Opinions On Scorpios

phoenixRising here : )

Just wondering if you all would care to share your experiences with and opinions about Scorpios. My birthday is October 25th, so I am a Scorpio with Libra rising. I seem to get along very well with Libras, but I wonder what they think of me!

You thoughts?

sorry, that should read phoenix_rising.

Well, I typed a whole page of why I love you Scorps, and then I lost it. (Blew a fuse and it shut everything down.) Oh well, better than starting an electrical fire. It's an old farm house and doesn't like all the new appliances etc...Anyway I can't get my groove back again, so I'll leave it at that! You Scorps get all my admiration and respect and usually my love too!

Libra with alot of mystery!

Oh, damn! I hate when that happens! Especially when it's a really good post that you spent a long time writing! Well, thank you for the nice comments; I'm feelin' the love. (who knows what the other Libras will say...cringe) *LOL*

Hi Pheonix,
Its 210.50, the justice lover here!
What do i think of scorpios? Thats an interesting question...!
Ive had a bit of experience with them because for some reason i come across them quite a lot. Ive found there are some really ruthless ones (of which i wont have anything to do with), some sly, manipulative types and then there are the eagles, that fly above and are able to spread joy, healing and positivity. Unfortunately the later type are few and far between.
Speaking from personal experience, I have two scorpio friends i trust and a few aquaintences i wouldnt trust if my life depended on it.
Ive been hurt by a few (they have actually gone out of their way to hurt me, but they'll do it to anyone, they are just like that).
On a subjective level i find them fascinating as they are quite eccentric... anyone that can make me laugh is in like flynn.
Its like what you said in another post, the more evolved ones wont go out of their way to hurt you, i just wish they could all be like that. Sometimes i do things and i dont realise im hurting them but then its hard because you dont want to step around them and lost their respect.
Actually, you could answer a question for me...

Do scorpios respect honesty per se, even if it offends them?

PS. Your libra rising would soften you up a bit and over all i like scorpios, i just wish they would be a bit nicer sometimes!

I think it is only the scorps with libra rising that librans will get along very well with--all other scorps--there's trouble.

i used to date a scorp we got along real well then he played me so now i'll never date another scorp

Hey guys---thanks so much for contributing to this thread; your posts are very interesting to read!

210.50 (aka, the Justice lover): I completely get what you're saying, and you know, I really wish that some of my fellow Scorpios would be nicer too. You are right to keep at a distance the ruthless and harsh ones--nobody needs that toxicity in their life. But I am glad that you have enough experience with good Scorps to know that we're not all bad. I definitely tend to think that my Libra rising tempers me a WHOLE lot, in the way that even though I have that somewhat quick Scorpio temper, I strongly dislike confrontation, and rarely have confrontations with people. Also, I find myself to be tactful with others many times to a fault--which is certainly not a Scorpio trait! : ) Others usually describe me as very happy-go-lucky, outgoing and polite. Again, not often said of Scorpios. All of this is not to say that I'm not proud of being a Scorpio or that I don't have lots of Scorp qualities. I'm just saying that it's weird to me to see that I'm very different from most of the other Scorpios I've encountered in life! : )

To the woman who mentioned that she won't date a Scorpio man again: I can't exact;y fault you for that, what with your experience with one being negative. I don't think I would date a Pisces again. I'm sorry to hear he was a player! Good riddance!

Keep those posts coming everyone!

P.S: 66.121-- I think I may agree with you on that; I'm wondering how all the other Libras think. I've rarely seen a Libra/Scorpio best-of-friends thing, even rarer a Libra/Scorpio relationship.

I'd like to know myself if Scorpio's respect honesty which was the initial question from 210.50. The ONE (and only one) Scorpio that I am with is very blunt and honest himself, almost to a fault. BUT, do they in turn expect (& respect) the same from others? He also has this quirky habit of zipping up my blouse. I don't wear them low in the first place but apparently too low for him I guess. Strange. Sorry, I'm trailing off of the subject a bit

I am a scorpio woman involved with a libra guy. We do live far apart , but have become good friends , and he has come to visit me. We seem to get along very well. His good nature and light , airy attitude keeps me smiling and helps calm and sooth me. In turn , he likes my sexual intensity , and I too make him laugh. I know they say libra and scorpio will never work , and this is always in the back of my mind and it bothers me. Maybe we're both idealizing all this too much I don't know. All I do know is that he's wonderful and I'm glad he came into my life. I guess it helps that I keep jealousy and negative scorpio behavior in check because I am aware of how we can be. By letting go of these tendancies and going with the flow , I think it actually helped us to get closer. Oh well , I can go on and on ....anyway , is there any positive indications for a scorp/libra relationship ?

