Square matches like that between Aquarius and Scorpio bring explosive, confrontational energy. Even small and unimportant issues can produce heated debate. Serious matters could see these two duelling at dawn!

This potential for tension is due in part to the respective elements. The Air of Aquarius is associated with thinking and ideas, where the Water sign Scorpio operates more in the realm of feeling and sensation. Aquarians are generally accepting of everyone, but the intense emotional life of Scorpio may at times be overbearing and leave them needing a break. Scorpio, by contrast, will likely struggle with Aquarius' customary optimism and sometimes unorthodox behaviour, which to Scorpio may seem jarringly flippant or superficial. What's more, these are both Fixed modality signs, meaning they can each—albeit in markedly different ways—be resolute about getting their own way. Butting heads is an apt analogy, for when these two disagree, neither will want to back down, ever.

The friction attached to this pairing does have plenty of upside, however. For one thing, these two will almost certainly get each other's attention. Sexual chemistry and flirtatiousness are common, especially early in a relationship. In any context, the blend of confusion and curiosity between these signs tends to attract rather than repel. More importantly in the long term, this combination strongly favours maturing and growth. The tension here, sometimes playful, sometimes more serious, will help both parties recognize which core aspects of themselves are working and which must be abandoned for their own good. The result can be a powerful bond indeed.

It is true that, at times, the wisdom bestowed by this energy match may be most gratefully experienced in other relationships. However, many Aquarius/Scorpio matches are able to harness the benefits between themselves to form a sustained and powerfully nourishing alliance.

Sally Field and Burt Reynolds (click for attribution/s)

Sally Field (11/6/1946, Scorpio Dog), Burt Reynolds (2/11/1936, Aquarius Rat) : The two actors starred together in Smokey and the Bandit in 1977. Later, Reynolds described Field as "the love of my life" and said, "I don’t know why I was so stupid...You find the perfect person, and then you do everything you can to screw it up." In an emotional statement after Reynolds died in 2018, Field stated, "My years with Burt never leave my mind. He will be in my history and my heart, for as long as I live. Rest, Buddy."

Julia Roberts (10/28/1967, Scorpio Sheep), Daniel Moroder (1/31/1969, Aquarius Monkey) : The actor and cinematographer have been married since 2002. At the time they met, around 2000, both were involved with other people. Roberts has explained, "He sorted his whole thing out, separate and apart from me. And I sorted my life out, separate and apart from him. I think that’s the only reason we were able to ultimately fall in love with each other and be together."

Ashton Kutcher and Demi Moore (click for attribution/s)

Demi Moore (11/11/1962, Scorpio Tiger), Ashton Kutcher (2/7/1978, Aquarius Horse) : The two actors were married from 2005 to 2013 and for a time were one of the most famous celebrity couples in the world. Moore, who is 15 years older than Kutcher, has described, "When I met Ashton, it almost felt like a do-over, like I could just go back in time and experience what it was like to be young with him- much more so than I’d ever been able to experience it when I was actually in my 20s."

John Cleese (10/27/1939, Scorpio Rabbit), Camilla Cleese (1/24/1984, Aquarius Pig) : The father and daughter comedians announced in 2022 that they would be developing together a reboot of John Cleese's celebrated Fawlty Towers TV Show. Camilla Cleese had previously described how problems in her personal life led to a period of estrangement between them: "I think it was more just his approach of, 'You don’t have the privilege of being in our family until you straighten up your act.' But there was always a lot of love there, I don’t think it was out of spite or anything. It was what he felt would be most helpful for me – and it worked. It’s always hard because I was in a pretty bad place, but we made amends after. We’re closer than ever."

RuPaul (11/17/1960, Scorpio Rat), Georges LeBar (1/24/1973, Aquarius Rat) : The performer and author/artist have been together for over 20 years and married in 2017. RuPaul has said about LeBar, "He and I know that on this planet where there are millions and millions of people, the person I have found on this planet that I like the very most is him. And I know that for him the person he loves the most on this planet is me. I know that, there's no doubt in my mind."

Pig and Snake

Compatibility overview

In contrast to the usually more equivocal teachings of the Western zodiac, Chinese astrology takes no prisoners when it comes to matches that are considered unfavourable. Sadly, the match between the firsteast and secondeast has a terrible reputation for causing conflict and stress to both parties. There is another side to the coin, however—for, unsettling as it may be, this match is also capable of producing some stunning benefits.

Facing each other across the Chinese zodiac wheel are six Opposite matches, one of which is the combination of the Pig and Snake. Typically for this oppositional energy, it is hard to imagine two personalities with less in common than the seductive Snake and the pure-hearted Pig.

The Snake, gloriously attractive and profoundly philosophical in outlook, can also be calculating and ethically flexible when it comes to advancing their own interests. The Pig, by contrast, is the most trusting and benevolent of all the signs—any form of guile or subterfuge typically causes them distress. Communications between these two thus tend to become inevitably fraught. The Snake may feel as if their sage advice is being ignored, their cherished talents being belittled or wasted. The Pig, on the other hand, may sense either that they are being humiliated or manipulated, or that they are powerless to protect the Snake from being wounded. The potential weaknesses of both signs may thus be magnified, with the Snake becoming envious, conniving, or judgemental, the Pig turning to self-sabotage, over-indulgence, or belligerence.

