iii Scorpio in Love: Sexy, Secretive and Searingly Intense

Scorpio the sex machine. Scorpio the scorned lover. Scorpio the deranged bunny boiler, the femme fatale, the dark, handsome and dangerous stranger. Oh, Scorpio. Quite the reputation you have there. But is there any truth to this image, and what’s the bottom line when it comes to Scorpio compatibility with other zodiac signs? As a Scorpio, you have a powerful personality, with an almost magnetic aura around you. You are determined, forceful and intuitive, with a searing insight into others that can make people quite uncomfortable. And passionate – oh, yes. There’s certainly truth in the notion that Scorpios are highly sexed, but you’re not a manic sexual predator by any means. In fact, you have far too much dignity to indulge in casual sex and you prefer to exhibit your passions with a trusted partner, in private. In secret, even, because there’s a strong element of secrecy to your nature. Compatibility for Scorpios is a complex affair because you’re a complex sign.

1 What we do know is that your emotions are intense, deep and sometimes difficult even for you to handle, let alone a partner. Those hoping for Scorpio compatibility must be able to handle you as a fairly moody partner. You’re serious and thoughtful and not given to emotional outbursts, but if someone wrongs you, you will not forget it in a hurry. In fact, the vengeful side of your nature is part of what gives you such a scary reputation; you do believe in revenge, and you will take your time in serving it up. Obviously, however, you’d prefer not to have to – so when it comes to compatibility for Scorpios, you’re looking for someone you can trust and who won’t let you down….so you won’t need to plot, scheme and employ dangerously sharp objects. The other part of your reputation hinges around jealousy and possessiveness, and here the Scorpio naysayers do have a point. You are extremely jealous by nature and your resent any time your lover spends on anyone else, even their family and friends. This level of possessiveness can make it hard for a relationship to function normally in wider society, and can of course cause no end of resentment from your partner right back at you. A good star sign compatibility report, like the ones available from Astromatcha, will help you figure out how to control your jealous instincts so that your relationship can thrive. Scorpio compatibility with any sign isn’t going to live up to its potential unless you can control your deeper impulses.

It’s not all drama, doom and gloom, of course. As a Scorpio, you have many fantastic traits to offer a relationship. All that power and mystique is summed up in your mythological archetype, which is the sorcerer. You are direct and determined, and will help your partner to make the most of themselves. When you’re happy, you’re a romantic soul and will make your partner feel like the most important person on the planet. That high sex drive is a plus for a partner who loves to feel wanted, and you will always fight for your partner when the chips are down. Scorpio compatibility works well with a surprisingly wide range of other signs: the key is finding a partner who can handle the power struggles with aplomb, won’t set off your jealousy and can appreciate the depths of passion you offer.

2 More than most other signs, relationships are a learning curve for you. When you do find someone you truly love, and who values what you bring to the table as a Scorpio, compatibility issues fade quickly and you are resourceful and powerful enough to make almost any relationship work if you really want it to. Until then, however, some of your more “interesting” relationships are perhaps best thought of as experimental – or works in progress!

3 5 Tips for Keeping Your Scorpio Lover Happy

Scorpio has a strong, sexy and sometimes quite sinister reputation as a star sign, but in love compatibility, Scorpio is actually rather misunderstood. Love compatibility signs are only a general guide to your relationship – for a full insight, you should consider an Astromatcha compatibility report based on your full birth chart – but here we can offer a quick and simple guide to understanding your Scorpio partner.

1 – Ride the Emotional Rollercoaster Scorpio is an exceptionally emotional sign, hitting both the highs and the lows of emotions with scary regularity. To maintain compatibility, Scorpio needs you to go along for the ride. If you’re an emotional person too, that should be pretty easy, if potentially prone to chaos – but if you’re more controlled and logical about things you might find it hard to open up to the depths Scorpio requires. Don’t shy away from your emotions. You owe it to your Scorpio lover to at least try to understand where he or she is coming from, and that means listening to your own heart too. It’s not so hard to be honest about your feelings – is it?

2 – Enjoy the Power Games As a very controlling sign, Scorpio has lifelong issues with power. Ruled by Pluto, the planet of power and transformation, your Scorpio partner loves to dominate but can be quite scheming in how they get hold of that power in the first place. Translate this into the bedroom in order to increase sexual compatibility.

4 Scorpio has a very high sex drive, but will love to try bondage or other sexy power play games once you know each other well enough. Channel that need for control into something positive and before you know it, you’ll be enjoying the power trip too.

3 – Don’t Dig too Deep This is another of Scorpio’s paradoxes and contradictions. He or she will want to know absolutely everything about you, including your deepest and darkest secrets – but will give away very little in return. The more you dig, the more Scorpio will retreat and hold onto his or her intimate depths. The solution is simple – stop digging. Building trust between you will help to build your compatibility. Scorpio will learn to trust that you won’t pry information from him or her – and will eventually volunteer more and more information to you. Until such time, respect his or her privacy.

4 – Assert your Independence….Carefully If you’re a sociable, flirtatious person, you’ve probably already discovered that your Scorpio lover gets very, very jealous and frighteningly possessive at times. The easiest thing in the world would be to give in and to remain at Scorpio’s side at all times, but that wouldn’t be healthy for you, or indeed for your partner in the long run. Gently insist on your independence and on your freedom to be yourself. Once Scorpio figures out that you don’t mean any harm by smiling at someone else, he or she will start to loosen that grip on you, and then you can both relax. Compatibility Scorpio style means reaching a compromise over freedom and control.

5 5 – Give Scorpio No Reason to Hate You You really, really don’t want to pick a fight with Scorpio. Your Scorpio lover can be extremely spiteful and vengeful when wronged, yet will be your staunchest ally while you are together. The stereotypical scorned lover is nothing compared to a newly single Scorpio who didn’t want to be newly single. Loving a Scorpio means you’ll have to work almost constantly on your compatibility; Scorpio, however, will reward you by working just as hard and being surprisingly open to compromise once he or she realises just how much in love you both are. Above all, remember that if you see love compatibility signs between you and your Scorpio lover, it really doesn’t matter what Sun signs you both have – astrology compatibility is much more complex than Sun signs alone, so go for it!

6 Scorpio and Aries Compatibility: The Sorcerer and the Hero

One of the most scorchingly hot and searingly intense zodiac love pairings, this is a couple who would die for one another – or who will half kill each other in the fall out. Aries and Scorpio compatibility is a wild ride indeed, plunging this couple from the heights of ecstasy to the depths of despair and back again with frightening speed. No sign has a greater reputation for sexual intensity than Scorpio, and Aries compatibility depends a lot on sexual compatibility, so from the bedroom to the mundane details of everyday life, this is a relationship built on desire and passion all the way through.

A key to understanding the dynamics of Aries and Scorpio compatibility is to know that historically, both of these signs are ruled by Mars. Mars is the planet of passion – and of war. In recent times, Scorpio’s rulership has been re-assigned to Pluto, but that’s not an improvement, folks. Pluto is the planet of power, destructiveness and our collective dark side…. so when Mars and Pluto meet head on, intense power struggles result. Often, Scorpio and Aries compatibility is all-consuming and intoxicating but very short lived. This can be the once in a lifetime affair that neither side will ever forget, but which would have been simply impossible to sustain in the long term. “Affair” being the operative term too, since often in this pairing at least one partner is married or committed elsewhere – there’s frequently an air of secrecy or deception around this partnership.

7 When life is running smoothly, however, this couple do have a lot going for them. Beyond their obvious mutual attraction and shared passion, they are intrigued by one another’s natures. Scorpio, as a water sign, can help hot-headed Aries ground their impulsiveness in intuition, resulting in better decisions. Aries, the fire sign, can tempt the Scorpio partner out of his or her deep water and into a cauldron of excitement and adventure. Both signs are highly ambitious in terms of getting what they want, and when they choose to work together towards a common goal, they create a magnificent team. Aries and Scorpio compatibility for life achievement is unstoppable, especially if Aries listens to Scorpio’s almost Machiavellian strategy expertise. So much for the good times. Unfortunately for Aries and Scorpio, compatibility won’t always be so straightforward, because life for all of us usually gets pretty stressful at times. Under emotional pressure, this couple can fall apart fast. Scorpio will dig in, retreat and resort to emotional manipulation, while Aries will scream, shout and create tantrums that dignified Scorpio will despise. The relationship will be punctuated by heavy, intense rows and an emotionally destructive atmosphere. Each sign can hurt the other very badly if they try – and they will try. Jealousy can also be a very real issue for both Aries and Scorpio. Compatibility under stress is hard to come by indeed for this partnership, and ultimately the drama will probably become too much for Scorpio, who is likely to be the one calling an end to the game. Aries should remember, however, that Scorpio can be extremely vindictive, and will neither forgive nor forget long after the relationship itself has ended.

Of course, sometimes, for some couples, Aries and Scorpio compatibility succeeds. Where it does, it will be a complex relationship that outsiders don’t really “get”, but will be characterised by extreme loyalty and protectiveness of one another. Perhaps it works best where the couple live apart, or are kept apart by their different careers for extended periods of time. In that case, the passion and overwhelming emotions of their reunions will be enough to keep the more destructive elements of this pairing at bay.

8 Looking back to this couple’s mythological archetypes, remember that sometimes the Hero is assisted by the Sorcerer….and sometimes the Hero must defeat the Sorcerer, who usually holds much more power than the Hero does. Only rarely do the Hero and Sorcerer stay together in what one could reasonably term a relationship, and the mythical friendship, if there is one, between the two archetypes is often tense. In Aries and Scorpio compatibility, we have two immensely powerful characters in their own right – and an enormous power struggle which can last a lifetime.

9 Scorpio and Taurus Compatibility: The Sorcerer and the Lover

For Scorpio and Taurus, compatibility is desperately dramatic, hauntingly intense and poisonously potent. These two signs are opposite one another in the zodiac and in theory they fit very well together, like two halves of a heart. In practice, however, these powerful personalities – much as they are drawn to one another – find it difficult to cope with one another on a long term basis.

Taurus, the Lover, is down to earth, sensual, romantic and, crucially, open and honest with his or her feelings. The Scorpio Sorcerer is easily more than a match for Taurus sexually, but masks his or her whirlwind of emotions with a mysterious and inscrutable mask. For Taurus, love compatibility involves trust and transparency, but for Scorpio, secrecy is an inherent part of life. The mythical Sorcerer won’t want his or her mysteries offered up by Taurus for the world to see, so the archetypal Lover will have to learn to accept some element of emotional withholding from Scorpio. Scorpio and Taurus compatibility has to overcome this fundamental difference in approaches to life – and that’s only the fist hurdle. To be sure, there is a tremendous attraction between these two individuals. Together, they can take one another to heaven, hell or (frequently) both. It’s a highly sexual partnership, and also a very private one – although Taurus believes in open communication, he or she will be as keen as Scorpio is to keep their bedroom activities away from the rest of the world (if only

10 because the rest of the world will think they’re exaggerating anyway…). Scorpio and Taurus compatibility is about more than just sex, though. Both partners are exceedingly possessive and jealous – but here’s the thing: in this powerful and potentially destructive relationship, either partner may deliberately provoke the jealousy of the other, in order to reassure themselves how much they are loved. This is heady stuff and not always healthy for either partner psychologically. Because both zodiac signs are fixed signs, both Scorpio and Taurus will hold onto their opinions for dear life, with neither willing to compromise or back down. When they clash on day to day issues, the fights can be epic and frightening in their intensity. Onlookers could be forgiven for wondering how on earth the relationship could ever be patched up again after what they’ve witnessed – but before you know it, with smouldering sex on the agenda, this couple will be back in one another’s arms. Don’t make the mistake of thinking they’ve forgiven each other, though. For Scorpio and Taurus, compatibility means never having to say you’re sorry….but never forgetting a grudge either.

Although the Taurus partner will often appear to win an argument, through sheer force of will, it’s actually the Sorcerer who pulls the strings in this relationship. Out-manoeuvred by Taurus intransigence, Scorpio will resort to clandestine manipulation, emotional blackmail or even petty spite behind the scenes. The Scorpio Sorcerer is not an enemy you want to have, but star sign compatibility pits the Taurean Lover against this powerful force. Taurus, more so than most signs, can win Scorpio over by helping Scorpio to trust and to believe. Scorpio and Taurus compatibility, held together always by that sexual chemistry, can also grow into a positive force for good once Scorpio realises that Taurus isn’t going anywhere. Once Scorpio understands the constancy of Taurus’ love, compatibility will deepen.

11 As an earth and water combination, this couple can be good for one another, in small doses. When the relationship is working well, earthy Taurus can help to calm the boiling whirlpool or Scorpio emotions, while Scorpio can help Taurus move past logic and common sense into a more ethereal world of emotional possibilities. It’s a complex dynamic, however, and all too often this more positive side of Scorpio and Taurus compatibility is lost amid the drama, the passion, the intensity and the pain. Definitelya life changing relationship, this is a partnership which will leave its mark on both Scorpio and Taurus. They may rapidly learn to hate one another, almost as fast as they fell in love in the first place – but can they live without one another? Such is the magnetism, an almost fatal attraction, that this couple will emerge from this relationship as changed people, however brief its lifetime.

12 Scorpio and Gemini Compatibility: The Sorcerer and the Communicator

With Scorpio and Gemini compatibility, we see the more tumultuous side of an water/air sign partnership. Not many rainbows and gentle showers for these two – more of a tropical storm with destructive forces at work. This is a relationship which can work, almost in spite of itself, but these two will take potentially a long time to figure one another out.

The differences between the two signs are obvious if we look at their sociability – or lack of it. Private and intense Scorpio is a bit of a loner, but Gemini loves to be surrounded by people. When in love, Scorpio wants couple time ALL the time, while Gemini wants to divide their time between their lover and their friends. However, this can actually work itself out, in a slightly eccentric kind of way. If this couple spend a lot of time apart, then Scorpio and Gemini compatibility has more of a chance. Scorpio gets his or her privacy, while Gemini gets to enjoy a social life – and since they will miss one another when apart, the relationship will be all the more passionate when they are reunited. Now, passion is something Scorpio knows well. The Sorcerer is possibly the most intense and powerful sign of the zodiac, and does nothing by halves – especially not sexually. Gemini’s ardour is cooler and more aloof, but susceptible to flattery, and having a sultry Scorpio lusting after you is flattering indeed. In the bedroom, Scorpio and Gemini compatibility is exciting and adventurous, although if the relationship is not well established, nervy Gemini can be slightly intimidated by Scorpio’s darker, more kinky side.

