Scorpio Traits and Characteristics Point to a Fiery Heart

By Robin Ohara

If you were born between October 24th and November 22nd, your sun sign is Scorpio. Zodiac symbol being, of course, the Scorpion, and you are one of the most powerful and intense signs of the astrological chart. (But you knew that, didn't you?)

Scorpio traits and characteristics include piercing eyes, sexual magnetism, being secretive, forceful, and exciting. You probably take good care of your body, or at least talk about doing so. Famous Scorpios include Vivian Leigh (Gone with the Wind makes sense, all of a sudden, doesn't it?), Rodney Dangerfield and Hillary Rodham Clinton. Their love compatibility signs are Taurus, Cancer, Virgo, and Capricorn, the most compatible being Capricorn and their least-Aries, which would make sense because they would argue constantly. (Fire and water make steam!) They are the most magnificent of the constellations; the center star is called Antares and looks like the Scorpion's fiery heart when seen during the summer months in the Southern Hemisphere.

I told you all of that to tell you this, every guy I have ever fallen for at first sight has been a Scorpio, and every one of them refused to acknowledge my existence. Many a note was passed in study hall, the epitome of the school yard crush. You know the note, the one that says ''Do you like me?" with the three boxes-yes, no, or maybe, a veritable Ouija board of choices. And if you've ever loved a Scorpio you know that they will always check "maybe." It's part of their being secretive and they love to keep you guessing. Like their insect counterpart, the Scorpio will dance backward egging you on, promising passion, asking to borrow your car only to turn and sting you when they get bored. These are not just traits of the male Scorpio, either. Female Scorps will ask to borrow your best dress, and then exit the party with someone,( Probably an Aries) leaving you to find your own ride home. (Usually with a Virgo)

I am not bitter; I have just learned my lesson the hard way. Scorpio's are also great leaders. They make wonderful attorneys. They are well spoken and charming. If I were to get into a verbal argument I would want a Scorpio on my side. (For physical altercations you'll want a Leo.) If I ever need a stockbroker, I will ask them when their birthday is. Bill Gates is a Scorpio.

By the way, another characteristic typical of the Scorpio zodiac symbol is obsessive-compulsive disorder, and you're probably a gambling addict, so there.

Okay, then. I'm like a scorpio...and a girl. Pretty much all true, me thinks. Just thought I'd say that.

By Annette 2006-11-11 12:30:12

Mostly right, except for the part about being secretive. Sometimes others simply won't comprehend our words at the level we would like them too, so we just don't say anything.

By Ashley 2006-11-19 09:54:54

I am also a Scorpio and my boyfriend and i have just broken up. He is Aquarius and i just want to know the compatibility with the two. If the two signs are compatible, what is the best way to i guess bond with each other without killing each other...

By Admin 2006-11-19 10:07:34

Hi, Ashley. As you probably know, there's a lot more to compatibility between two people than simply the position of their Sun Signs relative to each other. Many other factors come into play, especially the position of the Rising Sign, Sun, Venus, Mars, Mercury...plus the other planets, sings, houses, aspects, etc. That said, ask yourself how your watery-emotional (Scorpio) can connect with his airy-mental (Aquarius). Odds are, you enjoy deep conversations and connection at the emotional level. You want to transform yourself and others. Odds are, he enjoys talking about ideas, inventions, innovation, technology. He wants to create and build. These are only partial generalizations, of course, and there are always exceptions. See if you can find common ground about what's most important to each of you.

Scorpio here, I'm not very secretive I grew out of it. I was so silent about my personal life as a child, now I'm loud to friends. But hey, maybe I wasn't meant to be a Scorpio. (I'd love to be a man, for sure, though.)

By F. 2007-04-21 10:27:29

I'm a Scorpio and I do not have sexual magnetism. If I did, I think I would be going out with someone, but other than that its mostly true apart from the party thing. I never borrow someone's dress. I mean, it has their skin cells on it. I mean I would have someone's skin on me.

By Mark 2007-04-25 13:55:42

I'm a Scorpio. It's pretty much all true. The secretive part. No one else would say I'm secretive. I know I am. And I know exactly what to say to get what reaction I want. I'm not really out to hurt anybody. But I know what people want and what they respond to. No one knows me, though they claim to. I'm an avid writer, which agrees with my word smith and secrecy. And yes, I always check. You never know who you'll end up falling for in the end. But I wouldn't screw you out of anything at a party. I'm a nice guy.

By Megan 2007-06-07 15:47:24

Funny..."Scorpio" talking - I dated a Cancer and he was a jerk! I am with an Aries now and we are very happy together...which goes to show, I don't really regard those things with much belief.

