Scorpio Traits

Scorpios have a mysterious and quiet nature and personality traits. They hold a lot in their minds that won’t verbalize unless they deem you trustworthy.

They are a mirror reflection of the representative scorpion – if you attack, they will hit you where it hurts.

Scorpios are ruled by Pluto, the planet of regeneration and rebirth. Many Scorpios feel their aim in life is to reach a higher plane of existence and understand themselves spiritually. They feel connected beyond the plane of the physical realm, and they’re able to see past the horizon.

They may not always catch the little details, but they always see the overriding plan. Instead of viewing losses as failures, they observe them as lessons that are part of their larger plan. 

Scorpios internally validate themselves better than a lot of other signs. Life is all about finding their purpose, and they like to see other people become self-aware of their own lives. Scorpios intend to reach a higher consciousness in their lifetime.

They also are a highly imaginative sign. They make great writers and storytellers. Their loving nature makes them value family and traditions.

Scorpios stick to their principles and morals. They prioritize their core values and look down upon others who make decisions that don’t follow a strict code. Though known for sitting in the shadows, the stinger zodiac secretly enjoys instigating drama.

They are natural psychologists who investigate their audience and analyze between the lines. Scorpios are adept at reading body language because they know their own well. 

Honesty is essential to this water sign. While Scorpio has the knowledge to manipulate if they choose, most like to speak the truth, seek truth, and embody the truth in all forms. They may be shy at first but quickly open up once you initiate a conversation with them.

Scorpio Personality

Before a Scorpio even speaks, you’re sure to notice them. They have a mysterious aura that grabs your attention when they enter a room.

Their presence captures the attention of all people but may lead to them being intimidated by their quietude. The eighth sign of the zodiac is twisty, deep, and has a dark side.

Scorpios often feel lonely because they believe no one understands them. They believe in a destiny they are meant to achieve in life. The planet Pluto can explain why they are often fascinated by paranormal activity and the underworld. 

They are dreamers and wishers. Living life to the absolute fullest is a must for them before they transcend to whatever lies beyond – whether it’s the pitch-black spirit world or pearly gates above. Either way, they’re very in tune and fascinated with what comes next.

They are likelier to turn on a documentary about serial killers than a comedy. They may have a fascination with cults and death and may even feel clairvoyance towards the ether world.

Scorpios are naturally magnetic and charming yet have an introverted nature to them. They are ambiverts by heart. Masking their emotions around others is how they protect their interior. This sign may entice others with their cool, calm, and collected exterior or the complexity behind their personality.

Scorpios are very transformative and like to switch up how they come across to others. They usually feel misunderstood, especially in large crowds. And they quickly bounce from being extroverted to very reserved. Oftentimes, they feel rejected by humanity. This is one of many reasons why they like to sit back and observe rather than speak.

First impressions are big to Scorpios, and they don’t give out second chances often. One of their pet peeves is being tracked, figured out, or put in a box.

Scorpios are much better listeners than talkers.

This zodiac sign is very independent. They feel strong relying on themselves alone. Scorpios are tough and can deal with difficult situations in life. They know how to get up when they fall because the rewards will be worth it if they keep moving forward.

Scorpios may try to mask their way throughout life, making it difficult for others to know their true nature. They may question their true nature on the inside. While heavily emotional, they will never show their tears to others. 

The tendency to overthink may also bury them in their thoughts. Opening up to other people is considered a weakness to Scorpios, even though they crave the intimacy that comes with it. This can leave them at a crossroads, with little direction to turn. When a relationship goes sour, they may blame others for pushing them away when they are the ones at fault.

A Scorpio’s loyalty to others can easily lead to destruction and vindictiveness. Once they have their eye on someone, they won’t let go. They feel jealous very easily of their partnerships and crushes.

A Scorpio’s thirst for power may hurt them. They are keen on plotting. They find themselves battling their ego in order not to make quick reactions or judgments. Suspicion and paranoia are familiar to every Scorpio. They enjoy being a loner, and once they sit in solitude, they create a cycle of pitying themselves.

At any moment, Scorpios always have an exit strategy. When they withdraw, they may seem cold, standoffish, or judgmental. They don’t have time for things they don’t care about and don’t care who knows. Their outwardly-appearing detachment can trigger others to stay clear.

Scorpios hold fierce grudges. Forgiveness is difficult, so they don’t give them second chances easily. They usually only give one shot to their loved ones. If there’s a second time, they may act kindly, but it’ll never be the same.
