Scorpio - The Eighth Sign of The Zodiac

Scorpio is the most passionate Sign of the Zodiac. Scorpio energy is quiet and probing, they have the ability to sense emotions and feelings from a deep level within themselves. Scorpio is intense and very serious in the matters of the heart, trust and honesty. Whilst they expect you to be honest and open, they, more often than not, stay quite guarded themselves. They will open up after they have completed the risk assessment.

Their emotions endure and their memories are long. Scorpio is not flippant or shallow, they are deep, they feel and they are private. There are emotions which cannot be articulated with language; each of the water signs get this, but Scorpio knows it from their core. Music and art are often employed to convey emotions.

This is the sign that teaches us that change is a part of life. They can sense the need for change and are often instrumental in the changes. Scorpio energy is essentially that of transformation – the cycles and trends of change. Endings and new beginnings are the realm of Scorpio. They are adept at negotiating change and at helping others to cope with change. These are the people that counsel and aid others to get through the heavy times of life. If they are not doing this in their work life it will be part of their private life. They will be, the go to one, when the stinky stuff starts flying! They, like their fixed counterpart Leo don’t mind a bit of drama as it makes life all the more interesting for them.

Scorpio cannot behave with pretence unless they are scheming in a sneaky plan - if it's not honest, its not on! Their own ability to portray falsity is unequalled by any other sign bar Pisces (Pisces is more the thespian version). They can often be frank and straight forward about others but not always about themselves as that might give the game away. Scorpio is a secretive sign; they will not share all of their secrets with anyone. Even those closest to them will not know. Given how intense they can be it might be better that nobody knows!

As friends they are loyal as long as you honour and respect their feelings. As adversaries they are cunning, vindictive and suspicious. There is no half way with Scorpio – it’s all or nothing. If you hurt them emotionally, commit adultery or tell their secrets they will end their partnership, friendship or business relationship with you. They do not forgive and they will not change their feelings. Whether that hurt is implied or actual Scorpio will react – there is no taking back a feeling, sorry is just a word to them and it will not illicit forgiveness. Eventually over time they might forgive enough to restore relations but it will never be the same as it was ever again to the Scorpio. If they do talk to you again it will be because they had an epiphany of some sort or you are really important to them.

When it comes to disasters, emergencies and really "heavy" situations you want Scorpio energy beside you – they have the ability to do what needs to be done in a calm and controlled manner. Occupations that are intense are suited to Scorpio – someone has to do it! Otherwise Scorpio needs to be in positions that give them a sense of control. They need to work in positions without supervision. They also work better when they are alone.

Scorpio energy is very connected to the intimate exchanges of passion between love partners. To possess and to be possessed is their approach to the intimate engagements of marriage. Commitment to a Scorpio comes with ownership papers. They are extremely jealous if their spousal situation is threatened by an outsider. When Scorpio makes a commitment to a love relationship, they make it seriously and they will love and protect their partner no matter what. Harm their love and expect that revenge is a dish best served cold. You will be on their hit list for eternity. Scorpio wrote the “till death do us part” line in the vows. Divorce is a metaphorical death to Scorpio – don’t expect friendship after the papers come through. They are done and you no longer exist to them.

Scorpio is the Eighth Sign of the Zodiac. As a Water sign Scorpio is intuitive, sensitive and emotional. The third fixed sign of the Zodiac Scorpio consistently works towards an aim.
