Characteristics of a Scorpio

Scorpio – The Scorpion
October 24 to November 22

The most powerful personality in the zodiac is probably Scorpio. While they seem very calm and in control on the exterior, inside they are full of powerful and emotional energy. Only those with a keen eye will notice their volcanic personality that burns within.

Scorpios may seem withdrawn and antisocial. Self discipline is a must for the Scorpio. With the intense nature of their personalities, Scorpios can do as must for evil as they can good, depending on which route they choose to take in life. Don’t ask a Scorpio for their opinion unless you really want to hear the truth. Their blunt directness can sometimes be hurtful, especially for those sensitive types.

Scorpios tend to socialize within a small circle of friends. Advice from others is rarely sought because they had rather find the answers to questions themselves. Shy people (and those not so shy) will usually look away from the dark penetrating eyes of the Scorpio glare.

They tend to assume leadership roles in the workplace, regardless of the position they hold. With their critical, analytic, detached personalities, they possess the cold self control it takes for professions such as being a surgeon. Other occupations that may be suitable for the Scorpio include jobs that involve analysis, research, investigation, mystery solving, detective work, and most any profession that involves a lot of critical thinking.

Scorpios are very jealous by nature. They are great to have as friends, yet don’t cross them as they will lose faith in you rather quickly. Scorpios are just intense sexually as they are in character. Said to be great lovers, some tend to take their sexuality to the level of sado-masochism. Marriage to a Scorpio is not just the joining of two people, it’s a union of the two souls.

As a romantic partner, Scorpio is a very deeply passionate person. You will always have a sense of mystery while dating a Scorpio. The reason for the mystery? It’s because a Scorpio will only tell you the things that they want you to know about them. This complex personality will never let you know everything about them.
