Scorpio is intense. No two ways about it. They radiate charisma and magnetism even when they're not trying. They get what they via an unrelenting do or die approach. Step on the Scorpion and they will never forget it. They will plot and scheme until they get you back. Somehow. Someway. They have a reputation for being vengeful and they're secretive. They keep secrets because they think that they will get something out of it. They just don't believe in telling the enemy what they're up to, no matter how seemingly insignificant. Makes sense to me.

Now, some Scorpios are using the higher form of this energy. They use it to dredge up old garbage, hold it up to the light and reveal it for what it really is. They understand deep psychological probing. They use the regenerative power behind this sign for healing.
They make loyal friends and will give you their all if you've gotten under their skin.

Obsessive can also describe Scorpio's approach. They do not like to give up or in. It can be a useful approach when extreme measures are called for. Scary if you're the one on the receiving end of it. Shallow effects are not for the Scorpio. They can be quietly powerful and Scorpio's still waters run deep. Some are simply power hungry. Other Scorpios have a dire need to be in control. When we describe someone as being controlling, we are talking about the Scorpio energy. Scorpio is always aware of what it's doing. It rarely does anything without some kind of purpose behind the action. Scorpios can be jealous. They know how to undermine until you begin to lose a grip on whatever it is you have that they think they want. Highly evolved Scorpios use this energy to regenerate. They have the ability to hit the pits and rise up again renewed. Rebirth is a good Scorpio description. Is it any wonder why they make wonderful psychiatrists? The regenerative process is their gift. When wishy-washy won't do, enlist the aid of Scorpio.
