Man and Women Traits: The Nature of Scorpio

Scorpio is a water sign, co-ruled by Mars and Planet Pluto and is at home in the 8th house. Known for its powerful will and deep feelings, natives of this sign are capable of frightening more innocent zodiacal signs. Scorpios are the sophisticates of the zodiac, they've been around the block more than once and may make you feel that they were born knowing more about the underside of life than you do. They do.

The Scorpio traits of women and men is to have to know more because they're going to feel more. This isn't necessarily a matter of empathy, though that can enter into it. This is more of the nature of sensing emotions like knife cuts, sharp and penetrating. They have to know and understand more about life since it is just too painful to be ignorant.

Astrology neophytes will look at the sign of Scorpio, nudge you in the ribs and chuckle knowingly, perhaps with a little eyebrow action. Yes, Scorpio is known for its passionate nature. What is less fully known or understood, is the enormous effort that Scorpio must put in to achieve fulfillment or satisfaction. Anyone who has had an intimate relationship with a Scorpio is aware of the intense concentration required for them to achieve a sense of release. This is associated with their grasping, possessive qualities, and issues with letting go. In order to fully relax, one must be able to let go. This can't happen if one is holding onto their emotional control so very tightly.

Scorpio holds itself very tightly as well. Our world is not really set up to easily experience the intensity of Scorpionic passions. We are embarrassed by the passions of raw emotion, seething and swirling with illogic. In a more enlightened world, Scorpios would probably be able to express themselves with a great deal more ease. Additionally, Scorpio feels that it cannot safely trust the environment, since to do so would make it even more vulnerable.

Very often the Scorpio women traits finds themselves often alone and lonely. This is due to the fact that it often needs to test those who would get close. The closer you want to be to a Scorpio, the more tests you will have to pass. It is very unlikely that you'll be informed what the tests are or what the correct answers may be. When allowed in to the Scorpio sacred space however, you'll find a richness of personality, a depth of perception and a warmth of compassion which is unmatched elsewhere in the zodiac.

Scorpios are very in touch with the passions and beautiful things in life. I found this page was true regarding that, but there is so much more to say for the traits of Scorpio. Being a Scorpio, I appreciated reading this, though.

I enjoyed this article very much. The part about it taking a lot to achieve a sense of release is so true! This is the first article I've read that states that!

That last paragraph really hit a nerve... "Very often the Scorpio women traits finds themselves often alone and lonely..." Wow, that about sums up my entire personality right there. How did they know that?

Midnight, I agree with you. I find myself alone and lonely sometimes, and I completely test those who want to get close. But I would rather be alone than with someone for the wrong reason or because society says we should.

Scorpions are bold by heart, and I would say they are decision. They never wait or depend on others to take action. They can simply change or redefine any rule of this world. Don't deceive them or one day they could grab you without warning.

I totally agree. I don't let people get close to me easily and as Michelle said, I would rather have no friends then have meaningless and shallow friendships. I don't trust people in general and follow my instincts at all times. I also don't believe in doing things or appearing to be a certain way for other people's approval. I can't be anyone else but me.

Hi Sira, I think that the qualities you mentioned are great to have and should be regarded as an asset.

Sira, I agree with you and Deb. I feel the same as you. I have few friends, but they are great ones, and fantastic people. I can look back and see that it is true, they did kind of work hard to be my friend, until I could 'let them in', and I'm glad they hung in there with me. I think I don't make friends easily because I am not willing to do or appear a certain way just to fit in, I hate that. I am me. That means I spend a good deal of time alone, but that is OK, I'm comfortable with who I am. And what Sira said, these are good qualities, and should be considered an asset. But I don't think they necessarily are seen by others as 'assets'. To others we may appear aloof or unfriendly, and therefore not respected. But that may not be the case at all. We are just taking it all in, at least that is how it is for me. I have had more than a few friends tell me that when they first met me they thought I was snobby or unfriendly, and it couldn't be further from the truth. They got to know me and found out that is so not true. Thank goodness for good friends who look beyond the surface.

Hi Sira, couldn't have stated these facts better. The Scorpio woman will not tolerate nor pretend, very perceptive and also has very few but true and loyal friends. Once a Scorpio women senses someone stepping on her toes, she immediately discards that person and has no regrets thereafter. Feeling lonely and alone, it happens to me almost all the time. Thank you Sira for hitting the nail on the head.

I know this is an old topic but I have seen exactly what I am looking for. I always felt my wife wanted me to kiss her backside in order to be close to her. I am a Turin and we are in fact in almost all ways opposite, but my patience and our determination for our kids future has helped keep us together. I would like to know simply how can I attract her attention more and help her to relax and let go?

You have said a lot about scorpions personalities but what about sexual emotions? I think they are emotional so much that their sexuality depends on emotions they only attach to those who first emotionally satisfy them and want the same passion they have in their partner and are very fond of secrecy.

I completely go with how a Scorpio woman is described. We believe in the phrase "better alone than bad company" or "a wise enemy is better than a foolish friend". As far as I know, staying alone has helped me be more introspective and helped me move toward perfection at least up to an extent. End of the day, what matters is how I make a person feel when he is close to me. The brighter side of a Scorpio is that he or she knows what they want from life and are very determined and are not afraid of failures or criticisms, the darker side being they are short tempered and hyper sensitive sometimes.

I agree with Michelle. I'd rather be alone than have someone who can never relate to how I feel be around me. It can be very frustrating when you feel like someone is trying to hurt you, but its better to know than be clueless and have them ending up stabbing you in the back. Reading everybody's comments made me feel much better, knowing that you aren't the only one in the world who feels like this.

