Scorpio Behavior When in Love | LoveToKnow (2024)

Scorpio's Behavior Is Influenced by an Emotional Nature

Scorpio is a water sign, and this element is known for its emotional nature. Water seeks its own level and can span across and cover large areas and hide a secret world below the surface. Water is a powerful element; it washes land away, puts out fires, and dissolves air.

How Water Influences Scorpio Romance

When it comes to love, the water influence means Scorpios tend to:

• Feel love quite deeply
• Be introspective
• Be emotionally driven

Scorpio's Behavior Is Influenced by a Fixed Nature

Scorpio's quadruplicity is within the fixed category. Fixed signs are the least movable of the quadruplicities. Fixed energy runs deep, hangs on, and does not give up.

Deep, Introspective, and Stubborn

This explains why Scorpios tend to be extremely deep, introspective, and stubborn. If Scorpio were an earth sign, grounded earth energy combined with the fixed quadruplicity would translate into a very stable but stubborn individual. However, Scorpio is water, and when water is deep and does not flow, it can lead to stagnation, obsession, and deeply hidden emotions.

How Fixed Signs Affect Scorpio Lovers

Hence, when Scorpios fall in love, that fixed nature means:

• They feel love right down to their very core.
• They want to control and become one with their beloved.
• They want to feel all the pleasures and all the pain of love.
• They want to immerse and lose themselves in that love, drown in it, and be transformed by it.

As you can imagine, the influences of the water element and the fixed quadruplicity combine to make most Scorpios very intense, passionate, and possessive, but also ferociously loyal and protective lovers.

Scorpios Display Extreme Romantic Behavior

The ancient Greeks called love "the madness of the gods." Songwriters described it as, "Whenever you're near, I hear a symphony." Shakespeare said, "Love is blind, and lovers cannot see." Aristotle said, "Love is composed of a single soul inhabiting two bodies." Modern psychologists define it as "a strong desire for emotional union." Astrologers call this extreme romantic behavior Scorpio.

A Love Worth Singing or Writing About

When you examine Scorpio's love behavior, it's easy to see why this sign almost dominates so many of the creative arts. A Scorpio is fully invested in their partner, the experience of love, and the good and bad sensations that accompany a romance. A chart-dominant Scorpio often sees love in black and white, can become obsessive, and can commit every intimate moment to examining the memory. They might even go so far as to record their experience in a book or in song. This is why many Scorpios are associated with poetry, literature, music, and arts. It's cathartic for them to expose and explore the depths and extremes of their emotionally intense, erotic, and sometimes dark romantic behavior through a creative art form.

Beware Scorpio's Jealousy

A sign that experiences love so deeply also feels betrayal every bit as deeply. Scorpios are jealous, sometimes horribly so. After all, every emotion they feel is enhanced by their fixed and water-driven nature. Jealousy is no different. The jealousy of a Scorpio can lead to acts of vengeance and a completely unforgiving nature. Once spurned, a Scorpio feels emptied and ruined. They lack the solidity of the earth signs, the rationality of the air signs, and the optimism of the fire signs. Chart-dominant Scorpios are ruled by their emotions and will react from depths of their emotional extremes.

They're Extremely Protective, Loyal, and Faithful Lovers

Any love relationship with a Scorpio is bound to be complicated and an exercise in extremes. They can be moody for no apparent reason and are known for their possessiveness and jealousy, but if they're seriously committed to a relationship, they are responsible and will always remain stable and true through any relationship highs and lows. Scorpios are extremely dependable, protective, loyal, and faithful, and even more so if they receive the same from their partner. A Scorpio is either all in or all out, and it's more likely than not they'll simply burn the relationship bridge if they're unsatisfied rather than cheat on their partner.

Other Behaviors of Scorpios in Love

Scorpios in love want to experience the extremes of love, its highs and lows, and the total emotional and physical experience, and this causes them to behave in some mysterious ways.

Positive Behaviors

They can behave in ways that are:

• Resourceful, honest, and protective
• Faithful, constant, and enduring
• Passionate and unrestrained in the bedroom

Challenging Behaviors

On the other hand, they can behave in ways that are:

• Cold, secretive, and distrustful
• Controlling, possessive, and obsessive
• Vengeful and hurtful

Perhaps their most mysterious behavior is that if the relationship has gotten too calm, comfortable, and loving, they will behave in ways that stir up trouble.

Sometimes a Scorpio Doesn't Have a Scorpio Sun

Scorpio swings between extremes of behavior. Likewise, due to the fixed quality of these extremes, their behavior can be overwhelming. However, you don't have to have a Scorpio Sun to behave like a Scorpio. The behaviors above don't just apply to just Scorpio Suns, it applies to all individuals whose natal chart contains the placement of at least three significant planets in Scorpio. In particular, individuals who have a Moon Scorpio or a Venus/ Pluto aspect in their natal chart will likely behave in the above described manners. Astrological love profiling is a nuanced art. To uncover the most accurate assessment of a love interest, it's best to work with an experienced client-centered astrologer who can properly dissect your lover's natal chart. However, make sure to get your lover's permission before making an appointment. A professional astrologer's ethics include never doing an extensive interpretation without specific permission from the third party.
