Overview

Scorpio is the sign of depth, transformation and truth. Ruled by Pluto, and traditionally by Mars, Scorpio feels strongly and shows only part of it. They are drawn to what is hidden, and they read people very well.

A strong Scorpio Sun is determined, resourceful and fiercely loyal, and rarely does anything halfway.

Strengths

  • Emotional depth and courage
  • Determined and resourceful
  • Loyal to the people they trust
  • Perceptive about people and motives

Challenges

  • Jealousy and a need for control
  • Keeping secrets and testing trust
  • Holding grudges for a long time

In love

Scorpio wants real intimacy, not surface romance. They give everything once trust is earned, and they expect the same honesty back. A Scorpio partner does best with someone steady, open and not afraid of intensity.
