Aquarius and Scorpio Love Compatibility
When Scorpio and Aquarius make a love match, it is a fusion of two very different life philosophies and romantic needs.
There is much chance for friction here. Where Scorpio faces their inner emotional world directly and with an intense energy, thinking deeply about the more hidden undercurrents of life, Aquarius takes that same sort of energy and turns it outward. With their unique, idealistic, and, above all, very social outlook on life, Aquarius seems an odd choice for the more introverted Scorpio. Aquarius needs a crowd to feel stimulated; they’re always looking around the room for the next interesting person to get to know. On the other hand, Scorpio desires engaging and intimate time with their romantic mates. This pair may seem to have very little in common. Still, they both have such strong wills that they can get what they need and want when focused on their relationship.

Both Scorpio and Aquarius can be uncooperative and opinionated: They like things to go their way, no questions asked. For this love match, though, their ways are dissimilar. Scorpio is inquisitive, digging deeply into the hidden meaning of things, always asking questions, and wanting to know where things are going and why. Aquarius is progressive and affable yet does not enjoy detail. Their differences may entice Scorpio, as Aquarius shows them new, exterior worlds, but they may end up frustrated trying to get answers from this eccentric enigma. Aquarius does not welcome possessiveness, preferring to belong to the world rather than one person. But a stinging Scorpion can be fiercely possessive and require more attention than an Aquarius can give. If Aquarius slows down and pays attention, they may find the devotion Scorpio provides great support.
Planets
The planets Mars and Pluto rule Scorpio, and Saturn and Uranus rule Aquarius.
Mars is a revolutionary, aggressive, and spirited 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. Saturn demands much hard work and discipline from Aquarius, while Uranus gives them that forward-thinking mind. A gentle Scorpio lover, careful not to tether an Aquarius too tightly, can teach their mate about a life based on emotional intuition that sometimes quiets the intellect in favor of physical sensation. Understanding Aquarians can teach their serious Scorpio mates to calm down, detach themselves from uncontrollable situations, and reevaluate their goals if they get off course.
Elements
Scorpio is a water sign, and Aquarius is an air sign.
Air is about the intellect, so Aquarius tackles life as one chance to grow and explore after another, while Scorpio is more analytical. Scorpio looks for purpose, and Aquarius seeks stimulation. These love mates have trouble understanding one another’s origin of thought. Confrontations arise if Scorpio’s possessiveness gets the better of them or if Aquarius seems too cool and flippant and denies Scorpio emotional reassurance. Both need to learn that they view the world in different ways, and they should celebrate and laugh at their differences.
