Aries and Scorpio in love
In love there's magnetism and strong emotions: Fire wants action, Water wants depth. They can ignite each other or hurt each other; the key is minding how things are said.
In friendship and work
In friendship and work they divide things up well: one opens the way and the other sustains it to the end.
Why they get along this way
Element — Steam and transformation. Fire heats Water and Water can put out Fire: magnetism and intensity, with the challenge of regulating the temperature.
Rhythm. Aries is cardinal — inicia — and Scorpio is fixed — sostiene. Different rhythms: what one doesn't do, the other can.
Polarity. Aries is Yang and Scorpio is Yin: one goes outward and the other inward, and that balances them or pulls them apart.
Rulers. Aries is ruled by Mars (action and desire); Scorpio, by Pluto and Mars (transformation; action and desire).
What each one brings
Aries: initiative and leadership, courage and energy and enthusiasm.
Scorpio: intensity, transformation and depth.
Where they can clash
Aries: impatience, impulsiveness and a tendency toward confrontation.
Scorpio: jealousy, control and revenge.
How to look after the bond
Ask before assuming: what's obvious to one isn't to the other.
