What Scorpio is like
Scorpio feels everything at full strength and shows very little of it. It is loyal, brave about dark things and hard to fool. It can also be jealous, secret and slow to let go of a wound. Trust, once broken, is hard to rebuild with Scorpio.
Scorpio is a fixed water sign, ruled by Mars and Pluto. Its symbol is the scorpion.
Scorpio in love
In love Scorpio wants all of you or none of you. It is passionate and protective. It tests a partner before it opens up, and it needs honesty more than comfort.
Scorpio gets on most easily with the other water signs and with the earth signs, Taurus, Virgo and Capricorn. The opposite sign, Taurus, pulls and pushes at once. A real match depends on whole charts: the Moon, Venus and Mars matter as much as the Sun.
Scorpio at work
At work Scorpio goes deep: research, therapy, medicine, finance, investigation and crisis work. It is at its best with a mystery to solve.
