Strengths as a Couple
Ironically for the Fixed Water sign of Scorpio, they’re raging infernos of intensity and emotion contained in the shell of a human being. Passionate, and intense as they are, a romantic encounter with another Scorpio is an equally intense prospect.
The sheer strength and intensity they conversely share in their sign give them the opportunity to purge their worst aspects. Burning away their doubts, and shining a light so bright on their internal inhibitions that they become stronger and purer versions of themselves.
This is, admittedly a rare event, but if the pair put a serious effort into it, it is possible for these infamously intense signs to tame each other. For in their shared, briny depths, there is a combined understanding that only two Scorpios can ever share on the table, this may, in of itself, be strong enough to bind them together.
Scorpio’s inner nature is dictated by the 4th planet from the Sun, Mars. No wonder then that those born under this sign are prone to causing conflict, if not without by challenging others with their radical and provocative ideas, then the inner conflict that they possess within themselves suffices. Thankfully, Pluto is their prudence, for their need for power holds their force back, and holds their tongue.
Weaknesses as a Couple
The thing with large fires is that they will need the same resources to keep themselves alive. So, if the resources of air and kindling aren’t available, they tend to snuff each other out.
Sadly, that is the fate of most Scorpio pairings in our lives. Their intensity is a boon on an individual level as it means they can provide strong contrast for someone with a more flexible or mild-mannered sign such as Pisces or Cancer. As a couple, however, that intensity can very easily singe each other with a flare they only saw in themselves before, and as such, Scorpios are rarely equipped to face their own demons with their tactics.
Not helped that their inner nature is dictated by Pluto and Mars. Pluto wants power, and if Scorpio gives in, they will seek out to assert that power wherever and whenever they can. The Martial prowess of Mars will not help, as the diplomat’s pen will give way to the warrior’s blade very easily.
They are both of the Fixed Water sign, and along with the stubborn nature of being a fixed sign, it's combined with the great depths of water. Many monsters lurk in those depths, and two Scorpios can bring them to the surface like beasts of old to clash violently as they would clash with each other.
Compatibility
Romance
It comes as no surprise that romantically speaking, two Scorpios will find themselves dealing with a profound intensity with each other from the word go. As they’re dictated by forces of raw power and sensual energies, their shared love will be out of this world.
Despite their watery origins, this couple shares many attributes with the Sun in the sky. Yes, they are intense, but that intensity comes at the cost of stability; with themselves and each other, the Fixed Water pairing will struggle to find serenity in their time.
On the flip side, however, there will never be a dull moment for the pair, as the rollercoaster of highs and lows will keep them vested in each other like moviegoers with an action flick: they'll want to know what comes next.
There are ways to alleviate this. Scorpio tends to struggle to open up, but thankfully with someone who understands them better than anyone else around, that difficulty can be amended somewhat. Furthermore, the low and slow method is advised for this couple, as it allows them to properly mellow each other out.
Activities
These Scorpios are great at planning and strategy. Pluto likes being in control, and nothing makes that feeling of control stronger than a methodically plotted means of executing their desires.
There, however, lies the problem, as execution is neither of these fixed Water signs high point. After all, no plan survives contact with the real world. Especially with these two mildly belligerent Water signs.
They’ll be squabbling to assert dominance, wanting to get their way, struggling to steer their ship, and so on. Even if their plans allegedly align, the road to get to that destination might be very different for each other.
It's well-advised that these two do their best to keep one another in check and give each other the time and leeway they require to operate together or else the relationship will fall apart at the seams.
Communication
The Water Sign couple is fortunate when it comes to correspondence. Being of the same sign, they operate under the same rules and ideas; so finding common ground is easy for the Scorpio pair.
One thing the Scorpios must expect is to face down some very deep and difficult conversations with one another. The intense stuff like plans for the future or what to do as a couple. These talks will be difficult, but the weight will be off their shoulders as soon as they realize they’ve finally found a mutual understanding with someone else.
Much like the rest of the relationship, however, there will be a lot of challenges for this pair to face in terms of communication. So they have to be assured that they have a workable and comfortable arrangement or the risk of getting on each others’ bad sides.
Values
The Fixed Water pairing have certain ideas and expectations they have for one another and will often espouse being X or Y, though not hypocritical, they will often struggle to maintain those virtues they claim they have.
Among their most prized values are rationality and emotional maturity in all things. This seems to be oxymoronic for a Scorpio to ask for, as their impulsivity and heavy reliance on emotion will mean they will always go against this grain that they’ve made for themselves.
They might also find that they project their worst aspects to one another so they can ignore the faults in their own stars, so to speak. So, a question that they need to answer together is thus: How much stock are they willing to put into each other?
Emotions
As a human manifestation of the Water element, Scorpio is at once a representation of, and is deeply immersed in, the dark side of our true natures. They talk about the dark things we refuse to speak about in our minds and have embraced it as part of their own.
Because of this, a Scorpio pairing will be more up-front with confronting that darkness and be capable of doing marvelous things with that knowledge; they’ll be able to tell the world like it is and trusts each other enough to make good with that darkness.
Their feelings however will tend to cause problems as their true natures will be secretive and private, the sort of secrecy and privacy that will kill a relationship if kept unchecked is their SOP. Patience and tolerance with each others’ immutable nature are heavily advised and will help them greatly in this regard. An open line means help is not far away.
Healing Crystals for Scorpio and Scorpio
Agate
One glaring problem with this couple is the fact that they have the tendency to go overboard. Both positively and negatively, such a leap towards the unrealistic tends to do more harm than good.
With that, this pair will need something that can pull them back to reality. As such, no other healing crystal comes close to this description other than Agate!
Perhaps the most popular and common earth crystal, Agate is known to bring balance and stability. Grounding you back to your roots, its energy commands you to remember your footing. By empowering that inner maturity in you, Agate can aid in helping you remain calm and collected even in the midst of a rollercoaster of emotions.
Thus, you can take advantage of this healing crystal by wearing it as an ornament. In this way, you can constantly remind yourself and your partner to remain in touch with what is instead of dwelling in the uncertainties that life has to offer.
Crystal Quartz
While emotions are definitely the strongest point of Scorpio, such strength is sometimes too much for them to handle. Just imagine two occasionally overly sentimental beings coming together… and you’ll quickly realize that it’s either the best or the worst moments of their lives.
Either way, clarity is ultimately necessary. Since both can drown in their own passions, knowing limits is essential in order to grow and move forward.
With that, Crystal Quartz is definitely a great companion to be with. Known to bring clarity and take away confusion on the conscious and subconscious levels of our minds, this healing crystal is perfect for them to overlook the small things.
By having this healing crystal as their companion, this pair can ensure that they are moving in the right and stable direction.
Black Tourmaline
Given the emotional nature of both signs, it is easy to say that a hint of negativity is more than enough to throw them off. Since negativity can affect them in ways that are stronger compared to how it affects other signs, this couple should be careful of catching a few bad fights and turning it into silent grudges against each other.
While they are indeed great communicators with their power of intuition, such doesn’t guarantee that the other will always understand. Since they’re not used to opening up logically, problems may be assessed only from the emotive and intuitive levels, often missing out on the literal and reasonable things.
With that, Black Tourmaline is a great crystal companion for them. Taking away the negative energies before it even grows, this healing crystal will work its wonders in the background. While it doesn’t highlight itself, it is always active 24/7 in ensuring that negative energies don’t get past it.