13 It won’t be a quiet relationship. Power struggles are unavoidable with Scorpio, and Gemini compatibility depends upon having a good argument now and then, so this couple will frequently let rip at one another. Although Gemini is used to winning arguments, intense Scorpio can seriously wound with words, and even the light-hearted Communicator of the zodiac will be taken aback by the ferocity sometimes. Gemini/Scorpio compatibility could hit the rocks if Scorpio feels that Gemini isn’t taking the relationship seriously enough, which is likely to be the cause of most arguments. The other major issue for these two to face is jealousy. With the possible exception of Taurus, no sign is more jealous and possessive than Scorpio – and Gemini is the undeniable flirt of the zodiac. Pit Scorpio’s deep, dark fury against Gemini’s fickleness and gregarious nature and you could have a recipe for disaster. Fortunately for Gemini, the archetypal Communicator will be able to get his or her side of the story across well enough to stave off the worst of Scorpio’s angst. Most of the time. Mostly freedom loving Gemini will be irritated by Scorpio jealousy, but secretly there’s no denying that it’s flattering to the Gemini ego. Hopefully for Scorpio and Gemini compatibility, Gemini will learn quickly not to provoke the Sorcerer’s wrath for fun, however. That is not a wise move.

When these two do understand one another, it’s a deeply loyal relationship, albeit it one which tends to swing from highs to lows. Stability doesn’t really figure into it, but if this couple break up they’ll be quick to make up….before breaking up again. Despite their obvious differences, they do feel drawn to one another. That’s what makes Scorpio and Gemini compatibility so quirky – it’s a constant battle between privacy and public, between angst and indifference, between communication and secrecy. It’s a very fine line for the couple to tread, but many do tread it successfully.

14 When the relationship works to its best potential, the Gemini partner brings some welcome light relief to the brooding Sorcerer who, despite his or her dark persona, is enchanted by Gemini’s wit and charm. In return, Scorpio shows flighty Gemini the value of determination, staying power and depth. If they use their combined abilities, this partnership can achieve a great deal in life and can offer one another a lot of mutual support and respect. The problem for thiscomplicated couple is getting either side to have the patience to get past the initial teething troubles of the relationship. If they do, the zodiac’s resident Sorcerer can benefit hugely from having the Communicator’s assistance, and the Communicator will find spice and magic added to their words by the Sorcerer’s expertise. A potent and valuable combination indeed, and something many Gemini/ Scorpio compatibility partners will find to be worth fighting for.

15 Scorpio and Cancer Compatibility: The Sorcerer and the Homemaker

Surely the archetypal Sorcerer is too powerful and (let’s be honest) scary for the gentle Homemaker of the zodiac, no? Actually, no. Scorpio and Cancer compatibility is strong and likely to get stronger the more time this couple spend together. There is a huge amount of chemistry between these partners, coupled with a loyalty and a depth that many other star sign matches can only envy.

Scorpio and Cancer are both water signs, with tremendously strong emotions. The one thing they both need more than any other is some stability in their lives (not that they would always admit that, mind). Oddly enough, it with each other – another unstable water sign – that they find that mutual stability and security. For Scorpio and Cancer compatibility, one lot of water serves to calm the currents in the other. This relationship is a highly sensual one; Scorpio the Sorcerer is probably the most sexual sign in the zodiac, and Cancer brings a romance and passion to the partnership which can match Scorpio’s depth. When the relationship works well, there is a shared, unspoken intimacy which binds this couple together and helps to minimise any problems. These two can’t take their eyes off one another, and may well have fallen in love at first sight. Scorpio and Cancer compatibility is never stronger than in the bedroom. In day to day life, these two partners give each other just what they need. Cancer is able to provide some practicality and shrewd common sense with which to anchor the Sorcerer’s magic.

16 Meanwhile, the Homemaker helps to calm some of Scorpio’s darker side, and channels positivity of emotion. Scorpio is intensely jealous, but Cancer actually likes that – it helps to make the Cancer partner feel wanted and secure. Not that either partner is likely to stray – one of the great strengths of Scorpio and Cancer compatibility is their mutual trust and respect. To outsiders, this is an enigmatic and somewhat mysterious relationship. Both Cancer and Scorpio are quite private signs, Scorpio especially so. Don’t expect either partner to gossip to friends or neighbours about what’s going on in their love life; there will be many mutual secrets kept here. There are few matches as intriguing as Scorpio and Cancer. Compatibility between this couple is often for their eyes only!

Of course, no relationship runs completely smoothly, and these two will have their ups and downs like anyone else. Scorpio can occasionally wound sensitive Cancer with their poisonous words, and Cancer can wear out Scorpio’s patience with one too many mood swings. Both signs are adept at psychological manipulation, and Scorpio in particular will use Cancer’s weaknesses against him or her at times. However, Cancer and Scorpio compatibility is held together by an almost psychic link and should these two decide to end their relationship, it will be very painful for both of them. Fortunately, it’s unlikely to come to that. As a fixed sign, Scorpio doesn’t give in easily, and especially now when the Sorcerer is as enchanted with someone as they will be with Cancer. Cancer is a cardinal sign, and will take the initiative in mending the relationship should this couple go through a rough patch. Neither will take their difficulties lightly, so Scorpio and Cancer compatibility stands a good chance of surviving whatever upheavals the world tosses this couple’s way. Part of this is down to the strong combination of ruling planets. Cancer is ruled by the Moon, representing emotions, but Scorpio is ruled by transformative, powerful Pluto. Blended together, this gives a tremendous transformative emotional energy – and using this can be a secret weapon for Cancer and Scorpio. Compatibility can be salvaged from the depths of despair if these two work together and really pool their efforts.

17 Scorpio and Leo Compatibility: The Sorcerer and the Royal

What king or queen couldn’t do with a mysterious sorcerer at their side? And what sorcerer could resist influencing the king or queen and thereby gaining the power they seek? Leo and Scorpio compatibility is a complex dynamic, creating an all consuming relationship which can rise to great heights or sink to shocking depths, either way taking both partners on a ride they’ll never forget.

Leo and Scorpio are both immensely powerful personalities. There is a sexual chemistry between these two which is very obvious, and an intensity to their emotional connection which draws them together even in spite of themselves. At its best, this relationship is passionate, fiercely loyal and very fast moving. For Leo and Scorpio, compatibility is underpinned by a karmic link which is hard for either to break. However, the relationship is characterised by extreme drama, frightening arguments and a depth of vengefulness which can be pretty alarming. When these two fight, you do not want to be in the vicinity – and Scorpio in particular will bear a grudge for a very, very long time. The main problem is that both signs are on a quest for power, albeit in very different ways. The strong willed Royal of the zodiac more than meets his or her match in Scorpio the Sorcerer, but what Leo will obtain through sheer force of personality, Scorpio will obtain, if necessary, by more manipulative and underhand methods.

18 Both are fixed signs, unwilling to compromise, and both can be intensely jealous. Leo and Scorpio compatibility always seems to turn into an all or nothing situation. While these two may not find it easy to live together, they also won’t find it easy to stay apart, and for that reason there’s a kind of fateful aura about the relationship. To understand Scorpio and Leo compatibility, it helps to consider the ruling planets and elements of the two zodiac signs. Scorpio is a water sign, which could mean that he or she puts out Leo’s fire – except that Scorpio is a special case. The historic ruler of this sign is Mars, which lends Scorpio many fire traits, so in some ways this relationship can be considered a fire and fire match. There is certainly a shared level of energy here. Scorpio’s other ruler is Pluto, the planet of regeneration, destruction and reinvention. Powerful Pluto is more than a match for Leo’s ruler, the Sun, and indeed Scorpio can stand up to Leo’s fury like no other sign. For both Leo and Scorpio, compatibility exerts such a pull that neither partner may fully understand why they can’t either make the relationship work or move on.

If this couple can navigate the choppy waters of this dramatic relationship, they can find a stability – of sorts. Emotional security is important to Scorpio, and Leo compatibility works best from a stable base too. Can this couple achieve that? Well, Leo is attracted to the mysterious Sorcerer’s enigmatic presence, while Scorpio is likewise attracted to the Royal’s charisma. Scorpio has difficulty trusting other people, but Leo is sufficiently open and genuine to assuage Scorpio’s fears in that department. If Leo is willing to tolerate Scorpio’s emotional manipulation, and if Scorpio can learn to put up with Leo’s bossiness, then the couple can achieve a relationship of utter devotion and loyalty. It will still be punctuated by extreme fights and fallings out, but the chemistry which draws them together in the first place may be enough to keep them together. For Leo and Scorpio compatibility in the long term, forgiveness is key.

19 This is a relationship then which can move from one extreme to another at lightning speed, but which can also give both partners so much joy and satisfaction during the good times. Sexual, heated, steamy and filled with drama, it’s not a relationship for the faint hearted, but both Scorpio and Leo are strong enough to cope. Whether they come together for a few weeks or a lifetime, Leo and Scorpio compatibility is raw, but so irresistible for both partners.

20 Scorpio and Virgo Compatibility: The Sorcerer and the Healer

You might wonder what on earth strong, powerful Scorpio and meek, unassuming Virgo see in one another – and Scorpio and Virgo compatibility does make for an unusual couple. However, the clue to this relationship’s surprisingly high level of success is in the couple’s mythological archetypes. The Sorcerer and the Healer are both mysterious, enigmatic beings, and they both wield magical power of one sort or another. These two have more in common than you might think, and can create an unbeatable team when they fall in love.

Both Virgo and Scorpio present an inscrutable mask in public, so this couple probably had quite a task in getting to know each other to begin with. Scorpio is not the most sociable sign in the zodiac; Virgo compatibility is slow burning too, so this isn’t a fast moving relationship. They do, however, recognise a karmic bond between them, and they do feel a sense of togetherness right from the start. Once the relationship begins, overtly sensual Scorpio will need to tread softly with more modest Virgo, but in time Virgo will recognise that he or she can trust Scorpio, and will open up and let loose their own surprisingly sexual, earthy nature. Scorpio and Virgo compatibility may begin in the bedroom, but it certainly doesn’t end there. 21 Although Scorpio’s depths of emotion may sometimes overwhelm the more logical and detached Virgo, both of these signs are seeking security and stability. The Sorcerer admires Virgo’s sure-footedness and rooted, grounded nature, while in turn the Virgo Healer is in awe of Scorpio’s depths and charismatic aura. Insightful Virgo can see through Scorpio’s persona, which both alarms and delights secretive Scorpio; meanwhile, the Sorcerer is known for penetrating insight too, and can more than match Virgo’s knowing mind. For Scorpio and Virgo, compatibility is a blend of opposites, in many ways, but one which works very well given half a chance. Both Scorpio and Virgo are deeply loyal when in love, and both partners would much prefer to be home alone (together) rather than out in the social whirl, so this makes for an intensely private relationship which can seem somewhat defensive to others. Scorpio in particular feels protective of unassuming Virgo, and will defend the Healer to the ends of the earth and back again. In their own ways, both partners in this relationship are seeking control over their lives, which helps Scorpio and Virgo compatibility over the longer term. Scorpio wants power, whereas Virgo wants order; working together, this couple can achieve both.

Communication will be good in this relationship when Scorpio and Virgo compatibility is working well. Virgo is ruled by Mercury, the natural communicator, while Scorpio traditionally is ruled by Mars, the planet of passion. This couple’s debates, although heated, will be productive too, and they will usually find a way forwards through any difficulties. However, Scorpio’s modern ruler is Pluto, planet of destruction and transformation. In a worst case scenario, Scorpio can overpower Virgo at will, and because Virgo likes to serve someone else, an unscrupulous Scorpio can take advantage of this. Of all the signs in the zodiac, Virgo compatibility with Scorpio can be the most like a dominant/submissive relationship, and not necessarily in a good way.

22 Taken to extremes, this relationship can be very tricky for Virgo to escape from, but fortunately the majority of Scorpios are very far removed from the dark and dangerous stereotypes of their sign. An unusual but almost fated partnership, this relationship works in a way which outsiders might find hard to understand. Even the couple themselves are not quite sure how and why Scorpio and Virgo compatibility works, just glad that it does.

23 Scorpio and Libra Compatibility: The Sorcerer and the Idealist

Scorpio and Libra compatibility makes for an intriguing and charismatic relationship, but the Sorcerer and the Idealist want very different things from life and may struggle to understand one another on a long term basis. If you have questions about Libra and Scorpio compatibility, ask our astrologer, or read on to find out more about this elusive match. Libra is ruled by Venus, the planet of love, and is on a lifelong search for their perfect partner. Scorpio is traditionally ruled by Mars, the planet of passion. Together Venus and Mars make a feminine-masculine link (regardless of the gender of each partner) which is the basis of all successful relationships. With romance and passion combined, what could possibly go wrong for this pair? The answer lies in Scorpio’s modern ruling planet, Pluto. Pluto is the planet which drives Scorpio’s need for power and regeneration, and which gives the Sorcerer his or her darker edge. Everything which Pluto represents is something which Libra abhors, so this is not good news for Scorpio and Libra compatibility.

On the surface, this relationship is passionate and loving, with Libra enjoying Scorpio’s intense jealousy, and Scorpio admiring Libra’s sociable, easy going charm. Sexual chemistry is high, but where Scorpio and Libra compatibility may fall down is on intellectual chemistry. It’s not that either sign is unintelligent, but they operate on very different mental levels. 24 Libra is a flighty, fast moving air sign, interested in everything but only on a superficial level. Scorpio’s intellect is much narrower in focus, but also much deeper. The Sorcerer will soon find Libra’s superficiality to be annoying, while the Idealist will bore of Scorpio’s relentless, one- direction progress. For Libra and Scorpio, compatibility depends upon each partner learning to adopt something of the other’s style, which is not at all easy. In their everyday lives, Scorpio and Libra compatibility will have to face other obstacles too. It could be something as simple as their social lives: the Sorcerer likes to be alone or to be all consumed with a lover, while the sociable Idealist likes to among a throng of friends whenever possible. As the relationship starts to unravel, Libra will find that Scorpio jealousy, which made them feel so special at the beginning, to be more and more of a burden, while Scorpio will seethe and plot revenge for Libra’s flirting. Unless the love between them is very strong, Libra, the Idealist of the zodiac, may soon decide that Scorpio isn’t quite what they were looking for after all, and will move on to a somewhat lighter relationship. Of all signs, Libra is the one that probably most fails to appreciate Scorpio’s darker intensity. For the Sorcerer’s part, patience will soon run out with Libra’s indecision and dithering, and the Libra partner may be dismissed as simply too “lightweight” for Scorpio’s tastes. Scorpio and Libra compatibility is hard to rescue once the relationship has started to go down hill, because both partners can be quite deceitful and underhand when they feel wronged.