A particular site of discord for these two is finances, or really any kind of shared resources. Even when relaxed, the Snake tends to be jealously guarded about expenditure. Faced with the carefree indulgences of the Pig, the Snake may have conniptions! The poor stressed Pig, meanwhile, is apt to lose themselves to extravagance or guilt. As strange as it may seem, however, there are some powerful redeeming features to this relationship. Indeed, in terms of ultimate results, this connection can prove every bit as fruitful as the challenges are disturbing. Because each of these signs is so strong in those character traits where the other is weakest, their combined qualities as a duo forms a complete spectrum of energy. Hence any kind of collaboration or association between these two—as difficult as it may be for the Snake and Pig themselves—can be brilliantly impactful.

Even if these two signs struggle to take as much pleasure in the process as they would with other signs, joint enterprises between the Snake and Pig can prove truly, transformationally, life-changing.

David Letterman and Oprah Winfrey (click for attribution/s)

Oprah Winfrey (1/29/1954, Aquarius Snake), David Letterman (4/12/1947, Aries Pig) : The pair of legendary talk show hosts shared a long-running tension, beginning with Winfrey's appearance on Late Night with David Letterman (1982-1993). After the two later reconciled, and Letterman appeared on Oprah's Next Chapter (2012—),Winfrey described: "You had asked me before to do [your show] in Chicago...and it was a terrible experience for me. The guy in the audience started yelling, ‘Get her, Dave!’ You were sort of baiting the audience, and there were a bunch of drunk guys down the front. I was trying to like, you know, mitigate the whole thing, and it felt so uncomfortable to me. I didn't want to have that experience again." Also reportedly contributing to the unease between them was Letterman leaving Winfrey with the bill at a restaurant they both happened to be visiting at the same time, Oprah refusing to acknowledge Letterman when they were in the same place, Letterman making fun of Oprah's name when he presented the 2010 Academy Awards ("Oprah? Uma [Thurman]. Uma? Oprah.").

Matthew Weiner (6/29/1965, Cancer Snake), Jon Hamm (3/10/1971, Pisces Pig) : The actor and writer/producer/director established a memorable legacy through their collaboration on the acclaimed TV show, Mad Men (2007-2017). Studio executives at AMC were apparently loath to cast Hamm in the lead role, but Weiner was adamant that he was the best choice. Hamm described later, "I auditioned about seven or eight times and I was just thinking, God, at this point, I've pretty much read every single scene in the pilot to somebody. What do I have to do?" A former SVP at AMC, Christina Wayne, described: "We were like, 'Really? This is the guy you want?' Matt [Weiner] was telling us he just knew it in his gut and he could see it."

Christopher Plummer and Julie Andrews (click for attribution/s)

Julie Andrews (10/1/1935, Libra Pig), Christopher Plummer (12/13/1929, Sagittarius Snake) : The two actors memorably appeared together in The Sound of Music (1965). However, Plummer was less than complimentary about both the film—which he famously called, "The Sound of Mucus"—and acting with his co-star, which he described as, "[L]ike getting hit over the head with a Valentine card."

Simon Cowell (10/7/1959, Libra Pig), Howard Stern (1/12/1954, Capricorn Snake) : The two outspoken media personalities became involved in a heated feud, after Cowell replaced Stern as a judge on America's Got Talent (2006- ) in 2015. When hackers subsequently released internal Sony emails, they apparently revealed that Cowell had lobbied to have Stern fired and to replace him. Stern reportedly said on his radio show in 2019, "Personally would I love to see Simon Cowell [expletive] suck one up his [expletive]. In other words, would I love to see him fall flat on his face...My only beef with [Cowell] is he had a campaign behind my back, which I wouldn't have known if the Koreans hadn't hacked Sony. They exposed these emails he had going, 'We can get rid of Stern and I'll work for so much cheaper.' And by the way, if I had really wanted that job, then I would've been pissed. But I just find him sleazy and he is a liar."

Charlie Sheen and Denise Richards (click for attribution/s)

Denise Richards (2/17/1971, Aquarius Pig), Charlie Sheen (9/3/1965, Virgo Snake) : The two actors were married from 2002 to 2006. They had two children. Their divorce was famously acrimonious, including court proceedings and a custody dispute. Interviewed in 2022, Richards described: "The behind-the-scenes stuff was way worse than what was out there. It was really bad...There is a lot that the public doesn’t know, and you never know what goes on behind closed doors. It was not a good situation...[I asked myself, ] [w]ould I want my daughters to be married to this man? No offense to him, but it’s true. And I think he would take that, he would understand what I’m saying. ... It was very toxic."

Final Words

The Square combination of firstwest and secondwest may sometimes wonder if there is anything they agree about at all, yet this potent connection also offers rare opportunities for both signs to crystallize who they are and what they want out of life, and to cultivate greater self-awareness, patience and generosity in communicating. On the Chinese zodiac side, the energy between the firsteast and secondeast is similarly powerful and conflictive—though again there are countervailing positives, as few combinations can summon such a spectacular and impactful coalescence of energy. It may take a supreme effort to maintain this ferocious connection over the long term, but for as long as it endures, this is a recipe for a blazing, unforgettable relationship.