By Aula 2007-07-20 18:21:40

Scorpio here. Well, I think everything is true but one. I dated a Cancer, too, and he was a loser. We went out like three times. For some reason Cancers and me don't get along. Most times I've noticed that.

By Rachy 2007-08-02 10:20:50

I'm Scorpio. I born 25 October and I like to get along with people and I never met another Scorpio female in my life. That's why I'm wondering about it. Weird with everything at my school life is that even girls are hitting on me and it's not something to be proud of. But anyway, I have boyfriend and he's a Scorpio too and we get along very well. For me, it's not easy to make friends in my area and I think it has to be parts of my sign but I just have some friends I trust. I think that to understand Scorpio has to do with feelings and trust. Cause a scorpion is very dangerous. It can kill anything or anyone if something goes wrong. Peace, Rachy

By nishant 2007-09-02 18:51:53

I am a Scorpio born on the 31st, and my name is "Nishant",and my girlfriend is a Libra. Can I think about a long time relationship with her, because so far we are getting along well. She has become very compromising and patient. I am also aware that our compatibility rate is very low. I get attracted to many girls but I am not taking initiative,and I don't know why? I am not even commitment to her and she is very insecure about that. I am not afraid of loosing her but I don't know whether I will be able to face the consequences. Therefore, I've stopped thinking about it. I mean I have no clarity in my thoughts

By Md.Sarwoar Hosen 2007-09-05 20:22:52

I am a Scorpion by sun sign. I have a problem with the number 13. It seems to be everywhere I go. When I look at my watch it seems to have 13 on it, like 1:13pm etc., also when I finish speaking on the cell phone I will have spoken for 3 minutes 13 seconds. I am from Bangladesh. There are many examples like this. There is a Proverb about the unlucky number 13. I need your astrological help. Thanks.

By hmmm 2007-10-15 04:40:33

Annette, the second person to comment on your response, it is so completely true. It made me smile. But I must admit being secretive kind of amuses me. It's also hard when you want to speak and your vocal chords stop working. I can yell about nothing, but I can't even whisper what has meaning.

By berd 2007-10-27 06:56:35

I guess all the Scorpio traits describe above are true. Being an ascendant of Scorpio, I can attest that Scorpians are more inclined to secrecy. I find it easier not to share my thoughts with other people. I am afraid that they might not understand me or mis-interpret what I am trying to convey. I also love playing that poker face game, especially when my friends are trying to read my thoughts.

By Sameerah 2007-11-03 14:26:26

I'm a Scorpio dating a Cancer and really considering not seeing him again. I'm very interested in dating another Scorpio.

By Maximus 2007-11-15 18:43:56

Hey, my name is Maximus and I will be your Hero this afternoon. I was born on October 25th. I am a young male, and its the bomb being a Scorpion. My best mates are water signs because they are on the same level of emotion. I prefer meaningful conversations. Although I would rather party with a fiery sign, someone who can match my energy, or at least try. I have every Scorpio trait. I am confident, inquisitive, always asking what this or that is and how it works, magnetic, passionate, protective, cocky, and sometimes jealous. I am working on this jealousy stuff and its getting boring. We are misunderstood but that can be fixed. We are so passionate about everything we do. If you just back of a little and be patient and take your time choosing your words. We will understand. Our facial expressions are totally different to what we are thinking. That magnetism stuff comes naturally. Don't even try to put it on. It's just there thanks to Pluto, and here is how. We are assigned to our planets from having the same flow of energy as the planet. The planets energy has the same energy flow as the star sign. I find this a coincidence, Pluto being found not long ago and Scorpios traits being secretive and mysterious cool stuff.

By Amille 2008-01-02 09:20:54

Hello I am a Cancer my husband is a Scorpio we get on like a house on fire. We never argue and we give each other our space, but I do think that Cancer being a feminine sign doesn't do any justice to male Cancers. They do become a bit jerky. I am not Romantic. I am more practical, but I feel I am a true Cancer. I think for Cancer and Scorpio it changes person to person, but I also think Scorpio being a more male sign doesn't help female Scorpions. I know a lot of female scorpions and they are just a bit airy. They don't have much brains. I am not saying that for all, but I know quit a lot of them. The only Scorpion man I know is my husband, and he is very smart unlike the Scorpion woman. All the Scorpion woman I know tend to cheat a lot, unlike the men. Why is this?

