Extremists
Yes Yes. Do not be fooled by appearances. For Scorpio there is no middle ground. It's either black or white, or all or nothing …

Cruel (despite themselves)
Cruel (despite themselves)
It is what it has to be a sign ruled by Pluto, the god of the dead. Scorpio has a natural inclination to cruelty. But, luckily, it is something that only wakes up when he is overdone or goes to the dark side …

Spiteful (if no one stops them)
Spiteful (if no one stops them)
Scorpio always likes to get away with it, and if they don't channel their low tolerance for failure as a child, they can fall into resentment and resentment. And it is that he never forgets the blows received thanks to the incredible memory that being a Water sign gives him, an element of memory among other characteristics.

Impulsively vengeful
Impulsively vengeful
When cornered and attacked, Scorpio's first impulse is to strike back, which is why it can be somewhat vindictive. But fortunately, as he matures, he can learn to channel his anger and contain this instinct, which is nothing more than a defensive reaction.

Somewhat Machiavellian
Somewhat Machiavellian
To begin with, it is a strong and determined sign, which is willing to make any sacrifice to achieve everything it sets its mind to (even succumb to the impulse to manipulate a little or use bad arts if necessary).

Potentially ruthless

And there is no obstacle that is worth when they are in mode "I want this and I want it now", they do not stop at anything or anyone.

Very suspicious
Very suspicious
To feel safe, Scorpio has to control absolutely everything. Reason why he is very observant and sooo suspicious.

Explosives often
Explosives often
Although at first it may seem very calm, the procession goes inside … Scorpion is like an espresso pot that hides boiling water inside. Normally, excess pressure is released through an exhaust valve. But when that is not possible for some reason, then it can explode in an exorbitant way to the surprise of its own and others.

Too sincere
Too sincere
If you are not ready to hear the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth, do not ask Scorpio because he will tell you directly and without anesthesia. The good part is that you will never have doubts that what she says she thinks it and vice versa.

Hermetic and reserved
Hermetic and reserved
It is their way of protecting themselves. They keep everything inside, jealously and safely.

Secretly sensitive
Secretly sensitive
Although they may seem cold and ruthless, deep down they are super sensitive. In fact, one of the reasons why they are hermetic and reserved is to hide the sensitivity that belonging to the element of Water gives them, since it makes them feel vulnerable.

Tending to self-boycott
Tending to self-boycott
Don't be surprised if you ever see him self-limiting or tied to chains that he has voluntarily put on. Scorpio's worst enemy is usually himself. Like the animal that represents it, it can destroy itself by injecting its own poison when it feels there is no way out.

Sexually unleashed
Sexually unleashed
In addition to being the sign of death and resurrection, Scorpio is the sign of sex, which is why its relationship with sexuality is most visceral. First of all, he uses sex as an escape route from his emotions (and that means that he doesn't have too many limits sometimes …)

Promiscuous and unfaithful
Promiscuous and unfaithful
And this visceral relationship with sexuality often makes him very promiscuous and unfaithful. Which does not prevent it from being one of the most loyal signs of all and that it can become as faithful as anyone when it is proposed.

Possessive (and jealous)
Possessive (and jealous)
Contradictory like few others, Scorpio can be as promiscuous and unfaithful on the one hand, as possessive and jealous on the other. When you don't feel safe around the person you are with, you begin to see the ghosts of infidelity everywhere.

Don't miss out on all the Scorpio articles.
If you have come across a Scorpio native (and have not yet been tempted to run away), do not miss everything we tell you about how he really is, with all his flaws and unspeakable secrets exposed.
Inclination to be Machiavellian and ruthless
There is a widespread myth that this intense and extreme sign is cruel, spiteful and vindictive, and the truth is that on certain occasions it can be …
Ruled by the planet Pluto –the god of the realm of the dead– and represented by the scorpion –the arachnid that is capable of self-harm when it feels cornered–, Scorpio is not exactly a little angel.
From the outset, it is a strong and determined sign that is willing to make any sacrifice to achieve everything it sets out to do. But if he is not taught to channel his energies well from a young age, he may succumb to the urge to use bad arts, or to ruthlessly rid himself of any obstacles that stand in his way. Reason why, sometimes, they call him Machiavellian or ruthless.
Victims of self-destruction
Additionally, you have a low tolerance for failure up front, which can lead to deep feelings of frustration when you can't get away with it, and even lead to spiteful attitudes and vindictive actions. Yes, Scorpio's first impulse when he feels injured is to respond by attacking …
However, the first thing to keep in mind is that it is a defensive reaction, and that its main victim, when it gets out of control, is usually not others but itself. Like the animal that represents it, it can destroy itself by injecting its own poison when it feels there is no way out.
Sign of death and resurrection
The positive part is that, in the same way that it is the sign of death, Scorpio is also the sign of resurrection and transformation, which is why it is also represented with the phoenix, the mythological animal that has the ability to be reborn. from their own ashes.
In this sense, Scorpio can adapt to any situation, however complicated it may be. As well as overcoming any tragedy and flying over problems with the appropriate distance so that they do not affect you or lead to aggressive or hasty actions.
Contradictory in the field of sexuality
Considering that, in addition to death and resurrection, Scorpio is the sign of sex, its relationship with sexuality is the most visceral.
Contradictory like few others , Scorpio can be very possessive and jealous on the one hand. And very promiscuous and unfaithful for the other. And, although it is one of the most loyal signs of all and can be very loyal, from the outset it uses sex as an escape route from its repressed emotions (and that means that it does not have too many limits sometimes …) .
