Scorpio is the sign of the Scorpion
Element water & motto 'I Control'
Character
Scorpio is the eighth sign of the Zodiac and is represented by the scorpion. Your emotions are very strong and you keep them under strict control, but they bubble under the surface only to erupt over some small thing when others least expect it. This is because you hide your inner turmoil so well that on the surface everything looks normal. You are very secretive and feel that knowledge is power, so you ask probing questions to find out about other people to help you control your immediate environment. Scorpio is associated with the sexual organs and you have the reputation of being overly interested in sex. With a Scorpio Sun you have amazing determination and once your mind is made up you will not turn back on any decision. You are fascinated by all things hidden and will do your utmost to find out about other people's secrets. Your strong emotions and jealous nature result in you always seeking revenge if crossed. Because of this you are capable of great destruction, more than any other sign, and at the very least you can be very cutting and sarcastic. Your deep and hidden feelings mean that you are prone to brood and if someone hurts you, you will never forget. You have a powerful magnetism that makes you very popular and attractive, especially to the opposite sex. When in a relationship you make a passionate lover and a loyal friend as you have a natural psychic ability that helps you to connect emotionally with those around you. Other people either love or hate you, nothing in between, and you are also very extreme yourself with your likes and dislikes. You give the impression of being cool and cynical because of your reluctance to express or show your feelings but underneath you are extremely vulnerable. In a relationship you need constant proof of affection and are not suited to a partner who is undemonstrative. You tend to have a few very close and trusted friends.