By Michelle 2008-01-13 16:45:54

Hey there. I'm a female Scorpio, and I'm extremely proud of it. I've read up a lot about Scorpio personalities, and something they always say is that we are "very secretive". Well, I just don't think that's the best way to put it. I'm very open with my close friends, and when people ask me questions, personal or not, I try to answer truthfully. Any secrecy we Scorpios have is more subtle. For instance, I'll share my opinion in a situation, but often in a vague way that doesn't show the details of my thoughts. My friends and lover know me well, but there's a layer of thought in my mind, and probably in most Scorpios' minds, which those people will never touch, know, or fathom. Even in coldness and distance, those thoughts are always there. So I think that Scorpios are better described as rivers that run deeper than they appear, or icebergs, where most of the mass is under the surface. Also, I am in a fantastic relationship with a Capricorn right now. They say we're the best match and I believe it. We really balance each other out, understand each other, and are equally passionate. I get a lot of male attention, but he really gets me.

By Steffy B 2008-02-07 07:51:45

It's true, we Scorpio females are naturally magnetic to all, male and female. We are proud signs, very loyal. Naturally suspicious, you have to be mature and know when to sustain from being jealous. We are naturally jealous as well. Why would anyone else look at someone else, because we care so much. That is if we give you the time of day. Our moments are precious. We like to lounge and be home bodies at times. Other times we are the people out that everyone is trying to talk to, dance with, or just be around. I talk as if everyone is just like me, but I am sure you are in some way. We Scorpios can feel what you feel, what you need. We can turn any situation into whatever direction we want. We can be selfish while acting selfless. Normally if we have to we can use people to get what we need or want, not in a bad way unless were hurt. If a Scorpio female is hurt. Just forget about it, it's all over for you. You don't exist any longer. This will make you feel inadequate, because you will never forget what it is to be loved by a Scorpio girl.

By John 2008-04-07 15:49:29

I am having trouble with being a Scorpio. I have become blunt and cold-hearted throughout my parents divorce, and I don't want to be like that. Recently I have found myself arguing with the people closest to me over stupid things. I don't hangout with my friends as much, and I am always working. I don't feel like I am getting anywhere in life, so I live my life day by day. I need some help and figured I might try this.

By Deb 2008-04-08 07:08:08

Hi Jon, This kind of break up is traumatic and will make many people react in a way that is similar to grieving over the death of a relative. Your response is quite normal and you are trying to deal with it in your own way and by not showing all of your emotions. You may need to be careful that you don't fall into a depressed state. It would be best to start gradually getting out more and look to friends that are positive. Don't stew in what has happened. Begin to enjoy life again.

By mari 2008-04-09 05:09:16

Hi john, I think the best way is to find a good counselor who can listen to you and understand how you feel and help you through this. You can also try hypnotherapy which can help you change your attitude to many things in life.

By Codie 2008-05-01 19:19:10

My moon sign is Scorpio, and I can't tell you how much more I act like a Scorpio than my sun sign, Leo. I guess since I'm a woman and moon signs correlate more with emotion and feeling, this is why I portray more Scorpio characteristics than Leo. I find it very difficult to possess the two most passionate signs in the Zodiac in both my sun and moon sign. My perceptions on life constantly fluctuate between positive to negative, and I just wish I could find a happy medium with my emotions. There are some days when I love life to the fullest, and others I honestly wish some of the most horrible things upon my life and everything around me. I think that I am optimistic and gregarious while with close friends like a Leo, but like a Scorpio, I am extremely secretive and suspicious of people I don't know. It takes a great deal of time for me to warm up to people and I to them, but once we're close, the bond to me is almost eternal.

By britfacex 2008-05-21 19:20:20

Every site I read says Scorpios and Aries aren't good. well, I am a Scorpio, and am very much like one in nearly all ways lol, and he's the thickheaded, stubborn Aries I always read about. We fight a lot, but I don't feel anyone else could be more perfect for me. Plus I dated a pieces, and we were supposed to be very compatible. It was the worst thing ever.

By Scorpio teen 2008-05-29 07:04:05

Hey, I'm a Scorpio and a teenage girl. I have recently met an Aries guy that I would like to date, but I just can't seem to do anything right. He has asked me out, but I said no. I am now in a state of mental turmoil. I can't open up enough to tell him how I feel, as I'm not completely sure myself, and I kinda think I blew my chance.

By Dee 2008-05-29 07:06:14

Hi Scorpio Teen, why not tell him you have reconsidered and would love to go out with him. The worst thing that can happen is he says no. You would be no worse off than you are now.

By amber 2008-06-25 07:10:21

Hmmm interesting, I have never fallen for a Scorpio guy on first sight, never, though I do have an awful lot of Scorpio friends, I have a lot of the Scorpio traits and none of my supposable rising sign, and each time I check to see what my rising sign may be, I get something different, why? Can someone point me to a website that may give me the most accurate answer?