I think so! You can usually find out very quickly if it (the relationship/frienship is gonna gel or not!! I have a Scorpio guy friend and that's all it is so far! hehehehe... Anyways, I talk to him like a friend or a buddy; I tell him things that a woman wouldn't; I don't tell everything because I like to keep him guessing; we enjoy each others company and he has a wonderful sense of humor that clicks with my own sick mind! I like the depth of his emotions, and he and I both appreciate romance; I think he enjoys it even more than I do, if that's possible. Libra and Scorpio make a great couple. Scorpio comes after Libra astrologically speaking; therefore, Scorpio is the teacher in the relationship and Libra is the student. Libra benefits from Scorpios knowledge and abilities; Scorpio benifits from Libras applause and admiration, always the cheerleader for Scorpio! The sex department is like NO other, so I hear. Both enjoy experimentation.

Well, its 210.50 here again, the justice lover!
I dont see why a scorpio/libra relationship cant work, dont believe the press...
My grandparents are a tauruas/leo match and they are even less likely to work and they are still happily married with a huge family 60 years...

My sister is an aquarian and she is dating a taurus guy and they are suposed to be polar opposites.

My perfect match is supposed to be aquarius and while i had a good relationship with one once, it never really made me happy and the other one i dated since was a psycho.

I also know a taurus/gemini couple who are so in love and after 3 years are going to tie the knot.

A lot of the time as well, scorpio and their supposed perfect match pisces dont work out. I know several pisces who were burnt by scorpio and vice versa.

I think the thing is to go with the flow. You have to give things a go to see if they work. If they dont, there is always something else out there... I think it also depends on your other planets. I have my venus in virgo and i know that that dictates my love nature. I am fussy, sensitive, loyal and extremely subservient to my loved ones!
What i want in a partner/lover is a sense of honesty, integrity, independence, sense of humour (dry or ironic, its all funny), direction (i dont care if they own an ant farm as long as they LOVE it...) above all absolute loyalty. If they are all that then i dont care what sign they are!
I think the clash between libra and scorpio is the intellectual/emotional side. If you can get a scorpio that intellectualises things through and a libra who is intuitive then i dont see how it wont work.

To 205.188, sense of humour is one thing that gets me and i find scorpios have the best sense of humour (when its not at someone elses expense!). It is dry, cutting edge and just plain hilarius. I think they see the funny side to everything if its not them!!!

Pheonix, you must be the more 'evolved' type of scorpio (Im not pissing in your pocket!). The sting is okay if you are using it to achieve justice...!

PS. Im trying to think of a username. So far ive got 'libra girl', but maybe ill go with 'rough justice' or 'antigone'... Im not sure. Thats why ive kept 210.50 because the decision has to be the right decision!
Seeya all
🙂

Oh yeah,
How about the issue of scorpio and honesty when it comes to someone else dishing it out. Ive found they dish it out but cant take it... What do you guys think?
The justice lover.

I'm a Libra and I work for a scorpion--the third female scorpion this time and the feeling is that she is looking to replace me on my job. Words cannot describe the deep hurt I feel as well as the frustration and anger. She tends to be opinonated and judgemental and honestly I have to tell you, I didn't get a good feeling about assisting her when I first met her. She looked me over to check out my outfit--what does that tell you?? She has even made some unsavory anti-semetic and racial comments about jews and blacks. Well, she had some women call in for a job interview for MY position--what a DUMB move. Even the resumes keep coming in. I approached her about it three times--she keeps telling me "don't worry". What do you think??

I would get in her face ( nicely at first)! Scorpios don't respect people they can walk on. Let her see your iron fist in that velvet glove that Libras are known for. Scorpios dig forthrighness, moxie, intelligence and a little brown nosing wouldn't hurt either. I myself hate it when someone tries to kiss my ass; but a Scorpio, they think it is owed to them. I wouldn't go too over board. I'd get her alone; ask her where the hell you stand; tell her how much you contribute to the job. Maybe you could say to her--I took this job originally because i felt that your the type of boss I could respect(some reasons.) If things go your way, I'd would say-- Look, I will be loyal and work hard for you as long as it is done in return; otherwise, thanks for the job experience!

I'm a scorpio and have a Libra girlfriend. Her perception of me is a strong character etc etc blah blah.. the usual scorpio traits.
One thing they don't like is our controlling streak, however if you let your Libra express herself and do what she wants to do as in go out with friends, watch her stupid TV shows there great.. They usually put out too, Big Time!

