Libra and Scorpio in love
In love they're fascinated by what they don't understand about each other. Water needs to feel accompanied; Air needs space. If they talk about it, they complement each other.
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 — Mind and emotion. Air tries to understand with its head what Water feels without words. They enrich each other if one listens and the other explains.
Rhythm. Libra is cardinal — inicia — and Scorpio is fixed — sostiene. Different rhythms: what one doesn't do, the other can.
Polarity. Libra is Yang and Scorpio is Yin: one goes outward and the other inward, and that balances them or pulls them apart.
Rulers. Libra is ruled by Venus (affection and pleasure); Scorpio, by Pluto and Mars (transformation; action and desire).
What each one brings
Libra: diplomacy, justice and harmony.
Scorpio: intensity, transformation and depth.
Where they can clash
Libra: indecision, avoiding conflict and superficiality.
Scorpio: jealousy, control and revenge.
How to look after the bond
Give yourselves time to get to know each other: what seems incompatible at first is often exactly what the other has to teach.
