Scorpio (♏) (Greek: Σκορπιός, Skorpios; Latin: Scorpius) is the eighth astrological sign in the Zodiac. It spans the 210-240th degree of the zodiac, between 207.25 and 234.75 degree of celestial longitude, an area which the Sun transits on average between October 24 and November 22 each year, linked to the constellation of Scorpius. The sigil ♏ stands for the Latin name of the 8th house, with which Scorpio is associated—Mors ("Death").An individual born under the influence of Scorpio may be called a Scorpio or a Scorpian.
Strengths: loyalty, trustworthiness, passionate, charismatic, mystifying, caring and patience.
Weaknesses : stubbornness, jealous, sensitive and egotistical.
There is nothing quite like the intensity of the Scorpio. Romance can be difficult as you are prone to wander or wonder what you might be doing instead. The need for certainty about the right choice in a partner holds you back and your intense insistence on loyalty in relationships may come across as possessiveness and scare partners away. You answer to nobody but the ultimate taskmaster: yourself.
Scorpios have the ability to appear as though they are staring through people. Scorpios rarely let their emotions surface. They possess a sense of knowing when they are right and when they are wrong. Rarely will you notice a Scorpio playing bashful or shy. If you want an honest opinion about anything ask a Scorpio. Brutal honesty is a feature they cannot help but offer.Scorpios love with their complete hearts, but they have no tolerance for unfaithfulness. Questioning their own worth causes Scorpios to be very jealous and overly possessive especially in matters of the heart.
Scorpio, with the symbol of 'The Scorpion', is one of the three water signs of
the zodiac. One of the first things that you notice about Scorpios are their
eyes; they will be very intense and totally hypnotic, Their gaze seems to
penetrate the outer body and see directly into the soul. Scorpios have large
egos and can stand on their own. Once they get something in their heads they
can't rest until they finish the task. Scorpios
have a big ego. They know what they are and what they are not. It doesn't matter
what anyone thinks about them. They are resistant to both criticism as well as
compliments, because they know they are right or wrong. A Scorpio has perfect
control over his emotions and he always retains his faultless poise.
You will hardly see his emotions being reflected on his face. In fact, Scorpios deliberately practice a vacant look. The same goes for their body posture also, you will hardly see them pacing around in nervousness. What they might be hiding behind impeccable composure is their scorching inner nature. But, they always try to probe you, your nature and your motives.
Brutal
determination is a typical quality Scorpio possess. He has a strong willpower
and is not the one to accept defeat easily. He is Honest to the point of hurting
someone. If you have asked for his opinion, you will get the brutal truth,
without any honey. He never gives false compliments and does not know how to
flatter. However, if he does say something nice to you, be sure that it is truly
sincere and is coming straight from the heart.
If you ask a Scorpio for
a favor, it will be either a simple 'Yes' or 'No', not something like 'I will
try'. If he really likes you, he will go out of the way to help you. You never
have neutral feelings for a Scorpio; you will either be amongst his dedicated
admirers or nasty enemies. Don’t challenge him even if you are the most ruthless
enemy. Scorpios have this lasting charm around them and are extremely
sympathetic towards the sick or miserable. They are fearless and can stand
Hardships that this world brings; it could be pain or something similar.
They have complete confidence in themselves and know that they shall pass
through this also. A Scorpio is extremely loyal and will go to the length of
laying down his life for his loved ones.
Scorpio loves to play with danger. At the same time,
he is interested in religion and curious about all the aspects of life as well
as death. If you are close to him, you will feel extremely protected and cared
for.The Scorpio motto might be "What is hidden is more interesting than
what is obvious." You are the detectives of the zodiac.
He is also intensely possessive of what he believes to be his. If a Scorpio really wants to do something, it will never remain a dream forever. He will find one or the other way to get what he wants. He is very passionate about everything around, even his home. Their planet Pluto symbolizes everything that is beneath our consciousness. Pluto is intense and powerful, representing those things that we don't or can't understand. And it is from these hidden Plutonic spaces that magical transformations arise. However, beneath his tough exterior is a gentle heart that knows how to love and care.
This water sign is a river, they seem peaceful, but they’ll take you under in a flash. Scorpio men are powerful, beyond sexy, and damn alluring. If you hurt their sensitive nature you will have to pay for it and he will be gone forever. He will eventually forgive you, but they will never, ever, forget it.These are the guys that get even ten years later. So don’t mess with them. Scorpio men are mysterious.
They are possessing, engaging.. and they just so happen to be the most memorizing sensual men you’ll ever be with. They know how to do it all and they’re not afraid to show you too!
Apart from money, the other things that attract the Scorpio men the most are power and position. This persistent and determined lot will never settle for mediocre jobs.
