Mysterious, enigmatic, dangerous… How many myths exist around those born under this sign. Let’s figure out what is true in the description of Scorpio men and women.
According to Greek myths, a giant scorpion was sent by the goddess Gaia to kill the hunter Orion. Both of them were turned into constellations. The poet Arat attributed this act to Artemis and added: “When Scorpio rises in the east, Orion hastens to hide in the west.”
The zodiacal constellation Scorpio (lat. Scorpius) is located between Libra in the west and Sagittarius in the east entirely in the Milky Way, bordered by Ophiuchus in the north and Altar in the south. However, it is somewhat different from the astrological sign.
The Sun is in the constellation only from November 23 to 29, and then moves into the non-zodiacal constellation Ophiuchus. In astrology, Scorpio includes those who were born from October 23 to November 21.

Love and relationships
There is no more terrible force than a Scorpio in love. He is capable of demolishing all obstacles and turning life around (his own and others’). At this moment, emotions take over. What awaits your chosen one or chosen one is not just a swing, but a real roller coaster. On the one hand, Scorpio is ready to carry his partner in his arms and fulfill all his whims. He will surround him with care and love, and will share the most precious things. On the other hand, Scorpio is an incredible owner and jealous person who wants to hide his treasure from everyone. The affair with him will be emotional, but it is impossible to predict how it will end.
Sex
Many astrologers call Scorpio the sexiest sign of the zodiac for a reason. Sensual, relaxed, temperamental, as a rule, these are people with high libido. There are no prohibitions for them, they are not afraid to show their imagination and do not tolerate boredom.
Family and marriage
Scorpios are selective in choosing a partner and fully demonstrate this in choosing a companion or life partner. It is important for them to have a reliable person nearby who they can trust and who they can always rely on. They do not tolerate inconstancy and frivolity, and even innocent flirting can drive them crazy. Often it is Scorpios who become the leaders in a couple. They should learn to restrain their suspicion and vindictiveness so as not to destroy the marriage.
What kind of parents
Scorpios are usually very caring and loving parents, but they have difficulty expressing their feelings. They can be too strict, tough, hot-tempered and domineering. Scorpio parents set house rules and do not tolerate their violation. They should trust the child more and not suppress him.
Friendship
Scorpio can become your loyal friend or a dangerous enemy, depending on how you show yourself. He needs time to take a closer look at the person and bring him closer to himself, to begin to trust. Scorpios do not forgive betrayals and break off relationships without regret, without giving a second chance.
Interests and hobbies
Risk-takers, Scorpios often engage in extreme sports. Gym, boxing classes, parachute jumping, hiking in the mountains – this helps them let off steam and experience vivid experiences. Another way to throw out emotions is through creativity: playing musical instruments, painting, acting courses, clay modeling. They are also attracted to everything mystical, so you shouldn’t be surprised to find Tarot cards or runes at home in Scorpio.
Career and profession
Scorpios are not afraid of difficult tasks and challenges. At work, they try to express themselves to the maximum, achieve more, become the best. Thanks to their composure and determination, they often achieve success in the medical field, especially as surgeons, resuscitators, and pathologists. Among them there are also rescuers, military personnel, and athletes. Strong intuition and interest in the inner world pushes Scorpios into the field of psychology. They often try themselves as musicians, artists, writers, and actors.
Health
Possessing naturally good health, Scorpios can easily undermine it with constant overload, emotional and physical. They do not know what it means to take care of themselves and tend to work until exhaustion. The most vulnerable areas: throat, nose, skin, back, legs, large intestine, heart, circulatory and genitourinary systems.
Compatibility
Scorpio has the best compatibility with earth signs: Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn. With representatives of the native element of Water, Cancer and Pisces, he maintains neutrality, but with air and fire elements his compatibility is quite low.
Scorpio Man
Proud, courageous, powerful, self-confident and at the same time secretive. This mysterious man can be your most vivid memory or your worst nightmare. When he needs it, he will show all his ardor and passion and surround you with attention. But at the same time he will act guided by a cold mind.
Scorpio is a leader by nature. He is used to dominating and getting his way. Loves comfort and luxury. Does not tolerate attempts to change himself. Rarely makes compromises. Needs personal space. Not every woman is able to withstand his character.
Scorpio Woman
Femme fatale, femme fatale – this is how you can describe a Scorpio woman in a few words. Sexy, spectacular, mysterious, with powerful energy, she fascinates men, loves to be in the center of attention and always, even after many years of marriage, remains an unfinished book.
Self-confident, firm, independent, knows her worth. The Scorpio woman is not one of those who will look a man in the mouth or submit; she will not tolerate a partner who will try to suppress her or bend her under. She expects respect from her chosen one.
Scorpio Child
Strong character, independence and a certain mystery manifest themselves in Scorpios from childhood. Outwardly, such a child may seem quiet and calm, but at the same time he deeply and acutely experiences what is happening to him. Expressing emotions may be difficult for him. He is very attached to his parents and needs their love, even if he doesn’t show it. The Scorpio child has a fighting character, stubborn, courageous, and decisive. Quickly learns to manipulate. Holds grudges for a long time.
