Aries

 When Aries and Scorpio come together in a love match, it can be the kind of relationship where they both wonder how they ever managed apart. Both Signs love power and they can achieve just about anything — as long as they learn to share the spotlight. Scorpio is very focused; once they set their sights on Aries, Aries is most likely powerless to resist! Scorpio has a deeper and more complex devotion to this relationship than does Aries.

These two Signs tend to engage in heavy, heated arguments. Their connection is highly passionate and often argumentative, because both partners have jealous tendencies. Scorpio tends to be more patient, but is also more possessive than Aries — and can lash out (with that Scorpion sting!) when their feelings get hurt. Despite their differences in emotional involvement, both partners love risk and taking chances; this is not a boring relationship! Aries and Scorpio can have lots of adventures together. They may have trouble understanding one another — Aries is a true extrovert, totally up-front and open, while Scorpio is more inward, emotional and, at times, manipulative. Sometimes a truce is necessary to keep things running smoothly!

Aries and Scorpio are both ruled by the Planet Mars (Passion), and Scorpio is also ruled by Pluto (Power). When two people with Mars’s energy come together, it’s like two soldiers on a battlefield — they’re either allies or deadly enemies. Mars also represents passion, so Aries and Scorpio tend to have an exciting time together (both in the bedroom and out of it!). Arguments are normal in such a challenge-oriented couple — and making up is definitely something to look forward to! Pluto adds extra intensity to this dynamic.

Aries is a Fire Sign and Scorpio is a Water Sign. These two elements can be a great combination if they work together, combining emotion and physical action to get things done. Scorpio is a strategist, and can help Aries slow down and learn how to plan battles before jumping into them. Aries teaches Scorpio to let go and move on when their efforts are thwarted. However, Water can also put out a Fire, and Scorpio’s tendency toward emotional manipulation has that effect on Aries — it’s too much Water dampening Aries’s enthusiasm. Conversely, too much Fire makes Water evaporate away; when under emotional stress, Scorpio can become vindictive. It’s essential for Aries and Scorpio to work together, not against one another.

Aries is a Cardinal Sign and Scorpio is a Fixed Sign. Aries can teach Scorpio about spontaneity — doing things just for the experience, rather than always having an agenda in mind. Scorpio can help teach Aries to stabilize and finish things rather than always jumping into new projects without completing what’s already on the table. When they can understand that they’re both loyal and devoted to one another, they can both be the boss — Aries as the initiator and Scorpio as the emotional leader.

What’s the best aspect of the Aries-Scorpio relationship? The power of their combined forces. They’re both winners and they won’t give up, making theirs a relationship that never settles for second best.

 Scorpio and Aries: Water and Fire? It's difficult to reach a compromise, but once you both have figured it out, the relationship stands a good chance to last.

It is worth mentioning that you are excellent business partners, even if you sometimes collide, emotionally speaking. Aries is the initiator, the one inspiring great deeds, coming up with bright ideas. It is the practice that gives Aries a hard time. And this is where Scorpio comes along, bringing sustainability.

Aries is the sign that governs the brain so (s)he is very open-minded to new ideas and (s)he knows how to show credit to the others, so (s)he'll listen to your ideas and suggestions very carefully, trying to do something with them.

The physical attraction between you two is very strong at the beginning: it was probably love at first sight. The passion will be big on the first days: generally, Water and Fire attract each other, being complementary. Each of them has what the other lacks, each of them completes the other.

The problems appear when you start talking about a long-term relationship because Water tends to put out the Fire (to bore or annoy him/her), and Fire tends, by its own energy, to consume the energy around, namely to evaporate Water (to exhaust you physically and spiritually).

You, dear Scorpio, are a Water sign, very emotional, passionate, and always preoccupied with existential issues ("but why do you love me?"), while Aries doesn't spend too much time thinking about such details ("isn't the fact that I love you enough?"), for Aries sees the big picture. The sentimental depths you like navigating in scares Aries, because (s)he is a Fire sign, and too much Water (feelings, emotions) put it out, consumes his/her energy.

On the other hand, Scorpio is not crazy about parties, crowded places and formal meetings. But Aries is the one shining in this kind of places: (s)he is the centre of attention and everyone listens to him/her. Naturally, Aries enjoys it (your Aries is as proud as you are), so (s)he doesn't avoid parties, on the contrary, (s)he looks for them, while you would like him/her at home more, paying more attention to you. And neither does (s)he have enough patience to cuddle you and beg you to come with him/her. This will hurt your ego (which is rather high - maybe you should lower your expectations sometimes).

Sexually, it's a real adventure: it starts in the lobby and it ends on the floor of the bedroom. You are both passionate. Aries likes believing (s)he is the best (and when it comes to this kind of things, (s)he even becomes patient!), and your mysterious aura lights up the Fire. But, at one point, you will feel you want more spiritual communication (the thing that really bores an Aries). Moreover, Aries likes having enthusiastic people around him/her, so (s)he'll be bothered to see his/her Scorpio miffed.

Despite all these disadvantages, theory itself admits that a Scorpio-Aries relationship can very often be quite different from the one usually described between Water and Fire. This is because you are both governed by Mars, which gives you two a sort of communication canal that belongs to you only, a special way of knowing and feeling each other.

