Hi
Lipstick Mystic,
Without telling you too many details to influence your gut reaction...could
I ask: what IS your gut reaction to a Libra-Scorpio couple? I've always
been afraid of Scorpios, but I met one and we seem to be CRAZY about
each other, and not just sexually speaking.
I'm not asking for a freebie chart reading here, but do you think there's
any hope for this combo? I've never really dated a Scorpio before - most
of them seem to be psychos. (PS: According to my chart, my Venus is in
Scorpio, so...does that explain why I'd have such a good sexual matchup
with a Scorpio?)
Just curious about your thoughts on this.

Dear
Hopeful,
By all means, don't dismiss the possibilities of a relationship with
a Scorpio. I always advise people to ignore that cliched sun sign compatibility
stuff, anyway, because it only shows one side of the equation. So many
other things come into play, like your moon signs, rising signs, Mercury
signs, etc. and how those parts of your personalities fit together. We're
all astrological "mutts," composed of many different elements, so it's
important to steer clear of generalities when you're trying to get to
the bottom of compatibility issues.
As a Libra, you're good at finding common ground with all of the other
signs, so it shouldn't be hard for you to get into a nice groove with
your Scorpio honey. Neither one of your personalities will engulf the
other, although you're different in many ways and can each be very passionate
about your opinions. Just don't expect to be in complete agreement on
social, political, and educational matters, because you are likely to
have opposite views. Agreeing to disagree could be the key to a happy
relationship. But since you both enjoy a good debate, you'll sure be
having a lot of fun along the way!
Also,
with your Venus in Scorpio, you should have a nice chemistry
in the day-to-day flow of things. You'll probably share many
of the same tastes in music, art, and other down time activities
and interests. And the lust quotient will be strong here, on
the level of a nice, intense, steam.
I have to say that I have found Scorpios to sharply divide themselves
into two distinct categories....the Son of Lucifer/Child of Darkness
type and the Cheery Philosopher/Part-Time Mystic type. Sons of Lucifer,
obviously, walk on the dark side. There are usually some obsessive behaviors
that they'd rather hide from their partner, such as, say, a tendency
to carve upside down pentagrams into their palms or a burning desire
to obliterate themselves through glue sniffing or other questionable
lifestyle choices. In short, steer clear of these! You'll spot them quickly
enough. If you detect a shifty, evasive, and darkly moody aspect to your
Scorpio's personality, there's a high probability that this is a Son
(or Daughter) of Lucifer.
Cheery Philosopher/Part-Time Mystic Scorpios are the "lighter" Scorpios.
These people are clever, fun, and warmly emotional. They make good psychologists,
artists, and actors, because they embrace the mysteries of the human
condition and are skilled at understanding behavior. Lighter Scorpios
are more open to spirituality in all of its forms, but unlike granola-chomping
lacto-vegetarian Aquarians (You know I lova ya, Water Bearers!), they
maintain a light touch on their spiritual journey. They aren't vigilantes,
fundamentalists, or extremists, generally speaking. They won't demand
that you stop eating meat or sign up for workshops with Swami GiveMeYourMoni.
A Son of Lucifer might invite you to join him in a blood-letting ritual
at his favorite coven. (Note to my witchy friends: I am not implying
that all coven members are Satanic blood-letting types. Most of you are
sweet, Earth mothery, nature-lovin', wise womyn. But you know the Dark
Ones of whom I speak, those fools who choose to play with forces they
don't understand and which, eventually, are doomed to consume them.)
A Cheery Philosopher will treat you to a showing of a quirky art house
movie and want to deconstruct the characters afterwards over curry or
sushi, some kind of tasty ethnic food.
A relationship with a Son of Lucifer makes you feel like you escaped
a train wreck (once you're out of it.) Therapists make a lot of money
off of refugees from a Son of Lucifer union. (Hmm. Maybe the Lipstick
Mystic should get in on that. She could use a new pair of Manolo Blahniks.)
A relationship with a Cheery Philosopher will teach you intriguing and
amazing things about yourself and about life in general.
I'm guessing your new pal is a Cheery Philosopher. This type of Scorpio
can do well with a bright and talkative Libra. Both of you are great
communicators with a lovely sense of fun.
I'd say go for it, and report back and tell me what happens. (I am so
nosy. But then, I AM a Virgo. So there you go.)
Best wishes for a lovely romance!
