Scorpio (October 23 - November 21) is one of the most misunderstood signs of the zodiac. Because of its incredible passion and power, Scorpio is often mistaken for a fire sign. In fact, Scorpio is a water sign that derives its strength from the psychic, emotional realm. Like its fellow water signs, Cancer and Pisces, Scorpio is extremely clairvoyant and intuitive.

What makes this water sign unique is its distinctive venomous sting. Like their celestial animal representation, the scorpion, Scorpios lie in wait and strike when least expected. Life is a game of chess for these calculating water signs, who are constantly plotting several steps ahead in order to orchestrate an eventual checkmate. This doesn't mean their intentions are necessarily nefarious. Scorpios simply know what they want and aren't afraid to work hard and play the long game to get it.

They never show their cards and their enigmatic nature is what makes them so seductive and beguiling. Scorpio is the sign most closely associated with sex: The part of the body that Scorpio governs is the genital area. Sex isn't solely about pleasure for these sensual scorpions. They also crave the physical closeness, spiritual illumination, and emotional intimacy sex can provide.

Scorpios are known for their intense passion, magnetic presence, and unyielding determination. Indeed, Scorpio celebrities like Katy Perry, Frank Ocean, Leonardo DiCaprio, Julia Roberts, Ryan Gosling, and Kendall Jenner embody the fierce and enigmatic qualities of this sign. As a water sign, Scorpios possess a deep emotional reservoir and an uncanny ability to read between the lines, making them masters of intuition and insight. This sign has a knack for creating an atmosphere charged with mystery and allure, often drawing people in with their piercing gaze and irresistible charisma. Their interests often dive into the depths of human experience, from psychology and the occult to transformative art and music. Scorpios' creative talents and profound emotional depth allow them to express themselves in ways that captivate and intrigue. Like, here we are, almost 10-years later, still waiting for the next Frank Ocean album. Classic Scorpio.

Scorpio is one of the water signs, the others being Cancer and Pisces.[3] It is a fixed, negative sign.[4] According to The Astrology Bible, Scorpio's colors are deep red, maroon, black, and brown.[5]

According to Greek mythology, its representation as a scorpion is related to the Greek legend of Orion and how a scorpion stung him to death (said to be why Orion sets as Scorpius rises in the sky). Another Greek myth recounts how a scorpion caused the horses of the Sun to bolt when they were being driven by the inexperienced youth Phaethon.[6]

Because of all of these traits, a Scorpio can seem intimidating and somewhat closed off to those who don't know them well. But what people don't realize is that even though Scorpio may seem brusque, as a water sign, they also are very in tune with their emotions, and sometimes may find themselves caught up in their feelings.

This leads to Scorpio's central conflict: Their feelings are what drives them and strengthens them, but their mutability can scare them and make them feel vulnerable and out of control. Because of this conflict, Scorpios, like their namesake, the scorpion, put up an outer shell and may seem prickly.

What Are Scorpios Like As Friends? A Scorpio friend will tell you like it is, whether you want to know or not. The good news: You never have to worry about where you stand with a Scorpio; they will let you know...

So many other signs spend valuable time and energy beating around the bush, desperately trying to find an approach that makes the fewest waves when it comes to confronting a conflict. Not Scorpio. Blessed with a deep sense of self, Scorpio is always able to say exactly what's on their mind, even if it's not what people want to hear. Scorpio is forthright and honest, and those two characteristics commandeer a ton of respect, both at home and at work.

Repeat after us: It's all right to cry. Scorpio tries to hard to seem tough that they sometimes cut off their vulnerable side entirely, seeming prickly, uncaring, and cold to outsiders. While expressing emotion is scary, learning how to do it is key for Scorpio, since presenting an "I don't care" veneer can only work for so long before it get's exhausting!

Their empathy. Also it may not seem this way at first glance, watchful Scorpio can read a room very quickly and can clue into how everyone else is feeling. Because of this, they can immediately tune into someone who needs TLC and often knows the right thing to say or do to change the mood or tener of a room when it needs to be changed.