Remember, though, that astrology compatibility is more complicated than sun signs alone. For a more thorough insight into this complex relationship, order an Astromatcha star sign compatibility report, which will be based upon the time, date and place of birth for both partners, and will consider the whole birth charts. No sun sign match can be dismissed completely, and if these two are in love then there are ways the relationship can be made to work. When it does work, both partners have a lot to gain from Scorpio and Libra compatibility, if only they hang on in there long enough to find out.

25 Scorpio can provide Libra with strategy and focus for those scatterbrained ideas, while Libra can provide Scorpio with some fun and light relief from that emotional intensity. Libra is also very beneficial to Scorpio when it comes to providing balance for Scorpio’s emotional tempests. However, for this love match to truly work, both partners must put in some effort – otherwise, this water and air sign match is likely to simply evaporate rather than form a beautiful rainbow.

26 Scorpio and Scorpio Compatibility: A Hypnotic Obsession?

Scorpio is the most intense but also most widely misunderstood sign of the zodiac. Like their archetypal figure, the Sorcerer, the partners in this relationship are very powerful but can use that power for both good and for ill. How they choose to relate to each other is fascinating. Scorpio and Scorpio compatibility is extreme – but extreme in which direction comes down to the individual couple.

Scorpio star sign compatibility is all about passion, magnetism and raw sexuality, and for Scorpio and Scorpio, compatibility at first is a foregone conclusion. The two Sorcerers sense in one another a partner worthy of their time and attention – an equal. As well as being exceptionally sexually compatible, this couple are also on the same wavelength emotionally. Both know what it’s like to deal with deep, turbulent emotions, so they make allowances for one another’s moods and feelings. Intensely jealous and possessive, they also tend to be very faithful and loyal to one another – if only because they know the fury they will face if they’re not. On the surface then, this is an intense and exotic relationship, characterised by a raunchiness and a strength of feeling that few signs can match. However, Scorpio is ruled by Pluto, the planet of power, control, destruction and obsession. This couple can quickly become obsessive about one another, to an extent that isn’t healthy for either of them.

27 The Scorpio/Scorpio couple will rarely be out of one another’s sight and will view everyone who comes into contact with them with the utmost suspicion. Because this relationship is so insular, it makes it hard for either partner to seek outside advice from anyone, which trebles the difficulties if things go wrong. Scorpio and Scorpio compatibility is virtually impenetrable to anyone else; this couple are so wrapped up with one another that nobody else is welcome, even as a friend.

Constant power struggles can ensue, because both partners need to be in control. When they feel slighted, each partner can be highly vindictive, so this can be a relationship in which spite plays far too big a role, having a destructive effect on the passion they share. Scorpio is a fixed sign, so both partners will be very stubborn. Compromise is not on the menu in Scorpio and Scorpio compatibility – it’s more a case of who blinks first. However, where it works well, this couple share a love and a depth of feeling which is life changing for both of them. It’s not always a healthy relationship, but it is a magnetic one, and one which neither partner will be able to walk away from easily. The sheer intensity of it can burn out the couple while the relationship is still young – and if they do split up, it won’t be pleasant. However, despite the rages and the revenge and the calculated spite, still something will draw these two back together again. One Sorcerer wields a mysterious attraction over another, and they simply cannot resist getting back together for round two – or twenty two. Scorpio and Scorpio compatibility is rarely plain sailing, but it can be long-lasting, albeit in fits and starts. Part of the problem with Scorpio star sign compatibility with another Scorpio is that each partner can see right through the other, for better and for worse. The Sorcerer, so adept at hiding his or her true self from others, has no defence against another Sorcerer. This can be both highly unsettling and at once somehow liberating – if both partners dare to be seen in their true light, they can find themselves dancing very much in step.

28 In that case, Scorpio and Scorpio compatibility can be unbeatable, given the strong desires and resolute determination of both partners. If one Scorpio isn’t brave enough to rise to the challenge, however, then this relationship can be an absolute disaster, with added drama, spiralling out of control faster than anyone can stop it. When the dark side of Scorpio emerges against another Scorpio, it can be frightening stuff indeed.

29 Scorpio and Sagittarius Compatibility: The Sorcerer and the Adventurer

Scorpio and Sagittarius compatibility is a hot and steamy mixture of a fire and a water sign, but very different outlooks on life make it tricky for this couple to forge a lifelong relationship together. The Adventurer and the Sorcerer want fundamentally different things from life, but if true love prevails then a compromise might be found. Scorpio and Sagittarius are both strong personalities, but they are drawn to one another by an intrigue they can’t quite figure out. It seems that Scorpio is attracted tothe fire and charisma of the Adventurer, and Sagittarius is turned on by the mystique and the quiet, brooding nature of the Sorcerer. If truth be told, both signs sense some danger in the other one, and both are willing to try their luck. Sagittarius and Scorpio compatibility is a little like a test of wills or a battle of emotional depth over enthusiasm; of vitality over power. Across the zodiac, love compatibility often flares originally when both signs sense a challenge, and so is the case here.

What both signs bring to the table is a huge amount of passion. Sagittarius has a passion for life itself, and a fiery, open, energetic nature.Scorpio has a deep, sexual, seductive passion which blends with Sagittarius to produce great chemistry and an irresistible attraction between these two. However, both partners have volatile natures and an initial sexual intensity isn’t going to be enough to sustain this partnership over the longer term. For Sagittarius and Scorpio compatibility to last, there has to be a deeper level of understanding between the two partners.

30 The relationship runs into trouble when Scorpio possessiveness tries to get freedom loving Sagittarius to make some kind of commitment. The more the Sorcerer tries to expert power over the elusive Adventurer, the more the couple struggle – but Scorpio does not give in, and will not get the message to back off. This is a shame, because if Scorpio learnt to let go a little and gave Sagittarius some measure of independence, the Adventurer would probably stay fairly close of his or her own accord, fascinated by the enigma which Scorpio so expertly portrays. Sagittarius and Scorpio compatibility can be made to work, when both partners realise where they’re going wrong, but stubborn Scorpio is much less open to change than Sagittarius is. While gregarious Sagittarius would like to be out and about, making new friends and socialising, insular Scorpio would much rather be at home, turning on the Sorcerer’s power and controlling and directing the couple’s life. Clearly, this is an issue which has to be resolved. Yet when this couple argue, the situation becomes even more complicated. Scorpio won’t reveal their true emotions easily, whereas Sagittarius lays their soul bare in true what-you- see-is-what-you-get fashion. The open and honest Adventurer will eventually tire of Scorpio’s hidden depths precisely because those depths remain hidden. Patience is not a Sagittarian strong point and the Adventurer may well decide to move on to a more straightforward partner.

Where both partners are tying hard to resolve their problems, however, there is light at the end of the tunnel. The danger that these two sensed in one another – that Scorpio might swallow Sagittarius’ fire in their emotional depths, or that Sagittarian restlessness would boil away at Scorpio’s jealousy – can pass if communication can be improved. It helps if Sagittarius learns to give Scorpio time and space to come up with a response – seeking on the spot, face to face answers doesn’t work with the Sorcerer. Sagittarius and Scorpio compatibility can be salvaged with a little mutual understanding and an agreement to work with one another instead of against each other.

31 If you have a question about Sagittarius and Scorpio compatibility, ask our astrologer. You will find many answers in anAstromatcha star sign compatibility report, with advice on how to maximise your partnership’s strengths and minimise its weaknesses. When problems can be ironed out between these two powerful members of the zodiac, love compatibility can flourish in a magnetic, energetic and powerful love match which will keep both partner guessing, in a good way, for a long time.

32 Scorpio and Capricorn Compatibility: The Sorcerer and the Sage

The mythological Sage and the Sorcerer are both accumulators of wisdom in the zodiac, so when these two fall in love you can expect an interesting relationship in which both partners can learn a great deal from each other. Capricorn and Scorpio compatibility is excellent in business and as a friendship, but has potential as a love match too. One of the most marked characteristics of this relationship is a shared determination to make progress; this couple will have clear goals for their life together, and little can stand in the way of their achieving them. At their best, these two blend practical logic with intuition and insight, making for a dynamic team. Capricorn and Scorpio compatibility is strong when it comes to sexual attraction, with Capricorn’s sensual nature being a good match for Scorpio’s depth of passion and sexuality. If anyone can turn sensible, sober Capricorn into a hot bed of steamy ardour, it’s Scorpio! A physical connection is essential for Scorpio, and Capricorn compatibility depends on this too, with Capricorn being an earth sign.

Away from the bedroom, however, this is quite a serious relationship. Both Scorpio and Capricorn are thoughtful, reserved signs, with not much time for the superficial and the trivial in life. While this does make for an intense relationship, it also means the couple lack a safety vale – if they could develop other interests and hobbies away from their relationship, they would be able to give one another much needed space at times of stress. 33 For Scorpio and Capricorn, compatibility in love means taking on responsibilities, towards one another and towards their eventual family – which they shoulder very well indeed, but there’s not always as much joy as there could be. Both Capricorn and Scorpio like to be in charge in a relationship. Their archetypes, the Sage and the Sorcerer, are both powerful individuals who have earned the right to respect. When this couple clashes, it’s likely to be over power and who takes the lead. Neither likes to be bossed around, but Capricorn, the cardinal sign in the mix, will probably get his or her own way mostly. On the surface, at least, but you can be sure that manipulative Scorpio will be smiling serenely while frantically arranging things behind the scenes to get what they wanted anyway. Provided Capricorn finds this amusing instead of infuriating, Capricorn and Scorpio compatibility needn’t be ruined by power struggles. When they do argue, this couple’s differences in manner are clearly exposed.Scorpio will rage and seethe and brood and sulk and try everything in the Sorcerer’s book to get a reaction from Capricorn. The wise old Sage, infuriatingly for Scorpio, will merely look on, nod, shrug and walk away, meeting Scorpio’s anger with cool indifference. It’s perhaps fortunate for Capricorn and Scorpio compatibility that the causes for arguments are surprisingly few and far between for this couple. They share a similar approach to money, parenting, sex, fidelity, career and social life, so apart from those power struggles mentioned above the mismatched drama of an argument shouldn’t occur too often.

Scorpio and Capricorn have a lot to learn from one another, and both are wise enough to acknowledge that – indeed, to welcome it. Scorpio can teach cool Capricorn the joy (and, let’s be honest, despair) of delving into emotional depths, while Capricorn can show Scorpio how to bring those emotions under control and harness them for good. When the relationship is flourishing, Capricorn and Scorpio compatibility is a learning curve for both, in a very positive way. 34 For this couple, a relatively stable and secure relationship is on the cards, with every chance of a life long match. To outsiders, the sexy, magnetic Sorcerer and the reserved, sensible Sage may have little in common, but it’s the shared interests, mutual respect and depth of understanding between the two of them which help to bring Capricorn and Scorpio compatibility to life. When these two collaborate, much as you might imagine if a mythical Sage and Sorcerer work together, there is little which can prevent their happiness.

35 Scorpio and Aquarius Compatibility: The Sorcerer and the Visionary

Scorpio and Aquarius compatibility makes for an edgy, unusual and at times fraught relationship, but with (lots of) hard work, this couple can begin to understand the gulf of differences between them and to appreciate one another’s unique outlooks. The Visionary wants to change the world, and the Sorcerer has the power to make that happen, so this can be a very positive business relationship or friendship, but there are certainly plenty of emotional bumps in love. Read on to find out more about birthdate compatibility for this odd but powerful couple.

The biggest thing keeping these two apart is the same thing that somehow magnetically draws them together. For both Scorpio and Aquarius, compatibility is a mutual challenge. They each sense in the other someone they can’t easily have, and that intrigues them both. It’s not an easy going, instant relationship because both partners are initially reserved and cautious. Their different methods of emotional expression are so alien to one another that they may as well be from different planets….but that’s interesting to them both.Scorpio feels every last emotion with a depth and an intensity that few can match; Aquarius remains cools, distant and above most emotions, so it’s easy to see where the emotional mismatch happens. It’s not just a conflict between emotional and unemotional when Scorpio and Aquarius get together. There’s also a battle going on between an inward self expression by Scorpio, who likes

36 to be alone or with just a few people, and an outward self expression by Aquarius, who loves to be surrounded by others and who functions best as a social being. Compromise over the couple’s social life will certainly be necessary if Scorpio and Aquarius compatibility is to flourish, but the ongoing differences here are likely to be a source of friction no matter how hard the couple tries to meet in the middle. Both signs are fixed signs, which in astrological terms means that you’re looking at one very stubborn couple. Both opinionated and absolutely certain that their way is the right way, this couple will have trouble seeing the world through each other’s eyes, which is a necessary first step towards compromise of any kind. For Scorpio and Aquarius, compatibility is a very hot and cold affair – as soon as they’re over one hurdle, another comes their way. There’s an element of defiance about both of these signs too, and both can be somewhat emotionally perverse, so you get the impression that this couple make life even harder for themselves than it need be.

Aquarius, the Visionary, is ruled by unpredictable Uranus, and by cool, rational Saturn. Scorpio, the Sorcerer, is ruled by passionate, red hot Mars, and by powerful and controlling Pluto. The Sorcerer’s need to control their world (and those in it) will meet its match in the Visionary’s need to be free from any control at all. For Scorpio and Aquarius compatibility to work at its best, Scorpio will need to lose some possessiveness and let Aquarius have his or her freedom – at least, some of it. Aquarius, in return, will need to pay more attention to Scorpio’s emotions, and to be less aloof and off-hand with their passionate, soulful mate. If the couple can make the relationship work, this can be a very dignified and respectful partnership. The Scorpio Sorcerer can help the Visionary put some of those progressive plans into action, while the Visionary can help the Sorcerer shake off the bonds of too much emotion and enjoy the lighter side of life.

37 It can be a beautiful balance, but ultimately both of these people are strong characters in their own right, and not necessarily given to balance of any kind. When Scorpio shows too much jealousy, or Aquarius shows too much rebelliousness, the relationship will wobble severely. Can the Sorcerer and the Visionary pull it together? Of course, if they are truly in love. Birthdate compatibility is only a guide, and we humans are know for our capacity to overcome obstacles when in love – so yes, there can be a happily ever after. However, for Scorpio and Aquarius, compatibility will be a difficult prize. If you have an astrology compatibility question, ask our astrologer today and find out how to make the most of your unique relationship strengths.

