Scorpio & Love

As a magnetic sign, you attract many people to you with your intense stare. Some of you ooze sexuality, while others are a little more awkward, but even the awkward can come across as sexy. You keep people at a distance, always seeming mysterious, and people love puzzles to solve. Each of them want to be the one to figure you out, but you won’t let many of them try.

You’re terrified of getting hurt, and you don’t let people in easily. You need someone who you trust completely, who is a strong person, and who can get you to let loose sometimes. Once you commit to someone, you’re fiercely loyal, almost obsessively so.

You can be prone to jealousy, even when it’s not called for. You’re always worried they’re going to leave you, which is rooted in a deeply held belief that you’re not worthy of anyone good. Let go of that, and you’ll have an easier time in your relationship.

The signs that you’re most compatible with tend to be the ones that are in the same element as yours, which are Cancer and Pisces. Both of these signs understand what it’s like to feel deeply, be hyper sensitive, and will tread carefully with your heart.

Cancer will give you a loving home, and Pisces will help you become more compassionate. Cancer will support you completely, and Pisces will be sweet and romantic. You find these two signs to be easy to get along with.

The sign that opposes yours tends to be the one that you have the most sparks with, and for you, that’s Taurus. Their lackadaisical attitude irks you and their emotional calm is maddening, but their sensuality and your sexuality merge together well, and they can teach you to take a break sometimes while you can teach them to connect with their emotions.

Scorpio & Money & Career

When it comes to money, you can be an excellent investor. You do your research into whatever interests you, and you determine what you want to do. Many of you can do well with stocks, or will find other ways to invest your money. You want it to work for you, though you don’t mind working for it either.

You tend to keep your money for yourself, and could learn to share more, especially with charitable ventures. Money won’t keep you warm at night, and you can’t take it with you when you’re dead, so there’s no use hoarding it like a miser.

When it comes to your profession, you’re a hard worker, but not that great when it comes to working with other people or obeying your boss. You tend to do best in jobs where you’re on your own, and many of you can be good entrepreneurs working for yourself.

With your work ethic and obsessive personality, you can put in the hours needed to be successful. With your interest in the darker side of life, you can enjoy anything to do with forensics, like a forensics accountant or forensic pathologist, as well as professions like a medical examiner or psychologist. Some other Scorpio professions are: detective, profiler, cryptographer, investigator, antiques dealer, researcher.

Scorpio & Health

Scorpio rules the sexual organs, so you can have reproductive health issues and struggle with fertility, have a low sperm count, or difficulty producing eggs. Ovarian cancer, uterine cancer, or cancer of any of the elimination organs is possible. You also need to watch your sexual behavior to avoid sexually transmitted diseases. For women, you may have difficult menstrual cycles, suffer terrible PMS/PMDD, or have reactions to birth control. Scorpio rules your hormones, and you can see problems with overproduction or underproduction of hormones.

Scorpio General

Scorpio, you are the eighth sign in the Zodiac, and the most intense by far. No one can match your intensity, your passion, and you take this approach to everything you do.

There’s no shortage of passion in your relationships, your work, your life, but it can be overwhelming at times. Life is a serious matter, but if you don’t take a break from that every so often, have moments of light-hearted fun and laughter, you won’t find the happiness that you’re looking for.

You are serious, and you take life seriously, and you’re a focused, determined person who can take on a lot of responsibility. Where many others falter, you keep going. It seems that when the going gets tough, you get going, and when it gets tougher, you get tougher.

You rise to the occasion, and even when you fail, you don’t actually fail. You learn from your mistakes and you come back smarter and stronger. That’s why Scorpio is associated with the phoenix rising from the ashes. You’re not afraid of change as long as it’s for a good reason, and you’re constantly looking at your life to see what areas need to be transformed.

While most people shy away from the darker parts of themselves, you embrace them. You see beauty in the darkness, and revel in it. You just have to watch out for living your whole life in the dark, because that won’t help you.

You’re emotional, in the extreme at times, and can seem moody. You can fly into extreme fits of emotion, and your rage is especially impressive, though not usually warranted. You feel so deeply that everything gets you at your core, and you need to learn how to handle your feelings in a way that won’t be so destructive.

It would be good for those around you and for yourself because you won’t put yourself in bad situations as a result of your outbursts. You’re a dedicated sign, and once you put your mind to something, it takes an act from the great beyond to stop you. Success is always within reach.

Natal Planets & House Cusps in Scorpio:

Natal Moon in Scorpio
Scorpio is intense and doesn’t do things halfway, and with your Moon in Scorpio, you don’t feel anything half-heartedly. You’re super mad, you’re super sad, you’re super happy, you’re super everything. Either the emotions take hold of you and seem to control you (rather than the other way around), and your life is a bit of a chaotic mess, or you use your emotions to aid your quests. You probably feel like you need to transform yourself or your life periodically, so learn to do that without making yourself miserable. You understand the world and people on a level much deeper than the rest of us can see, and have a great ability to dissect people and situations. In relationships, you can be steadfastly loyal and passionate or possessive and jealous and manipulative, and if someone deceives you, you’re out for blood, so don’t double-cross these natives. You’ll never forget anyone who screws you over, and may be prone to fits of vengeance, something you’ll need to get a handle on (if you want to stay out of prison). You can seem to have a lot of strength, even if you don’t (the nature of Pluto), and people basically either like you or get freaked out by you.