Interesting subject, which is why i felt compelled to write about it. I'm a libra through and through, and my whole life is filled with Scorpios. My mother is a scorpio, my two best friends and my partner of 4 years. Each one of them have the same traits and yet i have a different relationship with each. I find that scorpio ladies tend to be very caring, too caring sometimes, loyal, dependable, and also confident in themselves. The chaps, however are much the same, do have a very caring loyal streak, but sometimes too possesive. I feel, although I love them all, that scorpios are very intense, they feel strongly about everything. This is not a bad thing but can be overwhelming sometimes for a libra, but the attentivness is amazing.
So in conclusion you have to love them, but i wouldn't cross them - and a couple of days away from them makes you love them more.

203- Nobody cares about your sex life. you ought to just keep it to yourself. Oh, yeah one other things. Scorpios can be nasty and cheap!!!

Nasty and cheap? Care to elaborate on that?

To the rest of you--this post is going really well, thanks for all your comments...it's interesting to hear about the diff. between male Scorpios & female Scorpios.

BTW, in case you Libras are wondering, we Scorps know that we can be overwhelming to you. That's why I personally like (most) Libras, because they make me laugh a lot and seem to enjoy lightening me up a bit! And they're good at it...the only thing I don't like is that I sometimes question their loyalty/devotion--but that could be paranoia. : )

Keep 'em coming...

-phoenix

P.S: Any Libras out there with Scorpio rising? I would love to hear your thoughts!

Sorry 206, about the nasty and cheap comments. It's just that my dad took me to lunch today, and wanted to know if a dollar was enough for the tip! All
the way home we had to have the windows open! That's why we never go anywhere with him. Guess what? He's a Scorpio!!!!

I dont mind hearing about other peoples sex lives, if they're willing to tell!!!
Yeah, my life has been occupied with scorpios too (Im not going to say 'filled' but Ive had my fair share!). My grandmother was a scorpio, my mum is a scorpio/saggi cusp and some of my friends are scorps. Yes, they can be overwhelming and sneaky but i just put them back in their box. I figure they must be hanging out with me for a reason and i think that reason is that they find me sweet (their words) and funny. They also tend to like my innocence although i have to be careful not to let them step on my toes. I like to give them a s*** stir sometimes just to liven them up a bit!
The male scorpio (friend) i have in my life, although a sticky nose and sometimes rude, has done wonders for me on a personal level. He has made me believe in myself again and has brought me out of my shell...
One thing i have found about scorpios is that they are very supportive regardless of how well or bad they are doing. This i find a credible quality. So every body has their good and bad points. Interesting topic of discussion, dont listen to what the books say 🙂
The justice lover.

PS. Even if a scorpio is in the gutter, they will still be rootin for ya if you are doing well in your life. This is a great quality and one which i wish i had. Sometimes when you're on top its all too easy to forget what it was like down the bottom...

I had a friend who gave me uncoditional support and i shat in her face. I regret my selfish actions and wish i could make it up to her.
The justice lover.

Well, you just summed up the good aspects of the Scorpio. They can be very compassionate and give unconditional love! Were talking about the mature evolved ones, right? Then there are the others, LOOK OUT! I'd say I would wait until they are at least in their late 40's maybe even older to hook up with one. They take decades to mellow out. Like good wine🙂
There maybe a few originals out there, but they are a rare as a canary diamond.
If you find one...boy, you are rich beyond belife!!!

The only Scorpio that I presently know WAS a very good social friend. We always enjoyed good conversations when I would run into him in the social scene.
Then one evening he invited me out to dinner the next weekend. I told him that I would like to go, but had tentative plans with family that weekend, which I did. He said just to let him know.
I called him on Friday night to let him know the family plans were a "go" and would not be available for the dinner date. He has barely spoken to me since. That has been at least a year ago. A memory like an elephant. This Scorp never forgets or forgives!

That's kind of weirdly extreme of him to hold that against you for so long...very odd I think.

In the long run, they are better than Leos!

Certainly better than leos, leos suck!!!

Hehe, goodness gracious...

I have to be honest, Leos sometimes suck, though I am dating a very nice one right now---I always seem to get involved with them and the problem I usually have there is a lack of honesty on their part. I do like that they're not afraid to fight though...: ) I've learned that if you make it clear what you expect from them, they are happy to oblige for the most part. They can be very warm and funny and social, but on the flip side they can be phony and self centered. Not that Scorpios are flawless, I fully admit we can suck too. We can make life very hard for people when we let that lower side of ourselves rule.

