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."
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."

Compatibility overview
Fair warning, Chinese astrology is known to take no prisoners when it comes to combinations believed to attract challenging energy. The match between firsteast and secondeast is famously oppositional, a clash between refinement and flamboyance that can produce all manner of tensions. It's not all bad news for this pair, however. Under the right conditions, struggles can yield important benefits for this original "odd couple".

The match between Rabbit and Rooster is one of the six notorious Opposite combinations, where signs are directly opposed across the Chinese zodiac wheel. These pairings are classically associated with jarring confrontation and enduring instability.
In this case, the celebrated bravado and perseverance of the Rooster runs headlong into the Rabbit's uniquely sensitive refinement. The poor Rabbit, easily over-awed by the Rooster's in-your-face attitude, may feel endlessly wounded by apparent slights or heartlessness, causing them to run for cover at every available opportunity. The Rooster, meanwhile, is likely to feel as if they have to constantly walk on eggshells due to what they perceive as the Rabbit being thin-skinned and precious. Hence this combination can easily aggravate the weaknesses of both signs. Direct or indirect confrontations may lead to the Rooster becoming increasingly self-absorbed and brash, while the Rabbit sinks ever deeper into bouts of isolation or maudlin depression.
With Opposite matches in the Chinese zodiac, however, there is always an upside. In any joint venture, each of these two oppositional signs supplies an abundance of energy in precisely the area where the other is most lacking. Thus, if the Rabbit's aesthetic values can be channelled alongside the Rooster's enterprising spirit, there may be potentially fantastic prospects for success. Any kind of collaboration, association, even public conflict, is capable of attracting wild levels of attention. Sometimes, these two can be so different in their instincts they may tend to be dismissive of one another's successes.
With positive energy on the Western side, or highly-evolved self-knowledge, these two signs can come together in spite of everything to achieve other-worldly triumphs.

Quentin Tarantino (3/27/1963, Aries Rabbit), Spike Lee (3/20/1957, Pisces Rooster) : A feud between the two celebrated film-makers reportedly dates back to Tarantino's 1997 film, Jackie Brown, which Lee argued made gratuitous use of the N-word. Following the release of Django Unchained in 2012, Lee tweeted (using characteristic capitalization): "American Slavery Was Not A Sergio Leone Spaghetti Western. It Was A Holocaust. My Ancestors Are Slaves. Stolen From Africa. I Will Honor Them."
Les Paul (6/9/1915, Gemini Rabbit), Leo Fender (8/10/1909, Leo Rooster) : The competition between these famous inventors has been credited with inspiring the most important electric guitars in history, the Gibson Les Paul and Leo Fender's Telecaster and Stratocaster. After having an opportunity to play Fender's new sold body guitar, Les Paul reportedly told an executive at Gibson's parent company, "[I]f you don't do something, Fender will rule the world."
Maria Sharapova (4/19/1987, Aries Rabbit), Serena Williams (9/26/1981, Libra Rooster) : The intense competitiveness between these two famous former world No. 1 tennis players has been described by some as a feud. Reflecting on their on and off court relationship, Sharapova has commented, "Serena and I should be friends; we have the same passion. But we are not. I think, to some extent, we have driven each other. Maybe that’s what it takes. Only when you have that intense antagonism can you find the strength to finish her off. Who knows?"
Saul Bellow (6/10/1915, Gemini Rabbit), Philip Roth (3/19/1933, Pisces Rooster) : These famous writers shared a mutual respect, with the older and more established writer, Bellow, mentoring the younger prodigy, Roth. After Roth's last ever interview, the interviewer Asaf Galay reported that, "[Roth said] he missed arguing with [Bellow] at the table, but that Bellow was not a good friend. He said something like: 'He wouldn’t be the first guy whose companionship I’d seek out in the afterlife'."
Lauryn Hill (5/26/1975, Gemini Rabbit), Wyclef Jean (10/17/1969, Libra Rooster) : The two musicians were members of the band The Fugees and had a tumultuous affair during which both were involved with other people. In his memoir, Purpose: An Immigrant's Story, Jean describes the intense attraction between him and Hill as well as a relationship that was toxic. He writes: "You can hear the tension in the music, all of that impossible love...It was like we knew it wasn’t going to work from the start, but we couldn’t shy away...The way we related we couldn’t sustain because it was this whirlwind of creativity, this success, this performance."
50 Cent (7/6/1975, Cancer Rabbit), Jay-Z (12/4/1969, Sagittarius Rooster) : These two famous rappers have known each other for many years and were involved in a famous beef in 2009. 50 Cent has since described their relationship as strictly "business": "We are in the same business. We are not necessarily friends. We don’t call each other for no reason. It’s not like we have something against each other to make us enemies. Me and Jay will use each other. Repeatedly. For energy."

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.
