Scorpio and Aquarius compatibility: love, marriage and friendship

Signs are
4th and 10th from each other
Vedic sign score
7.5 of 12 (Bhakoot 7/7, Graha Maitri 0.5/5)

In short: by sign alone, Scorpio and Aquarius are a fair match that needs some work. Real compatibility depends on the whole birth charts of both people, especially the Moon signs, Venus and the 7th house.

How you connect

Air thinks; water feels. Air can seem detached to water, and water can seem moody to air, yet each fills the other's gap.

Both of you are fixed signs: loyal and determined, but slow to change your minds. Small compromises prevent long stand-offs.

Your signs are at a square angle: there's friction between home and ambition, which pushes you both to grow.

Love and marriage

This pair works with patience: air learns to listen to feelings, water learns to put them into words.

The Vedic view (Moon signs)

In Indian astrology, compatibility is read from the Moon signs (rashi) of the two people. Two of the eight kootas in Ashtakoot matching depend only on the signs: Bhakoot (7 points) and Graha Maitri (5 points).

In simple words: the signs get on reasonably well; some differences need patience. The birth stars of both people decide the rest of the match.

For astrology students: Bhakoot, Graha Maitri, Varna and Vashya

Your signs are 4th and 10th from each other, which gives the full 7 of 7 Bhakoot points in Vedic matching.

Scorpio is ruled by Mars and Aquarius by Saturn. Mars treats Saturn as neutral and Saturn treats Mars as an enemy, giving 0.5 of 5 Graha Maitri points.

Two more kootas depend only on the signs, but they are read from the groom's side, so they can differ depending on who is who:

PairVarna (1)Vashya (2)Graha Maitri (5)Bhakoot (7)
Groom Scorpio, bride Aquarius110.57
Groom Aquarius, bride Scorpio000.57

Varna: Scorpio is Brahmin, Aquarius is Shudra. Vashya group: Scorpio is Keeta (insect), Aquarius is Manava (human). Together these four give up to 15 of the 36 points.

The other 21 points (Tara, Yoni, Gana and Nadi) come from the birth stars (nakshatras), so check the full 36-point match with both birth dates: free kundli matching.

Tips for this pair

  • Listen without fixing.
  • Give reassurance often.
