Not recommended for the faint-hearted...but if you've fallen for a Scorpio, here's a road map to guide you through the web of intrigue.

TIPS FOR MEN

Black leather, a 750 cc motorbike and a slick hairdo and you may be in with a chance! Scorpio romance takes place behind closed doors, so show her there’s more to you than meets the eye! This girl is intense so you’ll need courage, passion and integrity to impress. No two timing – you’ll pay for it dearly!  Once a Scorpio has given their heart, they're loyal for life. To be the recipient of this intense loyalty you have to show her you're worth it. She'll watch your every move to make sure you're the real McCoy so impress her with your loyalty to those you love and never engage in backstabbing. Stroke her hair.

TIPS FOR WOMEN

If you’ve set your sights on a Scorpio, don’t think the chase will be easy. He likes to be in control so you have to be clever and make him think he’s chasing you! Impress him with your selection of crime novels and if this fails, a revealing outfit (black, purple or dark red) will go a long way!  Scorpios like dark places and night time haunts.  Invite him to a warehouse party or underground music venue then look into his eyes and brush up close against him. Never flirt with other men or he won't be seen for dead. He finds it hard to trust, so act with integrity and show him you care.

All About Scorpios
The Sun travels through water sign Scorpio from the 23rd October until 22nd November. Scorpio is the eighth sign of the zodiac with keywords “I survive” and “I am intense”. Those born under the sign of the Scorpion are loyal, strong and courageous. They love exploring the mysteries of life – birth, death, sexuality, reincarnation and anything taboo. They have a reputation for being passionate, secretive and highly sexual and due to their emotional intensity, often have to deal with issues of trust and betrayal. Negatively, Scorpios can be possessive, jealous, vindictive, destructive and manipulative, particularly when hurt or betrayed. In medical astrology, Scorpio rules the organs of elimination and reproduction including the urinary tract, bowel, prostate gland and nasal bones. When Scorpios are out of balance they can suffer from haemorrhoids, constipation, urinary tract infections, menstrual and reproductive problems plus catarrh and sinus problems. The Scorpio colours are dark red, purple, dark green and black. Scorpio’s greatest lesson is to learn to let go on an emotional level and forgive.

How to handle a Scorpio
This original smooth operator (think James Bond) will have you sussed in seconds, while simultaneously sporting a poker face, so handle with care!  Lying is pointless, so try the direct, frank approach and you could well disarm them….but only temporarily.  Remember, Scorpios are very sensitive underneath that cool exterior, so be bold but avoid games.
