Personality
History
This sign is ruled by the all powerful and seductive Scorpion. This is a sign of life, death, and resurrection. Always ready for anything, this zodiac sign’s history causes all to pause. There are several versions of the myth surrounding the Scorpio sign. The first deals with Orion wanting to kill a bull (Taurus). Gaia prevented Orion from doing so by sending a scorpion to sting and kill him. The second myth centers again around Orion; this time he told Artemis and her mother Leto that he will kill all the animals on earth. In response, they send a scorpion to sting and kill Orion. Zeus then places both Orion and the scorpion in the sky in order to remind everyone there are consequences.
No matter which myth you believe, the moral is still the same. Excessive pride or jealousy can result in consequences. Those who discredit the small should beware; they can be just as mighty and deadly.
Day to Day
Scorpio are the old souls of the Zodiac signs. Scorpio’s are full of intense emotions; their highs are very high, but in response, their lows are extremely low. Luckily for this zodiac sign, they can bounce back rather quickly from these depths. This is one of the most intense and focused signs, as well as one of the most misunderstood. The scorpions are mysterious and secretive by nature. They bring others to the shadowy, hidden places that we normally would not have the courage to visit.
Scorpio traits include being naturally charismatic. This is aided by their natural intuitiveness when it comes to the human mind. They present a cool, detached, and at times unemotional air but inside have tremendous power. This superbly intelligent zodiac sign can exhibit effortless charm. They are intelligent, perceptive, and cautious.
The Scorpio sign’s energy embraces the cycles of life. They continually transform and reinvent themselves to reach success. In fact, many say there are 4 incarnations of a Scorpio. The first is the venomous, possessive one that so many of us fear. The second is the slippery, charming yet deadly version. The third is the soaring eagle whose gaze sees all. The fourth and final incarnation is the Phoenix; it is ever burning and all seeing.
Scorpio’s focus on one subject to the extreme. They will not give up and can accomplish anything they try. This sign is zealous and driven by their own ambition. Their powers of observation are excellent, as are their memories. This scorpion can recall facts easily. This regularly comes in handy when they are trying to win arguments.

They have the ability to look through people and understand what lies at the core of even the most complicated personalities.
This sign will live life to the fullest and never remains idle. Their steely exterior hides their deep fear of possible failure. That being said, do not expect this sign to ever tattle on themselves. This is not a sign that will show its own weaknesses. They keep up a thick front in order to hide their inner emotions.They are also fiercely independent. This is not a social butterfly sign; rather this sign is perfectly suited to be on their own. Scorpio’s want to be in control. They want to know why, where, who- all details. They have a very scientific, thorough approach to all things.