The Scorpio motto is I (CREATE) DESIRE. Yes, they do. Even unattractive Scorpios are hot. I have no idea how it works, it just does. These men are very intense, so if you can’t stand it, get out.. Because it only get’s bigger. If you love a Scorpio man him gifts that are deep and dark. Take for good food and keep his wine glass full. Scorpio is ruled by Pluto which rules life cycles, death, regeneration, and rebirth. All Scorpio men lead lives in which they recreate themselves every few years be it via occupation, social image, or sexuality. They are ever growing, ever changing. Scorpio men have intense eyes little fat body. They love to possess, and be possessed. If you are in it deep with one of these Eagle spirits, enjoy it. Let him possess you in every way possible and enjoy possessing him.
And their strong sixth-sense helps them see through people, understand their motives and thus enables them to keep emotional pain,You may find yourself memorized by an out of control Scorpio, such a dangerous thing. They can be addicts, liars, and make avid manipulators. Avoid them at all costs. They are the stalkers, stabbers, psychos that scare you’re afraid of. He will curse your name and it will work. Loving a Scorpio is a life changing event. All Scorpios have magic within them.
The women born under this Sign may not be an epitome of beauty but their energy levels and persona are impossible to ignore. This woman is full of intense passion and love. Yes, she is emotional, but her emotion is over looked by her caring and protective attitude. She is the ‘package’ that every man lusts for. She has the sex appeal and the personality that most men look for in a potential mate. The Scorpio women are intensely private and only few selected ones will get to go close to her.
This woman is highly observant, peering through any flaws in a persons outlook. She is not weak nor frail, but openhearted with the intent to give love to this world. She does not share her life with the world, because she is secretive. Power, position and money attract them and you will often see these fearless and stubborn Scorpio women in striving to succeed and get what they want. Nothing can push a Scorpio woman from her ground. She has full faith in her choices and won’t change them just because someone has suggested/ asked her to. People adore her for her mystery especially men, and they like to shower her with praise for being so mystical. Bottom line the Scorpio woman is a power house, of intensiveness and passion.
The first thing you will notice about a Scorpio is his/her forceful and vigorous nature. So if you cut open a Scorpio, I mean metaphorically, you will find a very intense source of energy. It is this energy that take them forward all the time.
Scorpios are all about control, they need to be in
control at all times. To be out of control is very threatening, even dangerous
to the Scorpio's psyche, when they control, they feel safe. This high-energy
state is also of an emotional nature. People who are in this state tend to get
overly aggressive on both good emotions and bad. Negative emotions of jealousy
and resentment are hallmarks of this turbulent astrology sign. On the other
side, Scorpios are well known for their forceful and powerful drive to succeed
and their amazing dedication
Scorpios are very intuitive, but not as in a psychic sense, more as intuitive into the human mind, they have a great understanding of the mystery and the power of the human mind.Behind that drive to connect, however, is a driving sense of insecurity. Scorpio is afraid that if it disconnects from others,disconnection will be complete and irrevocable. This is the reason why Scorpio hasdeveloped such an elaborate system of maintaining engagement, complete with secrets and allusions, manipulations and occasionalrages and that Scorpion’sSting that can lash out whenever Scorpio gets its feelings hurt.
Do not ever expect them to fess up or share their tale with anyone however
because this shows signs of weakness and Scorpio always wins, they are always
the self-proclaimed best! One of the reasons they seem like they always
accomplish their goals is because they set tangible short-term goals that they
know they can accomplish, they know what they are capable of and this is what
they go for.
Scorpios are very weary about trusting anyone, a person needs to gain their trust and this gets built up over time and once all the 'trust tests' have been passed, Scorpio loves deeply and intensely. Underneath the cool exterior, energies and emotions are constantly flowing but the Scorpio deals with this be channeling this into useful activities, hobbies, relationships or a career. This is never apparent to the outside observer but knowing this fact explains why Scorpios are so passionate about whatever it is that they are undertaking. Scorpios have powerful instincts and they trust their own gut feeling which is another reason why a Scorpio seldom fails.
The ongoing lesson in life for those born under the
Scorpio zodiac signs, is to channel their powerful energy into positive goals
and not succumbing to the darker forces in life such as manipulation and greed,
they will then have great success in their life and have a clean, happy
conscience and a circle of friends they can trust and hold dear to them.
Never be fake with a Scorpio, they can see it a mile away. Be genuine with your comments and listen to them attentively, (they always have something interesting to say so this is never a problem!) Do not try to hide things from them or tease them, they always have to know what is going on. Remember, they are the only ones that are allowed to tease and present the mystery and intrigue! They like frankness and honesty, speak your mind they will respect that. Scorpios are interested in almost all activities, so finding something to do should never be a problem.
They are unpredictable and could change course of the date mid-way though so take these last minute changes with a smile and try something different. They like people who are not afraid to ditch a plan and try another. In conversation, do not tell them that their opinions are wrong or shoot them down, they are too proud for this and even if it is a joke, they might not take it with the humor that you meant. Never try to control them but do not be the damsel in distress either, they like strong, real people with driving ambitious personality like theirs.
