Sun in Scorpio, Moon in Aries

Your will is exceptionally strong and your energy is powerful. You can transform yourself with ease, and you help others change as well. You always need to get to the bottom of things, even when it is painful or uncomfortable. You can be sharp, impulsive, perceptive and pointed in what you say. You have the instincts of a natural psychologist and a fine sense of people, and you know how to influence others to reach your goals. Power over others is an important theme in your life. You tend to want full control over the people around you, and at times they may feel an unexplained heaviness or unease, so loosening your grip a little can make your bonds lighter. You are deeply independent and you love your freedom.

Trying to force you into anything is pointless, and it can stir up a storm. Your first answer to pressure is fast and fiery, and afterward the hurt can stay with you for a long time, because you do not easily forget a wrong. Letting old grievances go is part of your path. You are a deeply passionate person, and you could say you live by your passions. Without them, life does not feel like life to you, and love does not feel like love.

If you find yourself in a calm, quiet setting where every relationship is settled, you may feel an urge to shake everything up. Other people's opinions on any subject matter very little to you, and you make your decisions entirely on your own. You decide in private, relying on your strong intuition. You carry your decisions out boldly, daringly and with force, often bluntly. You see no reason to shy away from conflict, you are ready to fight for what you believe in, and sentimentality and easy indulgence are not your way. You often put yourself through intense self-analysis and harsh self-criticism, and treating yourself with the same understanding you would give a friend can be a relief.

You like to rest where you can feel strong emotions and thrills, and extreme experiences of every kind appeal to you. You relax when you are active and free to act on your own terms. At home you are drawn to hard physical effort, so you like to exercise there or move the furniture around. When it comes to improving everyday life, you are an innovator and a pioneer in everything. Food and sleep feel too dull for someone as active as you, and you often eat on the run, in the short breaks between busy stretches. It is worth slowing down for a proper meal now and then. When you care for loved ones, you are devoted and persistent, and you follow your own idea of what caring means, sometimes without noticing how others receive it.

Your conscious aims and your inner needs work in harmony, both directed toward actively transforming the world around you. Your emotions can run very high and your temper can flare, and at times you may lack flexibility, lightness and ease.

In a man's chart, this combination gives the gifts of a psychologist, an interest in questions of life and death and a pull toward crisis situations, and it often draws him to a partner who is very active, independent and spontaneous. In a woman's chart, it brings ardor, speed, dynamism and a strong need for independence, and she is often drawn to a partner with a very strong will, a private nature and deep passion.

The classic view

You are mentally quick, shrewd, and highly protective, with an accurate, critical mind capable of hard work and long scientific analysis.
