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 (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.

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."

In Chinese astrology, the high-water mark of compatibility is usually the other members of each sign's own Trine Family—like the elements in Western astrology. However, each sign also has a special Soulmate connection with one sign from their kindred Trine Family. The Horse and Sheep share this exceptional Soulmate energy.

In the right circumstances, communication will flow easily from the get-go. The Sheep can be fretful in other company, but the Horse's brand of passionate independence calms and delights them in equal measure. When the Sheep is at ease, there is no more enchanting a creature in the Chinese zodiac, and the Horse will likely find the effects irresistible.

The real marvel of this connection, as it matures, is how the traits of these two souls complement and enhance one another. The Sheep's creative gifts are brilliant but risk being stifled by hesitancy and fragility. The Horse contributes a decisive, free-thinking independence that builds the Sheep's self-worth and gives them the confidence to share their gifts at large. The Horse, meanwhile, has a tendency towards excessive detachment and selfishness, which can make them lonely and insensitive towards others. The charms of the Sheep are capable of effortlessly breaking down the Horse's defences, making them more approachable and understanding, and softening their wilful nature with a sense of closeness and belonging.

It can be helpful to bear in mind that, as the Horse and Sheep grow closer, their Soulmate connection may be demanding. A bit like a Stradivarius, the music here can be divine if everything is tuned correctly, but problems—such as competing allegiances or excessive self-doubt—can feel especially awful. If these two signs are able to prioritize their relationship, however, and give their shared energy the scope to fulfil its potential, the prospects for successful collaboration and loving support are virtually limitless.

Final Words

firstwest and secondwest share a sometimes harsh Square connection. Chances are, disagreements will occur frequently, and be stubbornly difficult to resolve. Yet this confrontational energy can be an almost unparalleled source of personal growth and self-knowledge. In this pairing, the potential benefits of the Square may prove especially accessible—the prized Soulmate connection of firsteast and secondeast offers almost infinite scope for nourishment and closeness. Soulmate energy is demanding, so these two will need to give each other plenty of attention to avoid the Square energy on the Western side taking over and causing bickering or resentment. But if these two are sufficiently available for one another, the riches could be incalculable.
