Very little that’s fragile
Scorpio and Aries were both traditionally ruled by Mars, so you’ve got a double dose of drive. You don’t give up in a fight, and you recover quickly from a loss, and people tend to respect you for it. You’re all or nothing: once you’re in, you put everything you have behind it. You also think fast, pick apart complicated situations, and speak up with few inhibitions, since you’re fairly sure you’ve understood it better than anyone else. You may be right. You may also come across as a touch arrogant.
You can be an excellent leader, but you don’t cooperate by nature, and an overly friendly stranger makes you suspicious.
Winning someone, then hearing them
You know who you want, and you set out to win them with zeal. It’s exciting, and your passion is more straightforward than most Scorpios’, with less smoldering and more enthusiasm. Once you’ve committed, you give everything and expect the same. You do best when you’ve got shared interests and a common cause to fight for together. A couple who are on the same team against the world is a lovely thing for you to be part of.
What’s easy to miss is the other person’s actual experience. You can roll right over someone’s feelings, assuming that your view is the one that counts. Then you may be astonished to find your home has become a battlefield, with the people you most care about. You may also push things deeper, faster, than the other person is ready for.
Listening as a discipline
If someone close to you says you’re being selfish, consider that they could be right, since they’re the one with the view. Try repeating back what they’ve said before you answer it. Before you escalate a new romance, use your Scorpio caution: wait, watch, ask. You’ve got enough will to do hard things, and listening is one of them. Your intensity should never leave anyone feeling afraid to disagree with you. Check that it doesn’t.
