Scorpio Man and Libra Woman Relationship Dynamics

Mars and Venus create intense passion. There is a strong physical pull. However, psychologically, they are different. Venus (Libra) wants peace, pleasantries, and social grace. Mars (Scorpio) wants raw truth, intensity, and confrontation if necessary. He thinks she is fake or superficial; she thinks he is rude and scary. The chemistry is there, but the understanding is often missing.

Water and Air do not mix well. The Libra woman uses logic and conversation (Air) to handle life. The Scorpio man uses instinct and emotion (Water). When they argue, she wants to talk it out rationally, which he feels invalidates his deep feelings. He wants to merge souls; she wants to hold hands. His intensity can drown her airy nature, making her feel weighed down.

The Scorpio man is Fixed and stubborn. The Libra woman is Movable and indecisive. He wants to lock the door and stay in; she wants to open the window and go out. She tries to adjust to him (Libra's nature), but his controlling nature eventually feels like a prison. He gets frustrated by her inability to pick a side or commit deeply to his dark world.

This is a relationship of drain. Scorpio is the 2nd from Libra (wealth/possessiveness), but Libra is the 12th from Scorpio (loss). He may feel that satisfying her social needs drains his energy. She represents the 12th house of loss to him—perhaps a loss of his privacy or peace. She may feel he treats her like an object (2nd house). It requires a lot of energy to maintain equilibrium.
