scorpio personality
Scorpios love to enjoy their own company, so much so that they can become irritated if they are not given their personal alone time. They are one of the most independent signs of the zodiac and work very well by themselves. Most of them will have an air of mysterious darkness around them, they are great at keeping secrets and feel emotions very intensely. Because of their independence, they tend to mature very quickly as children, and become fiercely determined (sometimes even forceful) adults. It also means that they can be fearless when it comes to trying new things and challenging themselves with the unknown. They have a strong reputation of being bold, and because of this, other signs admire and look up to them for inspiration. Their bravery and courage, alongside their protectiveness towards others who cannot stand for themselves, often means that they are placed in leadership positions.
positives of scorpio zodiac sign
Strengths: Passionate, Driven, Perceptive, Emotional, Sacrificing, Determined
One of the most misunderstood signs in the zodiac, Scorpios may appear cold and unapproachable, and indeed many have an intimidating air. Bubbling just beneath the surface is turbulent waters, intense passions and feelings that are hidden at first glance. They often have great self-control, more so than most others. In fact, they crave control - it gives them a feeling of safety and security. Despite being rather private about themselves, they love getting to the truth of things - and their intuitions about others are typically very strong and correct, meaning that their ability to decipher the essence behind things are fast and efficient. Many Scorpios are protective of both themselves and others and will rarely allow themselves to get hurt. This means that they are usually quite secretive and rarely show their feelings. They will protect their friends quite fiercely and most tend to give great advice, given that they love knowing how our minds work. Because they can keep secrets, they tend to be valued deeply by their friends and are very trustworthy.
negatives of scorpio zodiac sign
Weaknesses: Vindictive, Paranoid, Destructive, Possessive, Jealous, Clingy
A Scorpio’s need for control can oftentimes mean that they seem intolerant, jealous and manipulative. Their possessive nature is oftentimes unwarranted. Given their love of analyzing people and their intentions, they can often see bad things on the horizon that aren't always there and can come across as very suspicious without any just cause. When in this state, their imagination can sometimes whip them into a jealous frenzy, and that can sometimes mean they dream up situations that simply aren’t true. They can start assuming the worst about everything and everyone, making them lash out everywhere, sometimes even leading to self-destructive behavior. Scorpios can seem, to some signs, to be untrustworthy because of their tendencies to be quiet and their ability to keep secrets. Another trait that is much feared by other zodiac signs is their sense of vengeance. They never forget a betrayal or insult, meaning that they can choose to retaliate even for the slightest of injuries. Scorpios can hold grudges for a long time and it is not a good idea to cross them. They can react aggressively when they feel threatened or jealous, living up to their animal namesake.
