What does being a Scorpio mean?
Anyone who is born between October 23 and November 21 is a Scorpio. They belong in the water elements along with Cancer and Pisces.
Their ancient sign ruler is the planet Mars while their modern sign ruler is the planet Pluto.
Being the bravest among all the zodiacs, it comes as no surprise that their ancient sign ruler is Mars. A planet that is known for its aggression and powerful aura.
Needless to say, their zodiac symbol is obviously a scorpion, which is often the reason why they give ominous vibes to other people.
Like a scorpion, they become aggressive and leave a stinging effect on other people when provoked.
This water sign will stop at nothing just to get what they want. Most people viewed them as a type of person with an intense and harsh personality.
In reality, they are just determined and focused on their goals. Scorpios are generally passionate about everything that they do.
Scorpio traits
Now that we have provided you with a brief background about Scorpio, let us start discussing what makes this water sign the bravest out of all the zodiacs.
Being represented by a venomous creature like a scorpion, it is no wonder why Scorpios are strong-willed and can easily face their problems head-on. Their fearsome façade essentially wards off any threats along their way.
This water sign is often viewed as persistent and stubborn. They are willing to go the extra mile just to achieve their end goals and they would tirelessly fight for values and beliefs.
Generally, Scorpio’s are naturally selfless and their ambitions are mainly for the good of others. Even though they are often misunderstood, they are still considerate and only want the best for other people.
That being said, Scorpios are secretly a philanthropist and a charity worker.
Strengths
As with any water element, their resourcefulness and flexibility are their key strengths. Scorpios are clever and they can easily bounce back from any difficult situations.
Like a scorpion, they can withstand any harsh environment you put them through. With their hard outer shell, they are known to endure and live through several pains in their lifetime.
As a result, these painful experiences have molded them into becoming who they are now, the bravest and strongest among all the zodiacs.
That being said, they never back down from a fight. They would stop at nothing until they finally land a punch.
In Scorpio’s mind, it is better to try and fail than never try at all. So even though they are aware that their efforts are sometimes futile, it still would not stop them from trying and fighting.
Their brave and relentless personality are their core Scorpio traits. It is also what makes them even more stubborn and single-minded than other zodiacs.
Weakness
Their core Scorpio traits are the main source of their weakness.
Since they often never back down from any challenges, they sometimes deplete and misdirect their energy into unimportant matters. In turn, they get sidetracked and lose sight of their goals.
Their callousness and bravery sometimes lead them into dangerous situations as well. Given that they have a hard time saying no to others, they would sometimes be deceived and misled.
Another weakness of Scorpios is their secretive nature. They often feel sad and lonely because they internalized their problems.
Scorpios are very distrusting and doubtful of other people’s intentions so they have a hard time opening up even to their friends and family.
One of the reasons why they are so distrusting is that they tend to be resentful of others. On top of that, they find it difficult to let go of the past and their grudge.
So as a result, they just bottle up their emotions until it becomes too unbearable to handle.
Relationships
Scorpios connect with their partners on a deep emotional level. Moreover, they have a reputation for being too sentimental and, sometimes, controlling towards their partner.
Scorpios usually hang out with their fellow water signs, Cancer and Pisces, and attract opposite signs like Aries, Leo, and Sagittarius. They manifest and express their emotions differently so opposite signs often find them unique and attractive.
Scorpios are extremely loyal, compassionate, and persistent. With their cunning traits and playful words, they can easily win you over.
However, since Scorpio traits are generally viewed as strong and complex, it takes a while before their partner would truly understands them.
That being said, they have mastered the art of waiting when it comes to relationships. Scorpios are aware of their complex trait and personality, so they do not easily give up on their partners.
Given their assertive personality, Scorpios are extremely honest and straightforward. No matter how hurtful it is, they would always tell you the truth.
Likes
Given that Scorpios have a strong personality, they are attracted to laid-back and playful people.
With their intimidating façade, their everyday life is often dull and boring. That being the case, they are always on the lookout for new experiences and more adventures.
As much as possible, they like to be surrounded by easy-going people who have a good sense of humor.