I think this is so true especially the last paragraph I to find myself alone and lonely. Just like the other comments stated I would rather be alone then be with someone or around someone who couldn't relate to me an just do what I want to do to be happy.

I would like to know more about Scorpio women. I'm fascinated by Scorpio women, and I find few places give detailed information. I want to know anything and everything about female traits and actions and so on. Any help will be appreciated.

I detest Scorpio women. They are suspicious, mean, game playing, dishonest, manipulative, self serving, self important, I could go on, rotten people who continually keep the people in their lives in an emotional uproar. That is a way they keep control, or feel they are in control. They expect absolute honesty and devotion from the people around them and use it against them all the while being dishonest themselves. They are smart in a very bad way. They only remain charming enough to suck you in and then systemically start destroying you or trying too anyway. Not to say that they may not have some good qualities. But the good with them never out weighs the bad. Maybe the men in Scorpio got an extra dose of the good stuff which left the women short of decent qualities. So with the new theme of removing toxic people from my life I must tell you that I will take it a step further. I will not invite toxic people in my life either. Sorry if I disappoint you. But I really do know what I am talking about here.

Sylvia, sounds like you've had a horrible experience with an unhealthy Scorpio. I sympathize with you; however, the healthy Scorpio is a fantastic friend and companion that will defend you to no end. The women got some of the 'good' too. The sad truth in this article or any other Scorpio factoid is the depth of emotion. In my experience, everything we experience is at a different level be it good or bad. Happy isn't just happy, it's elation. Sad isn't just sad, it's overwhelming. Broken trust isn't just broken trust it's a personal assault and an internal battle. How can I possibly ever open up again, the pain is unreal and crippling. On the surface we may be seem calm and cool, I totally get the first impression of being stuck up, all a matter of protection and distanced observation. A healthy Scorpio is a giver not a user and will help you see the hidden nuances and beauty in the world around you. All that to say, I would hate for you to limit yourself based on a toxic encounter. I agree, rid yourself of toxic people based on their individual merit, or lack thereof in this instance, not based on a stereotype. Praying for your healing.

I am a Scorpio and many traits they state are right about me but some aren't. For example, the possessive trait every site says I supposedly have. I feel like the opposite. I'm never jealous and I want the people around me to be free. I'm always nice to people and in the past, this has led close friends of mine to doubt me. They thought I was trying to manipulate or something. On the contrary, I never have a plan and I always want the best for people. They also say Scorpios aren't very social and again I am the contrary. The traits that do resemble me are that even though I have lots of friends and even about with the close ones I often ask myself if these people really care about me and I feel alone. And I don't want to control, but I don't want to be a follower either. I completely agree with Michelle about the fact that I prefer being with someone for the right reasons then just because. I am intrigued by my sign. I agree with Phenix.

I also tolerate things way too much sometimes. My sister is a Leo and she's more the "letting people in, a few real friends type." I'm confused.

I am hyper sensitive but I do not want perfection because I know it doesn't exist. I just try to do my best. I am not introspective in any way and I'm not revengeful at all. I am either completely like Scorpio is described or the complete opposite. I am lost.

Well in my case I'm a cancer person. I have lots of friends who are Scorpios my best friend is a Scorpio. I am surrounded by them. I would say my best friend is very stubborn, rebellious, and not easy to be with. It takes a lot of patience and time to trust but from time to time she has trusted me enough to tell me how she feels and what she thinks. I love her for that. She is loving and caring to me most of the time. This is just a piece of advice, Scorpios are very good friends but don't deceive them because revenge is in their nature.

I have been searching the web all this week on the characteristics of my dearly beloved sign. I am a proud Scorpio and I would not be anything else. For years, I read my horoscope, but did not understand my sign, until now. Now I not only know why I act the way I do, but why my friends and loved ones act the way they do. My best friend is also a Scorpio and I know when she does not want to be bothered and when she is out of her "funk." I think I have pretty eyes, and wondered why people commented on them often. I am now learning how to use those eyes. I agree with a lot of what the article stated, but many traits, are not accurate for me. I am not revengeful on purpose, it just seems to work out that way. But I do have a set number of friends and I keep them close. I do not trust easily and I have heard, when some of my friends first met me, they thought I was mean. I love very hard. In fact, I have been in love with my ex boyfriend for twenty years. But when you cross me, or hurt me to my limit, I am as cold as ice. I would say that I am obsessive to a point. When I get on a subject, I like to research it, hence the research on my sign. I am very intuitive, to a scary point, but I also like it, because it helps me to be cautious. I am passionate and compassionate. I do not like fake people and if you treat me bad, I will forgive, but it is never the same after that, so forgetting is out the window. I will cross a sea and climb a mountain to do for those I care about. But I can also think about myself sometimes, especially when I feel as though I am about to be on "empty." I talk out my feelings, and I love to laugh and make others laugh. I also can have a temper. I will not go off immediately, but if you keep picking at me, I will "sting" so I make sure that I am prepared for the consequences before I do. I think this is about the size of it. Any body else feel me?

Hi there I'm back again so what my new comment about a scorpion. A part of is very sad now because my best friend is s Scorpio and is now in a rocky relationship. I think it is a psychological problem with her partner who is a cancer. Every now and then I check out what is new about her, and it frustrates me most of the time because she needs to get out of her relationship. She is blinded by love so she still hangs on. I don't know maybe the Scorpio needs to let go sometimes because if the relationship does not work they need to please try and let go because it is a waste of time for both of them.
