Aquarius and Scorpio compatibility

The connection

Aquarius and Scorpio form a square, the classic attraction of opposites-in-tension. Sparks fly — in the bedroom and in arguments. This match works when both learn to compromise.

Air thinks, water feels. Learning each other's way of expressing love makes this work.

What each brings

Aquarius brings original, independent, humanitarian energy. Aquarius wants a partner who is also a best friend and who respects their independence. Intellectual connection and shared values come before conventional romance.

Scorpio brings intense, perceptive, loyal energy. Scorpio wants all or nothing. Emotional depth, honesty and trust are non-negotiable. Once bonded, they are the most devoted partner in the zodiac.

Making it work

Every pairing has friction points. Knowing them early makes them easier to handle:

• Aquarius: emotionally detached at times.
• Scorpio: secretive.

Talk openly about these and the match gets stronger.
