Aquarius and Scorpio Friendship: Do They Get Along Well?
With major differences in their personality traits, Aquarius and Scorpio will struggle making a compromise in their friendship. As long as they see opportunities in their bond and keep the differences at bay, they could manage being good companions and friends in need. Can Aquarius and Scorpio be best friends? What strengthens the bond between Scorpio and Aquarius? Will the friendship between Aquarius and Scorpio survive till the end?
Here is what astrology reveals about the friendship compatibility between Aquarius and Scorpio:
Are Aquarius and Scorpio good friends?
This is a pair that would need to walk on a tightrope and often hide their true feelings to keep away heated arguments from spoiling their friendship. It could go either way, from very destructive to the most constructive forces you could ever meet. This is a friendship that will hang in the extremes, either too good or too bad depending on the other planetary positions in their charts. There will be emotional turbulence which the Aquarius man or woman may find too inconvenient to make peace with. On the other hand, the Aquarius native may seem too superficial and wild to tame. It will definitely be a walk on eggshells for the Scorpion loves to control and dominate while the Aquarius is too sensitive about their freedom and independence.
They'll need to maintain a fine balance of emotions and rationality if the friendship is to stand the test of time. Their fixation and egos will clash on a daily basis making it troublesome to arrive at a midpoint on a contentious issue. Scorpios are possessive of their friends too. They love being in charge and expressing their ownership over what is dear to them. This will be irritating to the Aquarius who desires an unrestricted lifestyle, free from the chains of the material realm. They could not just relate to the expanse of the information each possesses but also the depth of the connection will be beyond an ordinary casual connection.
What does Aquarius like about Scorpio?
Aquarius appreciates the aggressive loyalty and passion of the Scorpio Zodiac sign. Their honesty is unquestionable and with someone as blunt as the Scorpio, it is easy to communicate without inhibitions. There are layers to a Scorpio's personality and their ability to easily adapt to a situation allows them to blend and keep pace with the ever evolving thoughts of the Aquarius. It is always complicated around the Scorpio man or Scorpio woman when their energy is misunderstood.
Scorpios take time to react after a careful evaluation of the merits or demerits of the circumstances. The men and women born under the Scorpio Zodiac sign like to engage in fun-filled activities with the Aquarius friend and have fun together in adventurous pursuits. They could talk endlessly, finding a comforting space to discuss their ‘strange' ideas with. If the Scorpio learns to direct their energy into productive activities and find instances to be light-hearted, Aquarius will be able to make sense of a certain positive personality trait of the Scorpio male or female.
What does Scorpio like about Aquarius?
Aquarius can hold the attention of the Scorpio with his unique ideas and a humanistic spirit. Scorpios can relate to their need to make a difference to the world and leave back a legacy for the future generations. Aquarians are dedicated to a social cause often to the extent of forgetting about themselves in the process. Aquarius is a cool zodiac sign that can avoid being too personal in conversations and taking matters to their heart. So, the Scorpio will feel a natural affinity towards Aquarius who likes to keep it boredom free. They want to bring in new changes and create a joyful world for the whole of mankind. They are rebellious and the spirit to fight for change is a laudable trait.
Aquarius being a futuristic sign can show a new world to the Scorpio which they could never imagine. While Scorpios could rely on the past and often sulk in vengeance, the men and women born under the Aquarius Zodiac sign will bring in a fresh perspective to their life with their ability to think big. As a sign where the ruler of Aquarius gets exalted, Scorpios do see the possibility of growth with the Aquarius native. They'll want to immerse themselves in a project together and think of its possible fruition.
Aquarius and Scorpio differences
Aquarius and Scorpio have major differences of opinions. It could be difficult to reconcile their differences given the fact that they belong to elements which hardly could be considered compatible. It is challenging for them to place blind faith on each other. As signs that have different expectations from life, they would struggle to make real sense of their opposing needs.
As an air sign, Aquarius is torn between priorities and this could stifle any effort to build a stable foundation in the friendship. Scorpios as a water sign are rigid in their emotions and would never accept someone so dangerously close to them lacking respect for the intensity of their feelings. They need the assurance of faithfulness and undoubted loyalty or they could show the Aquarius the door out of their life. An Aquarius man or woman cannot be committed to something that demands much of their time and focus. They would bluntly refuse to be tied down and feel obligated towards anyone, not even a lover. Unless the Scorpio practices detachment and lets the Aquarius be, this friendship will burn too bright too soon.
Intensely packed with energy, these Zodiac signs should not feel provoked. Aquarius natives are untameable and as soon as the Scorpio realizes this, they would feel vulnerable and threatened. As a secretive sign, Scorpio natives are too guarded to let anyone into their private space unless their trust is won over and they feel safe. Aquarius needs to understand the delicate core of the Scorpio and ensure that they'll make efforts to sympathize and be there when they need them. Scorpios often feel insecure when Aquarius wanders away. As long as Scorpios are reassured and comforted and the Aquarius learns to value the Scorpios passion and territoriality, they'll find something in common to keep the friendship alive and burning.