By Nicky 2008-07-17 05:24:48

Hi, I am a female Scorpio with all the traits possible. The most negative ones we are known for, jealous and obsessive, are my biggest problem. The amount of friendships and relationships that have been ruined because of these traits is unbelievable. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to reduce or even eliminate these feelings? Does anyone have the same problems?

By namarta 2008-08-19 18:19:27

I want to know if two lovers who are talking about marriage and had a bad fight to where each doesn't want to even see the other's face, might be helped by using Reiki? I would like it to work so that they can have a normal talk. What are the chances of solving this issue with Reiki? What would the process be? How expensive would it be? What percent chance would it have of working?

By Adilene 2008-08-25 08:14:12

I am a proud Scorpio woman. I am fun loving and like to chill indoors as well as out. I'm also somewhat secretive to an extent depending on what it is. For Example if I am seeing someone my closest friends or family may not even know right away, and I don't care about their approval or opinion. But because my privacy and intimate life is very personal and sacred to me. I believe that there are different types of Scorpios and many of us also go through the phases of all good and evil, and survivor and strong minded etc. I've personally gone through the phases and at my age of 19. I feel reincarnated from the previous years bad and good relationships etc. I was just thinking about how this person wrote that a Scorpio girl will barrow your best dress. I wouldn't do that. I would go to an expensive store and buy the prettiest dress wear it and then return it the next day. I am a generous and loving person. I just tend to be devious once in awhile.

By scorpioforever 2008-09-03 20:45:18

I am a Scorpio girl who is married to a Taurus boy. I have been married for over 6 years, and he is the only man I have ever been with. I was OK with everything until I started my new job 8 months ago. I have had my doubts about my marriage for close to a year now, but I think I just didn't think about it too much. Anyhow, so I started this new job which is with this large firm with 64 people. There was one guy who always caught my attention, making a long story short, this man and I have a lot in common. We are both Scorpios. He is married as well with 2 small children. But I have to say that we have a strong chemistry and there is no doubt that there is physical attraction going on. But nothing has happened. We are like 2 peas in a pod. I can see right through him most of the times and he does the same thing with me. I just don't know what to do. I like him a lot, but I also know better. I am 28 and he is 38. I can tell he gets jealous when my husband is around. I just wish I knew exactly how he felt. Sometimes we go have drinks but it's more on the friendship basis then an affair. Nothing has happened between us as far as sexually, just a hug. I can use advise on this. Thank you very much.

By Elysia 2008-09-08 18:02:23

I am a Scorpio girl. I also fall in love easily with people. I love people and I like to study people. I can adapt to any environment. And no matter what, girls either love or hate me, and the men want me. I never lead men on in ways of sexual comments only with sex appeal that runs naturally in my veins. I know I must have been born with it. I am very passionate about the spiritual stuff that no else cares about. I am very deep, and I try my hardest to explain myself to the unknowing simple minded souls. I don't really think that I am so secretive. I just don’t like to waste time talking to people about stuff that doesn't matter. I keep what doesn’t matter to myself. I am very revengeful when I get bullied around to much. I will only take so much. I one time became very angry with my husband and framed him to go to jail for 24 hours when he did nothing wrong. It was wrong of me but karma got me back. My husband of six years is a Gemini.

By Crystal 2008-10-06 20:23:19

I would also agree that most of this is true. Guys tell me all the time that I am mysterious, and it's a constant guessing game with me. But I like not being predictable. I am controlling, confident, passionate and have sex appea, not verbal. I am always the one asking why and how. But I am also a bit cocky. And of course jealous. Although I am only 19, I have learned to control that side of me. It's really unattractive when we explode. I use to hold in my emotions and out of no where just explode. But I have learned to trust a little more. I hate it when I don't get my way. I am easily aggravated. I want a guy that gives me attention but not over the top. I like to be the one to look for him. It's complicated. I dated a cancer and that was the best relationship I had ever been in. We were alike in so many ways. We gave each other our space but when we were together it was like the rest of the world didn't exist. In my opinion cancers only come off as jerks because they are so brutally honest. They will point out your flaws and say things you don't want to hear. But personally that was what I mostly loved about him. We Scorpios are not always so appreciative. So when it actually takes us effort and time to get what we want we definitely appreciate it more. He and I are no longer together and honestly I don't know why. It's been a little over year since we broke up. I haven't found anyone like him. I compare every single guy him. Therefore, don't even give them a chance. I don't what to do that anymore.
