Sultry Scorpio often gets a bad rap as the most sinister sign of the zodiac. True, you keep yourself to yourself and seem to know more than you should, but that's because you're so deeply intuitive that you sense information that more extrovert types miss. Your sign is connected with dark, underground places thanks to your ruler, Pluto, and that's where your love of life's mystery stems from. You are an enigma, and someone who's not afraid to speak the truth even if it hurts. That said, the person you often hurt most is yourself like your symbol the scorpion which can sting itself to death. Your sign is about regeneration though, so you can be at your darkest depths but then see the light and reinvent yourself. You love extremes and hate to be idle (as a determined Fixed sign), and your interests in sex and the mysterious side of life make you extremely magnetic to others. Beware of jealousy in relationships and try to find a partner who will appreciate that you need time to yourself.
