Scorpios are the legendary lovers of the Zodiac. They are passionate, energetic, loyal and single-minded. They have x-ray eyes which can bewitch, hypnotise and see into your very soul. They are also possessive and can, if thwarted in their desires, become vengeful and withdrawn.

Scorpio man may appear calm and self-controlled, but beneath the surface seethes an intensity capable of scaring away many a potential partner. His powers of reasoning are impressive and he can probably give the object of his desire several dozen rational reasons why she should succumb to his charms.

Scorpio woman is mysterious, magnetic, proud and confident. She is the original femme fatale and invariably gets her man. However, if she feels she has been misled, mistreated or misused, she is quite likely to become viciously sarcastic, frigid and domineering.

Scorpios tend to be private people and seldom reveal all their secrets, even to their loved ones. Scorpio partners are more likely to express their love through treats or gifts rather than words. They are scrupulously honest. Ask a Scorpio if he or she likes your hairstyle or outfit only if you are prepared to hear the plain unadulterated truth. Yet, if times are hard, Scorpios will attend to your every need, nurse you tenderly if you are sick, pay off your debts if you are broke, defend you against all opposition. Love them, and they will love you, deeply, intensely and for ever.
