Ha, Ha Elsa P! You nailed us Scorps, which you also did in the other post about Scorps and secrecy, which I wrote a long comment for and then deleted because I felt too exposed! *sitting here laughing at myself for being such a chicken*

Great video! I have a number of Scorpio Sun friends but for whatever reason, have never dated a Scorp. My boyfriend has Scorpio rising/8th house Sun, however. I know what I’ve got that works for them – Mercury/Pluto.

Elsa, I just bought that exact same top on Saturday! So cute! (sorry to copy – my Sun/Uranus will make sure I never wear it to the same place as you ;) )

That’s so true. Almost every friend/partner I’ve had has a venus-pluto aspect and they do this. It feels like an initiation or something. I respect them though and avoid going anywhere ‘sacred’, and they do the same. That bit about control is also highly accurate. If you give an inch, they will take two, and continue to test you. I’m a cardinal type, so that bothers me as I also need to be in control. But when there is respect and both parties avoid crossing any lines, they make excellent friends/partners. Very loyal and caring, for life.

Scorp sun here. Have a lot of planets in the 6th house so wondering what kind of Scorp that makes me?

Anyway, bang on Elsa :-) The control for protection purposes is exactly right in my case. I’m extremely careful because it’s all about self-protection. So when someone likes to push up against that, I automatically label as lacking in character/boundaries/respect and basic human decency. And if they mess with me, I just walk away. If they don’t get why I’m walking away, it’s fine, just as long as they don’t follow.

Carrie, I feel the same way – could not have said it better myself.

Scorpio rising, sun conjunct mars/pluto. Once a relationship is over I do not want contact and I just won’t tolerate someone trying to dog me when its over. This also goes for stages in my life. I have a carefully chosen group of friends who travel with me through life but otherwise I feel like a snake who sheds its skin. When I am finished with that stage,learning that stuff etc I move on. I don’t like running into people from the past because I feel that I am not that person anymore. I like to move through layers of body and mind – FORWARD! I also have that thing where I let someone in according to when it feels right – I have to be control.

I remember the 3rd or 4th time I went out with one particular Scorpio, he took me to visit his sister afterwards. I couldn’t believe it! He even showed me family photos she had all around her kitchen. We are still friends 4 years later so, he obviously, decided I was ok, but it has been a rocky road of “tide in, tide out”.

“control for protection purposes”

That can be tricky turf sometimes. I have Capricorn and do it to an extent, and when both parties do it at the same time it can get complicated. No one wants to get hurt, so both people limit the energy they exchange, and it ends up making both even cagier than they were before. The only solution I’ve seen that works is a gesture of good will given over time, very, very slowly.

AnaBanana, my sister is a Capricorn and we have butted heads my entire life. Yet we both have dear friends of each other’s sign (I have lots of Cap friends, she naturally gravitates to Scorps). I’ve never understood it. And I did try the goodwill thing most of my young life. At 21, I had to stop because she just kept putting me down and I couldn’t take it anymore.

I don’t think I’ll ever understand her. It’s a shame because we’re so much alike and our other sister is now gone. It’s a shame and sad all the way around.

Carrie – that’s so interesting. My sister has Scorpio and we do the same. I can’t understand it either, lol. She has scorpio moon conjunct Pluto aspecting most her chart. I have capricorn moon square saturn aspecting most my chart. She says I’m not emotional enough, I say she’s overly sensitive, she gets jealous and demands, I get insecure and withdraw…
Lol, it would be funny if it weren’t painful. Maybe one day it will all work out ;)

Bella, are you my twin, separated at birth???????

I’m Scorpio Sun, Scorpio Rising, Aries moon.

I do not go back. PERIOD. I did it twice, once to an ex-husband and once to a class reunion.

Never again.

People often invite me back to places I’ve shed.

Nope, not going! Thanks for asking.

It literally gives me the shivers. And, it isn’t like I left with a bad taste in my mouth or left in a huff or anything like that, I’ve just finished with those times and places. It’s over. Dead to me except in lessons learned.

I hate seeing people I used to know out and about. GAAAA! I avoid one post office, because I used to know one of the workers, hate Walmart and it’s ilk. Too many chances to run into people I don’t care to ever see again. There’s a place I’d like to work at, but again, someone I used to know works there. I’ve even thought of calling them up to see if she’s retired yet, but don’t want my number to show up on caller id. Can I borrow someone’s phone? Yeah, folks this is how Scorps think. Excellent video Elsa.

Yep, Bella, I think we might be twins.

And, Elsa, you’re right, as a Scorp if there is something I can do for someone I’ll bend over backwards to do it. VOLUNTARILY. But, if someone has the audacity to tell me to do it? Ain’t gonna happen. No way. No how. (Yeah, cut off my nose to spite my face, I get it, but still, there have been people who’ve tried that crap and it’s spoiled something I was already planning to do, but I just can’t abide being told what to do.)

