Typical unemotional, Aries finds it difficult to give a Scorpio pet the attention he needs and deserves.

Scorpio constantly wants to know that he is loved, needed and appreciated. An Aries owner will also find it hard to provide this reassurance.

Aries tend to be independent and will probably become frustrated by a possessive Scorpio pet.

Despite the obvious problems, if Aries has enough determination even this relationship has the potential to be very successful.

General Advice:

These sneaky pets are prone to hide your possessions when annoyed at you. Emotional and highly-strung, they will leave no clue as to what you have done to upset them.

Scorpio pets love to run around freely and play in the open air. If you cannot provide them with the space and opportunity to do this, perhaps you should consider a pet born at a different time of year.

Although usually playful and fun loving, Scorpio can at times be extremely emotional and intense. Be prepared to expect this duality of personality.

Extremely sensitive to your thoughts and feelings, you may at times feel that your Scorpio pet displays an almost psychic ability to know exactly when you would like his company.

Scorpio pets are sympathetic, loyal and protective. Although docile in the company of your friends, they become ferocious around anyone who threatens you.

Don't even try to make a Scorpio pet do something he doesn't want to – you won't win!
