Scorpio: *Intensity Intensifies*

10/28/2019

9 Comments

 
We hope everyone's Libra season was light and sociable, because this next month is all about our secretive side. Welcome to Scorpio season! 

Where to begin with Scorpios? Although that this is one of the most disliked signs of the entire zodiac, they're also one of the most misunderstood. To start, contrary to popular belief, Scorpio is a water sign. That's right, as in, NOT a fire sign, although this misconception is understandable, considering the passion and intensity that defines Scorpios. When we think of the other two water signs that we've covered in this series, we think of soft and sensitive souls who are deeply emotional and have an aura of gentle sadness. Scorpios are also highly emotional, but they express it quite differently than Cancer and Pisces. Scorpios present themselves as emotionally bulletproof. They come across as confident and secure people who never let their guards down, and never show vulnerability. Despite the face that they show to the world, deep down, Scorpios have incredibly sensitive hearts. As a water sign, they feel all emotions very deeply, and they must guard their hearts with a shield. There are only a few carefully selected people who can break through this shield and see them for who they truly are. To elaborate... Scorpios have trust issues. They are highly secretive, especially about themselves. If they share a secret with you, just know that you mean a lot to them, and they trust you with the world. Whatever you do, do not break their trust! Scorpios are vengeful when betrayed, and they will never let you forget! If there's a theme that you should be noticing by now, it's that Scorpios think exclusively in black and white. Their minds work in extremes, and they are the most all or nothing people you will ever meet. They are highly intelligent and clever, and are at least 3 steps ahead of you at all times. Despite all of these intense qualities, don't be intimidated by Scorpios! In love and friendships, they are incredibly sacrificing and devoted for life. They are brave, unconditionally loyal, and will always be honest with you. 

Dates: October 23rd- November 21st
Symbol: The Scorpion
Element: Water
Traits: Intense, passionate, determined, focused, brave, loyal, ambitious, authentic, secretive, defensive

In true Scorpio fashion, we've barely scratched the surface of their souls. Their depths are dark, but shimmering and limitless. Learning about Scorpios is an entire journey itself, and we encourage you to look more into this sign! Click here and here for more information!

I am a Scorpio, and I find the second article link to the Tribute by the GEMINI very Toxic and biased, opinionated and not based off of facts. I’m also an Empath, and could feel the attitude of the writer behind the words. It was very toxic. I think it would be more appropriate for an Actual Scorpio to write it instead. Because only a true Scorpio would know about ourself. And could give better advice.

Thing is each and every single person on this planet, is different and unique, relying solely on someones sun sing, to predict their personality is flawed of course, there are other planets part of someones chart, even then still, we have to build relationships with people to get to know them, to know them..........and environmental factors are a factor to how a person behaves, thinks and acts in this world.

Problem with this statement "They are highly intelligent and clever, and are at least 3 steps ahead of you at all times."

EVERYONE in the zodiac thinks that way about themselves.
Also, it doesn't make any sense for that to be true because Scorpios make up THE most populated sign there is. So if they are all so intelligent and cunning and 3 steps ahead of everyone else, why is this world so backwards???
Truthfully, Scorpios are misunderstood but the "mystery" is easily seen through. Pluto isn't very mysterious at all and neither are Mars. People often try to overly complicate astrology. These are two of the the most basic functioning planets there is hence why Aries and Scorpio people are extremely easy to understand as they are motivated by their own basic instincts and nothing more.

"Although that this is one of the most disliked signs of the entire zodiac" This sentence has a negative meaning, and you are literally spread it through your platform. Hope someday you understand the meaning of astrology and respect all the signs. The rest of the article was just perfect!

The article is interesting and on my November scorpio opinion it does go rightly to the point. Overall, scorpio is considered to be the most misunderstood zodiac sign of the 12 official ones and does bear quite a great deal of negative associations as the main animal scorpio is associated with darkness.

Generally speaking, regardless of whether one agrees or not, rather than being defensive and finding faults in the article (I am not the author nor do I know the author), perhaps if this is seen constructively might be a good thing.

Based on extensive literature review on the topic of scorpio as a zodiac sign the information here written is correct.

Great article, thank you!

I am a scorpio and i like the article but it does come of as a bit toxicity toward the scorpios and just because you have said the basic opinion of scorpios in this article rather then the deeper parts of a scorpios emotions and how they behave.

Im also a person who can tell how people are by just looking, listening to them or how they write things which means emotions and behaviours are easy to know. Meaning that I can tell when people are not telling the truth or their real opinion of the argument or what they are keeping from me.

I also can see some of my future days in my dreams and then It happens which is extremely creepy and I can hear people from 12m away and can feel when someone is looking at me I don't know if this is normal.
