Introduction: Characteristics of Scorpio

Scorpios are often regarded as powerful, confident characters with a profound sense of application and leadership. Stern, austere, and sometimes even cruel, they make unforgettable figures that govern many aspects of life. In addition, Scorpios have a vast capacity for analytical thinking and cold calculations. When the dirty work needs to be done, Scorpios won’t back down.

Scorpios feel driven towards power and motivate those around them through respect and fear. A Scorpio’s intensity can sometimes be quite intimidating. While perhaps not the most friendly of persons on the outside, Scorpios do make valuable friends and passionate lovers.

If you are a Scorpio, beware of your own inclinations towards arrogance and try to listen to other people. Realize also that there are many other powerful people out there like you, who will do whatever it takes to reach the top.

Love

Sex is signified by the scorpion and as such Scorpios make passionate lovers. Although stern and critical, they have a tender side too and a genuine interest in relating to other people.
Scorpios should seek out other individuals like themselves but should try to avoid becoming the leader in relationships. Shared responsibility and shared decision making will be the biggest hurdles and the true test of the strength of a relationship.

Finance

Given the mental capacities of a Scorpio and their ability to make decisions without the blinders of emotion, Scorpios make great investors, particularly when large stakes are concerned. A thoughtful Scorpio will do well with handling other people’s money as well as their own and probably won’t freak out if things start going poorly.

Scorpios should consider maintaining investments in:

Large quantities of stocks at a moderate risk level
Businesses with high margins
Competitive industries such as technology and finance

Career

Scorpios are both leaders and intensive analyzers. Emotionally detached and yet continually interested, Scorpios are well suited for a variety of occupations such as:

Lawyer
Politician
CEO
Consultant

Compatible Signs

Scorpios typically work best with other people they see as equals, people they can compete with. Competition is their nature, but sometimes they prefer relating to other people with more of a demonstrative side.
