How an Aries–Scorpio relationship usually unfolds

  1. At first. The attraction is strong and slightly dangerous; Aries pursues openly while Scorpio watches and decides in private.
  2. Once settled. Both signs belong to Mars in tradition, so the household has plenty of drive and plenty of fights about control.
  3. What keeps it working. Clearing disagreements on the day they happen — Aries forgets fast, Scorpio does not.
