Method 10

Method 10 of 11:
Scorpios aren’t as compatible with Leo and Aquarius signs.

1
Leos can be too outgoing for most Scorpios. Since Scorpios tend to keep to themselves, they can be uncomfortable with extroverted personalities. Scorpios also don't mesh well with the Aquarius sign because Aquarius is primarily intellectual and Scorpio is all about emotions. Scorpio might think that Aquarius is emotionally distant.^{[10]