Scorpios are quite simple and plain when it comes to relationships. Since they do not have many friends, they are easily pleased with their partners’ simple gestures.
Rather than doing extravagant gestures, they enjoy the little and simple things in life. They like to just hang out and spend time with the people they love the most.
In the end, Scorpio’s goal in a relationship is rather simple. They just want to be with someone they can rely on and someone who is willing to spend a lifetime with them.
Dislikes
Since they are known to exude a strong presence, they do not particularly like people who are passive and indifferent.
Scorpios are passionate and hardworking. So being indifferent towards them can make them feel like all their efforts are not valid and important.
Despite being used to disappointments, they are still not fond of unsolicited comments and criticisms. Whenever they hear or read negative feedback from others, they become filled with rage.
In addition, Scorpio also hates meddling with other peoples’ businesses. They are not the ones who would voluntarily meddle and help others.
Because from their perspective, they know that people often do not need help from others. Scorpios think that what people actually need is support and someone they can lean on, and not any external help from other people.
This water sign thinks critically and differently from the other zodiac signs so it is difficult to read and understand them sometimes.
What makes a Scorpio unique?
Besides being brave and relentless, Scorpios are also great in problem-solving and time management.
These Scorpio traits allowed them to excel in both their personal and professional life.
They are a complex and layered person. Despite giving off an intimidating vibe, Scorpios are kind and lovable on the inside.
What makes them extra special is that their Scorpio traits seem to be always on the opposite side of the spectrum; like being in both hot and cold situations.
For example, they look intimidating but they are also brave, they inefficiently allocate their energy but they are still relentless, they tend to be resentful but they are still generous, and so on.
These contrasting characteristics are in turn what makes them unique and fitting to the zodiac symbol of a scorpion.
Their biting sense of humor and bright personality with their partners truly represent their innate Scorpio traits.
They might be difficult to understand at first, but once you get to know them, you would realize that they are rather plain and simple.
Reactive
The sole reason why Scorpios are not fond of passive people is that they are the complete opposite.
Due to their diligence, Scorpios have become reactive and responsive in all types of situations.
When they are provoked, they would sometimes react strongly and aggressively towards others.
This, however, does not mean that Scorpios are hot headed and get easily fired up.
Their response is often fitting to the situation and, like any normal human being, they only react aggressively when provoked.
Unwavering
As we have pointed out several times, Scorpios are relentless and have an unwavering spirit. Once they put their mind into it, there is no stopping them.
These Scorpio traits make them unique because even though there is little to no chance that they would win, they would still put up a fight and would not be ashamed to lose to their opponents.
They would not hold back and would just simply go for it.
Despite facing many disappointments in their lifetime, they would still gladly accept any challenges and problems that come along their way.
Scorpios are not the ones who would easily back down without a fight.
Hopeful
One of the softest traits of Scorpios is their ambitions and optimism.
They always try to look for a silver lining even though they have a slim chance of succeeding.
Hope is what fuels them to be more brave and persistent. It keeps them together and prevents them from falling apart.
Since they seem to be always on the extreme sides, optimism and hopefulness are what keeps them going.
By looking at the silver lining, Scorpios are able to endure and live through several hardships in life.
For Scorpio, hope is their most prized asset and it is what keeps them motivated and inspired.
Reasons to love a Scorpio
Based on the above, loving a Scorpio is not always rainbows and butterflies.
However, embarking and taking on a journey with them might be the best decision you would ever make in your life.
As you journey with them to the unknown, you would see how beautiful a simple and plain life can be. You would learn to appreciate and be grateful for the little things in life.
When you wholeheartedly love a Scorpio, they would forever be devoted and loyal to you. They are even willing to go the extra mile just to protect you and make you happy.
All in all, there is so much more to them than meets the eye.
Once you break in their hard outer shell, you would realize just how loving and caring they are.
Complex and fascinating
As we have mentioned before, Scorpios are hard to read and understand.
But once you get to know them, you would realize how fascinating and mysterious they are.
Loving a Scorpio is both an entertaining and exciting journey. Everyday life with them is full of wonders and surprises.
Since they have always long for a partner and companion in life, they are willing to give their all when it comes to relationships.