38 Scorpio and Pisces Compatibility: The Sorcerer and the Dreamer

Both of these signs deal in magic, whether it’s the potent sorcery of Scorpio or the subtle fantasy of Pisces. As such, Pisces and Scorpio compatibility can be one of the most magical and alluring of all zodiac sign matches. If you have a question about this astrology relationship, ask it here, or why not order an Astromatcha compatibility report for in-depth coverage of this beautiful partnership?

Scorpio and Pisces understand one another intimately. Both water signs, they are two of the most emotional signs in the zodiac, and they both know what it is like to be overwhelmed by feelings. This is a strongly intuitive relationship, founded on a base of these shared emotional strengths. Crucially, however, because the relationship is so intense, both partners also need time away from it. Pisces and Scorpio compatibility is blessed with a mutual understanding which really helps here. Both partners understand the other’s need for occasional solitude, and neither will take it personally. Pisces accepts Scorpio’s need for solitary, secretive time, and Scorpio definitely “gets” Pisces need to escape into a fantasy. Scorpio is one of the most passionate signs in the zodiac, and Pisces is one of the most romantic. When this couple gets together, there is an immediate sexual attraction, and an enduring magnetism. Both are given to extreme highs and lows, mind, so this relationship doesn’t seem to have any middle ground.

39 The couple are either blissfully, passionately, intoxicatingly in love….or engaged in all out, spiteful, damaging war. They’re never just “OK”. Veering from one end of the spectrum to the other is exhausting for both Pisces and Scorpio; compatibility between the two, however is heightened again because of this shared way of reacting to the world. At home, this couple will create an unbeatable and atmospheric partnership, no doubt infused with a certain degree of otherworldly, mystical, hard to put your finger on spirituality.Gentle Pisces, the archetypal Dreamer, brings softness and kindness to the harsher edges of Scorpio, the mythical Sorcerer. In return, Scorpio provides strength and stability for Pisces, and can help Pisces focus on their goals and ambitions. Scorpio is a fixed sign, and will be the one thing Pisces can rely upon; Pisces on the other hand, is a mutable sign, and will fit in beautifully and happily with Scorpio’s deeper wishes and choices. Pisces and Scorpio compatibility works well in this regard, because Scorpio wants to the leader and Pisces likes to follow.

There are one or two possible issues which could cloud this otherwise delightful partnership. The all-controlling Sorcerer likes to keep his or her lovers close, but Pisces is elusive, and hard to pin down. If Scorpio jealousy rears its ugly head, Pisces can be suffocated. Holding on far too tight is always a problem for Scorpio, and Pisces compatibility with the Sorcerer runs into problems when Scorpio cannot let go. The zodiac’s Dreamer might also find it hard to cope withthe darker side of Scorpio. When lust, power struggles, revenge and scheming are on the agenda, Pisces can easily be harmed by all that negativity, and dragged into emotions they will find it hard to escape from. Aside from possibly harming one another emotionally, this couple might also find themselves up against a very tough world. Because both signs are water signs and completely led by their emotions, it will be difficult for them to find objectivity when life gets difficult for whatever reason.

40 They can easily send one another deeper and deeper into spirals of despair – hopefully, one or both partners will have some earth or air influences elsewhere in their chart to counteract this possibility. Otherwise, there is always the danger that Pisces and Scorpio compatibility, beautiful though it is, will let both partners down just when they need one another the most. Overall, however, this is a highly positive astrology compatibility match, and potentially one of the strongest and most enduring relationships of all. Trust is a big issue for Scorpio, and Pisces compatibility is easily abused too, so both of these signs will find in one another someone they can rely upon. Fiercely loyal to one another and protective of the magic they have created together, you’ll be hard pressed to find a couple more devoted than Pisces and Scorpio. Compatibility at its romantic best, perhaps?

41 Scorpio Man

The typical Scorpio man exudes a powerful kind of charisma and a certain raw sexuality. He is not showy in any way, but his brooding and quite dark persona can be very magnetic. He is a deeply emotional man, but also a very private one, and it’s hard to get to know him beyond a superficial level. For the Scorpio man, compatibility is about trust, and he won’t allow a woman to meet the real him unless and until she proves worthy.

Playboy with a Purpose Until then, however, the Scorpio man is quite happy to play. He does have a very strong sex drive, and is more than capable of having multiple affairs purely for sexual satisfaction, without ever getting emotionally attached. These affairs don’t fulfil him, however. He’s on the hunt for something much deeper. A playboy, yes, but one with a purpose behind the seduction. Scorpio man compatibility is complex, but essentially he is seeking a woman who is faithful and loyal. The Scorpio man is possessive to a fault, and can fly into a jealous rage at any moment. Many women find this flattering, but it does mask a deeper desire to control the partner; he’s into power games and will always seek the upper hand in a relationship, even if he has to get it by devious means. He can also be very vengeful; for a Scorpio man, compatibility gone wrong means a need to seek retribution. Once you get to know your Scorpio man, you will find him to be direct and honest, with an unnerving ability to know what you’re thinking. If he trusts you, he will reveal his very soul to you, and will expect you to do the same. He is tender and loving, and sexually passionate. He does have a temper, however, and can be prone to dark and obsessive moods as well. Scorpio man compatibility works best with a woman who won’t provoke his jealousy, but who is strong enough to withstand his emotional storms.

42 A Man of Few Words Once in a committed relationship, the Scorpio man is relaxed and happy, if ever watchful. He doesn’t feel the need to tell his partner constantly how much he loves her, as he leaves a lot unspoken – but he does love, very deeply indeed. His deepest emotions will stir at times of great joy, such as the birth of a child, or at times of great trauma, such as during a breakup. Scorpio man compatibility thrives with a partner who doesn’t need to be reassured all the time; that’s simply not his style. He is a very self-sufficient man, and when single he doesn’t really go looking for love, as such. It seems to find him, nonetheless, because of his magnetic aura. If you leave your Scorpio man, however, he will be at his most intense when wounded. He is unlikely to forgive and will almost certainly never forget. If you can stand the heat, however, a relationship with a Scorpio man can be a very beautifully intense thing. Scorpio man compatibility is a wild and tumultuous ride, but one that many women find worth it.

43 Scorpio Man and Aries Woman

When the Scorpio man and the Aries woman fall in love, two very powerful personalities come together. What results is an intriguing and passion fuelled relationship, but not the easiest of rides.

Raw Physical Attraction The Scorpio man is charismatic, mysterious and overtly sexual, which is sure to draw the attention of the confident, independent Aries woman. She exudes determination and self- assurance, which in turn attracts the brooding but inwardly vulnerable Scorpio man. Instant sexual chemistry is highly likely with this couple, as the Scorpio man is one of the most sexual in the zodiac, and the Aries woman enjoys sex every bit as much as you might imagine from a fire sign. Scorpio man Aries woman compatibility is a physical, raw attraction which seems magnetic for both partners. Away from the passion of the bedroom, however, this couple have something else important in common: they are both used to getting their own way. The Scorpio man is determined and has a laser like focus on his objectives. He is not a man who takes no for an answer, and is not above behind the scenes manipulation in order to succeed. The Aries woman too is not used to hearing the word no, although her power grabs are more open and direct than her Scorpio man’s. The trouble is, in a relationship, neither of them can win all of the time. For the Scorpio man and Aries woman, compatibility means a constant battle over who will call the shots.

44 Disagreements over how to run their daily lives will lead to anger for both couples. The Aries woman has a fiery, volatile temper and will regularly throw some spectacular tantrums. She is, however, over it almost as soon as it has begun and won’t hold a grudge. Not so her Scorpio man. His temper is less overt – he will seethe with fury in the background, plotting revenge. And he never forgets, and only rarely forgives. The longer this relationship goes on, the more ammunition the Scorpio man will be storing up – and his Aries woman is likely to be unaware of his growing resentments. For the Scorpio man and Aries woman, compatibility flounders because of the Scorpio man’s inability to move on from a row.

Secret Admiration These two partners will quickly discover that they cannot control each other. For the Aries woman, who always has to win, this is a blow. For the Scorpio man too, he will be dismayed to find that his subtle, behind the scenes power battles don’t seem to be getting anywhere with his strong Aries woman. Secretly, however, this couple will admire each other’s strengths. If they can hold on to that admiration and find, from somewhere, the magnanimous ability to compromise, then this volatile, passionate relationship stands a chance. It is possible to sustain Scorpio man Aries woman compatibility, with effort from both sides. When the relationship is going well and both partner have learned to deal with the other, their shared determination can really help this couple achieve a lot in life. The Aries woman has the courage to leap in and make things happen, while the Scorpio man has the perceptive depths to ensure that she pursues the right goals. It works, when it works. For many a Scorpio man and Aries woman, compatibility however turns out to be something which is simply too hot for either of them to handle in the longer term.

45 Scorpio Man and Taurus Woman

Scorpio and Taurus are opposite signs, and traditionally this means that their relationship stands a good chance. It doesn’t always work out that way, however, and for the Scorpio man and the Taurus woman, this relationship will require a lot of work.

Sulking in Corners Both the Scorpio man and the Taurus woman belong to fixed signs, which means thatboth are somewhat stubborn and dogmatic, famously so in the case of the Taurus woman. They both adopt a position in life and then refuse to budge from it – not so much of a problem if the other partner is happy to meet them half way, but when a fixed sign falls in love with a fixed sign, there’s an awful lot of sulking in corners. It’s clear from the outset that Scorpio man Taurus woman compatibility has this initial hurdle to overcome. There is an attraction here, however. The Scorpio man is an intense, emotional man who has quite an enigmatic aura about him. This is attractive to the Taurus woman because she is seeking a man who takes life seriously; she instinctively knows that the Scorpio man isn’t going to do anything foolish. The Scorpio man, meanwhile, has more than enough drama in his own emotions and doesn’t really want any more in his relationship, so he is drawn to the Taurus woman’s relatively calm and serene demeanor. She seems stable, and he likes that, because deep down he knows he’s not. So on the surface, at least, Scorpio man Taurus woman compatibility provides each partner with something they need. In the bedroom, this couple are extremely sensual; the Scorpio man’s sex drive is legendary (if somewhat exaggerated) and the Taurus woman is an earth sign, and deeply tactile and affectionate. Their sex life binds this couple together strongly, and is a constant in their lives which they come to value highly. So that’s another plus for potential Scorpio man Taurus woman compatibility.

46 True Team Work This couple also share very determined natures. Both will work tirelessly towards what they want in life, and neither rushes into things on a whim. They are quite cautious people, afraid of making mistakes and afraid of getting hurt. They make decisions very differently, however – the Taurus woman is ever practical and pragmatic, while the Scorpio man will rely on his intuition and his instincts. Working together, this water/earth couple could have the best of both worlds, using both their heads and their hearts, which shows how Scorpio man Taurus woman compatibility can give rise to real team work. However, the Scorpio man and the Taurus woman operate on such different emotional levels that it’s tough to see either of them adapting to the other. The Scorpio man’s intense emotional mood swings will eventually exasperate even the Taurus woman’s plentiful patience. The Taurus woman’s placid, common sense handling of her own emotions is completely foreign to the tumultuous Scorpio man, who will after a while start to find his Taurus woman too reserved emotionally, and too uptight. She remains calm on the surface of the ocean, while he plunges regularly to the depths and back again – yes, the Taurus woman can offer the Scorpio man a safe anchorage, but that’s not really what he wants. He wants someone to dive with him, and in Scorpio man Taurus woman compatibility, that’s not what he finds. The Taurus woman will also tire of the Scorpio man’s manipulative streak, being much more open and honest herself. Factor in some extreme jealousy and possessiveness from both partners, and you have quite an unstable relationship with neither partner – fixed signs, remember – willing to compromise. For this reason, Scorpio man Taurus woman compatibility, though passionate, is not really built to last.

47 Scorpio Man and Gemini Woman

The Scorpio man Gemini woman relationship is a water/air combination, which tends to produce either monsoon storms or pretty rainbows, but not both. How does compatibility work for this couple, and can this be a relationship which lasts?

A Slightly Odd Match The initial attraction between the Scorpio man and the Gemini woman is not very clear. The Scorpio guy is a deep thinking, highly emotional man with a very intense, private demeanor. The Gemini woman, on the other hand, is a light and fluffy, sociable, flirtatious woman with an easy approach to life. Both are highly intelligent, but it’s hardly love at first sight. Getting this couple together in the first place could be tricky, since the Scorpio man loathes the Gemini woman’s party persona, and she will find his serious attitude too boring. Scorpio man Gemini woman compatibility may not get off the ground in the first place. If this couple do get together, however, they will learn to appreciate each other’s qualities. Slowly. The Scorpio man can learn to lighten up a little from his Gemini woman’s free and easy nature; the Gemini woman can learn to focus if she appreciates her Scorpio man’s relentless determination. Scorpio man Gemini woman compatibility is far from obvious, however, and the couple will always find each other slightly odd.

48 Light and Shade Part of the problem here is that we’re dealing with probably the most extreme versions of light and shade in the zodiac. The Gemini woman is renowned for her happy go lucky personality and her gregariousness. She is very clever, but quite superficial, never spending long on one subject or with one person. The Scorpio man, in some ways, is her opposite. He has one of the deepest and potentially darkest personalities of all, and he can’t abide superficiality. When he is interested in something or someone, he digs very deep indeed and will not rest until he knows all there is to know. He’s also a very private man and will resent the Gemini woman’s curiosity about him. Scorpio man Gemini woman compatibility is a fundamental mismatch, really. There’s also a lack of an emotional connection. The Scorpio man feels everything very deeply indeed and will want to bond with a woman on that level. The Gemini woman, however, being an air sign, keeps her emotions at arm’s length and will over-analyze the ones she admits to having instead of just living them like the Scorpio man does. She will quickly tire of his emotional moods, and he will quickly tire of her emotional distance and aloofness. For the Scorpio man and Gemini woman, compatibility is neither a meeting for minds nor of hearts. Scorpio man Gemini woman compatibility falters seriously at another level too. The Gemini woman is very flirtatious by nature, whereas the Scorpio man is highly possessive and notoriously jealous. You can see where that will be a problem. Ultimately, this couple are both intelligent enough to see that they’re just not right for each other; they’re far too different and neither provides what the other one wants from a relationship.

49 Scorpio Man and Cancer Woman

What happens when these two water signs fall in love? Is there a torrential downpour on the horizon, or can they set sail down a smoothly flowing river of love? For the Scorpio man and Cancer woman, compatibility is quite an instinctive matter, but can it last?

