What I find attractive....

Firstly I think alot of people actually doubt how *forcefully* attractive Scorpios are. It not something you can see in a photo usually, or even in person. IMO, you have to be a member of the opposite sex, and you have to actually be targeted by one of them in order to really grasp the severity of it. I always got along great with male scorps and saw nothing particularly attractive about them, though I thought they were amazingly talented/creative. When I met a female scorp my age though, I looked at her and could just instantly sense something about her. Her attraction transcended physical beauty; her eyes lit up like sparkling black pearls when she looked at me, her body instantly and instinctively molded into the most seductive posture. The magnetism and power coming through the eyes is indescribable. When our eyes locked, I've just never experienced a psychic intensity like that. It was like time would stop. I have really good intuition and am highly sensitive to others' emotions/motives (have both Moon & Mars trine Neptune), and the emotion conveyed when they think you're the one, is so heavy, I would literally and honestly describe it as a type of telepathic mind control. I think they project alot that you pick up and absorb. It makes perfect sense as much research points to the mind as being a type of field that extends beyond the physical body, scorps have such deep emotions to begin with, and as any telepath or paranormal researcher will tell you, the depth of emotion & passion greatly enhances almost all of the psychic abilities. Hence, 1) the water signs are really all psychic to some degree (was married to a Cancer who had precognitive dreams), 2) in telepathy experiments, closely bonded lovers with no training are able to get positive results even when isolated in electromagnetically shielded Farraday cages 3) mothers often have precogntive experiences before the death or injury of their children, etc. They use their intuition and sexuality to scrutinize you, test you, find your weaknesses, tempt you like you've never been tempted....If you can resist it, you will still remember it for the rest of your life. It'll steal a little bit of the passion you have for whoever you are with...

What else is attractive?

-instinctively knowing how to please you sexually, without having to be taught/told.
-they have the most seductive facial expressions
-their sarcasm is sexy as hell
-they are so cute with their little introverted reclusive OCD habits
-they have this whole evil sexy vibe (and everyone thinks being a little evil is sexy [e.g. the "bad boy" type appealing to women]), but also have a super sensitive vulnerable side which makes them even more attractive. If they were as cool and tough as the exterior lets on, they'd seem heartless.
-super creative/artistic people
-I like a woman that can hold her own in an argument with me, lose her temper every now and then in a passionate rage, and really have it all out - venting all that pent up/repressed garbage that festers in a relationship.
-I think when a Scorpio woman wants you badly, she wants you with such a greater desire than you've ever been wanted before, its just tremendously flattering. You value yourself more when you see how strong their desire is.

what's not attractive?...

-refusal to be vulnerable - probing you for weakness, but divulging none. I like people who are unashamedly real, especially about their own flaws and limitations.
-younger scorps espcially seem to view everything in terms of power
-some scorps seem to lack compassion, use people, etc. - seems to be a self-centeredness about alot of scorps
-while they may be sexually alluring and attractive - do you really want to give your heart to someone who has this much emotional impact on you? Seems safer to be with a less intense, less passionate sign. Alot of people say scorps are like a drug - intense highs, but painful lows. They seem to be ok with living like like that, but bulls I know want to live at peace.
-seems like they demand everything of you. It may bring out your best, but are they ever satisfied? Seems like they can get bored of you fairly easily - need to constantly excite them. Once I've shown a woman who I am, and she's into it, I just kinda hope she'll think of me *as* that, and I won't have to expend a bunch of energy re-establishing that over and over. And my Taurean loyalty is such that when I see a person at their best? I know that is who they are - that is who they have potential to be, and I am loyal to that image of them. I always *respect* them at that level, knowing they contain that within them. If someone does something extremely creative, I know they have that potential and even if they don't rise to it always or ever again, I respect them at that level, for as long as I know them
-they are a little too bold with all that staring and testing. Something almost disrespectful about probing a person like that - especially when they like their privacy so much.
-they seem to be almost at war with themselves and their own nature - like that is part of their plight. This feels like it kinda cuts you out of the picture....

more unattractive...