Natal Mercury in Scorpio
With your natal Mercury in Scorpio, you’re an incredible investigator and researcher. You can dive into anything, and you’ll search until you find everything there is to find. You’re highly observant, and can see everything that happens. When you speak, you speak with passion, but you’re a private person who doesn’t give much away about yourself. When it comes to personal situations, your judgment can be clouded by your emotions, so you do best in situations that don’t actually involve you. You almost always win a fight because you’ll stick it out longer than anyone else. You tend to assume that people have bad intentions, and can be suspicious of their motives. You need to be challenged constantly intellectually so you have something to direct your mental energy towards.

Natal Venus in Scorpio
With your natal Venus in Scorpio, love is an intense experience for you, and you wouldn’t have it any other way. You’re fiercely committed to your partner, and can almost be obsessive. You’re certainly possessive, and can’t stand anyone who won’t be completely loyal to you. Consciously or subconsciously, you like to have the control in the relationship, and need to watch for becoming too controlling. You don’t like for things to get too light, and take love seriously. You like knowing as much as you can about your partner, digging deep, but like to remain a mystery yourself. When you get hurt, you have an incredible wrath, and can make them pay. You can undergo transformations in love throughout your life.

Natal Mars in Scorpio
With your natal Mars in Scorpio, you have an incredible will and focus that allows you to do almost anything that you set your mind to. There’s no challenge that you won’t meet head-on. You may not seem like the type on the surface, but underneath, you’re a force. You believe in your opinions strongly and have a hard time seeing other perspectives. You set goals for yourself to see how well you do and try to make yourself better. You’re magnetic, and people are attracted to you without knowing why. You understand the realities of the world, and this allows you to work within realistic constraints to get what you want. You just have to watch for using ruthlessness, manipulation, and domination as a means of achieving your goals.

Natal Jupiter in Scorpio
With your natal Jupiter in Scorpio, you can throw yourself into work and with your determination and grit, make success yours. You can be good with research and mystery. When you know exactly what you want and dedicate yourself to it, you can have anything and everything. You show strength in the face of adversity and keep going.

Natal Saturn in Scorpio
With your natal Saturn in Scorpio, you work hard to have control over yourself. You may control yourself too well, and not know how to let yourself go. Transforming yourself may be a way for you to attain more power in your life. Your will is strong, but you try not to come across as intense as you may actually be.

Natal Uranus in Scorpio
With your natal Uranus in Scorpio, you have a determined personality and usually do things differently when solving problems. You can be a passionate person, but it can get you into trouble. You can find new ways of digging into mysteries, which can make you good at research, psychology, and science.

Natal Neptune in Scorpio
With your natal Neptune in Scorpio, you’re attracted to the dark side, and you want to have deep spiritual experiences. You just need to make sure you don’t take to addiction in order to achieve the heightened states of consciousness you want to experience. You’re passionate, interested in the occult, and want to transform your life and the world.

Natal Pluto in Scorpio
With your natal Pluto in Scorpio, you can be intense, but you fight hard for what you believe is right. You’re determined and can deal with your inner issues. You don’t care for the rules, are willful, and desire intense experiences.

1st House in Scorpio (Scorpio Rising)
You come across as someone who is powerful, magnetic, and a mystery. You can keep a lot to yourself, not wanting to reveal all in public, and this draws people to you. You tend to have an intense stare or a brooding expression on your face all of the time, and people wonder what’s going on behind those deep eyes. Some may find your intensity to be overwhelming, and you can be somewhat intimidating at times. In most situations, you won’t back down no matter what, and people look to you to be the rock, to take control, and to get through anything. While you are emotional, you know how to control yourself.

2nd House in Scorpio
You keep your financial life to yourself, not wanting other people to know everything you have or don’t have. You can make a lot of money in your life, but it may not be an actual goal to do so. You can invest your money and see it pay off long-term, and do well with a business partner. You may need to transform your values and what you need to feel worth something at some point in your life. You can make money through something Scorpio-related, like science, secrets, helping people transform themselves or transforming items/property, or in finance.

3rd House in Scorpio
You believe strongly in what you think and say, your opinions and beliefs, and won’t budge from your position. You can dominate other people, are intense in your communications, and overwhelm others. Words can help you transform in life, or you can use your words to help transform others. You’re researching and won’t stop digging into something until you’ve gotten to the core. When something interests you, you can become obsessed with it. You can be too judgmental, and may feel that people should do whatever you tell them to.

4th House in Scorpio
You’re private about family matters, keeping the affairs of your family to yourself. If anyone attacks your family, you’re there immediately to defend them, and are very protective and loyal. You may be a dominant personality in your family, or try to force what you want on them. You can create a home that’s luxurious and a place for you to escape to as you get older.

5th House in Scorpio
You’re interested in getting to the heart of subjects and people, and prefer hobbies where you can do research and figure out mysteries. Science can be of interest. Whatever your hobbies are, you can get obsessed with them at times. In love, too often you want to change your partner, and are overly emotional or possessive. You need a cooler head. You’re protective of your children, but can have a hard time letting them go.

6th House in Scorpio
You’re serious about your work, and can become obsessed with it at times. You may be too intense for coworkers to deal with, and can work best on your own. When you’re emotionally and mentally drained, it leads to health problems for you. You can have issues with your reproductive health. With Scorpio here, you can do work in science, research, or in finance.

7th House in Scorpio
You want a partner who is powerful and strong, not someone you can control. You need to have a partner in life, and will do what it takes to have that. In a relationship, you can struggle over power and control with your partner, and need to work on treating them like an equal. You’re loyal to them, and you believe that having a successful relationship is one of the keys to a happy life.

8th House in Scorpio
You’re secretive when it comes to your handling of joint finances and investing, and this can get you into trouble. You need to be more open with your feelings about other people. You can transform many times throughout your life, and when everyone thinks you’re down for good, you get right back up.