An Instinctive Match The Scorpio man is attracted to the Cancer woman’s intuition and her loving and nurturing nature. The Cancer woman is attracted to the Scorpio man’s intensity and his swirling emotions – both partners sense that here is someone who will understand them. And indeed, they both know what it’s like to feel strong emotions, and they are both quite moody people, so they do “get” each other on that instinctive level. It would seem that Scorpio man Cancer woman compatibility can get off to a good start. Both partners here are interested in creating a fulfilling, lasting relationship – however, the Cancer woman probably isn’t counting on quite the level of drama which her relationship with a Scorpio man will bring. He is capable of being quite spiteful when the couple fall out, which will hurt her deeply. Although both partners are at the mercy of their emotions, it will be the Cancer woman, belonging as she does to a cardinal sign, who will drag them both out of the depths and back into the light. The Scorpio man admires this in her, and will try not to hurt her – but he has

50 a vengeful streak, and a manipulative one too, and sometimes he just can’t help himself. For these two highly emotional souls, Scorpio man Cancer woman compatibility isn’t a pain free experience.

A Battle For Dominance It will be an intense relationship, both in and out of the bedroom. This couple are very sexually compatible, and can create a very steamy romance, although the Cancer woman would prefer a little more of the traditional romance and a little less of the full on passion. In everyday life, however, she will soon find that she can’t really rely on her Scorpio man in the way she would like to. His co-operation, or not, depends entirely upon his mood, and he can sometimes be very wilful and almost childish in his behavior. For his part, the Scorpio man will not appreciate the tight reign the Cancer woman tries to put on him. He is a very faithful man, and is not likely to stray, but he doesn’t like her possessiveness – even though he is every bit as possessive himself. The Scorpio man dishes out medicine he would prefer not to take. Scorpio man Cancer woman compatibility can quickly become a battle for the upper hand. The question of who is in charge in this relationship is a thorny one. The Scorpio man seeks power and control, and he will manipulate people to get it if necessary. The Cancer woman adopts a more passive aggressive stance to get her own way, but it’s still manipulation of a kind. Both partners will begin to resent the other if they don’t get what they want, and their joint sulks can be legendary. This couple can go for a very long time indeed without speaking to each other! Scorpio man Cancer woman compatibility is therefore not as straightforward as you might imagine, but it can work on a deeply emotional level if the Scorpio man learns to tone down his moods and if the Cancer woman learns to draw the line a little more firmly.

51 Scorpio Man and Leo Woman

The relationship between a Scorpio man and a Leo woman can be a very powerful one, but this couple do have some problems to overcome if they are to create a love which lasts a lifetime.

Power Seeking Couple The Scorpio man and the Leo woman don’t at first appear to have a great deal in common; the Scorpio man is brooding and intense, while the Leo woman is sunny and gregarious. The Scorpio man shuns social gatherings and keeps himself to himself; the Leo woman loves to party and her heart is an open book. So what draws this unlikely couple together? Most likely it is that each senses a certain power in the other. For the Scorpio man and Leo woman, compatibility relies upon the fact that both are seeking power and control in their lives. Once this couple get together, they can create an extremely loving and highly sexual partnership. When the fire and passion of the Leo woman meets the strong sensuality of the Scorpio man in the bedroom, the result will delight both of them. Beyond the bedroom, however, there are a few problems to overcome if Scorpio man Leo woman compatibility is to thrive. For a start, the Leo woman likes to be adored. Constantly. The Scorpio man may well adore her, but he doesn’t say so often enough. Secondly, the Scorpio man is prone to some very deep and dark moods, which trouble the Leo woman’s sunny disposition. She will always reach out to her Scorpio man in his darker moments and will try to help him find his way back to the light, but he may grow to resent her interventions when he would rather simply be left alone. If the Scorpio man refuses to pander to the Leo woman’s ego and also rejects her attempts to help him, cracks will begin to show in Scorpio man Leo woman compatibility.

52 A Richly Successful Match The Scorpio man is a very jealous and possessive individual, but that could actually work in his favor in this relationship. Although he doesn’t flatter the Leo woman in the way she wants to be flattered, she will take his jealousy as a form of flattery and this may satisfy her need to be adored. Given that both partners in this relationship are highly determined people, this relationship could well go places; the Scorpio man and the Leo woman can create a very materially successful relationship, which will suit both of them down to the ground. Despite conflicts over the amount of social time they have to share with others, Scorpio man Leo woman compatibility can actually work rather well, thanks largely to the Leo woman’s big heart. She will learn to understand her Scorpio man’s moods and emotional depths, and although she doesn’t share them, she will make allowances for them, which really must be a sign of her love – she is a fixed sign, and typically makes allowances for nobody. For his part, the Scorpio man will learn to understand that he needs to make his love for his Leo woman more obvious, and will attempt to be more demonstrative – again, as a fixed sign, the fact that he is willing to change for his Leo woman is a very good sign indeed for Scorpio man Leo woman compatibility. By and large then, this can be a good natured and passionate relationship, in which each partners tries to accommodate the other. If both the Scorpio man and the Leo woman are willing to continue to adapt, they could suit each other very well indeed for the long term.

53 Scorpio Man and Virgo Woman

Despite the fact that they appear to outsiders to have little in common, the relationship between a Scorpio man and a Virgo woman can be very strong. Let’s take a closer look at how this surprising compatibility pans out.

Shared Depths of Honesty The Scorpio man and the Virgo woman are both quite reserved in company, but it seems that both find each other intriguing and want to find out what lies behind their respective masks. They appreciate the lack of flashy behaviour and each partner senses an integrity in the other which they have been seeking. There’s also a depth of shared honesty here, because neither of the these people lie very easily. Scorpio man Virgo woman compatibility may be mysterious to the rest of us, but it seems to make sense to them. Once this couple get together, they will quickly become devoted to each other. The Scorpio man will go to the ends of the earth to defend his loved ones, and rapidly becomes the Virgo woman’s biggest champion. She in turn is utterly devoted to those she loves, and will never waver in her support for her Scorpio man. This is an earth water match, and their sexual compatibility is strong too. The Virgo woman is not as virginal as she seems; she trusts the Scorpio man and that allows her inner sensuality to shine through. The Scorpio man is a highly sexual being, but his passion with his Virgo woman is surprisingly tender and romantic. For the Scorpio man and Virgo woman, compatibility in the bedroom just reinforces what they instinctively already knew about each other.

54 The Scorpio man loves the Virgo woman’s highly perceptive mind; he feels as if she can see through to the core of him in a way that others can’t, and rather than bothering him, he’s delighted by this. The Virgo woman adores the Scorpio man’s view of the world, and is both moved and intrigued by his depth of emotions; she also loves the way he digs so deeply into any given subject, and shares her attention to detail. For the Scorpio man and Virgo woman, compatibility involves a meeting of minds as well as bodies.

Pragmatism and Tolerance One thing the Scorpio man will not love, however, is the Virgo woman’s tendency to nag. He’s not going to change for anyone, not even her, and he could grow to resent her constant suggestions for improvement. Mostly, however, he will just smile wryly and then carry on doing his own thing; his tolerance for the Virgo woman exceeds his tolerance for most other people. The Virgo woman for her part can sometimes lose patience with her Scorpio guy’s moods and his lack of rationality, but she is so devoted to him that she will quickly come back round. She is pragmatic enough to cope with his occasional spiteful retort, and he is sincere enough to try hard not to hurt her. Scorpio man Virgo woman compatibility is helped by the Virgo woman being a mutable, flexible sign, willing to adapt to this emotional journey, and it’s also helped by the Scorpio man’s intense and honest love for his partner. So for a couple who didn’t appear to have that much in common, Scorpio man and Virgo woman compatibility is actually a very strong match. This couple can remain quietly, privately and tenderly devoted to one another for a very long time indeed.

55 Scorpio Man and Libra Woman

The Scorpio man and Libra woman’s romance is an idealistic one which works reasonably well on paper. On practice, however, this water/air couple will need some patience to work out the kinks in their relationship.

A Slightly Wary Dance The Libra woman is drawn to the Scorpio man because of his brooding intensity, and because he’s the epitome of a troubled romantic hero. She’s drawn initially to his persona or his mask, because he won’t show his real self until he trusts her. The Scorpio man, meanwhile, is charmed by the Libra woman’s easy grace and her friendliness, even in the face of his somewhat surly behavior. He’s intrigued by her, and intrigue always turns on the Scorpio guy. Scorpio man Libra woman compatibility is a slightly wary dance to begin with, but soon warms up. Once she gets to know him, the Libra woman will discover that her Scorpio man is every bit as brooding and intense as she thought, with added spice. His jealousy fury will take her by surprise, however, although she will find it quite flattering. Once he gets to know her, the Scorpio man will discover that his Libra woman has a lot of intellectual flair and that she shares his passion for justice and fairness. Scorpio man Libra woman compatibility runs deeper than either partner would have initially thought.

56 You might think that the gentle Libra woman would be intimidated by the Scorpio man’s power, but she isn’t. She is stronger than she looks, and she will merely shake her head and go back to reading her book when one of his sulks sets in. He likes this in her – he struggles with women who go to pieces when he gets cross. You also might think that the intense Scorpio man would soon bore of the Libra woman’s slightly superficial preoccupations – but he doesn’t. He probes and guides and brings out the deeper elements of her ideas, and truly appreciates them. Scorpio man Libra woman compatibility is actually better on a mental level than a physical one, where the Scorpio man’s lustful nature is slightly too much for the Libra woman’s airy, romantic ideals.

Neighboring Sign Compatibility This is a couple which can learn a great deal from each other. The Libra woman can teach the Scorpio man to analyze his feelings a little more rationally, and to create a more balanced and harmonious emotional life. The Scorpio man can open the Libra woman’s eyes to a whole new set of interests, and will undertake a fascinating intellectual journey with her. Together, they are able to use determination and flair to bring about their idealistic goals, which can be good for humanity, let alone good for the couple themselves. Scorpio man Libra woman compatibility is an example of neighboring sign compatibility which can definitely be made to work. The Scorpio man should learn to provide some verbal reassurance to his Libra woman about how much he loves her, because she needs that. The Libra woman should learn to make a decision and go for it, rather than constantly annoy her Scorpio man with her indecision – but if the couple can manage that, then this can be a very mutually beneficial and friendly relationship. Scorpio man Libra woman compatibility definitely has potential.

57 Scorpio Man and Scorpio Woman

When two Scorpions fall in love, the relationship is very much like what happens when two real Scorpions meet – this couple will spend a great deal of time circling each other warily, well aware of the power each one has to truly wound the other.

An Instinctive Understanding Scorpio man Scorpio woman compatibility is strong on an instinctive level, of course, like all same sign relationships, because the couple truly understand one another. For this couple, however, their initial getting together is likely to be quite slow and cautious. They’re not really sure if they want to take the risk of a relationship; if either has ever had a relationship with a fellow Scorpio before, they’ll probably be very wary of going through all that again. Once the Scorpio man Scorpio woman relationship is underway, it will be a very private affair. This couple present an inscrutable mask to outsiders, who may never truly know what’s going on. Behind closed doors, it’s an exceptionally passionate relationship, of course – what else would we expect from two partners belonging to this most sexual of signs? It’s also a very tempestuous one, with both partners plumbing the depths of passion with their tempers and sulks too, and imagined slights setting off chain reactions of emotional responses. Scorpio man Scorpio woman compatibility is never going to be smooth ride.

58 Searing Intensity There’s absolutely nothing casual about this relationship, but its searing intensity can work for both good and for ill. The couple share enormous will power and determination, and they can choose to use that either to build the relationship or to destroy it. Unfortunately, for the majority of Scorpio-Scorpio couples, the intensity seems to be too much in the end and Scorpio man Scorpio woman compatibility often fails to last the distance, leaving two very wounded people in its wake. Part of the problem arises from the tendency both the Scorpio man and the Scorpio woman have to hide their true feelings. This can give rise to a series of misunderstandings between them, which both of them will resent and for which both will want revenge. This couple try to manipulate each other, forgetting that they’re both masters at this game. Being a fixed sign, both the Scorpio man and the Scorpio woman arevery slow to make the first move towards a reconciliation, and both find it very hard to forgive and forget. Scorpio man Scorpio woman compatibility is undoubtedly magnetic, and this is a couple which can, if they get the magic right, soar to heights few other couples can match. They do know instinctively how to hurt one another, though, and for this tempestuous water/water match, the emotions sometimes simply run too deep for either partner to successfully handle.

59 Scorpio Man and Sagittarius Woman

The Scorpio man and the Sagittarius woman create a water/fire sign match, which is renowned for producing a steamy relationship in terms of sexual compatibility. Outside the bedroom, though, does this couple have what it takes?

An Element of Danger The dark, brooding and intense Scorpio man seems an unlikely attraction for the free-ranging, uninhibited Sagittarius woman. She exudes joie-de-vivre, in stark contrast to his serious demeanor, and yet she finds something fascinating about him – perhaps she senses an element of danger from the Scorpion, which appeals to her sense of risk. It’s harder to see what attracts the Scorpio man to the Sagittarius woman, although her love of life and her good nature are infectious to all around her. However Scorpio man Sagittarius woman compatibility gets started, it’s sure to progress pretty quickly to the bedroom. The Scorpio man’s strong sex drive is a good match for the passionate Sagittarius woman, and if compatibility were based on sex alone, these two would have few worries. Unfortunately, it isn’t – it’s based on share values and shared emotional perspectives, which this couple really do lack. The Scorpio man wants to be in control of his life – and in control of his lover. The Sagittarius woman is controlled by nobody, and wants freedom at all costs. Her refusal to settle down will inspire great jealousy and possessiveness in the Scorpio man, and unlike many woman, she does not find this remotely flattering, just annoying. Scorpio man Sagittarius woman compatibility struggles with a perpetual control vs freedom theme.

