Scorpio personality at a glance
Scorpio feels everything at full strength. People born under this sign are direct and truthful: if they like something they say so, and if they do not, they say that too. They keep their word, dislike indecision and always finish what they promise. They are magnetic and a little mysterious, determined in whatever they study, and passionate in love. The same intensity can turn into jealousy or anger when they feel betrayed.
- Strengths: honesty, determination, loyalty, charisma, keeping promises, deep empathy
- Challenges: jealousy, a fierce temper, wanting to win every argument, holding grudges
The Scorpio man
The Scorpio man is passionate and protective in love. He does not want anyone else near his partner, and if he feels betrayed, his love can turn into lasting resentment. He dislikes being contradicted and likes to have the upper hand, and his strong emotions, from love to jealousy to desire, can sometimes override his reason. To be happy in love, he needs to learn to cool that fire.
At the same time he is sincere, open and sympathetic to others, and he can feel lonely deep inside. He is very loyal to his friends and loves spending time with them. When he decides to love someone, he gives everything to make that love complete.
The Scorpio woman
The Scorpio woman is attractive and charismatic, and admiration from others boosts her confidence. She is just as straightforward as the Scorpio man: she never pretends, and you can read her feelings on her face. Very self-confident, she makes decisions on the spot without waiting for anyone's opinion. She is mysterious and intriguing, hates sitting still and prefers active, hands-on work.
She has a natural authority and people tend to help her. She does not take orders from a partner and can be quick-tempered and a little suspicious when things do not go her way; she may bottle up her feelings until they burst out. She enjoys beautiful jewellery and fine things, so she spends freely. She is loyal to her friends, honest with everyone, hard-working, punctual and ambitious, and when she loves, she loves with total devotion.
Scorpio in love and relationships
Dating a Scorpio man: accept that he has many friends and needs time with them; do not try to keep him from his group. Give him space and do not interfere too much, and he will love you with complete sincerity.
Dating a Scorpio woman: she is drawn to partners who look after themselves, are healthy and fit, intelligent and well educated, with a good career and a stable life. Do not try to give her orders; win her by matching her energy and honesty.
