Scorpio Man: Love, Traits and More
So, you want a Scorpio man in your life. Are you sure? Because this is not a decision to be taken lightly! Hear me out: this is the most fiery, water zodiac sign! Did I lose you? No worries, you will understand exactly what I mean by the end of this article. So, stick with me, and let’s unveil your Scorpio man!
A Word About the Water Sign of Scorpio
The water sign of Scorpio is the eighth zodiac sign and one of the most intense signs. Scorpios are ruled by Pluto, the planet of transformation, but they are also co-rulled by Mars, which makes them very ambitious and action-oriented. Those born between October 23 and November 21 have their way with both words and actions. They know what they want in life and Scorpios tend to be unstoppable when they set their mind on something!
Just like the other water signs, Cancer and Pisces, Scorpios are very passionate and in touch with their emotions. They know how to listen to their intuition and have a mystery about them that gives them a captivating aura.
I like to say that Scorpios have two sides, even if their duality is not as obvious as it is for Gemini or Pisces. These natives can be your best friends or your worst enemies. And sometimes, the choice is not even up to you. They value honesty and loyalty in all their relationships and even more so in their intimate life. And they are not notorious for giving a second chance if you ever step on their dark side.
What is a Scorpio Man Attracted To?
A Scorpio man is fascinated by everything that is underneath the surface. To be the best match for such a guy you need to use all your skills and be ready to open up even more than you might be comfortable to. He is not the kind of guy to be impressed by shallow conversations.
This emotional water sign will want to unveil your emotional side too. And let’s not forget that Pluto is the planet of death and rebirth. So, he might want to know everything about you and make it his goal to heal your past traumas.
These guys love a challenge so the more mysterious you are, the better. He’s also attracted to stylish women and pays attention to every detail of their outfits. But no matter how good you look, it takes more than that to start a relationship with a Scorpio man.
Keep in mind that Scorpio men are incredibly profound, intense, and mysterious, and they need a similar energy next to them.
Scorpio Man Personality Traits
Intense: Scorpio is ruled by Pluto and Mars which gives him a higher level of intensity than you might find in other signs. He seems to want everything and he is not willing to settle for less. And this ambition applies in both his personal and professional life.
Passionate: Your Scorpio guy is very passionate and he puts his heart into everything he does. This passion transpires in his intimate life too, so expect some fascinating experiences in the bedroom.
Mysterious: Your Scorpio man might be extremely mysterious. He keeps his private life private and shares his thoughts and feelings only with his close friends and family.
Determined: a Scorpio man takes every challenge seriously and he is determined to win them all. Pluto and Mars highlight his ego and pride so he wants to be successful in everything he does.
Loyal: I dare to say that when a Scorpio man falls in love he is very loyal. But it takes profound emotions to unlock this type of commitment. If he just wants a fleeting affair, loyalty might not be in the cards.
Protective: He’s known for his protective nature. He will stand up for those he loves and go to great lengths to ensure their safety.
Resourceful: He seems to find a solution to every problem. A Scorpio man uses all his skills to fix a situation and he finds resources you didn’t even know he had
Sensitive: Despite his apparent introverted nature, the Scorpio man is very sensitive. He has a great capacity to process emotions and understand the world through his intuitive filter.
The Weaknesses of a Scorpio Man
Since no one is perfect in this world, your Scorpio man has his weaknesses. However, these shortcomings vary according to the other astrological placements in his chart. (This is why it is important to get his birth date and time and give them to me so we can create a complete map of his charming personality :))
First of all, your Scorpio prince charming might be a bit too jealous and possessive. And we will blame that on his ruler, Pluto. He can become insecure very fast and you might feel trapped by the time you see this side of him.
He is also very secretive and difficult to open up, while he expects you to do exactly the opposite. So, it might take you a while until you start to know him and understand his emotions.
Scorpio men tend to be very stubborn and stuck in their ways too. You will need very good arguments to show them a different life perspective. But the one weakness that concerns me about this native is their obsession with control. They love to be in control and can easily freak out when they are not. He might also go from one emotional extreme to another, which could be exhausting for you to manage.
And before I forget, note that they can be quite vengeful. They hold grudges like no other sign and will try to get them even if you ever do them wrong.
How Do You Tell a Scorpio Man Likes You?
This part is rather tricky. The bad news is that it won’t be easy to decipher his emotions, especially when it comes to you. But the good news is that there will be signs that he is interested in you.
If he likes you, he might establish intense eye contact. This can be both seductive and intimidating but he will do it nevertheless. It is like he aims to see straight into your soul. He will also be very interested in your life. Expect all types of questions, one more uncomfortable than the other. And be ready to answer them honestly because he is a human lie detector.
He might show a lot of passion and interest in your conversations and even act a bit jealous when other men pay you attention. Scorpio men are also very physical (remember I said they are co-rulled by Mars) so expect hugs or gentle touches which are also signals that he might want a stronger bond with you.
How to Attract a Scorpio Man
Now this is a difficult mission. But you can do it if you know what to expect and more importantly, what he expects. Here are some tips to get his attention and see where it goes from there!
