An Aries man and Scorpio woman seem like they would be a completely mismatched pair.
Aries is Cardinal Fire and Scorpio is Fixed Water, and these two signs seem to have little in common.
There is one connection between them, though. Under the Traditional rulership scheme, they are both ruled by Mars. So, just how compatible are this combination?
As an Aries man and Scorpio woman are both ruled by Mars, this common ruler makes them much more compatible than they ought to be.
On the other hand, it is unlikely that they will develop a romantic relationship or even a friendship.
This pair are most likely to be respected colleagues or co-workers. If they do get together, however, they can have a happy and long-lasting relationship.
These two zodiac signs are both warriors, albeit different kinds of warriors. Because of this, they have a mutual respect and understanding of each other.
Aries Man and Scorpio Woman Compatibility
Here is an overview of their strongest compatibility aspects:
- Mutual respect
- Willingness to overcome problems
- Courage to face hardships
- Complementary gifts and abilities
- Determination
- Equality with respect to strength and power
Important traits of an Aries man in relation to a Scorpio woman
The Aries warrior is the common soldier or the sergeant.
As such, an Aries man is direct and bold. He will charge forth into danger without considering the consequences, and he fights first and asks questions later.
When it comes to dating, he takes the initiative. He appreciates and respects competence and strength in women as in men.
While he always tries to dominate a potential romantic partner, he is far more attracted to a woman he cannot push around than one he can.
On the other hand, he does enjoy femininity and a woman who will yield without becoming intimidated.
Important traits of a Scorpio woman in relation to an Aries man
The Scorpio warrior is the samurai or the ninja.
A Scorpio woman is subtle and cautious. She is an amazing strategist, and she will plan far into the future.
She is just as courageous as an Aries man, but she thinks before she acts.
When dating, a Scorpio woman takes the defensive.
From the very first glimmer of attraction, she will size up a partner as to whether he would make a good long-term mate.
If she does not think that a man would make a good husband for her, she will not give him the time of day.
If she does think he would make a good husband, she will set up a series of tests and challenges for him to meet.
Aries man, Scorpio woman: Dating
As discussed above, it is very rare that an Aries man and a Scorpio woman would date.
If they met at a party or social event, she would find him rude and obnoxious and he would find her unapproachable.
A Scorpio woman, like a Leo woman, is more than a match for an Aries man in strength and power. Unlike a Leo woman, however, she will not mesmerize or enthrall him.
The only way that these two are likely to get together would be in a work situation.
Both of these signs are attracted to the same kind of work, often involving danger, so they are very likely to find themselves as colleagues.
If they overcome a difficult or dangerous situation together, they may become sexually attracted to each other in the process.
Aries man, Scorpio woman: Sexual compatibility
If an Aries man and Scorpio woman do have sex with one another, they will both enjoy it very much, at least at first.
His fiery passion will meet her depth, and their sexual encounters in the bedroom will be hot and exciting. Over time, however, there may be difficulties.
While Scorpio has a reputation as being the “sexy” sign, this is a little misleading, particularly with respect to Scorpio women.
What makes her so passionate in bed is her ability to bond deeply with a mate, mind, body, and soul.
Most Scorpio women are at least a little empathetic and that shows forth in the bedroom.
The difficulty will be that despite his fiery passion, an Aries man doesn’t have much depth or subtlety.
He is also not emotionally aware enough to penetrate her on a psychic level, which is what she truly desires.
Without that emotional and psychic connection, sex can become quite dull for a Scorpio woman.
Still, if she loves him, she will not reject him because of this. She looks at the big picture, and if she wants him as a mate, she will make it work.
Aries man, Scorpio woman: Marriage and family life
If an Aries man and a Scorpio woman enter into a marriage, it will be a good and long-lasting one.
The reason for this is that if their relationship gets this far, they will have already overcome most of the barriers to their getting together.
Furthermore, both of them are willing and able to handle any problems that come their way.
Even though they are both from Mars ruled signs, unlike an Aries man, Aries woman couple, they will not bicker constantly.
The Scorpio Mars is very different than the Aries Mars.
A Scorpio woman does have a temper. Scorpio storms are legendary. On the other hand, it takes much longer for her fuse to blow.
Usually, an Aries man will be over and done with whatever he got angry about long before she has even realized that something has upset her.
For this reason, they will rarely be angry with each other at the same time.
An Aries man and Scorpio woman may very well choose not to have children. Both of them will be focused on their job or career, and neither sign is particularly inclined towards parenthood.
Scorpio is the least maternal of the Water Signs, and Scorpio women usually have a very complicated attitude towards motherhood.
If they do have children, the will make good parents, though.
A Scorpio woman will be quite strict and demanding, but she will also be understanding of the emotions and fears of the children.
On the other hand, she will be very serious, and will probably not be a lot of fun.
This is one of the few parenting combinations in which the Aries father will be the more lenient of the two, and he will tend to compensate for her seriousness by being the “fun” dad.
Aries man, Scorpio woman: Working together
An Aries man and Scorpio woman make a very good pair when they work together.
As discussed earlier, if a romantic relationship does form between these two, it will usually do so out of bonds developed as colleagues at work.
Scorpio is the few signs that can match Aries when it comes to the capacity for sheer hard work.
While a Scorpio woman will not throw herself into her work in the hard and fast manner that an Aries man will, she has far more stamina than he does.
When a Scorpio woman starts something, she will complete it to the very end, and she will be very thorough. She also has the ability to strategize and plan, which he lacks.
Although both of these signs like to be in control, they are both pragmatic enough when it comes to their work that they will avoid power struggles.
Also, their respective strengths and weaknesses are so clear and obvious that they will naturally settle into a comfortable division of labor.
Typical fights between an Aries man and a Scorpio woman and how to resolve them
Fights between an Aries man and a Scorpio woman will be surprisingly rare, especially for two Mars ruled signs.
In addition, his direct manner will forestall many arguments.
A Scorpio woman is quite subtle, and sometimes, she can be rather suspicious.
For all of his shortcomings, an Aries man is usually very honest. Indeed, he is often honest to a fault.
While this may cause friction in relationships with other signs, it will be very helpful with a Scorpio woman.
A Scorpio woman can spot a lie a mile away. She has a keen sense of observation and will pick up on “tells” when her partner is not being honest with her.
Also, she is usually empathic, so she will sense when someone is holding something back.
With an Aries man, she can be sure that he will say what he means and that he will mean what he says. She will then adjust to whatever that is.
The only thing that could cause friction between them is the speed at which they move through life.
He is cardinal fire and moves fast and hard. She is fixed water and moves slowly and deliberately.
If a Scorpio woman is pushed to move at a faster pace than she is comfortable with, it may be the trigger for one of her storms.
His fire can cause her water to boil over. If this happens, there could be quite a battle.
Fortunately for them, though, that even though the Aries temper is hot, it burns out and subsides very quickly.
He will be surprised by her outburst and back off before it gets too far.

