The Constellation:

The Scorpius constellation is found in the southern sky, and is the 33rd constellation in size, occupying an area of 497 square degrees. Representing the scorpion, it is associated with the story of Orion in Greek mythology. The zodiac sign was first catalogued by the Greek astronomer Ptolemy in the 2nd century, though Scorpius itself predates the Greeks, and is one of the oldest constellations known. 

Scorpius contains four Messier objects - Messier 4, Messier 6, Messier 7 and Messier 80. It also contains 13 stars with known planets. The brightest star in the constellation is Antares, Alpha Scorpii, which is also one of the brightest stars in the sky. Neighbouring constellations include Ara, Corona Australis, Libra, Lupus, Norma, Ophiuchus and Sagittarius.

Personality Type: 

• Passionate, romantic and always want to show they care - loving the process of getting to know the ones they love, they’re also very intense, showering their lovers in attention, gifts and affection.
• Serious and relentless - If you give them a meaningful and positive purpose then they will throw themselves into it, and ensure that nothing gets in their way.
• Loyal, dedicated and understanding - There’s no better person to have on your side than a Scorpio, as they are fiercely protective and loyal to those they love.
• Curious about everything...EVERYTHING - Nothing scares a Scorpio off, and the more twisted, gory or disturbing it is, the better. Anything unresolved, mysterious or hidden draws them in, and they love finding out the answers.
• Brave and daring - Scorpios aren’t afraid of challenges in life, and situations that may seem crazy to a more conservative star sign, is just a normal day for the adventurous Scorpio.
• Faithful and compassionate - Scorpios follow their hearts more than anyone might ever expect, and they’re incredibly invested when it comes to their relationships. Strong, loving and devoted until the end, they ensure the ones they love know that they love them.
• Dominating - If you think that control freaks are bad, then you may want to avoid Scorpios when they’re on the warpath. Scorpios like to dominate any situation they find themselves in, and certainly don’t like to be dominated.

Scorpios In Love

Scorpios Demand Honesty

• Because they truly value honesty and are always honest with their partners, they expect the same in kind, and will call your bluff if you try to lie to them.
• They can take a joke and don’t have an issue with teasing, but they can quickly turn serious should they sense you are trying to mislead them.
• Their memory and attention to detail shows itself in the positive things they do for their partners. They would never take their partners for granted, so when you have a Scorpio partner, you know they have given you their heart.

Scorpios Demand Loyalty

• Because Scorpios in love are doting, faithful and protective, they have very high standards, and therefore, are less likely to forgive and forget than most star signs.
• Love, trust and honestly really turn a Scorpio on, and will make you work hard to gain that back should they still want you in their life should you hurt them.
• Scorpios are very articulate and great conversationalists, and therefore you know that with them, they’ll be open, honest and loyal to you.

Scorpios Love Privacy

• Scorpios are by no means solitary creatures, but they love being alone with their partners to truly express themselves and feel comfortable in their own shells.
• They prefer quiet dates where the conversation can run free and without interruption, instead of double or group dates that can take on a life of their own.
• Perfect private date ideas for Scorpios include quiet dinners, scenic drives and activities that are just for two.

How To Attract A Scorpio:

• Because Scorpios love a good mystery, master the ‘play hard to get’ technique and let him/her try to figure you out.
• Be honest and open about all of the things that excite and intrigue you, and don’t pretend to know about topics to gain favour. A Scorpio can always detect a liar.
• Never be afraid to speak your mind and display confidence in your voice when you talk. Scorpios are drawn to passion and honesty - it’s actually one of their biggest turn ons.
• Watch their back, and always have their side, but give them space when they ask for it.

Scorpios, Employment & Finance

Because Scorpios are great with problem-solving and creative tasks, they do well in management positions, taking a thorough approach to every task that comes their way. Their ability to focus with determination makes them very capable, as is their understanding that mixing business and friendship is not always the best way forward.

Their intelligence lends itself well to a variety of roles, including scientist, physician, researcher and detective, as well as psychologist. Their constant quest to understand the world makes them perfect for these positions, and this is shown in the respect they receive (or should receive) from their peers.

Unlike the lavish Leo, Scorpios know how to stick to a budget, and know that hard work can put themselves in a better financial situation. Money means security and a sense of freedom for them, allowing them to invest as and when they see fit.
