Scorpio
(October 23 - November 22)
Oh, Scorpio. Does anybody in the zodiac get a worse rap? In my humble opinion (spoke the Scorpio), no. Sure, we’re forceful. Yes, our eyes are penetrating, our gaze discerning. Sure, we’d rather have sex than food. But other than that, could you please stop generalizing?
Scorpio personalities, more so than with any other sign, are dependent upon the rest of their chart. The only common trait you can really name among Scorpios is intensity. If you have a Scorpio with a Pisces moon, you will have an intensely sensitive and artistic person. A Scorpio with an Aries moon might be intensely fun and judgmental. A Scorpio with a Taurus moon will almost certainly be intensely stubborn (a great resource for casting charts is www.adze.com - just saying).
Hannibal Lecter is Scorpionic in his obsession with life and death (the particular ways in which he manifests this obsession have nothing to do with the sign – at least, that’s what I tell myself). Penelope Cruz’s character in Vicky Cristina Barcelona is Scorpionic in her obsession with her ex-husband and her passion for life; Picasso was a Scorpio, and so was Grace Kelly. You’ve got the spectrum of personalities represented here, with one thing pulling them together: intensity.
Biggest Insult: Ha. You think you want to insult a Scorpio? Sure, you CAN - but why on earth would you ever want to open yourself up to the wrath that will inevitably follow?
Quickest Way to Get Scorpio into Bed: Stare at them. Be way too young or way too old for them. Wait.
Most Likely to: Surprise you by being pretty incredibly oversensitive.
Should Have Been Born: as Machiavelli. As Henry Kissinger. As anybody, pulling the strings behind the scenes, anywhere. In a position of (secret) power.
To Make Scorpio Forgive You: pray.