Conclusion
An Aries man and Scorpio woman are unlikely to form a romantic pair.
They may very well end up working together, though, because they are attracted to the same type of careers.
If these two do end up in a love relationship, however, they will do very well together.

We pushed each others buttons. The worst of our personalities were brought out and after 5 years we ended our relationship. I am still very much in love, but he says he's done and that he has tried. I feel like we both tried. We argued and bickered a lot. The loyalty part is true, but maybe it's because I'm a maladjusted Scoprio female that I couldn't trust him. We parted ways and my heart is broke because we have a home and pets together. And he just confirmed my abandonment issues by calling it quits.

We met through a common friend and from the very beginning I was surprised how he made me trust him immediately, how direct he was and how he didn't try to play with me. He almost immediately told me he liked me and asked for my number. I was very much doubting it might be true and having a feeling of a touch of destiny at the same time. He is a bit emotionally immature (we are the same age, in our 20s) and he doesn't always know how to express emotions with words but he proves his loyalty and care with actions which is for me very refreshing. We almost never quarrel and if we do, we explain everything to each other (it is usually him being jealous of me being in the centre of attention of other men - the men I don't care about at all). He makes me feel very much alive and young, it is a lot of fun and he appreciates my sense of humour too. And still, I feel very much protected by him, he radiates masculine energy.

Some of this isn't true as far as the part us looking for dangerous jobs and how we would feel when meeting at a party. Neither of us have a dangerous job nor work together and from at a party I thought he was hilarious and also really nice. I thought he was so nice I messaged him on facebook to thank him for being so nice and that's how we really got started dating each other. But the rest seems pretty right. and at this moment its been 5 months and 11 days and its been great