-Long-term, which is all most bulls really care about, how much can you really trust a scorpion? Or a snake? Or a dragon? Or any of the other scary creepy crawly creatures Astrologers have described the stages of this sign as? How can you even know what stage they are in? Half of them don't seem to know. Honestly, most astrologers say the scorp is LOYAL, but they will also most likely cheat during a long marriage, to test their powers, just indulge in passionate/exciting/forbidden/taboo sex outside of the routine, etc. Oh, but they're loyal because they won't leave you. Sorry, that isn't loyalty. Loyalty, as I intepret it - as a bull -, is where your wife gets into a car accident and loses her limbs, can't have sex ever again, and is covered in severe burns, and you still won't even consider looking at another woman longingly, because your love for her is that strong. If a Scorpio, is so power-hungery, and that sexually alluring to men, how in the world is she not going to test her powers on other men? Power corrupts. I just can't see trusting anyone with that. If I had it, I'd abuse it.

-Scorpio is said to be the *spiritual* sign. But is that occultic spirituality concieved in terms of paranormal ability? At the end of the day, who really cares about that? Real spirituality IMO is more along the lines of forgiveness, having the power *not* to retaliate, the power of vulnerability etc. I see these things as the ingredients of love (betw. man/woman and all people in general) - which I think is the greatest power in the cosmos, and scorps seem to struggle in these areas *moreso* than others. I was reading a very insightful astrology text the other night which was very much praising scorps, but also said that they are not so much about love as they are about what they conceive as power. And that some aspects of love are instinctively percieved as weakness to scorpios.

The only two bfs I ever had were Taurus, born 3 days apart...one May 3, the other May 6.

If I think about it, both relationships were kinda slow to start. One of them being me totally head-over-heels in love with him and waiting on him to make the decision to be with me. This went on for 6 months...he even went on to have another gf for a couple months before coming back to me and deciding I was the one. We stayed together, but ironically during one of the distant acts Taurus is known for, he went and did his own thing...and I had no choice but to do mine as well. For two weeks we were like strangers, but he sprang back with feelings stronger than before (I reckon it to be the "rubberband theory" that happened). Unfortunately for him, that two week break opened my eyes to a world without him and I liked it. In my defense, I was totally in love with him and saw no other man but him, and no one could compare to him in my eyes. All I wanted to do was love him completely and wholly, but I don't know what happened to me within those two weeks. A transformation I guess. In the end...I ended up being the one to break his heart.

The second Taurus was like a good male friend of mine for years. We were just friends and I never saw him in that light. Then one day we started flirting and he started to develop feelings...and I was wishy washy about it because I couldn't get the image of him being my friend outta my head...it was weird to think of him more than that. It was push and pull until I was finally able to just give in. It was a great relationship...we fought a lot, got back together, it was passionate, but he always seemed to be a little out of reach and a little more detached than I would have liked (I think it was his Gemini moon).

Personally, Taurus males from my experience were possessive and didn't hide it. But I kinda liked it...being possessed by a man. Things with my first Taurus got a little boring sometimes. Actually...while sex with both Tauruses were great...the moves would get predictable. However, their appetite always quenched my desires sexually...meaning they could always keep up. Lots of touching, kissing, fondling without ever having sex...it was great. Prolonged foreplay at its best.

They were both stubborn as hell. I loved that they spoke their mind and were honest about everything. I was always encouraged to be equally honest as well, which I loved. They both could get lazy and kinda self-indulgent. Sometimes I wished they had more ambition and more enthusiasm about things in life.

I currently have my eye on a Taurus now, however, I can't tell if he's interested or not...or if he just wants me a part of his harem :/ LOL It's frustrating haha.

Hahaha.....see what I mean? I think the signs define great relationship differently. And that two week transformation sounds like a bull's worst nightmare.

On the ambition thing, I feel ya....I'm just grazin....I only plow the fields cuz they make me....



LOL, I guess I should've separated those two statements! I didn't mean to sound that all the fighting and getting back together is what made it good. But it did make it interesting and it was never boring. I think you're right in that, Scorps can get bored without tension. That's just not with relationships...it's with life in general. I ALWAYS have to be put under some stress or challenged in someway...that's the only way I feel stimulated. Sad I know...

The two week break was MY worst nightmare in the beginning. I definitely didn't ask for it and didn't want it. He wanted his independence and I gave it to him. However, in the process of trying to cope with his disappearance, I was able to find my independence from him. Granted when he sprung back...it's not like I wasn't there with open arms because I was. The feelings just weren't the same anymore and he could tell after awhile. Things just went downhill from there....

