Intense, enigmatic and uncompromising. These are the key words you’re likely to hear about yourself if you’re born under the sign of Scorpio. Nothing you set your sights on is ever done lightly or without deep thought, and even your throwaway comments are often loaded with hidden meaning.
The upside of all this intensity and quest for the truth is that you rarely take anything or anyone at face value, so you know what you’re getting into, whether it’s within a relationship, a job or simply finding the right person to fix your car. You do your research. The downside is that you often set the bar ridiculously high when it comes to being able to trust anyone, and getting to know you intimately is a challenge that can be like a quest to find the impossible.
That’s not to say you’re not sociable. Far from it, though while you might hang out with a wide range of people and may even be known as a party animal, only a handful of kindred spirits will belong to your inner circle and be granted access to your deepest thoughts and the darkest secrets of your soul.
Your go-to style is likely to be awash with black, with decadent flashes of scarlet – you would almost literally kill for a pair of shiny, red-lacquered sole Louboutins! – and you radiate discreet glamour and sensuality. Your sign rules the 8th house in astrology, which is all about sex, money and the seamy side of life. As a result, you may be more in touch with your own dark side than any of the other 11 signs, with a fascination for crime novels and murder mystery movies. The Kama Sutra and steamy 50 Shades of Grey may be required reading for your sultry sign.
Suspicious and often superstitious too, the chances are that you own at least one set of tarot cards and won’t make an important move without checking your horoscope first. Since your birthday season falls around Halloween a fascination with all things spooky also comes naturally to you – horror films, haunted houses, graveyards – and your ‘trick or treat’ costume of choice is likely to be inspired by the authentically awesome Mexican Dia de los Muertos (Day of the Dead). You’re often uncannily intuitive, able to sense things before they happen and have strong gut feelings about people and situations, thanks to Scorpio’s status as a super sensitive Water sign. Alongside fellow Water signs Cancer and Pisces you tend to be the most psychically aware signs in the zodiac set.
In love, you’re passionate and sensual, but also often exceptionally possessive and jealous. It’s not in your Scorpionic nature to forgive any lover who betrays you in romance or with money, and neither are you likely to forget. It can take years – potentially a lifetime – of constantly beating yourself up emotionally to analyse what went wrong with each and every (even fleeting) relationship. Finding ‘the one’ can also take time and research – yours is the sign most likely to cyber snoop on your partner or potential partner! – but once you’ve made that certain and strong connection it’s a done deal, set in stone.
Unique to your sign is the fact that it has two ruling planets, Mars and Pluto, both of which have a powerful influence on the way you operate. Mars makes you a fierce opponent, determined and often outspoken. You have a knack of saying out loud the things that everyone else is secretly thinking, and you deliver it in a sharp but witty way. The saying ‘Many a true word is spoken in jest’ could have been written to sum up your sign’s communication style.
Your other planetary ruler is powerful Pluto, a volatile entity that symbolises transformation, so throughout your life you’re able to constantly evolve and reinvent yourself. The extreme highs and lows that punctuate your existence enable you to analyse what really makes you tick, and change direction to rise like a phoenix from the ashes. It’s no coincidence that the mythological phoenix is also a symbol of your sign, alongside the scorpion, bestowing upon you the ability to emerge from chaos reborn and renewed, whether it’s physically, emotionally or with a complete change of lifestyle and career.
There’s a real sense of drama about the way you live your life. Not in a showy way: your sign is more understated and all about ‘the feels’ so if you’re not experiencing the peaks of intense pleasure or the depths of extreme pain life tends to seem hardly worth the effort. As a magnetic and magical Scorpio you have more power than you realise, over yourself and over others, so use it wisely!
