Scorpio is the eighth sign of the zodiac, and lives in the House of Death, Sex and other people’s junk. What I should tell you is that Scorpios are intensely mysterious, sensual beings blessed with the gift of regeneration, like the Phoenix rising from its ashes. Make that a monster rising from his crypt.

Scorpios are obsessed, secretive, control freaks who vampirically suck your energy dry to replenish their egos. Leos are drawn to Scorpios, because of their relentless pursuit of power. 

Of all the signs, Scorpios are the most susceptible to the forces of darkness and light. Their ruling planets of Mars and Pluto (yes, it’s a planet, again) do them no favors. Mars is the God of conflict and aggression, and gives Scorpio its suspicious nature. Thus. everybody thinks Scorpios are up to something. Even those rooting  for them don’t quite trust them. Pluto is the God of extremes, and brings an unmatched instinct for survival to Scorpio’s table.  In other words, they will survive no matter WHAT. 

They are extreme, and not at all rational. They refuse to compromise, as that is weakness in their playbook. They are all-or-nothing in their energies“Assimilate or die!” is the mantra of the Scorpio. 
Scorpio men are passionate and loyal, candid and captivating with an oozing, magnetic charm. They are sexy as hell, but dig a bit deeper, and you’ll find a selfish, potentially unfaithful ass-wipe who will screw around to avoid intimacy. 

The male Scorpion lives for power and control. He craves being Mr. Big. He is jealous, possessive and sarcastic. There’s no handling him. Just put up or shut up. 

“To seduce a woman famous for strict morals, religious fervor, and the happiness of her marriage. What could possibly be more prestigious?” – Christopher Hampton (Scorpio). 

The Scorpio woman embodies total confidence and grace, and she can sense your every mood, and is friendly, but reserved. The bad part is, she’s an ego crusher of the highest caliber. She can destroy your pride in one fell swoop, and chop off your nuts for the fun of it. 

She is fearless, and will hunt you down and flush you out. She taught the bloodhound how to track! 
The Scorpio woman instinctively knows that the fastest way to a man’s heart is through his ribcage. Don’t ever think of betraying this woman. Don’t threaten her in any way, or embarrass her ever. The Scorpio woman betrayed is like an immortal vampire, ever returning to suck the life force out of you. She is clinically depressed, and on more medication than a chimp test subject. (Sorry, PETA)

No man is ever her equal, and in a relationship she will attempt early on to make you her doormat with an embossed “WELCOME” beaten into your ass.

“Never give up, and never under any circumstances face the facts.”  – Ruth Gordon (Scorpio).
Scorpios have difficult lives, and continue to seek out those that “done them wrong” long after the “wrong-doer” has moved on. Moods of a Scorpio range from irritable to pissed off. They brood, sulk, spy and cheat just for the fun of it. 

The White House staff and some of the Secret Service have published books on the “holy shit” personality of what could have been our President, Ms. Clinton. She raged and roared and threw expensive, irreplaceable antiques (usually at Bill’s head).

You Scorpios out there are aware of your faults, but intensely proud of them. Scorpios are paranoid and private, making great psychopaths and stalkers. 

The most intense of all the signs, they have never just “gone with the flow.” Tell a Scorpio to lighten up, and they’ll probably take a lighter to you.

The Scorpio’s philosophy is ,“Shut up and mind your own business.” With a Scorpio, you have to learn to accept them as they are. Just play the game. The Scorpio’s primary impulse is to attack (verbally or physically), and then end the relationship. 

Their Major Arcana card in the Tarot is the DEATH card, endings and beginnings. The knowledge that they have a terrifying fear of rejection deeply buried within them is the primary motivating force behind their actions. Their beliefs and opinions rarely change, so give up on trying to bring new enlightening information to them. 

They may act impervious to an emotional crisis, which might come across as cruel or aloof, when in reality they do it as a form of self-preservation. 

Scorpios have many ordeals to overcome, and they do just that. Against all odds, they survive.
