Scorpios are the most intense, profound, powerful characters in the zodiac. Even when they appear self-controlled and calm
there is a seething intensity of emotional energy under the placid exterior. They are like the volcano not far under the surface
of a calm sea, it may burst into eruption at any moment. But those of us who are particularly perceptive will be aware of
the harnessed aggression, the immense forcefulness, magnetic intensity, and often strangely hypnotic personality under the
tranquil, but watchful composure of Scorpio. In conventional social gatherings they are pleasant to be with, thoughtful in
conversation, dignified, and reserved, yet affable and courteous; they sometimes possess penetrating eyes which make their
shyer companions feel naked and defenseless before them.
In their everyday behavior they give the appearance of being withdrawn from the center of activity, yet those who know
them will recognize the watchfulness that is part of their character. They need great self-discipline, because they are able
to recognize the qualities in themselves that make them different from other humans, and to know their utterly conventional
natures can be used for great good, or great evil. Their tenacity and willpower are immense, their depth of character and
passionate conviction overwhelming, yet they are deeply sensitive and easily moved by their emotions. Their sensitivity, together
with a propensity for extreme likes and dislikes make them easily hurt, quick to detect insult or injury to themselves (often
when none is intended) and easily aroused to ferocious anger. This may express itself in such destructive speech or action
that they make lifelong enemies by their outspokenness, for they find it difficult not to be overly critical of anything or
anyone to whom they take a dislike.
Scorpio individuals are enigmatic, strong-willed, and passionate. People born under this sign are considered to be dynamic
and extreme in their opinions. Scorpios need a positive avenue of expression in career, love, and creative achievement or
their feelings turn inward, imprisoned, and at times even destructive. The positive aspect of Scorpio is their unswerving
dedication once their emotions are engaged. The Scorpio energy, drive, and endurance are legend. Above all, the Scorpio seeks
to give life a meaningful pattern, to find a deeper purpose. Controversially, Scorpios are ruthless enemies, they never forgive
an injury and will wait years to get even. Scorpio is a fierce competitor, though often they manage to conceal this from others.
Scorpios file away pieces of information, facts, names and don't hesitate to use what they know if the occasion arises. Astrologers
forget to emphasize how loving, generous, kind, loyal, even the gentle quality of a Scorpio. A Scorpio never forgets a kind
gesture and tries to repay it handsomely.
