examples: surgery, deep
sea diving, most competitive athletic sports, sex, pottery,
etc.) while GEMINI's approach is more cerebral, less focused
and intensive, and more varied. The disparity between your
two approaches to life is great and you need to strive to
make your differences complement each other rather than interfere
with each other. The truth is you are probably attracted to
the very same qualities that make you so different.
It is so very easy to attach yourselves to each other! Because
each of you possesses a powerful feeling nature and a tendency
to bond intensely with important people in your lives, you
sense in each other a basic similarity in temperaments and
goals. There are differences, of course, in your natures,
but this overall similarity can strengthen the bond between
you. CANCER often feels more compassion and sympathy for others,
while SCORPIO may view CANCER's feelings as sentimentality.
When wounded, SCORPIO sometimes tends towards being resentful.
CANCER, on the other hand, is more apt to sulk or withdraw
when hurt, and usually lets the other person know (generally
in a nonverbal manner!) about it. SCORPIO, by contrast, hides
hurt more readily.
You may also have different attitudes towards sexuality versus
love. For example, CANCER may feel that SCORPIO is sometimes
more driven by instinct and lust than by love, and this may
become an issue in your relationship. Overall, though, the
intense bonding and emotionality of your relationship fosters
a deep, lasting attachment between you. Intimacy is likely
to come more easily to you as a couple than it does for others,
and loyalty is important to you both.
Both of you are very proud, stubborn, strong-willed individuals
and you are attracted to the strength of character that you
sense in each other. There is a feeling of conquest between
you that may serve to intensify the excitement of your attraction
to each other. However, your strong wills may also prove to
be a problem in a long-term relationship. You face the possibility
that your combined inflexibility will make it difficult for
the two of you to reach mutually satisfying decisions and
both of you tend to stubbornly resist compromising when your
preferences are different. A battle of wills is likely to
ensue!
Another potential problem is jealousy or lop-sided bonding.
SCORPIO bonds very intensely in romantic relationships and
is inclined towards monogamy. LEO is also very loyal, but
not nearly as intense, emotional, or obsessive as SCORPIO
is.
Your essential natures are compatible, as both of you share
a certain level of practicality, the need to analyze and dissect
people and life, and a rather introspective approach to life's
challenges. There are times, however, when SCORPIO strides
fearlessly into a challenging situation, and VIRGO feels much
more cautious and careful. SCORPIO may consider VIRGO to be
too timid, and VIRGO may feel that SCORPIO lacks prudence.
There are also many situations where SCORPIO is more stubborn
and persevering than VIRGO. SCORPIO may view VIRGO's lack
of commitment and dedication to a single purpose to be a sign
of weakness. There is also the possibility that VIRGO will
view SCORPIO as being a bit crude, too passionate or emotionally
attached to certain situations or ideas. VIRGO has refined
sensitivities and sometimes literally doesn't like to get
"dirty hands", while SCORPIO is more primitive,
raw, and unsqueamish. You both need to strive to harmonize
your different natures and not antagonize each other, but
the chances of doing so are very high, as you both sense in
one another a generally compatible attitude towards life.
In many situations, SCORPIO will respond with greater emotional
intensity than LIBRA. While LIBRA is not a cool and aloof
individual, SCORPIO's feelings can run deeper. For example,
both of you want a close relationship, but SCORPIO can become
intensely fixated on a person and possessive, whereas LIBRA
maintains a sense of proportion and some reasonable degree
of objectivity and emotional distance from others, even in
marriage. SCORPIO's "urge to merge" can be very
powerful. LIBRA's approach to life, in general, tends to be
more moderate and well-balanced, while SCORPIO tends to periodically
become intensely focused on some area of concern and become
even fanatical in pursuit of some interest. LIBRA's detached
fairness can infuriate SCORPIO at times, and SCORPIO's inexplicable
dark moods or fervent responses bewilder LIBRA. These differences
need not create serious problems in your relationship. Emotional
bonds between you can be very strong, especially if other
astrological indications indicate strong romantic or sexual
ties.
Your partnership is an intense one, and you are likely to
become very attached to, or obsessed with each other. If romantic
attraction is even reasonably strong, this relationship could
easily lead to marriage. First of all, both of you are very
oriented towards marriage. Neither of you feels comfortable
in light relationships and it is difficult for you to be "just
dating" someone. You prefer to be wholeheartedly involved
in a deep relationship or not at all.
