All about Scorpio

The eighth sign of the zodiac, Scorpios are known for their intensity, passion, and focus on achieving their goals. Initially reserved but fiercely passionate once you get them to open up, Scorpios can be some of your best friends – or worst enemies. With their friends, they’re a power couple, a lifetime bond that others are jealous of. If you betray or hurt them though, watch out. The Scorpio energy can be vengeful and obsessive around those who have wronged them.

With their dominant body part being the crotch, Scorpios have an intense sexual energy around them and are not afraid to show it. They enter life and friendships headfirst and if you can’t handle that, you may get hurt.

In pursuit of their goals, Scorpios are fearless and unstoppable. They accept their flaws and set them aside so that they can achieve their goals. With high self awareness, some Scorpios have a dark side filled with some of their hidden desires that rarely sees the light.
