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."

Travis Barker and Kourtney Kardashian

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."

Owen Wilson and Jackie Chan

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."

The Rabbit and Sheep are one of the most magical pairings in the Chinese zodiac.

A central element of Chinese astrology is the four Trine Families into which the twelve signs divide. One of these consists of the Rabbit and Sheep (along with their most generous ally, the Pig). These signs are bound together by a mutual love of aesthetic beauty, relaxation, and empathy. In the company of some other signs, they can both be quite easily overwhelmed, given their profound sensitivity to perceived ugliness, noise or aggression. But together, they will tend to lose themselves quickly in a wonderful atmosphere of tranquility.

The Sheep will likely be fascinated by the Rabbit's abundant skills and deeply romantic sensibility. Instinctively secure in the Rabbit's company, the Sheep is apt to unleash a true charm offensive, delighting and reassuring the gentle Rabbit. Perhaps no other sign is as capable of expressing pure hypnotic joy as the Sheep when they are at ease! While early exchanges are likely to have a flirtatious quality even in entirely chaste surroundings, the closer these two become, the more likely they are to realise the powerful creative potential of their shared energy. For these two signs are artists in their marrow.

As a pair, the Rabbit and Sheep are capable of expressing their shared aesthetic with extraordinary elegance and refinement, whether in professional projects or in building a home and life together. Given the freedom and peace they need, the results will almost certainly be breathtaking.

They were known for eccentric displays of affection, which included wearing vials of each other's blood, and Jolie gifting Thornton a pair of matching burial plots. In the foreword to Thornton's book, The Billy Bob Tapes: A Cave Full of Ghosts (2012), Jolie wrote: "Through the years I’ve known Billy I’ve learned that not only was he as interesting, as truly original, as had been told to me, but that he was also so much more…Some people walk through life able to quiet the voices in their heads. He can’t. And I, and everyone else who knows him well, we love him for it. I know one thing: the world would certainly be a hell of a lot more dull if that man weren’t in it."

Michael Jordan (2/17/1963, Aquarius Rabbit), Yvette Prieto (3/26/1979, Aries Sheep) : The legenday basketballer and model married in 2013. They have two children, twins born in 2014. Jordan has described: "I can count on one hand the girls I have dated seriously. Yvette is the third and … the third time’s the charm. She’s a fantastic girl and I like her. Aside from her beauty, which is obvious, she is loving, simple and very good person."

In accepting her Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress in 1996, for Mighty Aphrodite (1995), Mira said, "When you give me this award you honor my father Paul Sorvino who taught me everything I know about acting." Writing about her speech later, Mira described: "My love for my father has only continued to grow since this moment. All the love in my heart! He is the most loving father, the most brilliant actor, the most beautiful operatic tenor, the most talented visual artist—the wisest and most human advice giver, & best Grandpa ever!!"

Dermot Mulroney (10/31/1963, Scorpio Rabbit), Julia Roberts (10/28/1967, Scorpio Sheep) : The two actors are good friends, who worked together on the films, My Best Friend's Wedding (1997), and August: Osage County (2013). Mulroney described in 2016: "It doesn't always happen with every person that you love and work with -- you kind of go your separate ways. But we, against all odds, managed to maintain a great close friendship...[Roberts is] just one of the most genuine friends I have. She's a really generous person—great sense of humor and really caring. Great family, and she's been a good friend and role model for me."

Steve Jobs and Laurene Powell Jobs

Laurene Powell Jobs (11/6/1963, Scorpio Rabbit), Steve Jobs (2/24/1955, Pisces Sheep) : The two entrepreneurs were married from 1991 until Jobs' death in 2011. They had three children. Laurene Jobs described in 2020: "I can talk about him for hours. I met Steve when I was 25 years old. And from the day we met, we were together for 22 years. So he influenced everything. I grew up with him. Just like anyone that you share your life with, there’s an exchange and a robustness. We had a very, very beautiful and rich connection. We talked a lot, for hours every day. To pull out any one way in which he affected my worldview is impossible, because I have integrated so much of him."

Sidney Poitier (2/20/1927, Pisces Rabbit), Joanna Shimkus (10/30/1943, Scorpio Sheep) : The two actors were married from 1976 until Poitier died in 2022. Shimkus described in 1998: "I guess we were just destined to be [together]...It could be that we lead a very quiet life. It could be that it's just the way it is, I don't really know. But I never really did see him as a Black man. I mean, I know he is Black, but I just saw him as a man, and he was just a wonderful person. An amazing human being...The thing that attracted me to him the most, I think, is his integrity and his honesty [and] his loyalty to his family. He's just an amazing human being. He's just a good, good, good person. And he's cute too, yes! And he was especially gorgeous then. He still is too now, but he was very, very attractive then."

Mac Miller and Kendrick Lamar

Kendrick Lamar (6/17/1987, Gemini Rabbit), Mac Miller (1/19/1992, Capricorn Sheep) : The two rappers were friends who collaborated on songs including, "Fight the Feeling" (2012), and "God is Fair, Sexy Nasty" (2016). Speaking after Miller died tragically at age 26, Lamar described: "All in all that’s the type of person he was — just a good dude. Always made you feel good, just a great energy to have around...Great musician. Great writer. He just always had a smile on his face...No matter what he was going through, he didn’t make you feel sorry for him, you know? He was strong about it —always kept a smile on his face because he wanted you to smile, too. And that’s just something I always loved, you know, no matter whatever personal issues, he gave you that energy. He gave you that energy. It wasn’t no misery loves company with him, you know? He showed a smile and then you gave that smile right back. It made you feel good. So forever we’re gonna remember the life and we’re gonna remember that smile. Celebrate. Mac Miller. Love."