I often wonder if I can date a Scorpio. I don’t mean a Scorpio with some fire or air in their chart, but a Scorpio with Moon, Ascendant, Mars, Venus, or whatever in Scorpio.

I think they’d be too intense for me. I honestly don’t think they’d like my honest and open Sagittarian way. Hell, I don’t even think that they’d like me! I guess I’d prefer to date an Aries or Aquarius.

I *barely* survived a relationship with a Scorpio man (I’m an Aries woman) last year, and it was hell to go through. Including the break up :) He would be paranoid as hell, and constantly accuse me of not trusting him and invading his privacy (it is true that I went through his emails, lol). And he was controlling and manipulative with emotions, he would only put out when he was ‘in the mood’ (almost never, lol) and would make me feel guilty about everything I did. That whole relationship was like one big guilt trip and I never knew what I was doing wrong. The most indirect, secretive and paranoid creature I have ever met. Oh, and while he *was* intense, he was not that great in bed, despite being the ‘sign of sex and blah, blah, blah’.

Spot on! I have dated a few scorpios and they are way too much for me, definitely too intense.

How do you tell a Scorpio to do something – YOU DON’T! Right on! THIS IS SO TRUE! I wish you’d covered in your video a man who dates a Scorpio woman (I am a Scorpio). A man I recently dated wanted to try and break things off with me (still not sure why, no legitmate reason, just a bunch of lame excuses). I say “wanted to try” because he will not succeed. I think he is still trying – LOL. Now, what man in his right mind would break things off with a Scorpio woman? Seems this decision would do nothing for his manhood. And to the above post Corina, Scorpio IS the “sign of sex”. Best sex EVER. I know because many men have told me I am, and I have likewise been with Scorpio men who are. To all you men out there (especially Taurus): DO NOT BREAK UP WITH A SCORPIO, and do not TRY to control them – even with the silent treatment. Bad idea ;p

PS- How do I get my picture in the little box? Love your blog!

So true!
Reminds me of an ex who purposefully showed up at one of my intimate and few haunts after dumping me, ostentatiously strutting and also cooing at his *date*. I’m not sure he’d quite realized most everyone there were people I’d known for a long time… a few of them loyal friends. Thank God since I was heart broken stupid. I did not have to do or say a thing. I so love my loyal friends. :)

My father has Sun, Mercury and Venus in Scorpio, and I have several male familymembers with strong Scorpio. Maybe that’s why Scorpio is notably lacking from the charts of the men I’ve dated or even flirted with – even the Libras and Sagittariuses one would, based on pure statistics, expect to have some Scorpio in their charts.

I am a Taurus female with a Scorpio moon and have been dating a Scorpio for the past seven months. These last seven months have been a dramatic up and down emotional rollercoaster and I am ready to get off the ride but of course, he won’t let me. Seriously about to relocate to another state to TOTALLY be rid of him. I spend time with him because I do enjoy his company and we have fun (also easier than dealing with his emotional outbursts and arguing) but no longer desire a relationship with him. I have already begun to date someone else to move on more effectively. I love him but do NOT trust him as he has been caught twice cheating. I have invaded his “privacy” to find out and he is aware of it. He swears he loves me and wants to marry me and despite me saying it’s over, he still refers to us as a couple and discusses our so called future. I no longer argue and allow him to think what he wants but plan my escape as soon as I get another job. I feel bad but at this point, I just want peace!!!

hey guys, i found this post by way of googling information on how to breakup with a scorpio. i know this thread is old but i couldn’t help laughing at Lisa’s comment about not letting a dude breakup with her. i find it funny because as you can imagine i’ve been trying to shake a scorpio that i was seeing, many, many times. he’s even told me flat out “no” several times in the process. hilarious. kind of…

P.s. i’m currently giving mine the silent treatment. mainly because i don’t feel like being talked into a circle.

Sag Girl – I just saw your post. That is hilarious! I wonder how many people have tried to Google “how to break up with a Scorpio” ? Ha ha! My post was pretty drastic, but yeah. It happens across the board. Coincidentally, I was dating a Sag guy about 6 months ago. Heaven knows why he would want to break up with me, but he tried and tried, and silent treatment, and passive aggressive bs, none of it worked. To this day he still thinks he’s being sly, and has resorted to lying to his friends about me – which has more hurt him than helped him. Really, open honest communication is the only thing that works with a Scorpio (I told him this initially and he didn’t comply), or like you said, you will be talked into a circle. The Sag will have to give, eventually, and just be true to the facts. This Sag pursued me for 7 years, and then thinks that with the silent treatment, belittling me, and badmouthing me behind my back I will just go away. WRONG. The relationship was his creation, so its even more on him. Never cross (or try to break up with) a Scorpio! :P
