Scorpio Personality Traits

Scorpio (October 23 - November 21)

Scorpio accesses his authentic self by celebrating his entire range emotional.

Scorpio, the second water sign of the zodiac, is activated through emotional intensity. Scorpio realizes that everything happens in two dimensions: our physical realities are always influenced by everything that is preparing beneath the surface.

Likewise, Scorpios access their higher vibrations when they are able to intertwine perfectly between the dark and the light. At the end of the day, Scorpio knows that sometimes in order to rebuild, things have to be destroyed. Scorpion energy is powerful; represents transformation and rebirth. Basically, Scorpio thrives when they can safely celebrate their full emotional range, encouraging others to embrace life`s incredible intricacies.

"Scorpios are prone to sudden stings, unexpected forceful change, and transformation, movement, and eruption," Toynbee says. As such, their identity is strong. Scorpios, mired in their dark power, leave a lasting impression. Some people don`tt match up with their sun sign, but let me tell you, people of this sign tend to skew in personality as definitively Scorpio.

1. Scorpios are determined, sometimes problematically so

When a sharp-eyed Scorpio puts their mind to getting to the top or seeing out any goal at hand, they achieve it and excel. Career-wise, you may not be the official HBIC, but there`s a good chance you have power within a creative division or hold a highly specialized title. You either dominate within your space, or you`re looking to seize the whole office. Just play fair, champ. According to Toynbee, Scorpios have a drive that might lead them to "crush any opposition and obstacles."

2. Scorpios are imaginative, intelligent, and have an independent mind

Scorpios are thought leaders who don`tt really give a damn if you follow them or not. Pablo Picasso was a Scorpio. You know Pablo Picasso, right? The guy who saw art of his era and was like, "Yeah, no…I`ll do a different thing and then people will follow my lead." That`s real big Scorpio energy at work.

Basically Scorpios aren`t married to the modes of the past, and that allows them to come up with fresh ideas and innovations. It doesn`t mean being at the helm of an artistic revolution for every person, but there`s certainly a good chance it`ll allow for some kind of personal autonomy over the understanding of what you earnestly like and prefer. Either way, though, I tend to believe whatever musings are going on in a Scorpio`s brain.

3. Scorpios are assertive—or forceful, depending on how you take it

For better or worse, Scorpios don`tt really register words like "no," and "you can`t." They can somehow get themselves and their friends into any event, no invitation required. And this makes being one of those friends great. Bouncer at the door? Not so much.
