Myth: Scorpio was a giant scorpion sent by the earth-goddess Gaia to slay the giant Orion when he threatened to slay all the beasts of the earth.
Scorpio is uncompromising and powerful but not always easy to get to know as they hide much of their true self below the surface. They’re private people – no-one gets to know all their secrets. And no-one will ever get to know anything you tell them either. When crossed, they may bear a grudge and find it hard to forgive, but they don’t get upset over trivialities. Scorpio prefers to attack first, rather than be threatened so it’s imperative to be upfront with them. They can go to extremes and sometimes need a gentle reminder to step back from a situation.
Scorpio takes relationships VERY seriously; casual flings aren’t for them. They are incredibly loyal and will give their all to their relationships, offering love is deep and lasting love. Seductive Scorpio craves intimacy and positively ooze passion, giving them a hypnotic presence. They fall in love quick and hard and demand total devotion from a partner. They can be prone to jealousy and make powerful enemies so it’s always better to deal honestly with a Scorpio.
For Scorpio, money is power. They don’t want to feel beholden to anyone and will avoid getting into debt. This means that sticking to a budget is no problem for Scorpio and they keep a close eye on their bank statements. But they aren’t mean and will lend a bit of cash when really necessary – as long as the situation isn’t your own fault.
Scorpio is willing to work hard and their determination and tenacity helps them achieve whatever they have set their sights on. In the workplace they somehow discover everyone’s secrets without asking a single question – and they’re capable of using that information as ammunition if need be. Similarly, they can uncover any information needed and they make excellent researchers.
If you’re a Scorpio, you need to keep a close rein on your temper and remember that to make room for something new, the old must be destroyed.