60 Potential for Pain Although the Scorpio man admires the Sagittarius woman’s pioneering, questing nature in theory, he struggles to cope with it in practice. She doesn’t want to put down roots. Nor does he, necessarily, as such – but his emotions plumb the depths of the ocean floor, and every time she wants to move on, he has to climb back to the surface and start all over again. It’s emotionally exhausting for him, and his resentment will quickly kick in. For her part, the Sagittarius woman simply doesn’t understand her Scorpio man’s moods. It’s really not necessary to be that emotionally dramatic, she feels. Why can’t he just get over it? She is impatient with his feelings, and that really doesn’t bode well for Scorpio man Sagittarius woman compatibility. The problem for this couple is that both can hurt each other very badly. The Sagittarius woman can be very, very blunt. Although the Scorpio man appreciates he honesty, there’s no denying that it hurts. The Scorpio man can be very vengeful and spiteful, which mystifies the open and honest Sagittarius woman, confuses her and hurts her. When the relationship goes through a bad patch, Scorpio man Sagittarius woman compatibility will be very rough indeed. There seems to be a fundamental mismatch between the dark, emotional depths of the Pluto ruled Scorpio man and the jovial, optimistic and forthright nature of the Jupiter ruled Sagittarius woman. They do respect each other, and they quite like each other too, but whether they can really create a love which lasts a lifetime seems doubtful. The Scorpio man is a conquest too far for the Sagittarius woman, and the Sagittarius woman is just too bright and breezy for the intense Scorpio man. Scorpio man Sagittarius woman compatibility is likely to be a relatively fleeting thing.

61 Scorpio Man and Capricorn Woman

The Scorpio man and the Capricorn woman are both very determined and focused individuals. What happens when they both focus on loving each other? Can this water earth partnership live up to each partner’s demanding expectations?

A Hard Working Couple There is a strong attraction between the Scorpio man and the Capricorn woman. Both are quite reserved in public, and guard their emotions. Both take life seriously, and each partner senses that the other is someone who can be trusted. Because this is a water/earth partnership, the couple are strongly sexually compatible, and it is this physical attraction which probably brings them together in the first place. Scorpio man Capricorn woman compatibility may begin in the bedroom, but can it survive elsewhere? This couple are likely to be among the hardest working couples you will meet. The Scorpio man seeks emotional security, and is prepared to work hard to ensure that he gets it. The Capricorn woman seeks material security, and is likewise devoted to meeting that need. Exceptionally determined and very focused, this couple are likely to have a good standard of living and some considerable earning power. So Scorpio man Capricorn woman compatibility works in the bedroom and it works in the boardroom, but how about on an emotional level? This is where the couple are likely to run into difficulties.The Scorpio man is exceptionally intense and highly emotional at all times. The Capricorn woman is quite emotionally distant, aloof even, and keeps her emotions under strict control at all times. The Scorpio man seeks a woman who can share his depth of feeling, but he’s likely to be disappointed by the Capricorn woman’s cool response.

62 She is likely to be alarmed by his emotional instability, and will try hard to distance herself from him when he turns a mood on, instead of sympathizing or reaching out to him. Scorpio man Capricorn woman compatibility flounders when it comes to a shared emotional response.

Manipulative Power Grabs There is another potential trouble spot too: who’s in charge in this relationship? This matters a lot for the Scorpio man and the Capricorn woman, who are both used to getting their own way. The Scorpio man tries to manipulate his way to power subtly, while the Capricorn woman just assumes control with an air of inner authority; neither partner will like being told what to do by the other, and the Scorpio man in particular will resent being treated like a junior partner. The Capricorn woman can’t help being bossy by nature, but she won’t make any effort to soften it for her Scorpio man, thus compounding this particular problem for Scorpio man Capricorn woman compatibility. Perhaps this relationship works best when we’re talking about a power couple. If both are devoted to their careers, and rarely spend time together, they will both make more of an effort to get along on an emotional level. For a couple with more mundane jobs, however, the constant power struggles and the lack of an emotional connection make Scorpio man Capricorn woman compatibility very tricky indeed.

63 Scorpio Man and Aquarius Woman

What happens when one of the most emotional signs falls in love with one of the most aloof? The result for Scorpio man Aquarius woman compatibility is far from clear, but it is clear that this relationship will be a struggle for both partners – and not necessarily one which they will feel is worth their while.

Little Common Ground There appears to be little common ground between the Scorpio man and the Aquarius woman. Although the Scorpio man admires the Aquarius woman’s intelligence, and she in turn admires the Scorpio man’s inner strength, there isn’t much of an emotional connection here. The Scorpio man’s intense feelings are alien to the Aquarius woman, and her cool-handed detachment from her emotions is not something the Scorpio man can – or indeed would want to – understand. Scorpio man Aquarius woman compatibility may struggle to get off the ground at all. When this couple do fall in love, however, they may suffer from a sexual mismatch too. The Scorpio man is a strongly sexual being, but the Aquarius woman views sex as just another intellectual hobby. Where she trusts the Scorpio man enough to really open up to him, he can deeper her emotions slightly and allow her to explore some off-the-wall fantasies, which he’ll be more than happy to indulge….but passion isn’t one of the defining characteristics of this odd relationship. Scorpio man Aquarius woman compatibility certainly isn’t held together by their sex life. It also isn’t held together by a mutual respect. The Aquarius woman values her freedom at all costs, and will not curb that in order to please her jealous Scorpio man. The Scorpio man demands an emotional commitment which he simply won’t get from the Aquarius woman – and what’s more, her take it or leave it attitude will wound his pride and inspire resentment in him.

64 It’s worth remembering that both the Scorpio man and the Aquarius woman belong to fixed signs, and neither is very happy about compromise. Which is a shame, because without a whole lot of compromise, it seems unlikely that Scorpio man Aquarius woman compatibility is going to go very far.

Instinct or Brains? The Scorpio man’s unfathomable moods will soon become a millstone around the Aquarius woman’s neck. She will try to reason with him, and to help him analyze his feelings – but she doesn’t understand that he doesn’t want to analyze them, he just wants to live them and he wants her to live them with him. That’s not happening. For his part, the Scorpio man will try to teach the Aquarius woman the value of listening to her intuition and her instinct, but he can’t get through to her super-rational world, and besides, she doesn’t want to live by her instincts, she wants to live by her brains. Scorpio man Aquarius woman compatibility suffers at this very basic level. Since neither partner is willing to meet the other half way, and since they fundamentally just don’t “get” each other, it’s not likely that Scorpio man Aquarius woman compatibility can stand the test of time. It’s possible, of course, where true love exists, but this couple have so little in common even on a sexual level that there’s really not much left to bring them together.

65 Scorpio Man and Pisces Woman

The Scorpio man and the Pisces woman share a watery, emotional bond which is quite unfathomable to more rational signs. Whether that bond is pragmatic enough to sustain a lifetime relationship, however, is open to question.

Deeply Emotional Bond The Scorpio man adores the Pisces woman. He loves her spiritual depths, her imagination and her willingness to give herself up to her emotions. The Pisces woman, in return, adores the Scorpio man. She is fascinated by his inner power, his charisma and his fearless approach to the deepest of emotions. This couple feel safe with each other and the Pisces woman brings out the Scorpio man’s protective instincts too. It’s a deeply emotional relationship, but Scorpio man Pisces woman compatibility seems to have a lot going for it. When it comes to sexual compatibility, the Scorpio man and the Pisces woman are well matched. They are both romantic beings, especially the Pisces woman, and their sex life can be magical, filled with fantasy and tenderness. Another good point for Scorpio man Pisces woman compatibility, then – so where’s the catch?

66 An Exercise in Sadness? Perhaps the most difficult aspect of Scorpio man Pisces woman compatibility is the same as the most obvious attraction – their shared depth of emotions. It’s all lovely when life is rosy, but during difficult times,both the Scorpio man and the Pisces woman are prone to depressive episodes, and both can let worries and tension get the better of them. The Scorpio man is a fixed sign, and struggles to lift himself, let alone anyone else, yet he is so moved by the Pisces woman’s despair that he will use all of his inner resourcefulness to help the couple find a way to move forwards. Sometimes he can. Sometimes, he can’t. Scorpio man Pisces woman compatibility is by no means guaranteed to survive trouble. Because both partners in this relationship are so emotional, this can also become a slightly joy-less union. The Scorpio man is always prone to looking on the dark side of life, and his Pisces woman is quite gullible, reflective and easily influenced – before long, she’ll be brooding on misery too, and then where’s the love and laughter gone? If this couple don’t take active steps to avoid it, Scorpio man Pisces woman compatibility can quickly become an exercise in sadness. Nonetheless, the couple do have that strong emotional bond and this relationship is underpinned by genuine love and respect. It’s a mystical and spiritual relationship, and this couple will enjoy exploring their spirituality together. If they can find serenity through meditation or tai chi, perhaps, this might provide them with the emotional anchor they both need to see them through the tough times. Scorpio man Pisces woman compatibility is strong, it’s just a question of whether it’s positive enough to see them through the negativity life will inevitably at some point bring.

67 Scorpio Woman

The Scorpio woman is very intense, very direct and very sexual. If she is single and looking for love, she’ll be upfront about her intentions, whether she’s interested in you just for the night or potentially forever. She is a highly passionate woman, and in some ways the archetypal femme fatale – irresistible, yet something of an enigma and dangerous when scorned. Scorpio woman compatibility is quite demanding, but highly rewarding for the right kind of man.

Wild Moods The typical Scorpio woman is very independent and self-sufficient. She doesn’t actually need a man, so if she chooses you she expects you to take it as a compliment. She is tactile, expressive and emotional, and will lead you to both the highest highs and the lowest lows. Prone to depression and unpredictable moods, she is nonetheless a delight to be around when she’s feeling good – it’s her partner’s job to keep her feeling that way, if he values his peace and quiet. For the Scorpio woman, compatibility can sometimes be as simple as knowing when to leave her alone and when to make her feel special. Her moods are complex. As you get to know your Scorpio woman, you’ll quickly discover that she’s a law unto herself. She is a deeply ethical person, but her values are her own and may not match society’s. She will not conform or do as she’s told, but she can be very manipulative in getting her own way and is not above using sex as a weapon to do so. Ordinarily, however, she does not flirt – she doesn’t need to. She has an aura which finds men falling at her feet; it’s a combination of sexuality and power which is unique to the Scorpio female. In order to work best, Scorpio woman compatibility requires her male partner to understand her deeply.

68 Brooding Personality Single minded, determined and ambitious, the Scorpio woman is a force to be reckoned with, but once in a committed relationship, she becomes more relaxed and more open to fun. She will always be an intense personality, but she broods less when she’s happy, and is genuinely tender and sincere to her lover. Wrong her at your peril, however, since her vengeful tendencies are legendary. In a happy relationship, the Scorpio woman is a great Mom and an inventive, intensely supportive partner. She doesn’t like men who need babying, but she does appreciate hard work and effort, and will be your right hand woman if you’re trying to achieve something tangible. She appreciates her partner’s romantic efforts, but likes to take the upper hand in any decisions about the relationship. For a Scorpio woman, compatibility is an ever-changing business; as her moods change, so does what she wants from her partner, which can be a very difficult thing for the partner to manage. Nonetheless, she is deeply loving. For a man who can handle the intensity, Scorpio woman compatibility can be the emotional experience of a lifetime.

69 Aries Man and Scorpio Woman

The Aries man is used to being the alpha male, but in the Scorpio woman he may have met his match. She is a powerful and magnetic woman in her own right, and she will not tolerate the Aries man’s childishness or selfishness – yet he is irresistibly drawn to her. Will he mend his ways, or will she subdue her own passions in order to do as she’s told by the Aries guy boss?

Powerful Individuals In truth, neither. The Aries man Scorpio woman relationship can be a fascinating but tumultuous one, but compatibility here is surprisingly strong. The key is that both of these characters are independent in their own ways, and both are individuals with enormous reserves of inner strength. Aries man Scorpio woman compatibility is packed with intensity, but it works where there is mutual respect and honesty. Sexually, this affair is extremely passionate and searingly deep. The Aries man has a huge sex drive, while the Scorpio woman has an almost legendary reputation as a femme fatale or seductress. There’s very little these two won’t get up to in the privacy of their own home, and this alone is a very strong bond. There’s a great deal of emotional rawness about their relationship too. The Scorpio woman’s depth of feeling is incredible and she will move heaven and earth to be with her Aries man if that’s what she decides she wants. She makes the Aries man feel emotions more powerfully than he’s ever experienced before, which is intoxicating to him. There’s a sound astrological reason why Aries man Scorpio woman compatibility is so strong – Aries is ruled by Mars, and Scorpio was too, before the discovery of Pluto. It’s this deep, strong driving force which they both have in common; they share an understanding of what it’s like to live on a rollercoaster.

70 Jealousy, Anger and Grudges There will be rows – oh, the rows. The Scorpio woman is exceptionally jealous and will seethe with fury if she feels her Aries man is flirting elsewhere. He in turn will feel his pride and masculinity wounded when he sees other men falling at her feet – there will always be a competitive edge between these two, and it’s likely to be based on sex or sexuality. Screaming rages are the norm in this household, but the passionate making up afterwards is also sincere and heartfelt. They don’t stay angry with one another for long, although the Scorpio woman does bear grudges and may well infuriate the Aries man by bringing up his misdemeanors from years ago. When they set their joint hearts on something – whether it’s personal ambitions, family goals or a joint business – very little can stand in the way of the Aries man and Scorpio woman combination. They are a formidable team. Dynamic and expressive as parents, they live by their own rules and care little for how society says their family unit should behave. For the Aries man and Scorpio woman, compatibility really can last a lifetime – although the casual observer might be forgiven for wondering how they manage to stick it out given the intensity of their arguments!

71 Taurus Man and Scorpio Woman

Taurus and Scorpio are opposite signs, which normally means that compatibility is hot, hot, hot – and so it is for this pair, although whether that’s hot in a good way or hot in a seared painfully into your skin way is open to debate! For the Taurus man and Scorpio woman, compatibility isn’t easy, but when these two have had a relationship, neither will ever forget it.

When Fixed Signs Lock Horns Both Taurus and Scorpio are fixed signs, which perhaps gets to the root of the potential problem with this match. Both the Taurus man and the Scorpio woman are extremely stubborn; both want to do things their way, or not at all. When the bull and the scorpion lock weapons, it’s a sure fire thing that both will be wounded in one way or another. And yet, there’s a magnetic attraction here. It’s as if they find it so hard to live with one another, yet cannot live without each other either. Taurus man and Scorpio woman compatibility is electrifying, exhilarating and frankly terrifying at times. The Scorpio woman is soulful, mysterious and extremely sexual. She’s a very private woman, but something about the manly Taurus man hits all the right buttons, and for him, she will open up like never before. The Taurus man is a straightforward and down to earth kind of a guy, but the Scorpio woman’s depths intrigue and fascinate him. For the Scorpio woman, the Taurus man is prepared to take a walk on the wild side – and she quickly becomes addictive for him. Taurus man Scorpio woman compatibility is very sexual and physical – don’t forget that Taurus is an earthy, sensual sign, and of course, Scorpio’s sex appeal is legendary.

