Scorpio Zodiac Sign Personality Traits and Characteristics in Astrology

The Scorpio sign is a masculine sign, with very dependable traits and characteristics. In relationships, a Scorpio male or female is true to their beloved but if they do choose to leave a man or woman, they leave for good. They are very seductive and have great charm and frequently dazzle with their radiant personality. However, they often have tendencies toward extremes. At their best, they are compassionate, devoted and possess great depth. They characteristically explore many of the feelings and personality traits that others avoid, as this is not a sign that fears the characteristics of the darker side of human existence.
On the shadow side, Scorpios are private, even secretive and can be obsessive, jealous or seek vengeance at their worst. They can also become overly fixated with power. They may hold grudges and become vindictive to the point of cruelty.
Professionally, Scorpios make excellent therapists, as they tune into and understand the crevices of the human mind, but you'll find them in every field of human endeavor. Naturally inquisitive and curious, they make excellent researchers. Magnetic in personality, they thrive in entertainment and politics.
These traits are frequently found in those with Scorpio rising or Scorpio moon in their natal chart as well.
