The Scorpio sign: the most important characteristics in a row

Scorpios are sex-crazed creatures and want no strings attached: these are some of the more common assumptions about your sign. But what's the truth? Time for a basic lesson in astrology.

Scorpio characteristics - 'The deeper, the better

24 October - 22 November

Still waters, deep grounds - a phrase that is very much the Scorpio's domain. They are always on the lookout for depth, on all fronts: intense sex, deep conversations, bringing dark feelings to the surface, getting to the bottom of things, you name it. Scorpios are also sweet and sociable, so don't be put off by first impressions.

Youth

Scorpios have a poor sense of authority from a very young age. As a result, they tend to be more attuned to their mother than their father. You have to be careful with a Scorpio child from the very first steps, because they will run away before you know it. Scraped knees are no exception, but luckily this doesn't stop them from discovering the world. In later life, they want to get out of the house early and - like taking their first steps - explore the world. It is good to let them go, give them the freedom they need, without them becoming unguided projectiles.

Love and sex

When it comes to love and sex, Scorpio is there at an early age, which won't surprise you. In their younger years, Scorpios often fall for the charms of older partners or flings. Good to know before embarking on a relationship with a Scorpio: they are extremely jealous.

Cancer and Pisces can cope with this best, and they are only too eager to prove themselves sexually. Virgo can cause tremendous arguments, but also arouse the interest of the ambiguous Scorpio; the deeper the better also applies to arguments. The Leo can also be a good match, despite the jealousy of both parties. They know exactly how far they can go and what they have in common. This relationship stands or falls with the right communication.

Dealing with

Decisiveness and perseverance are of great importance to Scorpio, and people who fail to act or who have little ambition will be pushed aside. In-depth conversations are also a must, not only because Scorpios love them, but because otherwise annoyances pile up - which is bad for the nervous system.