I found a lot of security in my Tauruses. They make great bfs because they're very devoted, loyal, and a bit old-fashioned, which I love. However, us Scorps do like a little spiciness here and there 😉

It's funny because as a scorp the last thing I ever think of is 'power' though I really want to just be 'loved'. Perhaps subconsciously the lust for power is there and manifests itself somehow but it's definitely not a conscious thing for me.

I loved the feeling of loyalty from my taurus and the fact that I was able to love him selflessly and trust him implicitly (until recently at least). There was a period where it was all just easy and I guess it's true, in some ways that did scare me because I was afraid we'd get boring (that he'd bore of me) and I guess in some ways we did - we just became comfortable in each other - which is ultimately what I wanted but maybe it was his Gem Venus that started causing him to drift and me not wanting to cause any issue didn't address it then and there when my scorp intuition sensed it.

I think that for us scorps, we need to trust our instincts because at times mine get quite strong and are usually dead on in some scary way.

Do I think this pairing can work - yes, definitely though I can also see where they say it's not easy. I think both people need to be evolved and secure enough in themselves so that the communication is there rather than each trying to figure it out on their own so that they can truly be a team. That's all I ever wanted with my taurus, to be a team in the thing wholeheartedly together. Unfortunately it didn't turn out that way but we are both still learning the lessons from being together and what more can you ask for in someways - to learn and to grow.

hey scorpchick,

Very sorry to read how things are turning out with the bull on the other thread. Maintain a friendship though. Maybe he will come around. He needs to venture out on his own for sure...Venus in Gem can actually lack ambition and be freeloaders at times in their life.

You wrote:

>>>I'm sure it isn't for most scorps. And it may not be so blatant. It may manifest as a need to control, a reluctance to show weakness, etc. My scorp acts REALLY tough, so tough that it is intimidating. But I know it is overcompensating for a deep sensitivity and really a form of defense. I think most people, and most men in general, are inclined towards power and control. I think female scorps (though I wouldn't say they are masculine) are possibly more like men in this department. I've learned a ton about my self, and all sorts of subconscious stuff I was doing through interacting with the Scorpio. I confessed in another thread how I now see the games I was playing, and how power-hungry *I* was being. I felt the need to flex on her, like I was being challenged in ways. I don't have alot of time to write lately as my Sag has moved in but I still read the boards. On the scorp board and other scorp sites, I've come across statements from scorps like "When I was younger, if I really had strong feelings for a guy I would actually run from him - afraid of where my emotions would go." or something to that effect. Honestly, I was horrified when I read that. Really just felt like that is some real self-centered nonsense and dreaded ever getting stuck with a woman who would do such a thing. How could someone run from love? What about the other person and what they are feeling? You just leave them hanging when they're feeling that connection to? But then I realized this is exactly what I did with the Scorpio at work. I have never felt emotions even remotely as strong as I did with her and it was so terrifying. I ran out of fear of how bad it would hurt if she ultimately rejected me - self-defense. I did it out of pure instinct though, not something calculated so it didn't register as something *I* did. As has been said, I think the two signs have so much in common.

>>>>A bit of a sidetrack and rambling here, but I have feared *being* boring in a relationship for so long, only recently have I begun to explore the multitude of ways I actually get bored in a relationship. I find the common charge of bulls in general being boring to be really harsh/painful (not that you are saying this). But I also know that its got to be partly true at least from the perspective of some of the other signs. My first girlfriend (Cancer) said our relationship was boring as all we really did was just chill, eat, watch tv, and have sex. It came as a shock to me, as I really thought we had arrived. Hahahah...Anyway, I've long feared the label. I just wouldn't stir up emotional drama for excitement. I just kinda try to be a little more adventurous w/my partner, and stay into things I'm passionate about, so we have time apart, and appreciate the time together more. I do understand though; I've been realizing more and more that I need a spark, flirtation, stimulating conversation, all of that, and I was getting bored with my Sag. When I talked to her about it, she was able to adapt real well. I've been clear that I think Venus in Gem is a bad placement for a bull. The Taurean loyalty clashes with the kind of harem the Gem feels he needs for expression/feedback. And we are just as possessive and jealous as any other bull, but we know we are being hypocrites and have a double standard there. The _Astro Analysis_ series has a good book on Taurus, with a great section on Venus in Gem (be warned that series hates on scorps), which I'll type up here if I ever have time. But honestly, this should be one of the more dynamic placements Venus can fall into for a Taurus, one of the most communicative emotionally, sexually explorative, and *least* boring as far as intellectual matters are concerned.

