Scorpio
is one of the most complex signs of the Western Zodiac. That’s because
there are many seeming contradictions to Scorpios that are difficult for
others to understand. This comes as no surprise to Scorpios as they
often have a hard time figuring themselves out. This is the sign of the
old soul, the hermit, but also the practical and resourceful worker.
Scorpios don’t trust others easily and have a hard time showing their
feelings to others until they are nearly certain that their desired
secrecy will be honored. Secrecy, especially of emotions, is a hallmark
of this sign. Scorpios bury their problems deep within themselves, so
deep that they hope they will never resurface again.
Scorpios
live life their own way, by their own rules. They are extremely
intelligent and have a strong intuition to boot, though it easy for them
to become paranoid and take comments and actions from others personally
when they were not intended that way. It is very important for Scorpios
to be respected, and they are willing to manipulate people and
situations in order to exercise their power. At the same time, they
dislike playing social “games” with others and have little respect for
those who do.
Those
sharing the sign of Scorpio may notice in themselves a tendency to
spend a lot of time alone. Indeed, this is not the most social of signs,
though this can be offset by a social strength within their Chinese
Zodiac Sign or by a strong aspect in their birth chart.
Scorpios are emotionally intense in many ways. Though they don’t like to show their feelings, they cannot simply continue to bury their problems and celebrate their victories alone. They need strong, close friendships in order to maintain a connection to the rest of humanity. They don’t need many friends and generally prefer smaller circles of people they can trust and who understand them, or at least try to. Loyalty is of utmost importance. In fact, if you cross a Scorpio, don’t expect them to ever trust you again. This is a sign that holds grudges for a very long time.
Even though they have a tendency to be moody and withdrawn, Scorpios also have a great deal of passion inside of them. They are highly resourceful, persistent, and ambitious. Combined with a strong intellect, it is easy for Scorpios to win in the material aspects of life, and many are indeed very successful, especially in careers that require a great deal of unemotional, scientific analysis.

Scorpios born during the Chinese Zodiac’s Year of the Ox are represented in Primal Astrology by the Platypus. This incredibly complex sign keeps the complexity mostly internal. The Ox enhances Scorpio’s tireless quest for greatness in so many ways I can’t list them all.

Scorpios born during the Chinese Zodiac’s Year of the Pig are represented in Primal Astrology by the Squid.

Scorpio born during the Year of the Rabbit...
Scorpios
born during the Chinese Zodiac’s Year of the Rabbit are represented in
Primal Astrology by the Koala. Rabbit is just as much of a loner as
Scorpio, but brings with it an appreciation for elegance and beauty to
balance out Scorpio’s appreciation for power. A master manipulator,
Koalas have a much easier time telling others what they want to hear
than they do creating their own happiness. You can read more about the Primal Zodiac sign of Koala by clicking here.

them. The Rat enhances Scorpio’s survival instincts and superb
observational skills, but also brings a nervous energy to the mix.
Luckily rats are funny and expressive, which complement Scorpio
perfectly. You can read more about the Primal Zodiac sign of Anaconda by clicking here.
Scorpio born during the Year of the Rooster...
Scorpios
born during the Chinese Zodiac’s Year of the Rooster are represented in
Primal Astrology by the Owl. Determined, hard working, and confident,
Owls are one of the most observant signs in the Primal Zodiac. Scorpio
and the Rooster have a lot of the same strengths, but it’s Rooster’s
ability to express itself that Scorpio values most, though Rooster’s
arrogance can get Owls into lots of trouble. You can read more about the Primal Zodiac sign of Owl by clicking here.

Scorpio born during the Year of the Tiger...
Scorpios

don’t take no $#!% from nobody. The rebellious and strong-willed Tiger
is bound to get Scorpio into trouble, but it’s Tiger’s passion and love
of life that make these two such a powerful combination. Honey Badgers
are impatient and intense and potentially obsessive, but nobody can stop
them once they decide to do something. You can read more about the Primal Zodiac sign of Tiger by clicking here.
