Scorpio and Aries
This is a potentially explosive partnership, especially if you ignore certain things about Aries. The fact is, this sign needs to be first in everything they do. Such an egotistical attitude can rub you the wrong way. However, it’s important to remember that by letting Aries assume center stage, you’ll be able to work behind the scenes. This can be of significant benefit for a secretive person like you, Scorpio. Neither one of you shies from conflict, making for some loud arguments. However, you can feel secure in knowing that you’ll always prevail in every argument. That’s because you’re a much better strategist than impulsive Aries. Instead of wasting your energy on arguments, why not channel it into tripling your productivity?
Scorpio and Taurus
Working with Taurus can give you both pleasure and pain. The pleasurable part comes from collaborating with someone who is reliable, calm, and thoughtful. The painful part involves dealing with a person who is stubborn, cautious, and tight with a dollar. If you’re going to reconcile your differences -- and there are many -- you’ll have to be the one to extend an olive branch. The hard-headed Bull is simply too stubborn to do so. You’re crafty enough to know that you will benefit much more from a friendly partnership than an adversarial one. Keep in mind that reverse psychology nearly always works with this sign. If you claim a purchase that you really want to make is too expensive, Taurus might buy it just to prove you wrong. Want to go into business together? You’d run a very successful wine shop together.

Scorpio and Cancer

Similarly, you’ll have no trouble coping with this sign’s legendary crabbiness, bringing a reluctant smile to Cancer’s face with a nasty joke or sarcastic comment.

If you’re working for an employer, let the Crab assume executive responsibilities, while you operate behind the scenes.
Scorpio and Leo

Conversely, the Virgin appreciates your serious attitude toward work, taking comfort in the knowledge that you can be trusted with even the heaviest responsibilities. Your moods may get on Virgo’s nerves at times, while this sign’s nitpicking can drive you crazy. Still, these annoyances will seem relatively minor.

You could succeed in may areas, including computer programming, market research, or physiotherapy.
Scorpio and Libra
Libra relies on their charisma to get through life, but you’re not fooled by their winning smiles and cunning winks. What matters to you is the quality of a person’s work. Fortunately, Libra is gifted in many areas, with art, diplomacy, and analysis among them. If you leave your self-imposed shell to work alongside Libra, your colleague will meet your impeccable standards. Resist the urge to nag this sign into doing as you wish -- Libra has a knack for avoiding troublesome or tiring jobs.

Scorpio and Sagittarius
Don’t let Sagittarius’ goofy ways distract you from recognizing this sign’s value as a worker.

If you go into business with this sign, consider selling sports equipment, adventure travel packages, or imported merchandise.
Scorpio and Capricorn
Ambitious Capricorn only fuels your fire for hard work. The two of you have the makings of a very powerful work partnership, particularly if you yield to the Goat’s sound financial advice.

Scorpio and Aquarius
