Star Signs

Are you a true Scorpio?

Characteristics:

Unfortunately, Scorpios have a bad reputation and are often talked about for their jealous, vengeful streaks.
Whilst outwardly calm, they tend to have infinite stores of emotional energy that can easily erupt, or lead to obsession over something.
On a positive note, this energy and zest can lead to a determined and forceful approach to life, which will bring results.
Scorpios are also known for their sexual magnetism, and compatibility in a physical relationship is highly important to those born under this sign.

Compatibility:

With a water sign such as Scorpio having great depth of feeling, combining it with another water sign (Pisces, Scorpio, or Cancer) can have a very positive effect, and almost lead to telepathy between the two.
Earth signs also have a positive relationship with water signs.
Earth can provide the security and foundation on which a Scorpion can live their lives.
Air and water have no real use for each other, and can often clash, while water would just put out the flame of the fire.

"The Scorpion creates natures ardent for an argument, and a spirit which rejoices in it." (Manilius, 1st Century).

As an animal, the Scorpion has a mighty sting in its tail, and the same can be said of those born under the Scorpio sign, who have been know to attack with vengeance.
This is perhaps the strongest imagery associated with the symbol. Classical mythology, dating back to the time when the constellation Scorpio was named, also mentions a Scorpion as a symbol.
Among the myths are references to the warrior Scorpion and his slaying of Orion, and the appearance of Scorpion like men on Babylonian boundary stones.