@TaurusloveScorpio:

So are you not with a Scorpio right now?! You mentioned your Sag moving in, so I assume you're with one romantically.

You speak so highly of Scorps as if you're with one!

That also brings me to something else I'm curious about and was gonna post about. I'm a little perplexed by the attraction with Sag and Taurus, as I see this combo A LOT.

I get the Scorp/Taurus attraction because we're opposites. I also see a lot of Aries/Taurus, which I blame on the Venus/Mars ruling aspect of the signs. I can even understand Taurus/Cancer, but Taurus/Sag I don't get. Care to share your reasons as to why?!

Is this the best way to go - I'm thinking more along the lines of cutting him out - at least for now because otherwise things continue on 'mostly' the same and he has no chance to miss me... help here? I have told him that I don't know how to be his friend right now and that's something he hates more than anything (was it ever truly a friendship then to begin with thoughts) but he's confident we'll 'get back there' and who knows... I'm just wondering if he's ever going to (possibly) see me as something more is it through distance or through friendship?

To add to that... the past two days were the first two in the 7+ months that I've known him that we haven't communicated. I talked and saw him today and mentioned this and he said he knew - he remembered that fact too. I asked him if he missed talking to me and he said that he 'just distracted himself' instead. I'm going to take that as he didn't want to talk to me at this juncture but the fact that he noted it as well is interesting.

I have to agree with the above. I see Scorps do this a lot (I see mine doing this now)...I felt the same why as you TLS and it scaried the heck out of me...to let my guard down and truely give myself to him. But the more that has gone on between us the more it has made me look at myself and see that I am like that too. 😢 It's exactly what you say to feel so much for someone scaries me to death...the rejection would kill me! I too have Venus in Gem so if you could put up that info up on us from that book I would really love to read it! I am only know realizing how much that controls some of my actions and would love to learn more. 🙂

I agree with 87scorpio I think with all I have read on your thread scorpchick76 the best thing for now would be space. Once intimacy is in the picture it is to hard in the beginning to separate with just friendship. It will give you both time to reflect and you time to heal. Plus absence makes the heart grow fonder and I am sure that if the bull loves you he will make contact after awhile. I know for myself once I care for someone it is a lot harder then I let on to just let them go...they are still in my thoughts..

candyapples: So are you not with a Scorpio right now?! You mentioned your Sag moving in, so I assume you're with one romantically. You speak so highly of Scorps as if you're with one!

TLS: yeah, in a committed relationship w/a Sag. Need to change my name to just TLS, but don't know how. Grew up with very close scorp friends and a scorp dad. Never met a scorp female my age until recently, totally knocked me on my ass, came in here under a love spell and posted a bunch of embarrassing stuff on the board declaring my undying love, ranting about how every bull needs to go find themselves a Scorpio woman, etc. Then I read everywhere that Scorpios have this effect on people, particularly bulls. LOL...The whole experience actually got me back into areas of metaphysics (the paranormal, and astrology in particular) that I'd neglected for a while. Anyway, yeah, I don't physically cheat on anyone ever, so ultimately I couldn't pursue a romance with the scorp. My Sag is on her way home, so I've actually got to run, but I will try to post on the attraction to Sags. I think they're a great sign, and just really easy (particularly with her placements); its not this intense psychic connection (nowhere near the connection with the scorp really), but I think there are different types of love. Some are steady and comforting as opposed to obsessively passionate, and can be amazing in different ways. Would I rather plumb the murky depths with my scorp than have fun with my Sag? Yeah, a huge part of me would and dealing with that now is a major challenge, but it wasn't in the stars - bad timing for that angle. There's that saying - "love the one you're with". I've said a few times - I think Scorps are always looking for "the one" who they can be loyal to, and they are more loyal to that concept. I'm loyal (physically at least) to the woman I've committed to, even if they fall short of the ideal "one", who may not exist, or a recent connection I've felt. I will not abandon anyone I've committed myself to ever, even if my heart is being pulled really strongly (which it has been).

