SCORPIO WITH AQUARIUS

Their common fixed, or constant nature may be the magic ingredient that keeps a pair of Scorpio and Aquarius lovers together forever.

That, and the aura of mystery that feminine Scorpio exudes, which may never lose its power to intrigue curious, airy Aquarius.

And the intuitive way in which watery Scorpio understands that masculine Aquarius' thoughtlessness is not intended to hurt.

Even so, airy, communicative Aquarius may be frustrated by Scorpio's reticence and emotional detachment.

Plus Points:

If you are a typical Aquarius, your element of air may cause you to be primarily interested in others' minds, while the influence of Uranus, your ruling planet, may give you an affinity for those who think unconventionally.

If so, your Scorpio lover may be a never-ending source of fascination, for as well as being shrouded in a cloak of feminine reserve that you can't help wanting to penetrate, you may occasionally succeed in catching a glimpse of a strange, profoundly deep, process of metamorphosis at work.

You no doubt also appreciate the caring and emotional support that are characteristics of Scorpio's watery element, along with the faithfulness that, as the gift of a fixed nature, may match yours.

You may consider your Aquarius sweetheart's positive, masculine outlook and airy calm wonderful qualities if you are a Scorpio whose watery element can send you bouncing back and forth between emotional extremes.

And you may be particularly grateful for Aquarius' talent for drawing you out of yourself and distracting you from Pluto's gloom-inducing influence, be it by encouraging you to talk or by sharing his or her oddball, Uranian ideas.

Above all, however, you may thank your lucky stars that constant Aquarius is loyal to you.

Potential Pitfalls:

Watery Scorpio may make emotional demands that you are incapable of fulfilling if you are an airy, impersonal Aquarius, a failing that may disappoint you if you are a watery Scorpio who longs for a meeting of hearts rather than of intellects.

A conflict between controlling water and freedom-seeking air may further arouse Scorpio's possessive instincts, which may have a suffocating effect on Aquarius, thereby increasing the distance between you.

SCORPIO WITH PISCES

Despite their joint femininity, the transcendental love that Scorpio and Pisces may feel for one another has the power to enable them to cast off their inherent caution and blossom spectacularly.

Why? Well, the answer lies primarily in their mutual element of water, which infuses each with profound emotions and overwhelming joy when their feelings are reciprocated.

A few blips may occur in this relationship as a consequence of Pluto-ruled Scorpio's secretiveness and Neptunian Pisces' desire for them to be as one, or Scorpio's dislike of change and mutable Pisces' appetite for variety. But given their mutual sympathy, their differences are unlikely to be disastrous.

Plus Points: You may have been in seventh heaven ever since the day that you and Scorpio revealed your tenderness for one another if you are a Pisces, for your element of water may bless Scorpio with as caring and compassionate a nature as yours.

While the combination of intense Pluto and ardent Mars may make the scorpion the most passionate of lovers.

And because Scorpio's nature is fixed, or constant, his or her unwavering devotion to you may steady and reassure you when your own, mutable nature fills you with restlessness.

You may be intuitive, if you are a Scorpio. Yet your Pisces sweetheart may be doubly so, for not only does he or she share your watery element, but the additional input of Neptune may result in an intuition that is verging on the psychic. An additional gift of Neptune no doubt being total unselfishness.

As a naturally taciturn child of Pluto, your heart may therefore melt when you realize that sympathetic Pisces seems to understand you without words needing to be spoken, and would furthermore do anything to make you happy, aided by his or her adaptability-bestowing, mutable tendencies.

Potential Pitfalls: Among the few things that may slightly disappoint you about Scorpio, if you are a Pisces, may be the inflexibility that comes from having a fixed nature, particularly if it manifests itself as an insistence on staying put when you are experiencing a desire for a change of scene.

And if you are a Scorpio, a minor quibble that you may have with Pisces is his or her need to be included, or at least be told about, every aspect of your life, when it may be hard for you to overcome your Plutonian urge to keep some details to yourself.

Compatibility: 8 out of 10.