72 Keeping Each Other Close As well as sharing a certain sensuality and a refusal to do as they’re told, the Taurus man and Scorpio woman also share a jealous and possessive instinct. In this partnership, neither partner will be allowed off the leash; both the Taurus man and the Scorpio woman will keep each other close. Any hint of flirting will send either or both into paroxysms of jealousy and fury, adding yet another layer of volatility to this already tempestuous pairing. Taurus man Scorpio woman compatibility is anything but peaceful. It’s not that either partner has a temper as such – not in a hot-headed fire sign kind of way, at least. Both partner’s tempers are slow burning, but their emotions run very deep indeed. The Taurus man can easily become resentful, and the Scorpio woman is often vengeful. When these partners do not see eye to eye, they can cause tremendous emotional pain to one another. But no matter how rocky the road, for the Taurus man and Scorpio woman, compatibility still exists at a very deep level. These two will find it hard to leave each other. When the relationship is going well, the Taurus man and Scorpio woman each offer the other something which is missing from their lives. The Scorpio woman teaches the Taurus man how to explore the depths of his emotions; the Taurus man teachers the Scorpio woman to be a little more emotionally stable and structured. They’re good for each other, when the weather is fine. When the relationship turns sour, however, both partners will be left wounded and scarred. For the Taurus man and Scorpio woman, compatibility is not something to be taken lightly.

73 Gemini Man and Scorpio Woman

There are a lot of obvious differences between the Gemini personality and the Scorpio personality, and at first glance, this couple don’t have a great deal in common. They do find themselves drawn together, however, and this is a relationship which can surprise everyone. For the Gemini man and Scorpio woman, compatibility is unstable and unpredictable…but they quite like it that way.

Unwilling to Share The Scorpio woman is intensely emotional and very full on. In a relationship with a Gemini man, she will insist upon his undivided attention; or at least, she’ll try to. In reality, she’ll have to share his attention with his friends, his mother and his job, which is likely to send her into many a searing sulk. Their social life isn’t without issue either, since the Scorpio woman, a very private lady, would prefer to stay in with her man, while the Gemini man wants to be out and about mixing and mingling. Gemini man Scorpio woman compatibility will involve compromises about how much time this couple spends alone together. When they argue (which is often) it will appear that the Gemini man wins every time. After all, he’s the intellectual, and he paints such a logical picture that the Scorpio woman is hard pressed to win. She, however, is a woman who knows how to bide her time. She may have to give in there and then, in the moment, but she broods, and she will know how to get her own back in due course. For the Gemini man and Scorpio woman, compatibility often takes the form of an extended power play, with the Gemini guy winning on the face of things, but the Scorpio woman manipulating things behind the scenes.

74 Sexually, it will always be the Scorpio woman who takes the lead in this relationship. She is very sexual and very sensual, and she brings a huge depth of emotion to the couple’s love life. She’s likely to find the Gemini guy rather superficial in this area, though, and a little too lightweight. He doesn’t provide the emotional connection she wants; at least, not always. It’s this difference between searingly intense emotions and relative coolness which can prove a true problem for Gemini man Scorpio woman compatibility. This is an air and water mix, which can result in a storm full of passion and angst, or it can result in a rainbow – but when the dark and intense Scorpio woman is involved, rainbows can be hard to come by.

Jealousy vs Fickleness Jealousy can be another real problem for this couple. The Scorpio woman is one of the most jealous women around, and she will struggle to tolerate the Gemini man’s flirtatious nature. She finds him rather too fickle, and he fails to take their relationship seriously sometimes, which maddens her. She gives her all to the relationship, and to find him joking about it is just more than she can bear. For the Gemini man and Scorpio woman, compatibility is a very on-off affair, therefore. There will be plenty of arguments and breakups, yet this couple always seem to get back together again. Why? Probably because each has something the other needs. The Scorpio woman needs and admires the Gemini man’s deft touch with communication. He in turn needs to understand more about his own emotional depths, which she can teach him. Despite being one of the more tempestuous zodiac relationships, long term Gemini man Scorpio woman compatibility stands a better chance than you might think.

75 Cancer Man and Scorpio Woman

Cancer and Scorpio are both water signs, so you might think that this couple’s compatibility will be easy. It’s certainly deep and emotional, but for the Cancer man and Scorpio woman, compatibility is just as much a tropical storm as it is a gently flowing river.

Deep and Intuitive Understanding There is an instant attraction between this couple, as there usually is when a couple share the same element. They “get” one another, and they know what it’s like to feel deeply and intuitively. Both the Cancer man and the Scorpio woman are very loyal too, so once this relationship has got off the ground, the couple will defend one another’s interests and will always try to present a united front in public. As far as the rest of us are aware, Cancer man Scorpio woman compatibility is blissful. Behind closed doors, however, it’s another story. The Cancer man is very moody and changeable, veering from good moods to bad and back again. The Scorpio woman is nowhere near as moody, but instead operates from just one setting: full on intensity. She can be very cutting and vengeful when she feels that her Cancer man has done her wrong, which will be very wounding to him as a sensitive soul. She does do her best to deal with his fluctuating moods, but will quickly lose patience on that front. For the Cancer man and Scorpio woman, compatibility can sometimes be a frustrating affair. Highly sexually compatible, however, these two create a sizzling and steamy match in the bedroom. The Scorpio woman is a very sexual creature, and the Cancer man brings emotional depth to match her own, plus an added touch of romance. Unfortunately, the Scorpio woman’s jealous nature can go too far in this relationship.

76 The Cancer man is unlikely to stray once he’s happily committed, but the Scorpio woman is forever seeing conspiracies and mystery and intrigue, and she won’t always believe his protestations of innocence. This will both his dignity and honesty, and he’ll be very hurt by her accusations. This is a shame, since elsewhere in the relationship Cancer man and Scorpio woman compatibility highlights a deep bond of mutual trust.

A Private Relationship Together, this couple can reach new emotional heights. The problem is, they can also plumb new depths. When the Cancer man’s worries get out of control, the Scorpio woman is little help in grounding him, since she has more than enough of her own angst to deal with. Meanwhile, once she gets into one of her seething tantrums, the Cancer man will struggle to get her back again. He does have an inner shrewdness beneath all that watery emotion, and if he’s wise he’ll learn a trick or two to calm her down – but still, Cancer man and Scorpio woman compatibility is nothing if not tempestuous. Since both partners are private individuals, the outside world won’t know much about this relationship. Friends and family will see the red eyes or the pointed silences after a row, but may never know what it was about. And, more to the point, soon enough the Cancer man and the Scorpio woman will be back in the bedroom to make amends in the best way they know how. The Cancer guy should be aware, however, that his Scorpio lady does bear grudges, and she has a very long memory. Any hopes he has of putting major problems behind them may be scuppered by this. When Cancer man Scorpio woman compatibility works out, this can be an intense and powerful relationship, which will change both partners for the better. The Scorpio woman will learn to be a little less demanding and little more open; the Cancer man will learn the true power of his emotions and figure out how to embrace them. It’s torrid and full of tears, but this couple really can make it through their stormy seas and sail off into the rainbow at the other side.

77 Leo Man and Scorpio Woman

The relationship between a Leo man and a Scorpio woman is a powerful and intense one, punctuated by great highs and great lows. In their own ways, these are two of the strongest individuals in the zodiac, so this is never going to be a peaceful, event-free love affair, but can Leo man Scorpio woman compatibility sustain this couple through a lifetime together?

Chemistry and Magnetism The first thing to note between the Leo man and the Scorpio woman is a huge amount of chemistry and magnetic attraction. Sexually, as a fire sign and water sign match, these two are highly compatible, and create a steamy match in the bedroom, with great passion as well as a surprising level of tenderness. It’s in their everyday lives, beyond their sex lives, however, where for the Leo man and Scorpio woman, compatibility can be a hard won thing. The Leo man is a very proud and egotistical individual, and he wants a woman who will absolutely adore him. The Scorpio woman is a deeply emotional woman but she would never stoop to flattery or ego massage, and as such she fails to provide this overt support that her partner seeks. She in turn seeks a partner who is not afraid to explore the emotional depths and who can journey with her through her moods, sometimes visiting some pretty dark places.

78 The Leo man, ruled by the Sun, can’t be doing with all that. He wants to bring love and light and laughter to his world, and he can’t understand that for the Scorpio woman, this isn’t enough. This couple sees the world through very different emotional filters, and for that reason Leo man Scorpio woman compatibility is always going to be slightly edgy and unstable.

Heaven or Hell Given that the Leo man has a roaring temper and the Scorpio woman can be vengeful and spiteful when provoked, their relationship is punctuated by great drama. Whether they’re on top of the world or locked in their own private hell, it’s never just OK. Part of the problem is that the Leo man is used to being the boss, but the Scorpio woman is also used to getting her own way. She cannot win an outright fight with her bossy, autocratic man – but she can win by subtly manipulating him, and when he finds out what’s going on, he’ll be furious. Leo man Scorpio woman compatibility is very much a match of equals, and to be honest, neither partner deals well with that. Both Leo and Scorpio are fixed signs, which tells us thatneither member of this partnership will want to be the first to give way. There is another very strong similarity too – although Leo is a fire sign and Scorpio is a water sign, Scorpio’s historic ruling planet was Mars, bringer of fire and war – so the Scorpio woman has fire traits in her personality too, which helps to explain why this relationship is so tempestuous and so full on. It’s like a mix of fire and fire, with the added complication of some extremely emotional watery depths. For the Leo man and Scorpio woman, this dramatic relationship could well turn out to be unfathomable. They don’t seem to be able to get along together – but nor do they want to be apart.

79 Virgo Man and Scorpio Woman

What on earth would bring a Virgo man and a Scorpio woman together, you may wonder. How does one of the sexiest signs in the zodiac end up paired with one of the most inhibited? And how does that work? Surprisingly, the Virgo man and the Scorpio woman have more in common than you might think.

A Dignified Affair Both the Virgo man and the Scorpio woman are deeply private individuals who value their dignity. Neither are showy or flamboyant in public, and both present with an air of mystique about them, and a certain inscrutability. It’s this very air of mystery which attracts them to each other, in fact. When the Virgo man and the Scorpio woman meet, each will wonder what lies beneath the other’s mask. Virgo man Scorpio woman compatibility begins as a bit of a quest to get to know the private individual seated across from each partner. Once this couple do get to know each other a little, they will both find it much easier to drop their guard for each other than for some other people. Both are secure in the knowledge that their innermost secrets are not going to be blabbed, and that the other person isn’t going to do anything foolish. And as the couple relax more and more, they’ll find that they admire quite a lot about each other. The Scorpio woman, deep, intense and emotionally volatile, admires the Virgo man’s self control, his work ethic and his self discipline. He in turn, hard working but emotionally uptight, admires his Scorpio woman’s fearlessness and her ability to live through her emotions. Virgo man Scorpio woman compatibility can quickly turn into a mutual fan club.

80 At the most basic level, both the Virgo man and the Scorpio woman are deeply loyal individuals. Both will fight for their partner and neither are interested in idle flirtations or short lived love affairs. There’s a basic integrity in both partners which the other recognizes and applauds. This will not be a very sociable love affair. Virgo man Scorpio woman compatibility involves the ability and the desire to spend a very long time alone together, without needing to seek out friends or family. In the worst case scenario, the relationship can also be secretive in a destructive way, and it can be hard for the Virgo man in particular to speak out about any abuse or problems within the relationship. Most of the time, of course, it doesn’t come to that, and the couple simply enjoy a very private affair.

Order or Power or Both? The Scorpio woman can be extremely moody, but the Virgo man is ruled by Mercury and he’s not phased by changeable moods. Nor is he impressed by her drama – he is as perceptive as she is, and can see straight through to the heart of the matter. He knows when her histrionics are put on and he knows when he’s being manipulated. Despite not being your typical alpha male, the Virgo man is no pushover for the Scorpio woman, and she appreciates and respects that. For the Virgo man and Scorpio woman, compatibility is well matched in a non-obvious, beneath the surface manner. When the Virgo man gets himself stuck in a rut, it’s the emotional power of the Scorpio woman which can free him from it, so he too benefits from Virgo man Scorpio woman compatibility. He seeks order, while she seeks power, but together this couple can create a surprising amount of both. As inscrutable together as they are as individuals, this is one of those relationships which seems unlikely to outsiders, but which works. It can degenerate into quite a submissive or dark relationship for the Virgo man, however, if he doesn’t assert himself as often as he should. Successful Virgo man Scorpio woman compatibility depends upon the Virgo man’s self- confidence in this sense, because after all, his ability to stand up to her is one of things the Scorpio woman loves most about her Virgo man.

81 Libra Man and Scorpio Woman

You might think that two partners from adjoining zodiac signs would understand each other well and stand a good chance of romance. Unfortunately, that’s not the case for the Libra man and Scorpio woman. Although their neighboring sign status does give them a karmic teacher-pupil link, it does little to help a very uncomfortable partnership to sustain itself over a lifetime.

Mood Misunderstandings Libra man and Scorpio woman compatibility doesn’t seem obvious. The Libra man is easy going, charming and laid back, whereas the Scorpio woman is full on, intense and edgy. These two are different enough in nature to be intrigued by one another, which will be how they get together in the first place, but they operate on such very different levels that it’s hard to see how the relationship can thrive. For the Libra man, an air sign, the world is an intellectual place. He explores his world through words, thoughts and debate. For the Scorpio woman, the world is a highly volatile and emotional place, and she explores her world by climbing to the heights and sinking to the depths, extremes of emotion which are completely alien to the Libra man. And here’s the first sign of cracks in Libra man Scorpio woman compatibility – he does not understand her moods; she does not understand his serenity. In the bedroom, the deeply sexual Scorpio woman is certainly the one taking the lead; her slightly aloof Libra male lover will be bowled over by her passion to begin with, but will eventually grow to resent the way she can use sex to manipulate him or as a weapon within their relationship. Elsewhere in the relationship, issues of who’s in charge are always simmering away.

82 The Scorpio woman has a very powerful personality, but she belongs to a fixed sign. It’s her way or the highway. The Libra man feels, quite rightly, that he can probably make better decisions than she can, and being a cardinal sign he won’t be slow to take the lead when he feels it’s right to do so. This will cause his Scorpio woman to smile sweetly, and then seethe, manipulate and plot revenge in the background. Libra man Scorpio woman compatibility pits a very fair minded guy against a woman who’s quite prepared to be underhand, and it’s not always a pretty sight.

