Quincunx
Signs in a quincunx share neither element nor modality. The attraction comes from being different, but your partner's logic can be hard to follow. These couples need flexibility and a willingness to adjust.
Elements
Fire and water make steam and passion. The fire partner acts on impulse and speaks bluntly, the water partner feels deeply and remembers hurt. The attraction can be very strong, and so can the clashes: one feels smothered, the other feels wounded. This couple has to learn to handle each other gently.
Pace and temperament
The cardinal sign starts, the fixed sign sustains. One sets the direction, the other provides stability. Friction appears when the first wants change and the second wants to keep things as they are.
Aries in love
In love, Aries is the pursuer. It enjoys the chase, shows feelings openly and wants an equally honest response. Boredom and coldness put out its fire faster than arguments do. Aries needs a partner who is not afraid of its energy and leaves room for excitement.
Scorpio in love
Scorpio loves with its whole being or not at all. It needs complete closeness - emotional, physical and built on trust. It is loyal and passionate, but jealous and slow to forgive betrayal. Shallow relationships simply do not interest Scorpio.
Why one sign isn't enough
Sign compatibility compares only the position of the Sun. Even two couples with the same signs have their Moon, Venus and Mars in different places - which is why it comes easily to some and takes work for others. Exact compatibility is calculated from both partners' birth charts.
