Relations with other element signs

Water signs are seen as being complementary to the earth signs who provide them with the stability that they need to develop, whilst the water signs allow the earth signs to work more effectively. Although water signs are often, according to astrological theory, attracted to fire signs because of their ardent, passionate character, in general water signs will eventually find fire signs much too rude, outspoken, and honest to be comfortable with them. Water signs are supposed to have strong aversity, even hatred, for air signs, whose personalities they regard as shallow, uncaring, cold, and excessively worldly, though sometimes an air sign can balance out the traits of a water sign (thus creating a great friendship).

Sun Aspects

An aspect is simply the relationship between two planets along the 360 degree circle of the horoscope. Because the ruling planet is within the rising sign, in this case Scorpio, we may determine the compatibility Scorpions share with other zodiac signs, simply by measuring the difference between the two rising signs.


The Conjunction A Sign which varies less then 10 degrees apart from Scorpio, for example, another Scorpio, or a Sagittarius/ Libra if the two individuals have both been born on the same zodiac cusp. These two will have a strong and powerful effect upon one another, which may be very beneficial, however be weary of allowing the focus to become too intense.

The Trine A Sign which varies between 112 degrees and 129 degrees apart from Scorpio, for example, Pisces and Cancer. These signs all fall under the same water element. This creates a favorable and most harmonious union, bringing advantage and ease. Just do not allow your relationship to grow weak and lazy.

The Opposition A Sign which varies between 172 degrees and 189 degrees apart from Scorpio, for example, The Taurus. This is unharmonious. Opposition brings strain, discordance, or separation. However opposition is seen as a challenge to grow and achieve.

The Sextile A Sign which varies between 52 degrees and 69 degrees apart from Scorpio, for example, Capricorn and Virgo. These two are quite harmonious and favorable, bringing opportunity though not without a little hard work between the two to match one's fault with the other's strength.

The Square A Sign which varies between 82 degrees and 99 degrees apart from Scorpio, for example, Aquarius and Leo. This relationship will be both challenging and stressful, caused by obstacles the square places in order to teach important lessons. By overcoming difficulties strength in character and motivation to succeed may be established.

Any signs not mentioned in this section are not considered practical unions due to conflicting nature and tendencies between the two competing signs. However if more information is needed, These Aspects may be translated into comparing the planets in your horoscope with another persons planets. By comparing the Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, and Jupiter of your two horoscopes, a more detailed account of the relationship may be established.

Sexuality

Scorpio is the sign that rules sexuality and the powers of lust. But their passion is only as deep and profound as it is because it is connected with the ultimate gift of sex.....life. And these are the beings unafraid to face either life or death and that fearlessness translates into their sexual expressions. They can reach the highest highs or the lowest lows in whatever passion they pursue and they are the most intense, uninhibited and dynamic lovers in the zodiac. It comes with deep attachment and needs and a driving urge to come to terms with the enormity of life.


Exaltation

Scorpio though the house of Mars, yet generally accepted for fruitful.
