October 23 - November 21

      The sign of the "Investigator".  No one is safe from the prying eyes of the Scorpio.  The intuitive nature of the Scorpio is designed to penetrate what others hold as their deepest secrets.  One way or another a Scorpio will find out what it wants to know. Only they may never show you their true feelings about what they have found.  Scorpio is subtle, persistent, and extremely determined in all its different facets.  A natural digger of facts, Scorpio always has ulterior motives that are not quite apparent on the surface.  Scorpios sometimes display powerful feelings and emotions outwardly but usually only in private.  Scorpios love mystery, and feel this is what keeps their relationships going.  They are loyal and passionate, but when things start to go wrong, they can really be quite unrelenting.   Very similar to Cancer, Scorpio's are extremely sensitive and emotional and love can be extremely overwhelming feeling for them.  Because of their deep feelings, Scorpio's tend to have extreme mood changes.  Scorpio is a powerful sign, and an extremely imaginative.  On occasion, their inner thoughts get the better of them and they create irrational stories which fuel their inner possessiveness. They tend to let their emotions build up, and release them all at once.  On the flip side however, Scorpio's are very caring and loving, and with the right partner, have extremely enduring relationships. 

Final Thoughts: Try to be more open when dealing with relationships.  Don't let your worries or emotions build up so much that you tend to drop a bomb on your partner.  It can really be hurtful.  Your intuitive nature can be a real benefit when working with the occult or spiritual realms.  Explore these areas to the fullest, and you will truly benefit from the experience.  Don't let your natural gifts go to waste.
