Aries and Scorpio
Compatibility overview
This mysterious match is a bit like a riddle without an answer. Neither confrontational nor directly aligned, firstwest and secondwest tend to move in almost completely separate orbits. This leads some astrologers to claim they have nothing in common. Yet such a superficial reading misses the great potential of this match for creative collaboration and individual growth.

The interval of five steps around the Western zodiac wheel, as between Aries and Scorpio, is known as a Quincunx (or inconjunct) aspect. This is a minor aspect, so the energy is gentler and more malleable than other influences.
These two were traditionally thought of as astrological strangers, having little connection between them at all. It is true that the elements here—Fire for Aries, Water for Scorpio—can be quite discordant. Aries is blessed with super-abundant, explosive energy, and child-like innocence. Scorpio's power, on the other hand, stems from a darker, more fluid, all-encompassing perspective. Hence Scorpio sometimes strikes Aries as heavy and depressing, where Aries can appear to Scorpio as noisily selfish and annoying. Both signs will probably think topics dearest to the other's heart are at best mildly interesting, if not basically a waste of time. The Quincunx aspect, however, means that tensions here are rarely too serious or aggressive. Instead, the relationship has a non-plussed, mystified quality: a sense of whatever, you do you.
As strange as it may seem, mutual puzzlement is one of this relationship's great strengths. Aries is a Cardinal modality sign, associated with purity and inception, which forms a perfect compliment to Scorpio's Fixed energy, with its focus on realization and achievement. These two signs are therefore ideal collaborators and partners, provided they respect each other's boundaries and operate within their own spheres of interest. Creative exploration is highly favoured, precisely because the relationship favours teamwork and individuality. Let's also not forget that these signs are among the Western zodiac's most prepossessing, each capable of lighting up a room with incredibly potent energy. It is important for conflicts to be addressed quickly, to avoid the dissimilarities between these two forming too wide a gulf.
With the right blend of separation and togetherness, this relationship can be a genuine delight, allowing both signs to achieve great personal fulfilment while forging a dependable and deeply rewarding shared connection.

Robert Downey Jr. (4/4/1965, Aries Snake), Susan Downey (11/6/1973, Scorpio Ox) : The actor and film producer have been married since 2005 and have two children. Susan Downey described in a joint interview: "[Some 'me' time is] key in any relationship. Whether you’re working together all of the time or not, you always have to give each other space and kind of read it. He’s a little bit of a slower start in the morning than I am. So I have to make sure that there’s enough coffee in his system before I start throwing questions his way." Robert added: "There is always that thing of love and respect. It is work, but it’s just so nice."
Quentin Tarantino (3/27/1963, Aries Rabbit), Daniella Pick (11/21/1983, Scorpio Pig) : The director and singer first met in 2009 during promotions for Tarantino's film, Inglourious Basterds. They married in 2018. Pick has been quoted as saying, "Quentin really loves my cooking...We spend a lot of time during the day together, laughing, talking. He’s a gentleman, romantic, funny, and a hunk."
Kourtney Kardashian (4/18/1979, Aries Sheep), Travis Barker (11/14/1975, Scorpio Rabbit) : The media personality/model and musician have been close friends since at least 2018 and married in 2022. Together they share six children from previous relationships. Speaking in 2021, Barked described: "I dated girls who didn't have kids and I find it hard because they would have trouble understanding like, 'Why don't you want to go to dinner every night with me?' or 'Why don't you want to see me every night?' And now I'm spending time with a woman who's a great mom, who's a great friend and you don't have to worry about any of those things. It just comes natural, it's like a maturity thing. And I also really like missing someone and cherishing the time that I spend with them instead of every day being with them."
Ethel Kennedy (4/11/1928, Aries Dragon), Robert F. Kennedy (11/20/1925, Scorpio Ox) : The former United States Attorney-General and human rights advocate were married for 18 years and had 11 children, before his assassination in 1968. One biographer has written: "There’s a reason that Ethel has lived with these rumors [of infidelity] for 50 years and has stopped listening to or reading about them...What she cared about is not only did Bobby always come home, but that he came home to her and the kids...He hugely loved Ethel Kennedy. They’re one of the great romances of American politics."
Jackie Chan (4/7/1954, Aries Horse), Owen Wilson (11/18/1968, Scorpio Monkey) : The two actors starred memorably in the films Shanghai Noon and Shanghai Knights. The chemistry between the leads was widely praised. Wilson described after the sequel: "I'd gotten to be friends with Jackie on the first [film]. I knew what a hard worker he was...[Chan] goes on the set, he kind of looks around and he sees something and he incorporates that into the scene. That was a really nice way for me to work too because I don't like to be tied down to necessarily how the script is if the scene doesn't work when you get on set. I like it free."
Elton John (3/25/1947, Aries Pig), David Furnish (10/25/1962, Scorpio Tiger) : The legendary musician and film-maker have been together for over 20 years. In 2005, they were one of the first couples in the UK to enter into the then-recently-introduced concept of a civil partership, and they married in 2014 shortly after the legalization of same-sex marriage in the UK. Elton posted in 2016, "23 years ago when I met this extraordinary man, I never dreamed that one day I would be able to legally marry the man I love. 2 years ago that dream became a reality. I want to thank everyone that fought to make that dream possible. I also want to thank all the wonderful friends and family who loyally stand by us and support us every day."