My intense scorpio the guy whom I "BUMP fuzzies" with is a bumbling ballerina who majored in theatre. Who portrays this SUPER blatant type of an your face, (TYPE A) kind of behavior yet, in who in complete contrast is SWEET as pie and asks me out to the movies and holds my hands the whole time. A polite baby talking teddy bear. I would have never guessed. ANd believe me as an ARies I can WAY match him, we are way past the MIND GAMEs, believe me I have had him walking on eggshells. For I am the mind master. ARIES ROCK!!! hahhahha HE is now putty in my hands.!

Super duper pooper!!! Can you tell me what bumping fizzies is? I am a little slow with the new jargon! I am still trying to learn ebonics...Someone finally told me what a scrub is...

Oh, yeah be really specific with the frizzie thing.

Libra who loves to learn!

Happy,

Where you been lately? Just wanted to say hey, and see how you're doin... YOU always make me laugh when you leave a message! Hope your doin GREAT!!!!

PEACE AND LOTS OF LAUGHS!!!
ANOTHER LIRBR (10/19)

205,
What IS a Scrub?

LOL...

"a scrub is a guy who thinks he's fly/
also known as a "BUSTA"/
always thinkin' bout what he wants/
just sits on his deadbeat ass/...(i could go on...LOL

phoenix

P.S. "Bumping Fuzzies"— oh lordy, that sounds icky....lol

But, "bumping fizzies" sounds alright...does that involve plopping and fizzing of any sort?

LOL!

phoenix

"Bumping fizzies" does have pleasant vibe to it! I believe you have started a new trend, Phoenix.
Then again, if it fizzies I might think twice before I tried it.

LOL! I think of that commercial for Alka seltzer...Plop, plop, fizz, fizz, oooh what a relief it is....
(remember the song?)

Were all nuts around here!!!!

Love it!

Peace and blessings to everyone

Sorry to have to bring the conversation back on track, but I am a Libra with Scorpio rising... My best friend in life is also a Scorpio, and we get along just fine. He and I go way back to high school days, and we're still ticking- (10 years ago). I think he's great- he's inteligent, straight forward, and yes, he can be sometimes evil- but he rarely ever done anything evil to me that I know about. In short, I wouldn't trade him for the world, but if he ever crosses me...
that'll be interesting for sure. I also display strong Scorpio tendencies. Whenever we lock horns... we both are usually quick on the draw, and very suspicious of the other's intentions. Usually, we battle it out gruesomely, and then both withdraw and get along. He knows that I respect him greatly, and in turn, he respects me, so we come back on the level and play nice until the next time- but our eyes are always pealed for anything out of the usual in the other. I think he's one of the best friends I have.

What an awesome friendship--that's the kind most people only WISH they had--where you can battle it out and feel fine doing so, and then come back and pick up where you left off. That's REAL, for sure. And rare, definitely. I've only had 1 or 2 friendships with fellow Scorps, and to be honest they sound very similar to what you just described. Suspicion gets a bad rap for us, don't you think? Because I feel that it's only wise to watch your own back--who else will do it for you? Born alone, die alone. Not to sound fatalistic or pessimistic or anything, but that's reality, no?

Susan: you crack me up!

"If it fizzes, I would think twice before I tried it."

I almost fell out of my chair laughing on that one! LOL!

P.S. Yes, we're all a little insane. Great quote by whom I can't recall: "Insanity--a perfectly rational adjustment to an insame world".

Alright there is an existentialist in the room. I AM THE ONE who "Bumps Fuzzies".....and believe me I don't just bump fuzzies with just anyone. They have to be a DYNAMIC bright and EXTRA yummy, and did I mention INTENSE and, ok....dripping with sex appeal. I inherently seek out Hot LIL SCOrpio's to satisfy my appetite. HEE HEE (snort )(snort).

oh My! LOL.

Nice to know you like us...REALLY like us!

phoenix : )

Thanks phoenix. He's been so good to me over the years... he's almost like my big brother, because he's always looking out for me, and in return, I do everything that I can to help him in life. He has my kidney if he needs it. I'll always be there for him.

Phoenix- I wish for you the best.

Well thank you, and I wish the best for you as well, it sounds like you're pretty close to having it! Yes, my male scorp friend was very big-brother-ish with me as well, we were very loyal to each other, but he liked to torture me by trying to make me jealous with his other g/friends, so I started to pull away from the friendship. Now he lives in Virginia, and I haven't talked to him in a long time, but if he's matured, I would love to be friends again.

love to ya,
phoenix