Both of you are also prone to be possessive and very emotionally
attached to anyone that you give your love to. Like most lasting,
important relationships, yours will have its share of difficult
times, and you both seem to thrive on passionate, tempestuous
interactions. Stormy fights and sizzling reunions may typify
your relationship. You both love intensely and you hate with
equal ferocity, so your relationship is likely to be either
deeply satisfying or very destructive to you both; there is
no middle ground for the two of you!
You are different in many ways: very often, SAGITTARIUS feels
lighthearted and enthusiastic about some idea, project, plan
or dream, and feels that SCORPIO is too myopic and stubborn
to appreciate optimistic plans. Also, SAGITTARIUS loves festivities
and socializing while SCORPIO often feels uncomfortable with
large groups of people, and prefers a deeper, more intimate
involvement with just a few people rather than carousing with
a large group. SCORPIO is capable of tremendous concentrated
and persistent effort whereas SAGITTARIUS prefers to do a
little bit of everything: traveling and developing a wide
sphere of interests and activities, rather than being limited
to a few activities.
Also, SCORPIO's feelings usually run much deeper than SAGITTARIUS's
feelings, so SAGITTARIUS frequently fails to appreciate the
depth of feeling that SCORPIO experiences. SCORPIO becomes
very attached, emotionally, to a love partner and doesn't
easily share SAGITTARIUS's attention and affection with anyone
else. SAGITTARIUS, on the other hand, is something of a flirt
and may innocently arouse intense jealousy in SCORPIO. SAGITTARIUS
can be weighted down by SCORPIO's suspiciousness, demands
for loyalty and wholehearted involvement. Worse, SAGITTARIUS
may simply ignore SCORPIO's needs and not realize how strongly
SCORPIO feels.
SAGITTARIUS has a much greater need for freedom. The two
of you are so different that it will take a lot of compassion
and understanding for you to be together for any length of
time.
Both of you are initially very careful about revealing feelings,
motives and vulnerabilities; you are unwilling to reveal your
depths to others initially. It takes time for both of you
to trust and become open emotionally. Both of you have a natural
suspiciousness and reserve, and both are disinclined to have
casual relationships.
The difference between you is this: CAPRICORN has a much
greater capacity for objectivity, emotional distance, and
detachment than SCORPIO. CAPRICORN can be strangely aloof
at times, especially when feeling threatened, while SCORPIO
will seethe with emotion. SCORPIO is instinctive and passionate,
and gets totally immersed in, and attached to, a lover. CAPRICORN
may or may not feel as bonded, and even if CAPRICORN feels
as strongly as SCORPIO, CAPRICORN may not be able to show
the depth of feelings and emotional responsiveness that SCORPIO
desires.
This is unlikely to be a light, frothy, "fun" relationship
-but then neither of you really wants that anyway.
AQUARIUS is idealistic and can be very abstract and heady,
while SCORPIO relies more on instinct, intuitive sensitivity,
and "gut feelings". SCORPIO's passions, irrational
loves and hates, and intense emotional responses baffle AQUARIUS,
who is far more rational and cerebral. More importantly, SCORPIO
is very emotionally attached to a lover and can be become
intensely fixated on a person. AQUARIUS is cool, unemotional,
and rather aloof by comparison. AQUARIUS needs lots of friends
and acquaintances but is not as involved in personal relationships
as most people. This may create an emotional gap between you
that may well be hard to reconcile. You are also both stubborn,
rather opinionated, and inflexible. You'll need to appreciate
and really understand the differences in your temperaments
to harmonize in a long-term relationship.
Both of you are very sensitive, feeling, compassionate people,
and with one another you are able to have a depth of sharing
and intimacy and emotional union that you will find with few
others.
PISCES's sympathetic, non-judgmental, understanding attitude
can be a healing balm to SCORPIO, who is more emotional and
who often carries secret guilts, inner conflicts, and pain.
SCORPIO is more forceful than PISCES, and will sometimes
lash out with sarcasm or vindictiveness when hurt, which deeply
wounds PISCES. PISCES is gentler, has less protective armor,
and is generally more forgiving than SCORPIO is. Another difference
in your natures is this: SCORPIO is highly sexual and physical,
while PISCES prefers more softness, subtlety, and romance.
Basically however, you are quite compatible and can have a
very fulfilling union. |
