* The day may vary each year, depending on when the Sun enters the sign.
Summary of the qualities and defects of Scorpio
Its important qualities:
• Very magnetic, something strong emanates from him and that attracts some people.
• He is totally whole and devoted (until death) to his partner for whom he will fight body and soul.
• Sexuality occupies an important part. He needs relationships that stoke the fire and that allow full communion of soul and body.
Its major flaws:
• Very possessive, he cannot stand when someone tries to come into his privacy (couple).
• He's to the endian, so he can love as much as he hate the object of his love. There is a fine line between the two.
• May doubt the other person's feelings, will need constant reassurance as he or she has a tendency to view things on the wrong side sometimes.
What does “being in love” mean to a Scorpio?
When you're in love, you know it, because it comes from the bottom of your guts! There is nothing that can stop you from thinking about the person, you are literally consumed. Everything pushes you to want to be in her presence and you only expect one thing: that she offers herself entirely to you. Love is like all areas of my existence, I live it fully. Being in love is more intense than anything, you have a visceral need for the other and you are ready to give your life and your soul for him or her.
What are you looking for in a partner?
I like people who are themselves, in the sense that, like me, they don't care about expectations or the opinions of others. I can't stand lukewarm people, “pseudodiplomats” who will give you big smiles and murder you from behind! I love a person who will say what they think so much, even if their words may hurt me. At least things will be transparent. I appreciate that a partner has convictions, a life force that pushes him to surpass himself and, above all, I admit to appreciating people who are apparently calm, but who have in them a lot of strength and passion – as much as I have. This last point is very difficult to find.
Are you jealous, and how does it show?
I challenge any partner of a Scorpio to say that he has never been the victim of the latter's jealousy. It is obvious that I am jealous. Already, I always expect the worst, it's in my nature. I can't believe the eternal fairy tales – not even fairy tales at all. I find myself weak when I get attached to someone, I become vulnerable and I don't like it. I'm going to need, to compensate, to make sure that I was right to take such a risk – and I know it may make some people jump to read that I see love as a danger, but it is a fact. I will doubt and, even if I manage to trust after a while, there will always remain a suspicious background, because, worried, which will prevent me from being fully reassured. I ask more than reason, I observe with attention and I gnaw my blood …
Is loyalty important? And what does “being faithful” mean to you?
A couple does not mean anything without loyalty. For me, when we love, we are totally focused on the other and nothing can distract us from it. I do not forgive any prank. Either way, if there is infidelity, it will irreparably end the relationship, with no turning back possible. I am completely faithful as long as my heart beats for the person.
What is your opinion about marriage?
I find marriage quite hypocritical. Why would a piece of paper be more valuable than a promise made between two consenting people? And how does marriage guarantee that the couple will last for life? Nowadays people don't even believe in her connections anymore, you just have to see the number of divorces … I find it more like a masquerade made to fit into the mold of the self-righteous formatted to follow the herd. I will always try to live as soon as possible with the person I love, but we will not need to legally formalize the union.
Can you stay friends with an ex?
Usually no. I don't feel this need, if I'm no longer with it, something was wrong and I don't see why it would be better being "friends". There is no point in torturing yourself, I prefer to preserve myself from the past. I delineate things well, friendship has nothing to do with love, however old it is. Feelings can't be recycled with me!
Are you afraid of celibacy?
No why ? I take solitude well, at least I have peace! If I need company, I'll find it, but I don't feel like I'm missing out if I find myself single. I am very self-sufficient in the end.
