WHAT I LOVE ABOUT SCORPIOS!!

The following will apply if you have Sun, Moon, or Ascendant in Scorpio.

“Nothing in life is to be feared, it is only to be understood”.
~Marie Curie, Nobel Prize-winning chemist and physicist

(SCORPIO: OCT. 23 – NOV. 21)

Marie Curie was an archetypal Scorpio. She had incredible strength of character and courage. She believed like many Scorpios do that nothing in life is to be feared — only to be understood. They take the time to understand…

Still waters run deep… and so do Scorpios. They are fiercely passionate about everything in life, from their careers, to their loved ones, and everything else in between! They are either black or white, but never grey. Find a friend in Scorpio, and you have a friend for life!! Their loyalty is legendary, as is their sting if you betray them. So, don’t!

To understand Scorpio, let’s delve a little deeper. They are ruled by the planets Mars and Pluto. Mars, the God of War, is what makes them so competitive, ambitious, and frequently good at sports. Pluto, the God of the Underworld, is what makes them deep, penetrating, and seekers of solving secrets in science and fellow human beings. I told you they were very interesting people!!

Scorpio is a feminine, fixed, water sign. Feminine does not mean the male of the species is effeminate — far from it! I don’t think Bill Gates or Richard Burton could be accused of being ‘effeminate’; feminine just means that they are very emotional and are in touch with their feelings, just like their fellow water natives, Pisces and Cancer. Water signs are surely emotional, compassionate, and highly intuitive. Scorpio can read your mind, your face, and your heart — all in the blink of an eye! Fixed means they can be stubborn. Oh yes, stubborn goes with the Scorpio territory — as does their fierce loyalty!

So how do you handle a Scorpio? Just be yourself, be kind, and be sincere. If they like you, you will know, and very quickly at that. As mentioned, they can sum you up in a second, as their intuition is razor sharp. So just be yourself, and if being yourself doesn’t work, then just move on.

Scorpio energy works harmoniously with fellow water signs, Pisces and Cancer. The earthiness of the earth signs, Taurus, Virgo, and Capricorn, is also a great stabilizing factor for them. They need a solid partner in life who helps them to come out of themselves, and one who is emotionally stable, and equally loyal.

As a sensitive water sign, Scorpio needs to express that deep creative side. No surprise to note that the legendary artist Pablo Picasso was a Scorpio. Deep, passionate and magnetic. Sports are another way for the Scorpio to release all that pent-up energy inside. They must learn to release the feelings within them, otherwise there is a danger things could fester up. So to you my Scorpio friend, when you find life or fellow humans let you down, release it to the Universe — either through journalling, sports, or some other creative process.

Scorpios ooze sexuality. They can’t help it!! It drips from them like gold dust. Drake, Leonardo DiCaprio, Matthew McConaughey, Richard Burton… you get the picture? But they also have a really funny side too!! Julia Roberts can be a great comic, Whoopi Goldberg, Goldie Hawn, Emma Stone, and Anne Hathaway are classic examples of what I mean.

Scorpios have so much power at their disposal, which is why many are attracted to the world of politics. Hilary Clinton, President Biden, and Condoleezza Rice being a few examples.

Scorpio’s BEST qualities:

Loyalty, determination, work ethic, creativity, warmth, kindness, devotion.

Scorpios shadow side:

They can be possessive, jealous, stubborn, and unforgiving if you betray them.
