Scorpio Personality Traits
Scorpio does nothing halfway. You tend to feel strongly, focus hard and see through small talk almost at once. You are private by nature and slow to trust, but once someone is in your circle, you will defend them to the end. You also have a gift for starting over after hard times.

Scorpio in Love
Scorpio wants depth, honesty and total trust. Casual flings rarely satisfy you. You fall hard once you feel safe, and you expect the same loyalty in return. Jealousy can creep in, so a partner who is open and consistent helps a Scorpio relax and show its tender side.
