Zodiac Scorpio Facts

I am writing about zodiac Scorpio facts, I have already made my official will. For you readers, I advice the same, just as a safety measure. For Scorpio, is a dark, deep water sign, and water is considered to be the most powerful element. Be wary of this 8th zodiac sign, for it is fixed (translated to obstinate and stubborn) and feminine (translated to deeply emotional). Just remember the age-old adage - what you don't know, cannot hurt you. If you believe in it, this is the time to quit reading. For other brave hearts (translated to people with Scorpio friends), below are some interesting zodiac Scorpio facts, that you really should know.

Astronomy and Mythology - Zodiac Sign Scorpio

Scorpios belong to the archetype of rebel sex gods and goddesses (mind my crude language) and are exactly the ones that mothers warn their children against. There are many mythological legends surrounding the Scorpio zodiac but the most popular one, is the Greek legend that revolves around the hunter Orion. It is believed that Hera summoned Scorpious, the scorpion, to kill Orion. The constellation that belongs to the Scorpio zodiac has the giant red star, Antares, lending to its magnificence. The constellation can be easily seen during summer, in the southern horizon. All those born approximately between 23rd October and 21st November fall under the Scorpio zodiac. The zodiac Scorpio is ruled by the dark, cold, mysterious planet Pluto and the powerful warrior planet of Mars. They give Scorpio the gift of power to overcome its curse. It is every scorpion's mortal curse to find himself swayed and lured by the temptations of life. And Scorpio, only Scorpio, can come out of some of them alive, with just battle scars.

Scorpio Facts - The Zodiac Scorpio Persona and Physical Appearance

This is where the article gets interesting and contentious. Interesting because you can learn about the eccentricities that belong only to Scorpio. Contentious because most Scorpions will be begging (I meant dying, for scorpions do not beg!) to differ on most of the following.

• Most scorpions will seem like they can see you, right to your soul. Don't believe them if they claim so. Their piercing eyes do give this eerie feeling to most, but this intuitive sign does not belong to clairvoyants. They are intuitive, not psychic.
• When you see someone who makes you suck in your stomach and stand up straight, you know you've just met a scorpion. Their sexual magnetism is unparalleled, no contradiction with the fact that the Scorpio zodiac belongs to life, death, rebirth and sex.
• They dress well and take good care of their bodies (seen a bulky Scorpio lately? Bet you, he still claims workouts!)

Scorpio Characteristics - The Person Behind the Appearance

To know a scorpion, you really have to simply spend a lifetime with him. No, there is no other way, not even twenty questions. Try question one, and he'll be off before you finish, because scorpions are underhand, and underhand never works if exposed. The following are some sane, some weird characteristics that can only belong to scorpions (no one else can even imitate them):

• Let's start with the aura. There is a serious aura surrounding those that fall under the zodiac Scorpio. They are on a one man mission - to know about others. This effectively means that your scorpion will glean all possible information on you (perhaps from you as well), even before you realize that he has volunteered none.
• These intuitive creatures are rulers of their own destiny because they'd rather kill than be killed. They want to be in control of things and always prefer to be in the driver's seat. Dangerous they are, unconquerable certainly not, as most scorpions are victims of their own strength.
• Scorpions cannot forgive and hence they are the slave of their own misery. Not for long though, because a scorpion will always find a way to get even, a way to his revenge.
• Scorpions live life on their own terms. Highly committed to their work, they are liable to promote their agenda on every turf that they get. Understand that your Scorpio friend will know exactly what to say, before he opens his mouth. Scorpions are opinionated and can defend their opinions to the end of the world. These two combine to make Scorpio the legendary savior when it comes to verbal battles. (For the fist fights, please go and befriend an Aries or a Leo).
• What I like best about the Scorpio zodiac is that they are formidable adversaries that rarely end up on the losing side. Their winning habits are not because of some mysterious powers assigned to them by astrology, it is merely their power to persevere where you and I bow out.
• Scorpions are the most prone to self-destructive behavior, from all the twelve astrological signs. This is solely because addiction lures them, every step of their way. They do nothing in moderation (more like, don't know what it means) and this leads them into an obsessive compulsive way of life. Most of all, Scorpions should stay away from alcohol, as it goes against their nature to resist liquids.
• Many astrologers claim the zodiac Scorpio to be the most intelligent amongst astrological signs (they obviously haven't met some of us Leos, so we forgive them for thinking so). What makes them so shrewd, is their resourcefulness, that gets them out of any scrapes, that they have likely dug for themselves.
• The most mysterious Scorpio fact pertains to their regenerative powers. Yes, scorpions have amazing healing powers (and it is not because they share star fish cell properties). They resist disease and resilient in their aftermath.
• Scorpions are excessively temperamental and vindictive as children. Most of us with Scorpio friends, like to believe that they outgrow these tendencies as adults.
• This dark sign shares an amazing synchronicity in the curious timings of the birth, death and rebirth circles. I can't explain this better, find out for yourself instead. Check the birth and death anniversaries in your family. Try linking them with a Scorpio birth date in your family. Now ponder over the conclusion for yourself, while I move on.
• Scorpios make great leaders. They have the leadership, magnetism, passion and power, to tide them over problems. They have the determination, intuition, independence, persistence, intensity, creativity and analytical skills to land them into high positions.
• On the other hand, they are dogged with obstinacy, secretiveness, resentfulness, jealousy, obsessiveness, greediness and wet melancholy. Their bossy, selfish perception also gets in their way sometimes. They have a tendency to be rude and bitterly sarcastic, that needs to be curbed if they are not to alienate people. Though I believe some would prefer starring in 'How to lose friends and alienate people II'.
• What I love the most about scorpions, is their exceptionally high emotional quotient. One of my best friend, a most loved Scorpio, is successful today, solely for her ability to understand people's deepest emotions. This can also be their Achilles heal.
• Scorpions have the most amazing ability to make people feel like puny insects. One of my very first crushes looked right through me and on the good days made me feel non-existent, on the bad days, lower than pond scum.
• Keeping all the bad aside, Scorpions are the strongest, most lovable friends ever. Their loyalty is unquestionable and though hidden, their interests are honorable. They are also adept investigators so if you want to dig up dirt on your soon-to-be spouse, a Scorpio friend is an absolute must have.

Miscellaneous Zodiac Scorpio Facts

• Jealously deserves a separate bullet with scorpions. If you love one, don't provoke his jealousy. If you socialize a lot, don't date a scorpion. Don't take this bit lightly, for a scorpion is not jealous with a capital J, he is jealous with the entire word written in upper case and made bold. If he has nothing to be jealous about, be assured that he will make up such scenarios.
• To seduce a scorpion, you need to have the prerequisites - have a high patience level with emotional matters, get expertise in the art of skilled lovemaking, don't be boring (ever) and don't ever ask for advice (ask at your peril, because your answer will be the honest, brutal truth, that you'd rather not have known).
• There are no casual love affairs with scorpions. Please know that they WILL escalate and have the molecular tendency of volatile substances. Seduce them with luxury and they will take it all, the hook, the line and the sinker. But don't expect to be able to wash your hands off quickly.
• For those who want to know, Taureans are the most well-equipped to take on scorpions in any kind of romantic relationship. So unless you've suddenly grown horns, expect to work really hard on your relationship, to make it a two-way success. Scorpio compatibility is least with Aries.
• Scorpions should avoid seasonal food and toxic substances, but I know it's a waste to ask them nicely. Well at least I know that they will take fresh air and adequate rest, without me putting it on their daily planners.
