Scorpio has a powerful bonding instinct. The symbol is the Scorpion and is associated with the Element Water. The Scorpion symbol is no coincidence. They tend not to trust others, but if you get on the good side you can expect long term commitments. When someone forms a bond with Scorpio, it’s hard to dissolve. The Scorpion has its own agenda so don't try to manipulate them or they will vanish. They are very resourceful and cunning. They are the "I DESIRE" sign. Self-promoting is an agenda high on the Scorpion’s list. Sometimes they can become self-destructive but have the power to revive themselves. The Scorpion is a very complex sign. They tend to be a bit secretive but investigate at the same time. Scorpio is hard-working and will get the job done. They are very resourceful, observant of their surroundings and keep track of what you’re up to. Try not to cross a Scorpion or you might get stung. Vengeance can be swift and accurate. Try to hurt them and they get right back up. Scorpions possess high levels of self control, but can lose their temper and will explode when they do. Being a Water sign, Scorpions can be emotional but have a great poker face. Scorpions try not to show too much emotion, otherwise their agenda may shine through. Scorpio is a very hard worker and does it for the satisfaction. Don't try to push the Scorpion too hard or they will lash out. A Scorpion’s agenda is not easily manipulated. They learn early in life to negotiate for what they want. Their patience plays into this—when a Scorpio’s opponent tires, the Scorpio will make their move. The Scorpions may become ruthless and suspicious of others—and perhaps even vengeful. In their shining moments, Scorpio’s are very loyal (once you get on their good side) and possess powerful magnetism and show much self-control. They are quite loving once they put down their shield.
