Scorpio (October 23 – November 21)
One of the most misunderstood zodiac signs is Scorpio. Scorpio is sometimes misclassified as a fire sign because of its fiery disposition. As a water sign, Scorpio draws its power from the subconscious and emotional realms. Intuitive and clairvoyant, Scorpio shares these traits with fellow water signs Cancer and Pisces.

This water sign is distinguished by its poisonous bite. Just like their astrological totem animal, the scorpion, Scorpios are masters of surprise. These analytical water signs see life as a game of chess and are always planning many moves ahead to set up the perfect checkmate. Just because they have this trait doesn’t imply they are bad people. Scorpios are focused on their goals and are willing to put in the time and effort necessary to achieve them.

They are mysterious and alluring because they never reveal their hand. The genitalia are under Scorpio’s jurisdiction, making it the sign most strongly connected with sexuality. For these sexually-aware scorpions, sex is about more than just pleasure. They want for the sensual proximity, intellectual stimulation, and emotional connection that sexual activity may provide.

Pluto, the planet of change and destruction, is the ruler of the Scorpio zodiac sign. Scorpion vitality, on a good day, is ambitious and alluring. However, when Scorpio feels down in the dumps, their dark side is driven by an insatiable need to be in charge. Scorpios with an unhealthy obsession with authority should keep in mind that they might unintentionally poison themselves if they let their egos take the wheel. When this sign channels its natural ferocity into genuine bonds with loved ones, it shines. When people trust a Scorpio, their compassion, depth of thought, and dedication shine a light into the deepest parts of their mysterious mind.