Be Authentic and Confident
Authenticity and self-confidence are crucial in a relationship with a Scorpio. No one said that dating a Scorpio man is easy but if you remain true to yourself, he might make it easier. These guys appreciate people who own their nature and shine their light into the world with confidence.
Entertain Deep Conversations
Be ready to debate the most profound and complex topics because he is. If you run away from complex discussions, he will find another partner to converse with. So, speak your mind and know that as long as you remain genuine, you can’t go wrong. Ultimately, he is trying to see how you think and how you process complex information
Don’t Tell Him Everything
Whatever you do, don’t be an open book. You want to maintain the mystery for as long as possible. His curiosity fuels his attraction for you and he will want to spend more time with you to understand what you are about. And when you do share pieces about yourself, give them to him as a privilege, not a right.
Be Emotionally Intelligent
To establish an emotional connection with this guy, you need to show him that you are emotionally intelligent. Be intense and passionate but also show him that you can understand your own emotions. Interest in personal development and self-awareness is always a plus in the eyes of a Scorpio man. He expects you to be emotionally intelligent so you can understand his complex emotions.
Scorpio Man Compatibility
Scorpio Man and Aries Woman
The Aries woman is ruled by the God of War, Mars, which makes this connection even more interesting. Both these natives are intense and led by their passions. I’d expect this bond to be tumultuous but also very strong. But they both have very strong wills and I can only hope they fight for the same things. Because if they start fighting against each other, things can turn bad very quickly.
Scorpio Man and Taurus Woman
The connection between a Scorpio man and a Taurus woman can be very balanced. Taurus is one of the earth’s signs of the zodiac and can complete the energy of Scorpio beautifully. They are both very loyal and a Taurus woman can bring exactly the stability that a Scorpio man is lacking.
Scorpio Man and Gemini Woman
The only way I see a relationship between a Gemini woman and a Scorpio man resisting long-term is if the Gemini partner is evolved and emotionally mature. Gemini is a light-hearted sign that can appear childish at times. Even if they are ruled by Mercury, they might thrive in their social environment and be way too cheerful for their Scorpio partner who gets easily jealous. But if they are both committed, this connection can grow beautifully.
Scorpio Man and Cancer Woman
The match between Scorpio and Cancer is very solid. They are both water signs so there is a lot of mutual understanding in this couple. But they are also very emotional and passionate which might lead to overwhelming situations. They support each other and can form a great team if they have common life goals.
Scorpio Man and Leo Woman
Ouch! I’m tempted to say a straight no, from the get-go. Both the Leo and the Scorpio are intense, dramatic, prideful, and can be egotistic. That’s one too many similarities for my astrologer brain to encourage. They could make it work if they choose to cooperate and have common objectives. But I fear severe fiery clashes are to come in this couple.
Scorpio Man and Virgo Woman
Another great match is the one between Scorpio and Virgo. The Scorpio man is fascinated by the intelligence and stability of Virgo. And they complete each other in a very constructive way. Plus, this is just the right amount of passion that Virg might need in their life! They are also very loyal which can only help their relationship.
Scorpio Man and Libra Woman
This relationship can function if the Libra partner is ready to welcome Scorpio’s intensity. They don’t always see eye to eye on life matters but they can use these differences to work for them rather than against them. Mutual respect and open communication are crucial in this relationship.
Scorpio Man and Scorpio Woman
Two Scorpios in a relationship would be interesting, to say the least. They have a lot of things in common and can understand and support each other. But this connection has a high risk of conflicts and things can get out of hand fast. So, diplomacy is crucial!
Scorpio Man and Sagittarius Woman
The Scorpio man and the Sagittarius woman can have an intense sexual affair. But if they want a more complex relationship, they will need to balance their differences. The Sagittarius woman is more interested in fun, social life, and hedonistic pleasures. And the Scorpio man wants depth and meaningful experiences. They need to accept and try t understand each other for this relationship to withstand the test of time.
Scorpio Man and Capricorn Woman
A Scorpio man and a Capricorn woman can be a match made in heaven. They are both loyal, they want to reach their ambitions and create a great support system for each other. This type of relationship could become a life-long marriage.
Scorpio Man and Aquarius Woman
The detached Aquarius woman and the attached Scorpio man might not get along for too long. Do you see where I’m going with this? This match can work if the Aquarius person has Pluto in Scorpio or if they are willing to understand the intensity and profoundness of all those Scorpio emotions. But I’d say it takes a lot of work and effort for this to happen!
Scorpio Man and Pisces Woman
Another good match is between Pisces and Scorpio, as they are both water signs and can relate to each other. They are both very intuitive and spiritual and they share a high level of emotional intelligence. I’m tempted to say that a Scorpio man might be a bit too intense for a Pisces woman, but then I know they can influence and change each other a lot.
Final Thoughts
There you have it: Scorpio man: love, traits, and more! If you have your heart set on this fascinating guy, get ready to understand the complexity of life and the profoundness of human nature and you might have a chance with him. Remember that the other aspects in his chart are equally important and you should look at all of them if you want to understand him. Check his Mars and Venus placements, in particular, you’ll thank me later!
