scorpio

The Scorpion is one intense little creature, with enough poison in its own tail to disable or kill a much larger opponent. But the problem with this kind of built-in biological weaponry is that it must be mastered in order to be used most effectively. You Scorpios can use your "stinger" for self-defense, using your powerful emotional awareness to render your opponent harmless. But there is a sexual component of poisonous tail also, and until Scorpio learns to control those strong urges, Scorpio may find yourself in uncomfortable situations.

Scorpio is the only sign that has three animal totems. First, there is the well-known Scorpion with its active tail. Second, as the Scorpio learns to master its passion and hold its instincts at bay, it changes into the Eagle. The Eagle has more perspective, for it flies high above the surface of circumstances, swooping down with its power only to kill prey for food. In its third form, the Scorpion becomes the always-peaceful dove. The real meaning of Scorpio is thus shown. Scorpio is about metamorphosis. Scorpios transform the painful poisons of possessive passion into a higher consciousness based on universal love.

The Scorpio motto might be "What is hidden is more interesting than what is obvious." You are the detectives of the zodiac. Your magnetic personality draws others to you.

But you can also be secretive yourself, for you learn early on that when you express everything, others may be scared by the power of your feelings. You desperately want to have someone to merge with your feelings, but can become cold and withdrawn when hurt in love. You have the magic to light up the dark, but sometimes you would benefit by looking at the positive side of things rather than going into the darkness at all.

Scorpio Greatest Strength: Your passion about your feelings

Scorpio Possible Weakness: Need for secrecy can be isolating

Intense, smoldering and secretive, a Scorpio woman is the definition of sex appeal. Your mysterious air makes men wonder, "What is she hiding?" And girlfriend, he's likely to become obsessed with finding out! Ruled by Pluto, planet of transformation, you take your guy to new heights and depths. You're constantly reinventing yourself, which keeps things fresh and interesting. And your bitchy edge shows him you're not to be messed with (a huge turn-on to most men).

Your soft exterior and inner toughness are a dynamite combination, and you're often drawn to the "dark side" of existence, which is why Scorpio Jodie Foster always takes those supernatural roles. If it's hidden from the public view, then it's in your natural realm. You can ferret out your man's private thoughts and psychoanalyze him in a way that's a bit scary but sexy, too. Cultivate your dangerous edge by parachuting out of planes or racing motorcycles together -- that'll raise his kundalini energy!

Scorpio's Most Compatible Signs:
Taurus
Cancer
Pisces
Virgo
Capricorn

You're one of the deeper -- and darker -- signs of the zodiac, Scorpio, and that's just the way you like it. More than others, you understand there is no happiness without pain. Nothing makes you crazier than someone telling you "smile!" or "cheer up!"

What to avoid: Game shows; cheerleading competitions; boy band concerts; half-full glasses; mysteries that have already been solved; direct sunlight; people who ask too many personal questions; dating someone with bad credit.

Your survival pack: Melancholy Britpop; black eyeliner; true crime novels; thunderstorms; "Six Feet Under' on DVD; a private savings account.

Intense, sexy, and mysterious, Scorpio treats clothes as tools for seduction. This sign loves the color black, but will also wear midnight blue or burgundy to indicate a cheerful mood. Every Scorpion has a favorite pair of black pants, and may buy several of the same type to rotate throughout the week. This sign also has a weakness for boots.

Your dream vehicle is something along the lines of either The Batmobile (kept in the cave beneath The Manor, and definitely not for public viewing) or a Bondmobile -- which means nothing less than a Maserati or an Alpha Romero will do. Here in the real world, a sports car is your first choice, but failing that, even if you're settling for something you really don't want, be sure it's black. Insist on that color -- for the interior, too -- and before you learn to love it, you'll be able to tolerate it.

a lot of things listed here are so not accurate.
