The nature of the scorpion

Scorpio is a fixed water sign. Traditionally it is ruled by Mars, and in modern astrology also by Pluto. Fix means: He holds on to what is important to him. Water means: It lives from feeling. Mars and Pluto give him willpower and the ability to change.

People with the Sun in Scorpio have a keen sense of what lies beneath the surface. They notice unsaid things, motives and power relationships. Superficial encounters bore them, but real ones give them strength.

Trust is precious to Scorpio. He doesn't give it away lightly, but checks it first. But whoever wins it has an ally who will stay through thick and thin. Scorpio often faces crises with amazing strength, and often emerges from them transformed.

The strengths of Scorpio

• Depth: Scorpio gets to the bottom of things.
• Loyalty: He remains faithful to whom he loves.
• Willpower: He pursues what he sets out to do with great perseverance.
• Intuition: He often sees through people and situations quickly.
• Crisis resilience: He keeps his nerve in difficult times.
• Honesty: He values the truth, even when it is uncomfortable.

Where the Scorpio gets in his own way

Because Scorpio feels so deeply, pain can take hold. He doesn't easily forget insults, and caution can turn into distrust. Then he keeps people who mean well towards him at a distance.

Control is also an issue. In uncertain moments he wants to keep the situation under control, sometimes also the feelings of others. And because he can hide his inner self well, often no one knows how he really feels.

This is how the scorpion grows beyond itself

• Trust in steps: Give people the chance to prove themselves instead of demanding proof from the start.
• Initiate a person: You don't have to open up to everyone, but to at least one.
• Designing degrees: A conscious ritual helps you to really let old things go.
• Give up control: Practice letting others take the wheel in small things.

Scorpio in love

In love, Scorpio is passionate, intense and loyal. He's not looking for fleeting encounters, but rather a connection that gets under your skin. He wants to know his counterpart completely and be known completely.

Honesty and reliability are more important to him than anything else. Betrayal hits him deeply. In a relationship where both trust each other, he can be very close, protective and devoted.

Scorpios often get along well with other water signs (Cancer, Pisces) and with earth signs (Virgo, Capricorn). Taurus, his opposite sign, attracts calm and stability.

Scorpio at work

At work, the Scorpio works with concentration and persistence. He loves tasks that require depth and won't let up until he understands something. Where others give up, he often really begins.

Many Scorpios can be found in research, psychology, medicine, finance, investigation, or in roles where they accompany change. It is helpful for them to share responsibility and not carry every burden alone.

Scorpio in friendship and family

As a friend, Scorpio is secretive, honest and unwaveringly loyal. He often has few but very close friendships in which everything can be discussed.

In the family, Scorpio is a strong protector. He senses when something is wrong and stands up for his people. He can learn to let bygones be bygones and not want to control every mood.

Myth and constellation

According to Greek legend, a scorpion was sent to defeat the arrogant hunter Orion. Both went to heaven, but on opposite sides: when Scorpio rises, Orion sets. The picture tells of power that works in secret.

The heart of the constellation is the red star Antares. Astrologically, “Scorpio” refers to the eighth section of the zodiac, the time when nature retreats and prepares for a new beginning beneath the surface.

More than your zodiac sign

Your zodiac sign shows where the sun was when you were born. How you feel describes your moon sign, how you act describes your ascendant. A Scorpio with a Moon in Gemini appears lighter, one with a Moon in Cancer even more soulful. More on this Moon in Scorpio, at Ascendant Scorpio and in the overview Planets in the signs.
