Scorpio Personality
Scorpio is a fighter, and often heads into battle without thinking to warn anyone first.
You'll recognize this sign the moment you ask for an opinion. Well, you did ask. Scorpio's assessment will be as ruthless as it is objective and devastatingly logical. Even if they were flirting charmingly a second ago, your innocent question can switch them straight from feeling to unrelenting reason.
Were you just making conversation? Hoping they'd agree that it's a lovely day? Not so fast. They're prepared to analyze the question and give an answer a weather forecaster could envy. Scorpio has no patience for empty words and is unusually honest and objective in judging things.
Little wonder people approach them cautiously. The same candor applies to everything else. Their opinion can lift you up, or land like a sentence being passed. The fact that an uncomfortable observation is true doesn't necessarily help. People don't always want the bitter truth, especially delivered so directly and with no room for appeal. That's why few people feel neutral about Scorpio. You can adore them or hate them wholeheartedly, but you can't ignore them.
What Makes Scorpio Tick?
Other people's opinions of Scorpio make little difference to them. They're so sure of their abilities that outside judgments barely register. They know their own worth, and this isn't empty self-deception. Their extraordinary energy and vitality really do help them overcome almost any obstacle.
Their endurance and willpower can seem limitless. Problems, even serious blows from life, rally them and make them stronger. This is a true fighter: confident, accustomed to struggle, and accustomed to winning. That assurance extends to work, friendship, money, and love. Once Scorpio sets a goal, they know they'll reach it. Circumstances, or fate itself, probably won't stop them.
Strong and brave, passionate and independent, sincere and self-assured, Scorpio puts everything into working through difficulty and getting the most from life. A clear mind cuts to the heart of things. An unquenchable fire burns beneath it, ready to warm friends or scorch enemies as circumstances demand.
Scorpio's Element and Ruling Planet
Scorpio belongs to Water and its mysterious depths. Pluto gives the sign penetrating insight and inexhaustible sexual energy. Warlike Mars lends a hand, adding force and determination.
How to Connect with Scorpio
Planning to outsmart Scorpio? You're more likely to come away empty-handed yourself. Naturally suspicious, they won't trust immediately even when you're scrupulously honest. Catch you being insincere once and you may never regain that trust. They spot dishonesty and double-dealing quickly, while revealing little themselves.
If your intentions are clear and honest, conversation should go smoothly. Speak openly, share your thoughts and ideas, and Scorpio will consider the proposal. Accepting it depends on whether it interests them. They won't act simply to please you, so start by explaining what's in it for them.
What if you need them to do something they don't particularly need themselves? Remember their love of puzzles and making the impossible happen. Offer something to think about: a difficult problem that matters to you. Give it the right challenge and this enterprising sign will get moving sooner than you expect. The excitement and the chance to prove their worth can make your problem irresistible.
