Mars in Scorpio is a smoldering sexpot who can easily spend all his time engaged in the carnal arts. Seeking challenge and intensity in relationships, Mars placed in the sign of the Scorpion only stings when he’s been stepped on.

With a deep desire to merge, Mars in Scorpio seeks a partner whose appetite for intimacy matches his own. His demanding nature means he isn’t always easy, but he’s guaranteed to be interesting.
Venus in Aquarius will find Mars in Scorpio slightly disturbing, as he gets under her skin in a way no other sign/planet combo can. Whether she enjoys this disturbance over the long haul is the question. Mars in Scorpio is intrigued by Venus in Aquarius’s distance, but wonders if he’ll ever get as close to her as he would like. The tension between this couple is sure to keep the passion between them alive, and if each can live with their differences, they may have a union that lasts over the long term.
