Do you think this is what you two are experiencing? If you want to include any astro data, like your Moon placements. Usually the Knowflakes here want to know Date, Time, and Place born so they can give you the most accurate feedback. Feel free to go at your own pace.

1. Oh god are they stubborn. A fixed water (therefore stubborn and emotional) sign - they simply don't listen to reason unless they are in the mood. And good luck finding them in the mood.

2. Oh god are they control freaks. Again, fixed water sign...

3. Oh god do they have egos. And even if it's not a big ego, it's a very, very sensitive one. And paranoid too, as most control freaks with hypersenstive egos are. They are just as likely as Cancers to turn on you for an imagined injury they think you did to them, and four times as likely to mortally wound you for it.

4. The Scorpio keyphrase is "I desire" and Scorpio rules the genitals. Hence why Scorpios tend to do what feels good, and desperately avoid everything else.

5. Scorpios have just as hard a time dealing with reality as Pisces. They want life to be magical and charmed, and can become very bitter, cynical and nasty when disillusioned. When life doesn't go according to their dreams, their fixed water nature goes into overdrive and temper tantrums, Oscar-worthy crying scenes, door slamming, road rage, and assinations ensue. Unlike Pisces however, Scorpio is a social sign and thus tends to not to wallow in their pain alone, but prefers to go out and find a victim to share it with.

6. Scorpios are also highly suspectible to drug abuse, especially drugs that effect the seratonin and dopamine levels of the brain, like heroin, cocaine and ecstasy (see 4 and 5 above). Drug-addled Scorpios tend to be stupider than the average drug-addled person for some reason, have a very hard time kicking addictions, and will make every inane excuse and say every outlandish lie to avoid getting help (see 4 above). A drug addicted Scorpio should be avoided at all cost, as they're far better than most at dragging other people down with them (see 2 and the last sentence of 5 above).

7. Scorpio rules the 8th house, the house of sex, death, wealth and a couple other things not nearly as interesting. Many people find Scorpios to be charismatic, sexy, mysterious and dangerous; I usually just find them creepy. As a result, I've observed Scorpios prefer the company of those under their "spell" and avoid people (like me) whom they can't bewitch. This seems to ties into 2 and 3 above. I've also observed along this vein that Scorpios tend to decide (subtly and otherwise) for their friends who they can be friends with, and it's usually more people the Scorpio can bewitch. Crossreference 2 above.

8. Many people think Scorpios are into kinky sex. This isn't always true. Usually they are just into ultra intense, blindingly passsionate, violent, bloodletting, on-the-brink-of-death, sadistic kind of sex. And a lot of it. Everywhere.

9. Scorpios are ridiculously sentimental, to the point it makes my Pisces moon embarassed for them. Everything in the past gets reinvented in their mind, all the unpleasant stuff edited out (especially any indicators of personal culpability) and then endowed with an enchantingly mysterious, magical, nostalgic quality that makes others who were there question the Scorpio's memory skills. Scorpios are particularly sentimental about past lovers, usually keeping them chained in their basement dungeons for whenever they wish to "reminiscence." (That you are not locked up in this Scorpio's basement is a good thing. Consider yourself lucky.)

I don't know if you find any of this useful or insightful, but I had fun.

I have two very good Scorp male friends. They are both charming, sexy, love to be the centre of attention, will keep confidence if you want to share some deep and meaningfuls with them, and both are extremely magnetic - that might be the pull you feel.

I don't know that I would say they were into minds games as such, but, they do like to get into your mind. Now as much about you as possible. Evolved Scorps won't use this to your detriment.

Being a Scorp myself, I have a lot of Aries friends and I think the two signs mix quite well, though they're not generally noted for that.

Strangely enough, I think you would get along better with his new gal, than he would. Two fire signs and all.

Good luck,

Scorpios are not all that bad... They have a lot of redeeming qualities like:
1. They are very passionate - this trait could attract or repel, depending on whether you can handle their passions or not.
2. They are very level headed - this is a very usefull trait in terms of crisis. Trust a Scropio to keep their cool in extreme crisis.
3. They are planners - everything have to be just as they planned. This can be very useful when you want them to do something for you, you can generally trust them to do it right.
4. Loyal - Scorpios are extremely loyal. You can trust them to fight for you even if you are in the wrong. When they give you their friendship, they are your friends for life - unless you do something really bad to them, then they will just never forgive you - some of them will retaliate.
5. Very sexy - there is this mysterious sexiness in a scorpio that many find very intriguing. Basically if a Scorpio sets his eyes on you, you are almost always hooked.
6. Very picky - Because a Scorpio is very picky about their friends and associates, you know that if they think of you as their friend, you are Special with a capital S. They have to think very highly of you to allow you into their circle. Respect is one of Scorpio's key trait. They have to respect you to let you near them.

... and so many many more.

FYI... I'm also an Aries but I have a Scorpio Ascendant, which makes me half and half. I guess the one big difference is that although I do not easily forget a slight, I don't actively pursuit retaliation. Should one come my way accidentally, so be it. I couldn't really care less if I get even or not.
