Aquarius Sun, Scorpio Moon

You’ll tell anyone that other people’s opinions don’t matter to you. That’s true of strangers. The six people you actually love are another story.

Principles with a pulse

You believe that being yourself matters more than almost anything, and customs don’t impress you much. Scorpio brings tenacity and the ability to focus in a way others can only envy. Aquarius points all that intensity at making things better. People notice you, including people in charge, and you tend to do well because you simply don’t stop. Your dedication to principles can be remarkable.

Aquarius and Scorpio square off, and neither is a sign that bends, so there’s real pressure inside. Aquarius wants to be free of feeling. Scorpio feels everything to the bottom. It may take you years to learn that you don’t have to choose, and that relaxing every so often doesn’t undermine your principles.

All your loyalty, little of your schedule

Your loyalty to friends and family can be close to undying. You’ll stand by someone through disgrace. A partner gets someone who’s truly committed and thinks deeply about them, but who might also be busy with a cause, be hard to reach, and have strong private feelings they don’t explain.

You may hold on to a hurt long after your Aquarius side claims to have moved on. Your partners might feel they’re dealing with two people: one cool and reasonable, the other watching them closely. Each of you could end up thinking the other holds the power.

Letting go of a thing or two

Choose your battles, since you could fight all of them. Take real time off, the kind with no campaign in it. Tell your partner when you’re wounded, without first making it an issue of principle. And it’s worth checking any old suspicions now and then. You see a lot, and you can also see things that aren’t there. Asking directly is usually quicker than a private investigation.