Compatibility overview
Much of Chinese astrology is about extremes of positive or negative energy. The combination of firsteast and secondeast, however, falls in the middle ground. Although these signs can have quite different instincts, meaning there is potential for conflict and tension at times, there are also some strong affinities that can foster a warm and supportive relationship.

Compatibility in the Chinese zodiac is generally based on four Trine Families (like the elements in Western astrology). The families of the Ox (with the Rooster and Snake) and the Tiger (with the Dog and Horse) have a reputation for not being very close, and in fact there are some problematic matches among them (e.g., Ox and Horse, or Tiger and Snake). The Ox and Tiger themselves, however, have much in common.
Both of these signs are drawn to leadership, and they each have a strong commitment to the values they hold dear. In early conversations, these two may well be greatly impressed by each other's ambitions and principles. Lively banter or sexual tension would be par for the course. The Ox will almost certainly respect the Tiger's nobility and dedication to causes, while the Tiger cannot help but admire the extraordinary strength and determination of the Ox. In fact, it is the similarities between these two that may prove the clearest source of potential tension.
Tasked with working together, the leadership styles of the Ox and Tiger may not always co-exist easily. The Tiger tends towards a varied pace, mixing idleness with blazing bursts of activity, whereas the Ox is known for steadiness and relentless willpower. The Ox inclines towards group efforts, where the Tiger's style is more independent. Most importantly, neither of these signs will be comfortable deferring to the other, and both will believe themselves entitled to deference.
Ultimately, it may be crucial for these two to arrange things so each can be in charge of their own projects, rather than collaborating all the time. If such an accord can be arranged, then the Ox and Tiger both have a deeply caring side to their personalities, and the relationship may prove a deeply warm and supportive connection.

Jane Fonda (12/21/1937, Sagittarius Ox), Ted Turner (11/19/1938, Scorpio Tiger) : The actor and media entrepreneur were married between 1991 and 2001. Speaking about the marriage in 2021, an 83-year-old Fonda explained: "I’m attracted to people who can teach me things and whose lives are different from mine...marrying Ted is like marrying 15 people — you have to learn how to hunt, so I did. You have to learn how to fly-fish, so I did."
Rooney Mara (4/17/1985, Aries Ox), Joaquin Phoenix (10/28/1974, Scorpio Tiger) : The two actors met in 2012 and have been a couple since 2017. Their son, named River Lee after Phoenix's late brother, was born in 2020. "She’s the only girl I ever looked up on the internet," Phoenix has said about Mara. "We were just friends, email friends. I’d never done that. Never looked up a girl online."
George Clooney (5/6/1961, Taurus Ox), Steven Soderbergh (1/14/1963, Capricorn Tiger) : The director and actor/director have collaborated on multiple occasions, including Out of Sight, Solaris, and the Ocean's Eleven series. Speaking about the his first film as a director, Confessions of a Dangerous Mind, Clooney described: "My first cut was about half an hour longer, and the first time I showed it to [Soderbergh] all together, he said, 'It's great, you're gonna cut, like, three of your favourite shots,' and I'm like, 'You're stoned, dude.' About a month later, I cut those shots, which killed me, but Steven was infinitely helpful ... it's a story told from three different narratives of a guy in three different periods in his life and sort of coming to terms with the idea of having a specific one that you could really focus on and that was where [Soderbergh] was really helpful in understanding that. It's a wild process."
Camila Cabello (3/3/1997, Pisces Ox), Shawn Mendes (8/8/1998, Leo Tiger) : The two singer/songwriters were in a relationship from 2019-2021. Despite rumors that the couple formed as a publicity stunt, both Cabello and Mendes insisted the relationship was real. Mendes described: "She is completely all in or nothing. And I think that’s something that I wasn’t at the beginning of our relationship. And I think that a lot of people maybe are afraid to be all in, because if you’re all in, then you kind of, it hurts it. The blow hurts that much more if it ends, you know? ... She’s so absolutely patient with me, especially when I’m stressed or anything is kind of getting to me. She’ll text me. And if I ever am kind of just being bite-y with her and she’d be like, ‘It’s okay. I love you. No matter what, I love you, no matter what.’ And it’s like, that’s real strength and patience and love. But it’s amazing. It’s like a movie."

Final Words
Frequently as mysterious to the signs themselves as to outsiders, the Quincunx connection between firstwest and secondwest has the potential to translate ostensibly dramatic differences into a stimulating and exciting connection. This quality of enchantment may be especially useful here, for although the firsteast and secondeast can rely on each other for admiration and kindheartedness, they may need some help developing close trust and affection.
