- Scorpio: say what’s wrong instead of withdrawing.
The astrology behind this match
Inconjunct (five signs apart)
These signs have neither element nor modality in common, so the connection asks for constant adjustment. What feels natural to one can feel strange to the other. With curiosity and patience, though, this can become a fascinating relationship where each partner discovers a completely different way of seeing the world.
Fire and water can create steam or put each other out. Fire is direct and outgoing; water is sensitive and private. The connection can be intense, but it needs gentleness and patience.
A cardinal sign starts things and a fixed sign sustains them. This can be a productive mix, as long as the fixed partner doesn’t resist every new idea.
