Some Astro Gyaan.

The deeper significance of both Scorpio and Aries is thus closely linked to the psychological meaning of the third chakra and the fiery energies of awakened ego-consciousness that accompany this level. Off to one side of this chakra is Aries, its externalization of Martian energy represented by assertiveness, aggression, and drive, as well as more explosive, direct anger. It is a visible kind of energy that is projected outward in a manner that might be symbolized by a spear or sword.

On the other side of this chakra is Scorpio, representing a more internalized expression of the Mars energy. Whereas the Aries side concerns the directing of force outward into the world, the Scorpio side reflects a more compressed, concentric channeling of energies that can be envisioned as the spiraling power of a whirlpool or vortex pulling energy inward. For some esotericists, the subtle contrast between the Arian and Scorpionic expression of Martian energy is aptly symbolized by the male and female genitalia: the male genitalia thrusting outward and the female energy drawing inward. For this reason, Scorpio may be thought of as the "feminine Mars," in contrast to the more "masculine Mars" symbolized by Aries.

Of these two, Scorpio's power is at least equal to what is expressed outwardly by Aries, but with compression it may become even more forceful. One need only think of the way that pressing down on a metallic spring increases its power to understand how dynamic the forces of compression truly are. Indeed, the coiled symbol astrologers use to depict Scorpio itself calls to mind something of this compressive, spring-like process. It is this very aspect of Scorpio, as the internally compressed and directed Mars force, that makes it so powerful and, for many, so potentially problematic.

Very interesting!

You know, for all my fascination with astrology, I had never given much thought to the connection between the energies of Aries and Scorpio, and now that I seem to be unwittingly drawing Aries people to me, I'm quite interested now...I will be doing some in-depth research on this phenomenon!!

Thanks for posting 🙂

Is this why scorpio & aries get along?

Must be! 😛

I'm always at least highly entertained by them, even whilst they (occasionally) piss me off.

"I'm always at least highly entertained by them, even whilst they (occasionally) piss me off."

Me also, but there know it all is what gets me sometimes, I find that my aries friend get upset when I disagree with what he believes is right, and all I ask him to do is explain it or see it my way and he refuse to.

He has finally learned that I don't like to be in the gray area. I hope he learns more.

I have a lot of close scorpio female friends who are cool to hang out with

pos about them:

loyal to the max
honest
can be very helpful

neg about them:

sometimes way to stiff headed
tend to overanalyze wayyyyyyyyyy too much
can be a bit to intense sometimes
when angry anything can come out of their mouth (sometimes I tend to think they feel they have a right to hurt people's feelings when they are upset/angry)

Most of my close frens are scorps.
Their love for me surprises me, scares me and delights me to no end !

Resentment - the Scorpion's Poisonous Sting
At their most turbulent, both Aries and Scorpio relate to the experience of anger, but in precisely opposite ways. Take sex, for example. Whereas Aries charges outward like the ram to conquer the object of its desire, Scorpio's approach is a more feminine and inwardly directed one, seductively alluring the other toward it as if using (as one Scorpio friend of ours imaginatively put it) a "tractor beam." This recalls the old romantic saw: "He chased her and chased her - until she finally caught him!" The "he" here is the proverbial Aries, thrusting forward, while the "she" is akin to the seductive Scorpio, drawing the other toward it in its wake.

Yet, of all the emotions they deal with, it is the struggle with anger that most often characterizes Scorpios' own accounts of their recurring life challenges. One way of better understanding this problem is to consider the idea that every sign has its own addictions or "drug of choice," and that spiritual growth has much to do with controlling, transmuting, or entirely breaking with those particular patterns of behavior (addictions or compulsions) and learning to master the energies of that sign. For example, the "addiction" of heavily Geminian charts will tend to be ideas, or compulsive communication; for Taurus, material security; for Capricorn, status or over-achievement; and so on as we go through each sign and come up with an example to fit this model.

For Scorpio it can be argued that the drug of choice is resentment, the more destructive side of anger that has been repressed. Resentment feeds on itself in much the same way that heroin addicts must feed their addiction. We've all known those individuals who repeatedly put themselves in situations they can feel angry about, e.g., work or romance, because of the perverse (irrational and likely unconscious) "pleasure" they then derive from bathing in the toxic juices of resentment that they've created for their "fix." While one can argue that anger has its constructive side, resentment is much more insidious and therefore more damaging; one would be hard-pressed to describe any rationale for resentment being "good" - ever