So, what will it be like? Like climbing the Everest. But all those who climbed it said it was worth the effort.

 Aries' ruler, passionate Mars, also wields minor command over Scorpio (whose main overlord is Pluto). Fierce physical attraction draws your signs together, but it's a game of sexual gunpowder and erotic explosives. Not that either of you is afraid of such things. No sign is as darkly intense as watery Scorpio. When mixed with Aries' concentrated fire-power, you stir up quite the hydroelectric charge. However, this match can only last if Scorpio has evolved from a ground-dwelling, vengeful scorpion into an elevated "eagle" state. Here's the fundamental challenge: Aries takes; withholding Scorpio takes away. When Aries reaches out his grasping hand, Scorpio's first instinct is to jump back, which wounds the sensitive Ram. Aries energy is consuming, which leaves Scorpio weak-kneed but scared. Aries will need to temper the raw desire, or at least mask it to avoid overwhelming Scorpio. Jealous Scorpio will need to stop Google-stalking Aries and hiring private detectives whenever the independent Ram goes out for a beer with friends. One way in which you're alike? You're both hyper-sensitized to abandonment, and may even shun each other in a self-protection paradox: "Go away before you leave me." (This tactic only guarantees another hot reunion tryst.) Selfishness can also be this couple's downfall. Scorpio is the sign that rules other people's resources—his karmic job is to create wealth from another man's pocket. Aries is simply born entitled. In a sense, you both live by the credo "What's mine is mine; what's yours is mine." Who will refill the coffers once you empty them?

 You are both willful and passionate people, with a strong desire to live intensely and directly, and you love this about each other. There is a lot of fire in your relationship and you are likely to fight ferociously sometimes. ARIES, however, can release anger and emotions and then forget about it, while SCORPIO nurses grudges and resentments, and may hold on to the wounds that ARIES unthinkingly inflicts.

Also, SCORPIO needs to feel intensely bonded emotionally, and ARIES may not have the same overwhelming need for closeness.  A bond between these two Mars-ruled signs is ardent, passionate, and often stormy. No neutrality is possible, and day-to-day management of such extreme feelings may prove difficult. Scorpio's possessiveness will not tolerate the slightest unfaithfulness, but the Ram often yields fully to the Scorpion's sensuality - unless he or she is startled into scampering away... This poignant dance, in which each partner vies for control, can be fleeting or long-lasting, sublime or terrifying: there is no happy medium!  You both are so strong-minded, much of your relationship could be spent attempting to gain the upper hand! This could be a slightly better business partnership than a love relationship because both of you are so street-savvy and interested in new ventures. You each bring different things to this relationship, and this could be why you were drawn to one another in the first place.

Your Aries lover is full of ambition, fresh ideas, and dreams that he or she wants to make real. You think your Aries is impractical at times, and you're right. Aries are not detailed or even practical; their role in the Universe is to inspire others. Aries don't like to be hemmed in and they are continually testing themselves, pushing the envelope to see how far they can go both physically and mentally. You and Aries share the same ruler: Mars. But Scorpio has two rulers, and the other one is Pluto. Mars is called "the action planet," representing the warrior, so you both have substantial courage. You express it differently, however, because while your lover is a fire sign, you are a deeply emotional, instinctive, and even psychic, water sign.

You may be frustrated that Aries have none of your emotional depth. They live life on the surface, and don't dig too deeply into other people's feelings or motivations like you do. Full of chatter and continually dashing off to another meeting or cocktail party, you might find Aries exhausting. You need complete isolation on a regular basis to recharge your batteries, while they energize themselves by being with other people.

In love, you crave commitment and long lasting relationships, while Aries live (and love) for the moment. When things get boring, Aries move on. Scorpios require fidelity, which, more often than not, Aries find terribly confining. You are discreet and introverted, qualities your lover might see as secretive. Aries don't have the patience to draw you out the way Pisces or Cancers would; if you sulk, Aries will just grab their coat and jump ship. Both of you have quite a temper, due to Mars' rulership of both signs, although both of your tempers' explosiveness may not surface for a long time. But when it does, watch out! It would be better if at least one of you were a more patient type. As you see, this relationship could be hard on everybody's nerves unless you or your lover has a large number of water or earth planets in your horoscopes.

Sexually, you two will generate lots of heat! Both of you have strong physical appetites, but I feel that you long to have a more submissive, encouraging partner. Your Aries will make lovemaking exciting, but after time, you could start missing having a true spiritual connection with your lover and wonder why he or she is so unable to match your emotional depth. In fact, you may feel like you are locked in some sort of competition of wills, instead of a seductive embrace. In a way, Scorpio, you are. You need control; Aries need to rebel.

As you see, this is going to be like climbing Mt. Everest, but you can do it if you love your Aries. Be sure to check your lover's entire horoscope with an astrologer, because the right rising sign or moon could change this picture vastly for the better! Your best asset is your gift of intuition, which could help you see through the everyday difficulties and find a path to love.  The sex can turn out to be either stimulating or useless. There are two directions for the events to develop. Both the Aries, and the Scorpio possess a large amount of physical energy. They are both inclined to act. On the other hand, they are both independent and do not like being controlled. Long-term disagreements may destroy their phenomenal ability to share passion of and with each other. Usually this is an unstable partnership with a low ignition point.
