VII - HOW SCORPIO MATES WITH OTHER SIGNS

WITH ARIES . . . stormy. (See Chapter I, page 14).

TAURUS .. . good. (See Chapter II, page 21).

GEMINI ... a tough combination. (See Chapter III, page 30).

CANCER . . . good. (See Chapter IV, page 37).

LEO ... no good! (See Chapter V, page 45).

VIRGO . . . possible. (See Chapter VI, page 53).

LIBRA . . . difficult. (See Chapter VII, page 62).

SCORPIO . . . impossible: they would probably reason and argue their heads off; jealous of each other's achieve­ments and successes. Each is too proud to make up after a quarrel, and would finally suffer torture, rather than admit that the union is a failure.

SAGITTARIUS ... no attraction; they would not enjoy or respect each other's philosophy of life. For Scorpio things are either black or white, and she is strict with herself and with others. Sagittarius' lackadaisical man­ners and comradery are a thorn in the side of Scorpio, which is too critical to feel at ease in such company.

CAPRICORN ... a struggle; a tug-of-war in their emo­tional life together, mostly due to Scorpio's jealousy and possessiveness; but Capricorn is jealous too. Mentally and spiritually it can work out, if Scorpio will learn to respect Capricorn's capability to decide issues for him­self; for Scorpio, very efficient, questions any decision other than her own, until she proves it for herself. Both need to learn to give more freely of themselves, if they are to receive the affection both need.

AQUARIUS ... extremely difficult; this makes a strange couple. Scorpio, intense, turbulent with pent-up emo­tion, could not understand Aquarius' detached attitude and refusal to fight. Aquarius on the other hand, will not be owned by anyone, while Scorpio is violently pos­sessive and intensely jealous.

PISCES . . . possible, if Pisces does not mind being or­dered about by Scorpio, who will always be the boss. Both are highly emotional, which Scorpio can .efficiently put to work, whereas Pisces' emotions are dreamy. Hap­piness depends on how Scorpio responds to the impracti­cal side of Pisces, since everything must be checked by Scorpio in person. Scorpio should learn the value and sincerity of Pisces' eager sympathy, to obtain the real help that Pisces has to offer.

Thus, Scorpio mates best with Taurus, Cancer, Virgo and Pisces.