Sugerbear- sure thing. I will make a new thread on it when time permits. Its not really positive though, lol...but to everything u said, yeah, like looking in a mirror....and as one book on sign compatibility said, the signs admire (or even envy) and are completed by some of the dissimilar traits. I know I envy her outward show of control and confidence. The way she carries herself, controls her facial expressions when i know the emotions are so strong and churning so violently inside. Just that alone signifies such internal strength to me, its amazing. And to be able to wear a mask over that of her choosing....wow. Its hard to know what she can see in me as i definitely dont have any outward display of confidence. But I do have alot of inward confidence, know who I am, am at peace with myself most of the time etc. I think maybe scorps are attracted to this solidity and groundedness of the bulls. They are all about inner transformation so i think they feed off that energy and it calms them (have read this on some of the posts here from scorps who date bulls too).

Its interesting to see so many scorpio - taurus topics raised on our board lately. How well these two signs could work out? What qualities do they find attractive and not that attractive in each other? In real life i never saw this pairing among the people i know.



I have dated 2 Taurus men in my life, one lasted 4 years with his birthday being april 29th and the second one for 9 months with his birthday being may 15th.. First one was absolutely in love with me, and he thought I was the one and he was so certain of that even though we argued a lot, he was VERY boring and it really brought me down. The one of 9 months was very slow getting into the relationship, and I guess I had the gut feeling from the get go that he wasn't gonna stay.. he is more exciting than the last one. He came home today actually and just said "we don't work and I have to end this" I have been stressed all day by this quick decision. I feel so heart broken. He has gemini in venus, which I read a lot about and was never anything good about it.. well I see now. It can absolutely work if both can compromise and find a balance in life and find the right level of communication. Otherwise is it love and hate.

What do you mean by 'capture' mode?

I told him that I can't be his friend right now - he hates the thought but says we'll get back there (no idea what 'there' is defined as in his mind though.

I know I'll still see him at training and he said - give me a hug when you see me and then we'll go be badasses but I told him I can't - that it'd make me cry so he countered with 5-five then. I said that he isn't allowed to hate me if I have to just ignore him - thought that might be the case tonight but he didn't show up.

In terms of friends... I don't want to have a superficial friendship with him - where everything that we talk about is on the surface, not that there is anything wrong with that but it's hard to go back to when you've actually connected. Talking about the weather - that's just boring for all involved. I did however tell him that I'd be there for him if he truly needed me, that would never change. He knows this - whether he actually takes me up on it though would be a surprise. Also, he's still my emergency contact... um... ya.

scorpchick:
What do you mean by 'capture' mode?

TLS: Meaning, you are still thinking of making him miss you, etc. I think you should entertain the possibility that the connection you two have may have changed, but is still very real, strong, important, transformative, etc. He may not actually be "the one" and in retrospect you might be spared from being locked in with him, but why isolate completely from someone you've been through so much with, shared your soul with, etc.? For myself, I only do this if I absolutely can't handle the pain. You asked in other places about the sexual spark. With Venus in Gem, I can tell you I lose it alot. Passion is really intense in the beginning, but then can often turn into friendship/roommates. I *hate* this. We question if we are really in love alot, if we have true passion, we over-analyze our relationship, etc. If a lover comes on strong (usually after we *led* them there) it can frighten us, and we are like "ok, chiiilllll". We love to charm, and even tease a bit, but then get flighty. Often prior to being pinned down and really committed I am *super* passionate. Once it gets *real*, it goes away for me. With my Cancer ex-wife, it was super passionate prior to marriage. Rapid decline started on the wedding night. Same with my Sag as she' moved in. You should read up a bit on Gemini. I would think Venus expressed through this nature would be a nightmare for a scorp long-term - fickle, lighthearted in love, unpredictable, etc. My Sag works for me because she's willing to constantly change and jump through hoops, and she doesnt' get mad when I'm just not feeling it. Sooner or later I change back and my feelings return to full strength or greater. Alot of times in love, we just don't know what the hell we feel and are saying something that won't be true for us shortly. That's why I wouldnt' take his "It was just a friend thing" *too* serious. I thought that too about my Cancer until she cheated/dumped me. Then I felt how much I actually loved her. lol. But that breakup had to happen; we are way better as friends (and it is a deep friendship). Be careful not to let that scorp desire to possess him body and soul, blind you to what may not be meant to be. But don't throw the baby bull out with the bathwater.

