What is a Scorpio?

Scorpio: the eighth sign to appear in the zodiac calendar and the only fixed water sign. Scorpio season starts October 23rd and lasts till November 21st every year before it transitions into Sagittarius. It’s ruled over by the planet Pluto and Mars.

Scorpios are described as being stealthy and secretive. They skillfully collect their own and others’ secrets and have a habit of hiding their true self or intentions from people till they feel more inclined to do so. Scorpios are like the spies of the zodiac, constantly seeking out the truth of the matter. They keep quiet a lot of the time, listening to the people around them and learning as much as they can. 

They are very skilled in the emotional, psychological, and physical realms of understanding, making them good at psychoanalyzing people and situations. This makes them good candidates for careers such as psychiatrist, psychologist, or detective

Representations of Scorpios

Scorpios animal representation is the scorpian. Scorpians are small, quiet insects who do not actively pursue their prey as other predators might. They would much rather trick their prey into coming to them over track it down and attack. It’s an animal that believes in the power of patience, which is a very Scorpio-like quality. 

Scorpios, like many zodiacs, are also represented by flowers. Specifically chrysanthemums, geraniums, and rhododendron.
