About Me

you're your own person, scorpio, you do your own thing...
regardless of troubles it sometimes can bring.
if you have a secret, you'll never tell...
and you keep your own life pretty secret as well.
you seldom reveal your dreams and your plans.
that's why some people feel you're hard to understand.
if you like somebody, you'll do anything for him.
but if you're not interested, you'll just ignore him
whatever you do, you do it with zest, whether having fun--
or facing a test.
you always make sure you are looking your best.
your friends are scattered near and far.
some are funny, some seem strange--
but you like them just the way they are.
you don't try to make them change.
as a scorpio you're practical in the little things you do--
and you have many high ideals that mean a lot to you.
you work hard even when the going gets rough--
but for you, just one job at a time is enough.
instead of fretting, you put your worries on the shelf--
there's one thing in the world you're always very sure of--
that's yourself!
scorpio:
ruler: mars
color: deep red
gem: topaz
harmonious signs: cancer, pisces