short excerpt from Astro Analysis on Taurus: Venus in Gemini -

"You idealize your attractions. You work yourself into a mental state that is electifying but short lived. You can't maintain a passionate relationship for long--your love affairs have to be continually revitalized by the power of your imagination....You understand love--you can write about it, talk about it with extraordinary insight--but you don't feel love to the depths of its wonderful profundity as ordinary long-suffering and tormented lovers do. You experience a fleeting superficial sensation. At times, you are even intensely jealous. But always it is an attachment of the mind, and it wanes as soon as you know the person sufficiently or a substitute new source of knowledge is available....You love to flirt. Because your emotional anchors are short-tied and seldom get hooked on the bottom, you are capable of keeping several love affairs going at once....Venus in Gemini people love to have a 'harem' of vivacious and intelligent men or women whom they can visit or call up any hour of the day or night...You entice the opposite sex in an indefinably subtle way with a suggestion of promise, a floating seductiveness, an aura of refined mysterious intimacy that when reached for, just isn't there. [LOL!!] You delight. You disappoint. You delight again."

Hahhahaa...These are definitely all things I heavily relate to, and I have to be honest, I would not date a woman with this. Being a Taurus Sun, I can't think of a Venus that is less attractive. Though on the flip side, the Taurus sun heavily counterbalances alot of this airy nature.

candyapples: So are you not with a Scorpio right now?! You mentioned your Sag moving in, so I assume you're with one romantically. You speak so highly of Scorps as if you're with one!

TLS: yeah, in a committed relationship w/a Sag. Need to change my name to just TLS, but don't know how. Grew up with very close scorp friends and a scorp dad. Never met a scorp female my age until recently, totally knocked me on my ass, came in here under a love spell and posted a bunch of embarrassing stuff on the board declaring my undying love, ranting about how every bull needs to go find themselves a Scorpio woman, etc. Then I read everywhere that Scorpios have this effect on people, particularly bulls. LOL...The whole experience actually got me back into areas of metaphysics (the paranormal, and astrology in particular) that I'd neglected for a while. Anyway, yeah, I don't physically cheat on anyone ever, so ultimately I couldn't pursue a romance with the scorp. My Sag is on her way home, so I've actually got to run, but I will try to post on the attraction to Sags. I think they're a great sign, and just really easy (particularly with her placements); its not this intense psychic connection (nowhere near the connection with the scorp really), but I think there are different types of love. Some are steady and comforting as opposed to obsessively passionate, and can be amazing in different ways. Would I rather plumb the murky depths with my scorp than have fun with my Sag? Yeah, a huge part of me would and dealing with that now is a major challenge, but it wasn't in the stars - bad timing for that angle. There's that saying - "love the one you're with". I've said a few times - I think Scorps are always looking for "the one" who they can be loyal to, and they are more loyal to that concept. I'm loyal (physically at least) to the woman I've committed to, even if they fall short of the ideal "one", who may not exist, or a recent connection I've felt. I will not abandon anyone I've committed myself to ever, even if my heart is being pulled really strongly (which it has been).




Your situation seems like a nightmare LOL. Although I'm sure you're happy nonetheless and wouldn't do anything to jeopardize what you have now.

I know what you mean about the taurus-scorp attraction. I guess that's why the only two bfs I ever had were both Taurus. Maybe it's somethin

>>>Hahahaha.....Well, I am getting used to it. I'm super happy.....for like a few days....then I get REALLY sad 😢. LOL. But I feel grateful in many ways that this particular scorp didn't get her claws in. I sense danger long-term. She'd cheat; I know it. She's way too hot. I have seen two guys she dated in the past and she is way out of their league (and out of mine), so she must have that scorp inferiority complex thing going, but EVERY guy at work thinks this girl is super sexy and hawks her. Its too much. Ideally, if I am ever single again, I'll meet a scorp that is cute, but not so hot. I would be fine with that as the attraction to scorps for me is not about the physical beauty so much, but about the type of connection I feel.

