Fire is direct and quick; water is sensitive and slow to process. There's chemistry, but fire can unintentionally hurt water, and water's moods can confuse fire.

  • •Fire brings courage to water's feelings, and water brings depth to fire's passion.
  • •The relationship never feels predictable.

Where it gets hard

  • •Fire's bluntness can land like criticism, and water's withdrawal can feel like a punishment.
  • •What comforts one of you can unsettle the other.

Aries in love

You want chemistry, honesty, and a relationship that still lets you feel like yourself. You don't enjoy guessing games for very long. You can be intensely interested when someone excites you, but you also need a partner who has their own life instead of making the relationship their entire world.

Scorpio in love

You don't really want a connection that stays emotionally shallow. You want to know someone completely and be known in return. When you trust someone, your loyalty can be intense.

  • •Give big changes a trial period, so one of you gets the new thing and the other gets time to adjust.
  • •Celebrate the adjustments you make for each other; they're real effort.
