Aquarius & Scorpio

The reading

Demanding

Aquarius and Scorpio: Air and Water mix unevenly, neither natural allies nor opposites. Both are fixed signs, so they meet the world the same way and can lock horns over control.

What that means

This is a demanding pairing. Aquarius and Scorpio have to work at it consciously. The friction is there, and so is the room it creates for growth.
