Scorpio is the Eighth House of the Western Zodiac.

Scorpios are the ‘passion players’ of the zodiac. They are emotional and deep-feeling. They are assertive, decisive, and seek the truth. This can lead to jealousy and distrust when Scorpios sense they are being lied to. You may think you can get away with a misdeed here and there, but not with a Scorpio.

Scorpios are resourceful, natural leaders. But they can keep their true natures hidden, which makes them seem distant – until they have cause for emotion, and then you may need to take cover. Still, they are loyal and protective of the people they love.

In relationships, Scorpios are sensual and passionate. They are intimate, and seek intimacy in their partners. Don’t be shy with a Scorpio. It doesn’t turn them on. What does turn them on? You may not want to find out.

When a Scorpio seeks an “opposites attract” relationship, a grounded Taurus will make them feel safe and loved. When seeking a “like-minded” relationship, a Scorpio will find a passionate, emotional match with a deep-feeling Cancer.
