Scorpio, with the symbol of 'The Scorpion', is one of
the three water signs of the zodiac. One of the first things that you
notice about Scorpios are their eyes; they will be very intense and
totally hypnotic. Infact, many people find it very difficult to stand
steady under a Scorpio's constant gaze. His eyes seem to be penetrating
your soul, knowing your deepest secrets and desires. The truth is, more
often than not, they are. Scorpios have a big ego. They know what they
are and what they are not. It doesn't matter what you think about them.
They are immune to both comments as well as compliments, because they
know whether they are right or wrong. A Scorpio has perfect control over
his emotions and he always retains his faultless poise. You will hardly
see his emotions being reflected on his face, whether it's a blush or a
flush. Infact, Scorpios deliberately practice a vacant look. The same
goes for their body posture also, you will hardly see them pacing around
in nervousness. However, behind this impeccable composure is their
torrid inner nature.
However, they will always try to probe you, your nature and your
motives. Fierce determination is a typical Scorpio personality trait. He
has a strong willpower and is not the one to accept defeat easily. The
characteristic profile of a Scorpio also tells us that he is honest, to
the point of hurting someone. If you have asked for his opinion, you
will get the brutal truth, without any sugar coating. He never gives
false compliments and does not know how to flatter. However, if he does
say something nice to you, be sure that it is truly sincere and is
coming straight from the heart.
If you ask a Scorpio for a favor, it will be either a simple 'Yes' or
'No', not something like 'I will try'. If he really likes you, he will
go out of the way to help you. You never have neutral feelings for a
Scorpio; you will either be amongst his dedicated admirers or malicious
enemies. However, no one challenges him openly, not even the most
spiteful enemy. Scorpios have this lingering charm around them and are
extremely sympathetic towards the sick or miserable. They are fearless
and can stand anything from physical pain to poverty.
They have complete confidence in themselves and know that they shall
pass through this also. A Scorpio is extremely loyal and will go to the
length of laying down his life for his loved ones. He has an
exceptionally good memory. He never forgets an act of benevolence and
always remembers to repay it. Similarly, a Scorpio also remembers any
pain caused to him, though the reaction may differ. An eagle will crush
the enemy; a scorpion will meticulously plan and demolish the enemy,
while the lizard will keep it inside him for years and may harm himself
in the process.
Scorpio loves to play with danger. At the same time, he is interested
in religion and curious about all the aspects of life as well as death.
If you are close to him, you will feel extremely protected and cared
for. He is also fiercely possessive of what he believes to be his. If a
Scorpio really wants to do something, it will never remain a dream
forever. He will find one or the other way to get what he wants. He is
very passionate about everything around, even his home. However, beneath
his tough exterior is a gentle heart that knows how to love and care.
