When Aries and Scorpio come together, it can be the kind of relationship where the two partners wonder how they ever managed apart. Both partners in this relationship love power, and if they learn to work together instead of against each other they can achieve anything they want. Scorpio is more focused and more determined than Aries, while Aries gets things started the way both partners want. Even though Aries can be fiercely loyal, Scorpio has a deeper and more complex devotion to the partnership.

             This can be a very goal-oriented relationship. It tends to be highly passionate and often argumentative, because both partners have jealous tendencies. Scorpio tends to be more patient, but is also more possessive than Aries. But despite their differences, both partners love risk and taking chances; this is not a boring relationship! Aries and Scorpio can have lots of adventures together. At times they can have difficulty understanding each other, because Aries is an extrovert, up front and open, while Scorpio is more introverted with their feelings. Both partners need to meet on neutral ground once in a while and work out a truce!

             Aries and Scorpio are both ruled by the Planet Mars, and Scorpio is also ruled by Pluto. When two people with Mars energy come together, it's like two players meeting 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 meet challenge head-on, so it's normal for them to argue all the time -- making up is something to look forward to! Pluto adds an 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, using 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. But Scorpio can be emotionally manipulative, too much Water dampening Aries' enthusiasm. Conversely, too much Fire can burn the Water away and drive Scorpio to seek revenge. Aries and Scorpio must plan and work together instead of separately to maintain their balance.           

             Aries is a Cardinal Sign and Scorpio is a Fixed Sign. Aries gives Scorpio the initiative to do things just for the experience,  rather than always having an agenda in mind. Scorpio can help Aries stabilize and finish things rather than jumping into new projects without completing the old ones. But they are both loyal and devoted to each other, and when they can understand that they can both be the boss -- Aries as the initiator and Scorpio as the emotional leader -- they can accomplish a great deal together.

             The best aspect of the Aries-Scorpio relationship is the power of their combined forces. They can accomplish a lot, particularly when they believe in the same cause. They are both winners and they won't give up, making theirs a relationship that never settles for second best.
