1
Scorpio On the one hand, two Scorpios can understand each other better than anyone else. On the other hand, they can end up being a little too much to handle! Their mutual intensity can fuel the passion in this whirlwind relationship, but it can also lead to conflict. They might rush into a relationship—and the intensity of strong-willed Scorpios can lead the relationship to combust.
- Sign details: Scorpio is a fixed water sign ruled by Pluto, the planet of renewal and subconscious forces. Scorpio is a determined, loyal, and secretive sign.
- This couple’s biggest challenge: Their competing all-or-nothing personalities.
- How to make it work: Scorpio’s obsessive nature can cause both partners to feel smothered. If they take a step back and reserve some “alone time” each week, they’ll feel freer and relax in one another’s company.
2
Leo Scorpio and Leo can have red-hot chemistry with one another, but their strong personalities may clash and turn the relationship into a battle of wills. They have more in common than either sign might realize; both are passionate, strong-willed, and brave. However, as fixed signs, they’re also extremely stubborn. Scorpio could lash out if Leo tries to tell them what to do, and vice versa. ^{[5]

- Sign details: Leo is a fixed fire sign ruled by the Sun, which represents a person’s ego and sense of self. This makes Leo a loyal, outgoing, and big-hearted sign.
- This couple’s biggest challenge: Their mutual stubbornness.
- How to make it work: Leo and Scorpio can give each other all the passionate romance and stability that both signs crave—so long as they keep an open mind to the other's point of view and respect any differing opinions.
3
Aquarius Aquarius and Scorpio will likely find one another fascinating, but Aquarius’s unpredictability might rub Scorpio the wrong way. Scorpio can be enigmatic and reserved but doesn’t like inconsistency. Aquarius, a free-spirited air sign, may not understand this. While they’ll share a lot of physical attraction, Scorpio is also more emotional than a logical Aquarius.
- Sign details: Aquarius is a fixed air sign ruled by Uranus, the planet of innovation. As a result, Aquarius is intellectual, driven, and forward-thinking.
- This couple’s biggest challenge: Opposing interests and needs in a relationship.
- How to make it work: Scorpio must give Aquarius the freedom to pursue their own interests, while Aquarius can be a more dependable partner by following through on commitments and making time for couples’ activities.

Expert Interview} Furthermore, their domineering natures can clash; Aries loves to run the show, but that won’t fly with a strong-willed Scorpio. They’ll match one another’s passion, but struggle to agree on who should take the lead.
- Sign details: Aries is a cardinal fire sign ruled by Mars, the planet of energy and action. This makes Aries a bold, enthusiastic, and confident sign.
- This couple’s biggest challenge: Communication and working as a team.
- How to make it work: Scorpio and Aries’ need for control may get the best of them. If they try to work together on projects, with Scorpio as the strategist and go-getter Aries executing the plans, there’ll be no stopping them!
2
Libra Libra and Scorpio have very different energies. Where Scorpio is moody and cryptic, Libra is open and friendly. Scorpios have a lot of emotional depth, while Libras tend to focus on fun and lighthearted topics, which can lead Scorpio to feel like Libra is too superficial. Plus, neither sign handles conflict well; Libra can be passive, and Scorpio tends to disengage when upset.
- Sign details: Libra is a cardinal air sign ruled by Venus, the planet of beauty and love. This makes Libra a charming, outgoing, and fair-minded sign.
- This couple’s biggest challenge: Lack of communication during disagreements.
- How to make it work: Libra and Scorpio may need to work on their conflict resolution skills. Both must make an effort to talk to one another when they’re upset, since they normally avoid conflict.
3
Gemini Gemini and Scorpio are often emotionally at odds. Scorpio is deep and intense right from the beginning, often fixating on the object of their affection, while Gemini is light and carefree, preferring to keep things casual at the start of a relationship. This can cause friction; Scorpio might think Gemini is too flighty, while Gemini might feel too restricted by strong-willed Scorpio.
- Sign details: Sagittarius is a mutable air sign ruled by Mercury, the planet of communication. Gemini is a smart, charismatic, and playful sign.
- This couple’s biggest challenge: Contrasting outlooks on life and needs in a relationship.
- How to make it work: They’ll need to work through their differences. Scorpio may be able to look past Gemini’s flightiness to admire their humor and intellect, while Gemini can appreciate Scorpio’s practicality and grounding presence.
4
Sagittarius Sagittarius’s fiercely independent nature can clash with Scorpio’s controlling side. When a Scorpio woman falls for a Sagittarius man, she’ll often approach the relationship with an all-or-nothing attitude; she wants total devotion and an intense connection. Carefree Sagittarius might see this as restrictive, even though Scorpio really just wants to feel secure in the relationship.
- Sign details: Sagittarius is a mutable fire sign ruled by Jupiter, the planet of expansion and growth. This makes Sagittarius free-spirited, intellectual, and optimistic.
- This couple’s biggest challenge: Their lack of understanding of one another’s boundaries.
- How to make it work: Boundaries are important for both signs. Scorpio needs commitment, while Sagittarius needs space to do things by themselves. Both signs must share those needs and find a happy medium between them.

Be honest and straightforward with her at all times. A Scorpio woman’s careful intuition makes her extra sensitive to any kind of deceit, and dishonesty is a surefire way to drive her away. For all that she likes to appear mysterious and aloof, Scorpio ladies don’t like to play games when it comes to romance. Give her the transparency and sincerity she needs, and she’ll see that she can trust you. ^{[7]

- Remember, the goal here isn’t to mislead her or make her feel like she doesn’t know the real you. Be vague about details yet honest and authentic about the information you do share.
