I know that being a Christian and reading things concerning horoscopes is a sin. But I am always drawn to how right they are. I don't mean that I read what my horoscope will be that day and totally make it happen by the choices I make. I mean when I read articles about how all Scorpios or Leos or whatever are alike. Usually these articles all have a list or lists of character traits. What amazes me is how much those are really true. Now they are true of me, but not of my husband who is a Capricorn, or of my Gemini or Capricorn daughter.

Here are some of my latest findings about my Scorpio self:

  • Controlled, cool exterior
  • Deeply intense, passionate, penetrating, and determined.
  • This sign will probe until they reach the truth.
  • May not speak volumes or show their emotions readily
  • Enormous amount of activity happening beneath the surface
  • Excellent leaders, the Scorpion is always aware
  • Resourceful
  • Sincerity and truth a must among friends.
  • Can take some time before really close bonds are formed, but once done, the Scorpion will remain dedicated and loyal.
  • Witty and intellectual, Scorpions prefer companions who are humorous and easygoing
  • Full of surprises, this sign will give you the shirt off their backs if that's what you need; yet, once they are crossed, there's no turning back
  • They feel deeply, and once hurt, it can be impossible to turn things around.
  • Commitment to family is strong and consistent with the Scorpion.
  • Exceptionally helpful in managing affairs, and they are excellent advocates when one is needed.
  • "I desire" is the key phrase for the Scorpion.
  • Fantastic at managing, solving, or creating.
  • Once the Scorpion sets their sights on a goal, there's no deterring this sign
  • Tasks that require a scientific, penetrating approach are always best
  • Strong ability to focus
  • Determination and strong management skills.
  • Not ones to worry about making friends on the job scene; rather, they prefer to see the task accomplished well
  • Careers as a scientist, doctor, investigator, navigator, detective, researcher, police officer, business manager, and psychologist all suit the mighty Scorpion.
  • Respect is an essential aspect of working for this sign. They need to respect their coworkers, while also feeling a sense of being respected by others
  • Disciplined enough to stick to a budget and unafraid of working as hard and as long as it takes puts the Scorpion in a good financial position.
  • Money means security and a sense of control, which is important to the Scorpion.
  • Incredibly passionate, the Scorpion takes intimacy seriously.
  • Partners need to be intelligent and honest. Much of the foreplay for this sign happens long before the bedroom through conversation and observation. Once in love, they are devoted and loyal to the death. But relationships can take some time. The Scorpion needs to build trust and respect for a potential mate slowly and thoroughly
  • The colors of choice for Scorpio are dark red to maroon.
  • Scorpio's star stone is the opal.
  • Scorpio's lucky numbers are 2, 7, and 9.
  • Compatibility - Scorpions are most compatible with Pisces and Cancer.
  • Opposite sign of Scorpio is Taurus
  • Best gifts for a Scorpio are sentimental choices, clothing (especially something sexy), and non-fiction books.
  • Likes: Truth, facts, flirtation, long-time friends
  • Dislikes: The superficial, flattery, shallow people, being taken advantage of
  • Natural sign of the Eighth House. This house focuses on sex, taxes, death and rebirth, a partner's resources, inheritance, and regeneration
  • Famous Scorpios: Carl Sagan, Jodie Foster, Indira Gandhi, Prince Charles and Grace Kelly