Just because she's attractive doesn't mean she'd cheat! And for us scorps...it's not an inferiority complex at all. I've dated A LOT of men where my friends look at me and say..."You can do better." But it's just a connection you feel with some, despite their looks (as you've stated). Also, pretty boys or even gorgeously good looking men don't appeal to all women. Personally, I love men who are understated, and scruffy. Think Brandon Crawford who plays for the SF Giants. He's dreamy 🙂

Don't be intimidated by a scorps sexiness!! Because 9/10 she'll only care how she's viewed thru your eyes....if you're ever able to snag one 😉

Whatup Intrigued...I do count myself as special but I think that's because of my Leo moon..hahahha. Little scorps with soulmate theme music. Too cute....I don't get how you could feel so intense and still wait years plotting. I have read this alot though. I suspect mine is done with me. We still check each other out a few times a week, but nothing like before. I'm sure I deserve a sting so I'm cautious. Heard scorps can lure you, then reject you to even things up. Some things happened in my life that I cant discuss publically, but that I know she is aware of, and that definitely altered the course. Plus I'm sure she felt rejection when she did all that dancing and seduction, but when she got close, I shut down in my shyness and just ignored her. It amazes me how she could be so bold with her eyes and her body, but then in my presence couldn't say anything to initiate. That was all on me. If you are gonna hunt your prey, why stop when so close to the kill?

Well...I think she's was just trying throw out the signals that she was interested and let you, as a man, do the pursuing. I hate chasing a man and won't do it. If a man doesn't pursue me even after I show interest, I'll chalk it up as disinterest on his part. But I'm just traditional in that sense of courtship.

Also, if she knows you have a gf...that could stop her in her tracks as well. Home wrecking isn't anyone's fort?...any Scorp with a conscience that is...

And that's why I wind up with those Sags and Leos, because a bull likes to be pursued and they just stroll right up and force their way in on me...hahahah...On the home-wrecking part, I dunnooooo....Hasn't been the case with many famous scorp women, some of whom have almost bragged about homewrecking in pursuit of "the one". Astrologers say scorps are attracted to forbidden relationships, and the 8th House is associated with benefiting from other peoples' belongings. I would think if a certain scorp were to REALLY feel that a person was her soulmate, she would feel it in her whole being, be consumed by the desire, and see it as a greater travesty to let any other lesser bond stand in the way. Maybe I'm wrong....

Idk...I've come across Tauruses who are very proactive in what they want, they something they like...they go after it. And I've also met shy Taurus men. Ultimately though, I feel if a man really wants something or someone, shy or not, they will pursue...it's just in their nature to hunt.

And I also feel that wanting what you can't have is universal to everyone, Scorp or not. Although, I guess I've never met a man that was in a relationship who I so strongly lusted after or felt some sort of love for that I felt a need to pursue it. As soon as I hear that a man has a gf they're automatically put in the "don't go there" category and I don't think twice about it again. Also, I don't think I could trust a man who would cheat on his current gf with me...no matter how I felt towards them. It's a douchey thing to do. If they'll cheat with you, they'll cheat on you.

But I have met men where we were dating prior to them getting into their next relationship and I couldn't move on from them. I still had feelings for them. So I would act out in ways that were in conjunction to how I felt. That was all mostly in my early twenties though. I've been better about dealing with those situations and just coping without having to act out.

I hear ya though, Scorps get a bad rap for being homewreckers, or cheaters, or deceitful, or drama starters. The works 😢

How does this then mesh with your stubborn taurus sun? Even if you start to question a decision or think you've made the wrong choice does your Taurus side keep you from doing anything about it - your mind is just made up even if you have your doubts/ change your perspective?

hahahahahahahahahahahahah....cute....I think its a combination of scorp shyness and scorp pride though. It is like you failed in some way if the supernatural powers of seduction you folks have, is not effective - even moreso if you thought he was "the one"....in your mind it sounds like its actually a certainty that he'll be your's....I think the will you folks have, the intensity of focus and passion towards the people you're courting, actually and very obviously affects your entire environment including their thinking about you....
