Scorpio is a Water Sign

The eigthth Sign of the Zodiac which also rules the eighth House, the House of Sex.

Scorpio is ruled by the Planets Mars and Pluto; Mars was the God of War in Roman mythology while Pluto was the God of the Underworld.

In the Zodiac Scorpio is opposite Taurus.

Scorpio is the (sometimes) self-destructive Scorpion refusing to give up when everybody else would have thrown in the towel.

What a Scorpio is Like:

Strong - Willed, determined, stubborn, complex, secretive with more skeletons in their closet (imagined or real) than anybody else.

They are very stubborn and get things done when nobody else can.

They have deep emotions and are lusty and perceptive.

Scorpio is a dualistic sign in that it combines materialism with spirituality.

Scorpios are full of life meaningful only after adding an almost mystic significance.

Scorpio's basic need in life is the search for inner values, nothing shallow here!

At its worst Scorpio is like lucifer, at its best a genius.

They are luxurious and extravagant in their tastes, not interested in money.

They have enormous magnetism which allows them to luxuriate to their hearts content without having to work for it.

Giving their all is reserved for private, sometimes secret pursuits.

Scorpios are the most intense, profound, powerful characters in the zodiac with a seething intensity of emotional energy hidden from plain view.

They possess an almost hypnotic quality which they use to further their goals.

They are thoughtful, dignified and reserved, yet with such a magnetism that they accomplish their aims with very little effort.

They possess enormous tenacity and willpower, with sensitivity and deep emotions.

They can be too demanding and unforgiving of faults in others, aroused to anger quickly which may create enemies, sometimes for life.

They possess strong reasoning powers tempered with imagination.

Scorpios are passionate lovers and sexually a delight to their mates who might find it difficult to keep up with them.
