Scorpio at a Glance (October 23 to November 21)
If you’re interested in learning more about Scorpio compatibility, it can be useful to first look more closely at the sign itself. The more we understand the individual signs, the easier it is to navigate potential challenges and find common ground.
If you ever feel like a Scorpio man already knows what you’re about to say before you say it, or that a Scorpio woman can read your mind, you’re not alone. The Scorpio zodiac sign has an intuitive, emotional connection with the world around them, one that may even feel like it borders on the psychic. Magical or not, it’s more likely that Scorpio develops that iconic ability to read others by simply paying attention. This is a remarkably observant sign that can pick up on patterns of human behavior. Still, Scorpios are also skilled at listening and reading between the lines.
These qualities can be used for good… or not so good. Scorpios have a reputation for being powerful — and at times, manipulative. While Scorpio can use their ability to understand others to support and care for them, they can just as easily use it to get what they want from them. This sign is represented by the symbol of the Scorpion, after all. It’s not uncommon for Scorpios to bide their time and wait for an opportunity to sting. That’s not to say they mean to do harm (at least, not all the time). Scorpios just love a game of strategy. They’re patient and keep their cards very close to the vest, which means they often understand others around them much better than they allow themselves to be understood. It also means that Scorpios must be challenged, so all that strategy remains in good fun.
If you find that you or the Scorpio in your life seems extra sensual or drawn to intimacy, it’s for good reason; Scorpios are actually the sign of the zodiac that is most tied to sex and physicality. Not only is this sun sign ruled by the genitals, but it’s also drawn to the deeper connection and understanding that comes along with pleasure and intimacy.
Scorpios have fixed modalities, along with Taurus, Leo, and Aquarius. That means they thrive the most when comfortable and they aren’t likely to change their course or environment. The fixed signs can be stubborn, although this modality is also associated with sturdy and reliable traits.
Is Scorpio a Fire Sign?
Because of the intensity, sexuality, and passion often associated with Scorpios, it’s typical for them to get mistaken for fire signs. But in fact, Scorpios are water signs all the way. That’s why this sign is so intuitive and often associated with the mystical and the clairvoyant, just like Pisces and Cancer. Water signs are deeply connected to others around them. It also means they can be quite emotional — they are carrying the weight of the world on their shoulders, after all.
Water signs are associated with sentimentality, moodiness, and dreaming. They are often found between the real world and the fantasy, an imaginary world they create for themselves, and they can be quite content there. For water signs, it’s all about finding a balance between real and make-believe, between empathizing and setting boundaries to protect their hearts and peace of mind.
Scorpio and Scorpio in Friendship
There’s no denying that Scorpios can be a little bit intense and difficult to pin down. So does this sign do well when connected with another Scorpio as pals? The short answer is that they can. It’s just important to remember that Scorpios feel everything extremely strongly. They’re deeply tuned into their emotions and the emotions of the others around them, and that can mean a lot of feelings in a small space. They can also be extremely passionate people, which can lead to drama and intensity over everyday things.
On the best of days, this friendship can be supportive, caring, and full of love and loyalty. After all, no one understands the intense emotional needs of a Scorpio quite like another Scorpio. It’s also easier for them to get below the surface with one another than it might be for another sign to do the same, which means the friendship is more genuine and honest than others might be. That said, when this duo isn’t on their best behavior, they know all the smartest ways to hurt each other’s feelings, and they’re more than willing to bide their time in order to do just that. When two master chess players take to the board, there can be quite a lot of collateral damage.
That’s not to say a friendship between these two can’t work. It just may take a little time for two Scorpios to open up and trust each other, and it’s important that there’s a thread of open communication from the very start. With good balance, empathy, and care, this friendship can be very beautiful. Two heads — and hearts, even if they’re guarded — are better than one.
Scorpio and Scorpio in Love
When it comes to Scorpio-Scorpio relationships, you’ll likely be up against a lot of the similar challenges that a Scorpio-Scorpio friendship faces. Any jealousy that might have shown up in friendship is that much more extreme in romance and love, and it’s not uncommon for Scorpios couples to experience suspicion or possessiveness. Additionally, Scorpio loved ones are very autonomous. That means they’ll want abject loyalty from their partner but may struggle with their own; they crave a certain amount of freedom and alone time, at the end of the day. That’s not to say a Scorpio couple can’t make it work. They really, really can. It’s just that it will take some very delicate handling to make sure that everyone feels supported, understood, and respected.
While friendships and emotional connections between these two may take some time to develop, Scorpio sexual compatibility is off the charts from the start. It’s not unusual for two Scorpio partners to connect primarily over their sexual energy, at least at first. Every stage of this relationship and dynamic is fiery and exciting. But it’s really a matter of making sure that the emotional connection and mutual respect are still there when the bedroom fire finally starts to die down.
In addition to communication and compromise, it’s important for Scorpios in relationships to learn how to be honest with one another. They’re both going to want to keep secrets — Scorpio is a sign especially prone to secrecy as a form of self-preservation — which can lead to resentment or bitterness. Opening up to one another, being willing to be vulnerable, and taking the time to develop a connection beyond the physical are all ways that Scorpio love matches can make their bond last.
Scorpio-Scorpio Compatibility: In Conclusion
Scorpios are complex, passionate, and private signs that can be difficult to get close to. But those that are able to dig below the surface to discover the true individuals underneath will likely agree that it’s worth the trouble. That’s because Scorpios are smart, strategic, and deeply connected to human emotion and need. They can easily understand what you’re feeling, though what they choose to do with that knowledge will vary. It’s important for Scorpios to learn how to release some of their intensity and need to strategize, to actually let in others when it matters most.
These two are deeply passionate and sexual people, but there’s an emotional connection and desire below the surface that is worth fighting for — if both parties are willing to try. It’s not typically in a Scorpio’s personality to compromise, but they can definitely make an effort when it comes to the right person.
