Scorpio and Aquarius Compatibility

Scorpio and Aquarius are three signs apart, a square between fixed water and fixed air. Scorpio lives through strong emotion and seeks complete closeness. Aquarius lives through thought and seeks independence. Both have powerful wills, and both are confident they are correct.

Are Scorpio and Aquarius compatible?

It is a fascinating match with low default ease. Chemistry is good, communication is moderate and long-term ease is the lowest score. Two fixed signs in a square rarely give ground, so the pair’s willingness to compromise matters a great deal.

• Chemistry 8/10
• Communication 6/10
• Long-term 5/10

How the scores are worked out: signs three apart (a square) start at 8, 4 and 5 for chemistry, communication and long-term ease. Aquarius’s air adds a point of communication and Scorpio’s water adds a point to the lowest score, communication. Overall: 6.3/10, which the Codex calls “Rewarding work”.
