Aries - Scorpio Relationship



In their secret hearts, Aries men and women like to fancy themselves as colorful, fierce pirates.  after all, pirates are brave, romantic and dashing.  Aries is on the defensive, a Ram never attacks unless struck first. If you recall Aries is the infant of the zodiac, and infants don't yell unless they're ignored, or someone jabs them with a safety pin, it's their defense against pain or neglect.

Scorpio's are masters of the offense, laced with clever, cool strategy, exquisite patience and an uncanny sense of the weakness of others.  You won't find Scorpio's coming unstrung, running about, striking wildly.  When they strike it's right on target, with deadly precision.  Anytime you're stung by the Scorpion tail, you know it.  Most people don't mess around with a Scorpio a second time.

Ever notice when people find someone is a Scorpio, they tend to recoil, or perhaps run.

As you know by now, Aries doesn't back down from anyone, except a Scorpio, should Aries throw caution to the wind, which is always a mistake.  When it comes to a showdown, a Ram is tougher, louder and and more emphatic than a Scorpion.  But when things get to the point, the typical Scorpion will disappear, wrapped in aloof silence, leaving Aries to wonder the age old mystery.  'Did I win, or did I go too far?

Scorpio is loyal, and never compromises principle. The Ram likes this as they are equally loyal and uncompromising.  Another Scorpio quality, that Aries can't comprehend is will power, or simply will.  Will is more to the point, and is responsible for the strong, emotionally charged aura surrounding even the quietest, apparently harmless Scorpions.  Not every one of them comes on like Dracula, many have sweet and pleasant personalties.  They're interesting, intelligent and courteous.   Shy, insecure and defenseless, they are not.  Aries should not let themselves be fooled by their gentle voices, their unobtrusive demeanor and lack of surface aggression.

Aries Woman - Scorpio Man

A Scorpio man penetrates life to the core.  He has an almost superhuman capacity to face the facts about himself and others.  This can be a little frightening when he lets you backstage to see what's really going on behind his mask of unshakable confidence.  What does a woman do when she's been trusted with a secret like that?  If she is an Aries, she falls in love with unbelievable intensity.

If she is allowed to share this part of him, it's because he admires the absence if feminine guile in her nature.  He likes her fresh innocence and faith in him, and touched by her loyalty.  Somehow, he senses that the Aries girl won't use her knowledge of his inner being against him.  Revenge is never an Aries weapon. 

Neither is ever satisfied until they've drained the last drop of romance, pleasure, emotionally they are well suited.  Mentally, they're about as far apart as two people can get and still remain members of the same human race.

His mind is shrewd, critical, cautious and skeptical.  Hers are careless, direct, impulsive and uncomplicated.  This can take two paths.  It can add intrigue and glamor to their relationship or completely make communication impossible.

If she can tolerate his quiet air of superiority, exasperating silences and deep wells of secrecy, his somewhat stingy attitude about spending, and his iron -clad convictions of right and wrong, even when they differ from hers, she finds and enduring happiness.  That is a lot of tolerance for an Aries, who are not noted for patience.

If he can overlook her surges of jealousy, financial extravagence, frequent demands for attention, and her immature approach to problems, he'll find the woman he's sought.

Aries Man - Scorpio Woman

It's her secret revolt, more than her sudden retaliation, that could cause the tension between these two lovers.  Aries hates secrets, unpleasant surprises. How was he to know that what he chose to do on Sunday would backfire on Tuesday.  Especially when on Monday she was cool, calm and calculating.  How was he to know she would burn his favorite jeans and boots, just because he wanted to do something other than take her somewhere.   The frustration in this is that he doesn't get to retaliate, because by the time he's worked up steam, she has already shut down and off, her self-control has set in and cannot be penetrated. 

A point to remember is that Aries needs to be loved all the way, and Scorpio can't love any other way.

Scorpio is compelled to violate the unknown, in order to know, then knowing keeps the secret.  Aries plunges in recklessly, to discover truth ans happiness, then shares it enthusiastically and openly.  This is an essential difference between them, which is bridged only by mutual trust and forgiveness each time it appears.    When he displays is emotions carelessly he may create pain that she'll find hard to forget, and although her response may be a soft-spoken, "aren't you over-reacting?". You never know what is happening within, behind her cool mask.  His answer must be, no, I'm not overreacting, I'm being my self.