Jealous Demands The Scorpio woman finds the Libra man too lightweight. He doesn’t express a depth of feeling which anywhere near matches hers, and she dismisses his intellectual approach out of hand. The Libra man finds the Scorpio woman too emotionally unstable. He will quickly tire of not knowing which kind of Scorpio he’s coming home to each night, as this isn’t the stable partnership he’s been seeking all his life. Libra man Scorpio woman compatibility struggles because neither partner really gives the other what they’re seeking. Another area of contention in this relationship is jealousy. The Scorpio woman is exceptionally jealous and will resent her Libra man’s social popularity with other woman. Deep down, she’s savvy enough to know that he’s faithful by nature, but that won’t stop her lashing out in a jealous fury. The Libra man finds this deeply hurtful and unfair, and he just can’t fathom what her problem is. Sometimes, he will give in to her demands in an effort to show good faith or to heal the relationship, but the Scorpio woman doesn’t know when to stop, and will keep making demands which the even handed Libra man will find increasingly irrational and difficult. Ultimately, Libra man Scorpio woman compatibility can be deeply wounding for both partners. It’s easy to see how the Scorpio woman is able to draw blood, but as the relationship breaks down, the Libra man will start to withdraw, and in the end his aloof indifference to his Scorpio woman will hurt her more than anything – if there’s one thing she can’t cope with, it’s indifference. Sadly, in this relationship, neither partner really “gets” the other, and it’s such a shame that they can hurt one another so much before calling it a day.

83 Scorpio Man and Scorpio Woman

When two Scorpions fall in love, the relationship is very much like what happens when two real Scorpions meet – this couple will spend a great deal of time circling each other warily, well aware of the power each one has to truly wound the other.

An Instinctive Understanding Scorpio man Scorpio woman compatibility is strong on an instinctive level, of course, like all same sign relationships, because the couple truly understand one another. For this couple, however, their initial getting together is likely to be quite slow and cautious. They’re not really sure if they want to take the risk of a relationship; if either has ever had a relationship with a fellow Scorpio before, they’ll probably be very wary of going through all that again. Once the Scorpio man Scorpio woman relationship is underway, it will be a very private affair. This couple present an inscrutable mask to outsiders, who may never truly know what’s going on. Behind closed doors, it’s an exceptionally passionate relationship, of course – what else would we expect from two partners belonging to this most sexual of signs? It’s also a very tempestuous one, with both partners plumbing the depths of passion with their tempers and sulks too, and imagined slights setting off chain reactions of emotional responses. Scorpio man Scorpio woman compatibility is never going to be smooth ride.

84 Searing Intensity There’s absolutely nothing casual about this relationship, but its searing intensity can work for both good and for ill. The couple share enormous will power and determination, and they can choose to use that either to build the relationship or to destroy it. Unfortunately, for the majority of Scorpio-Scorpio couples, the intensity seems to be too much in the end and Scorpio man Scorpio woman compatibility often fails to last the distance, leaving two very wounded people in its wake. Part of the problem arises from the tendency both the Scorpio man and the Scorpio woman have to hide their true feelings. This can give rise to a series of misunderstandings between them, which both of them will resent and for which both will want revenge. This couple try to manipulate each other, forgetting that they’re both masters at this game. Being a fixed sign, both the Scorpio man and the Scorpio woman arevery slow to make the first move towards a reconciliation, and both find it very hard to forgive and forget. Scorpio man Scorpio woman compatibility is undoubtedly magnetic, and this is a couple which can, if they get the magic right, soar to heights few other couples can match. They do know instinctively how to hurt one another, though, and for this tempestuous water/water match, the emotions sometimes simply run too deep for either partner to successfully handle.

85 Sagittarius Man and Scorpio Woman

A relationship between a Sagittarius man and a Scorpio woman seems unlikely at first glance, given the very large differences between these two signs. However, these two powerful individuals sense a challenge, and neither of them are afraid to take it on.

A Relationship Based on Challenge For the free spirited Sagittarius man, the Scorpio woman presents something of an enigma. She is difficult to get to know, since she is such a private woman – but that just eggs him on. For the Scorpio woman, the Sagittarius man presents as a man who takes risks – and the Scorpio woman cannot resist taking an emotional risk with him herself, as she likes to run the full gamut of emotional experiences. So far so good; but how will Sagittarius man Scorpio woman compatibility fare once the couple start to get to know each other? Since the relationship is based on challenge from the outset, the mutual attraction between this pair is likely to evaporate if the relationship becomes too easy. Fortunately for Sagittarius man Scorpio woman compatibility, such a thing is very unlikely! This couple are highly sexually compatible, being a fire/water sign match, and they can create a very steamy sex life where the Scorpio woman’s depths of passion more than match the Sagittarius man’s ardor and fire. Outside the bedroom, however, there are some glaring problems to overcome. This couple operate on very different levels.The Sagittarius man is very honest, direct and straightforward. What you see is what you get with the Sagittarius guy. Not so with the Scorpio woman – what you see with the Scorpio lady barely scrapes the surface of what’s actually going on with her. She keeps her volatile emotions hidden most of the time and is adept at not showing how she really feels.

86 This will be frustrating and disappointing for the Sagittarius man, and he feels it’s dishonest too. He has a fiery temper, but how can he fight what he cannot see? For Sagittarius man Scorpio woman compatibility, it’s the hidden nature of Scorpio which is one of the biggest challenges of all.

Jealousy Issues Another problem is the Scorpio woman’s jealousy – and that’s an emotion that she certainly won’t keep hidden. She absolutely will not tolerate infidelity on the part of her Sagittarius man – but nobody told him that. He is not the most naturally faithful of signs, although he is very kind and tries not to hurt anyone with his infidelity (not possible, of course, but he tries). He will not understand the depth of the Scorpio woman’s jealousy and he will come to resent any restrictions she tries to place on his freedoms. Sagittarius man Scorpio woman compatibility will have to face many such jealous tantrums before they find a way to navigate this tricky issue. That’s not to say that the couple cannot find a way through the difficulties, eventually.The Sagittarius man belongs to a highly adaptable, flexible, mutable sign, and he may be willing to change if he is sufficiently in love with his enigmatic Scorpio woman. Remember, however, that the main thing keeping this couple together in the first place is the element of danger and of challenge. If the Sagittarius were suddenly to become a meek and mild house husband, Sagittarius man and Scorpio woman compatibility would evaporate overnight. So it’s a very tricky balance, finding some element of compromise, but not too much. It can work where the couple are genuinely in love, and when it does they will stay fascinated by each other for a lifetime – but for many couples, Sagittarius man Scorpio woman compatibility is just too much hard work for too little result.

87 Capricorn Man and Scorpio Woman

The relationship between the Capricorn man and the Scorpio woman is an earth sign/water sign one, which typically works quite well. This is an odd couple, however, who at first glance don’t seem to have much to offer each other.

A Shared Love of Power The Capricorn man is all business; he is traditional, conservative with a small c and very conventional. He plays by the rules, is emotionally aloof and is focused on providing stability and financial security for himself and his loved ones. The Scorpio woman, on the other hand, is emotionally intense, and doesn’t care two hoots for the rules. She likes to shock and while she is interested in emotional security, she’s not that fussed about money or materialism. What brings this unlikely couple together in the first place, however, is a shared love of power. That’s what really sets Capricorn man Scorpio woman compatibility in motion. For the Capricorn man, the type of power he seeks is traditional, authoritative power in the workplace, or respect from his fellow man in everyday life. The Scorpio woman seeks an altogether different kind of power – emotional power, personal magnetism and the ability to turn heads. This couple also achieve their power in very different ways; the Capricorn man works hard in a step by step, logical approach. The Scorpio woman is much less patient and more forthright, and is not above using manipulation or underhand tactics to get her way. Nevertheless, this couple intrigue each other greatly, which is how Capricorn man Scorpio woman compatibility is born.

88 Muddy and Moody When it comes to sexual compatibility, these two are a surprisingly good match. Although the Scorpio woman is one of the most sexual in the zodiac, the Capricorn man can almost match her sensuality when he feels secure and safe – he is an earth sign, after all. Outside the bedroom, this is a thoughtful and slow moving relationship. Neither partner is quick tempered, although the Scorpio woman can be provoked into a vengeful rage if her partner makes her jealous. The Capricorn man doesn’t. And when she swings into one of her infamous moods, he has the emotional distance to merely watch her coolly, turn his back and walk off, coming back later when the situation is calmer. For Capricorn man Scorpio woman compatibility, this can be an issue. In this sense, the Capricorn man is taking away the Scorpio woman’s power, and she won’t stand for that. It’s possible that her moods will become ever darker, especially since the Capricorn man is prone to depression himself. If this couple aren’t careful, the relationship can become quite muddy and tiring, as each partner struggles to find the enthusiasm to carry on. Nevertheless, if they are truly in love, this couple can find some progressive solutions to their relationship problems. The Scorpio woman is exceptionally determined and will not allow the Capricorn man to slip through her fingers if she wants to keep him. She is a fixed sign, but one of her rulers is Mars, the all action planet, and she will take action when she needs to. The Capricorn man, meanwhile, is a cardinal sign, and all too well aware of the action he needs to take if he wants to keep his Scorpio woman happy. Capricorn man Scorpio woman compatibility will always involve some kind of power struggle, but if the couple can learn to take turns sharing the power, then this slightly mismatched relationship can stand a chance after all.

89 Aquarius Man and Scorpio Woman

For the Aquarius man and Scorpio woman, compatibility is an edgy business. This is a complex relationship, but it’s a challenge for both of them – and both of them love a challenge!

Mutual Fascination The Aquarius man and the Scorpio woman are drawn together not so much by what their partner can offer them, but what their partner has which they don’t have. The Scorpio woman is in awe of the Aquarius man’s social ease and devil-may-care charisma. The Aquarius man, in turn, is fascinated by the Scorpio woman’s emotional depths, and by her slightly dangerous air of power seeking mania. Aquarius man Scorpio woman compatibility is born of mutual fascination. When this relationship warms up and moves to the bedroom, the Aquarius man, coolly aloof and rather distant, will have quite a shock – the Scorpio woman is a full on sexual being, and will waste no time in teaching him a thing or two. She does it sweetly though, and the Aquarius man’s demeanor will quickly warm up no end. Beyond the bedroom, these two are going to have to work out how to cope with their very different emotional scales. Aquarius man Scorpio woman compatibility is all about seeking the balance which eludes both partners. The Scorpio woman isn’t balanced in her emotions. She is an all or nothing person. She loves or she hates; she never likes. She is ecstatic or in despair; never just OK. But for Aquarius man Scorpio woman compatibility, this is balanced out somewhat by the Aquarius man’s inability to be balanced too. He’s not balanced in his un-emotion.

90 However much he likes to play the cool and rational card, he’s a human being like everyone else, and he struggles to cope as he moves from total indifference to alien feelings and back again. This couple have so much to each other, and that’s where the true magic of Aquarius man Scorpio woman compatibility can be found.

A Subtle Power Play However, bear in mind that both Aquarius and Scorpio are fixed signs.Both of these partners are extremely stubborn, and neither likes to recognize that they have anything to learn. Aquarius man Scorpio woman compatibility also runs into trouble over the Scorpio woman’s need to control. She is ruled by Pluto, that most controlling of all planets – but the Aquarius man is ruled by Uranus, which demands freedom from control at all costs. There will be a subtle power play at work here in the background of this relationship, and it’s unlikely to go away. For Aquarius man Scorpio woman compatibility to work best, the Scorpio woman will need to be a little less jealous and a lot less demanding. The Aquarius man will need to be more wiling to get in touch with his emotions, and he’ll have to get better at reading his Scorpio woman’s feelings too. These are both intelligent people, however. They can do this if they want to. If they choose to compromise, this can be an enduring and quirky relationship which can really go places. If they choose not to compromise, then Aquarius man Scorpio woman compatibility will not overcome the differences in emotional style, and will, sadly, come to an end.

91 Pisces Man and Scorpio Woman

The Pisces man and the Scorpio woman both belong to water signs, and same element relationships usually stand a good chance of astrological compatibility. For this couple, however, could it be that they’ll drown under all that water?

An Instinctive Magnetism The Pisces man is immediately drawn to the Scorpio woman because he recognizes a kindred mysterious soul. The Scorpio woman is a very deep person and she maintains an aura of inscrutability which belies the cauldron of emotions beneath. For her part, the Scorpio woman is drawn to the Pisces man’s spirituality, sensing that he can take her to places even she has never been. There is a magnetism of sorts here. Pisces man Scorpio woman compatibility works on an instant, instinctive level. When this couple get to know each other and take their relationship to the next level, there is a strong sexual compatibility too. The Scorpio woman is a highly sexual being, and brings a depth of passion few other signs can match. The Pisces man can’t match it either, but he can bring a tender romance which is new to her, and which she will adore. So in the bedroom, this relationship works too, but what about out in the real world?

92 With both the Scorpio woman and the Pisces man being such deeply emotional souls, there’s always a danger that either or both can get lost in their feelings or fears. Without an earth sign or a fire sign to ground either partner, emotions can quickly overwhelm this couple, who will struggle to right themselves, especially during times of trauma. The Scorpio woman has a hidden weapon, however, which can be the saving grace for Pisces man Scorpio woman compatibility. She is part ruled by Mars, that most fiery of all planets. In her sheer strength of will and endless determination, she is very like a fire sign, and it is this fiery steel, coupled with her instinctive understanding of her Pisces man’s emotions, which will enable her to drag both of them back the surface when the waves threaten to overwhelm them.

Fragile but Beautiful On a day to day level, this couple need to take care not to hurt each other. The Scorpio woman can be spiteful when she feels like it, and she knows exactly how to wound her Pisces man. He doesn’t have a spiteful bone in his body, but he can unintentionally hurt the Scorpio woman by withdrawing from her emotionally. She needs to know the very depths of his soul – that’s part of the attraction for her – and if he starts to shut her out for any reason, she may never recover. Pisces man Scorpio woman compatibility is quite a fragile thing, but it is underpinned by tremendous love from both partners. When Pisces man Scorpio woman compatibility fails, the results can be a true car crash. The vengeful Scorpio woman will have no qualms about making her former Pisces lover pay; for his part, he can subtly get his own revenge by ignoring her and depriving her of the attention she needs when she’s going through emotional torment. The end of a relationship between a Pisces man and a Scorpio woman is not a pretty sight – but fortunately the shared watery depths and the shared spirituality of this couple tends to mean that they can endure almost anything, together.

93
