Scorpio

What Scorpio is like

Scorpio is the sign of depth. Intense, private and perceptive, a Scorpio has little interest in small talk and a sharp sense for what is not being said.

They feel things fully and do not let go easily. Trust is earned slowly with them, and once broken it is hard to rebuild.

Scorpio in love

Scorpio wants depth and honesty in love, all or nothing. They are fiercely loyal and expect the same in return.

Jealousy and control can be the shadow side when they feel insecure. The work for this sign is often letting someone in without needing to be in charge of everything.

Scorpio at work

Focused and strategic, Scorpio does well with research, investigation, crisis and anything that rewards persistence and a willingness to look under the surface.

They dislike being kept in the dark. Where information is withheld, a Scorpio tends to lose trust in the whole place.

How Scorpio decides

Scorpio decides privately and thoroughly, after looking at what others would rather not see. Once committed, they are hard to stop.

The risk is acting from an old wound rather than the present situation. It helps them to ask whether the choice is about now, or about something that happened before.

What Scorpio often brings to a reading

Scorpios frequently bring to a reading something they have not told anyone: a pattern they keep repeating, a loss they have not finished with, a relationship they cannot read. They usually want honesty more than comfort.
