Scorpio - Friendship Compatibility - Scorpio and Aquarius

When Scorpio and Aquarius form a friendship, it mingles different needs and different
philosophies. Scorpio has an emotional intensity with which they face life. Aquarius has an
unusual, idealistic world view. While Scorpio may be more introverted and prefer to work alone,
Aquarius enjoys socializing with others. They may appear to have few common interests, but
these two are both possessed of strong willpower. When they set this force to a common goal,
they are assured of success and fun.

Both Scorpio and Aquarius can be difficult and opinionated. They like things the way they like
them, no questions asked. Scorpio is probing, delving deeply into the hidden meaning of things.
Aquarius is modern and does not enjoy detail. Scorpio will find Aquarius exciting, yet may feel
frustrated trying to penetrate this revolutionary's mind. Aquarius will not appreciate the
possessiveness of a stinging Scorpion or the amount of attention they require, but they will find
the intensity Scorpio provides to be a great support.

Scorpio is ruled by the Planets Mars and Pluto, and Aquarius is ruled by Saturn and Uranus.
Mars is a radical, belligerent, aggressive and courageous masculine energy, and Pluto enlightens
these impulses and adds a rebirthing, cyclical quality. Saturn is a cool, contained energy, and
Uranus is about all things different and unusual. Mars is emotional, reacting without thinking
things through; such is the nature of Scorpio. For Aquarius, Saturn is about hard work and
discipline to achieve goals while Uranus determines thinking ahead. Scorpio will teach Aquarius
about life based on emotional impulses and what it means to peek beneath the surface. Aquarius
can teach Scorpio to be more aloof, to detach themselves from uncontrollable situations and to
reevaluate their goals if they are off course.

Scorpio is a Water Sign, and Aquarius is an Air Sign. Aquarius moves through life with pure,
inventive exploration, while Scorpio is more analytical. Scorpio looks for purpose, and Aquarius
seeks the stimulating. These two may have a hard time figuring out where each other's thoughts
come from. These two may have confrontations if Scorpio is too overbearing or if Aquarius seems too cool and flippant and denies Scorpio reassurance. Both friends need to learn that they view the world in different ways and they should celebrate and laugh at their differences.

Scorpio and Aquarius are both Fixed Signs. Both can be rigid, opinionated and unyielding. Both
companions tend to persist when laboring toward a goal. If they have a plan, they'll stick to it until their efforts are rewarded. Once they have made up their minds that they can get things done together, they will never be discouraged from maintaining the friendship. If they have differing ideas, they may find that the Scorpion is the more tenacious, more dogmatic partner. If they each believe in the value of their close connection, they will be able to overcome any differences they come up against.

The best aspect of the Scorpio-Aquarius friendship is the capacity for victory and glory in their
synergy. Both Signs have very powerful personalities, so neither will openly dominate the other.
Once they can iron out their differences, come together and agree on their individuality, the fruits of this friendship can be sweet.
