Scorpio - Basic info:

Scorpio is a water sign (along with Cancer and Pisces). Water signs are emotion based.
Scorpio's are highly sensitive and empathic.
We look cool and calm, like nothing get's to us. This is deceptive appearance though.
Scorpio's have tough lives, overall. Much tougher than others may realise.
We are like the:
Ocean - surface mostly looks calm. There's so much under the surface you can't see, so much your not aware of.
Iceberg - you see the tip of the iceberg, but you don't see what's underneath.

Combine (when i.e. grieving): Scorpio+waves of grief+our need for alone time+our secrecy+our emotional frame of mind+highly sensitive nature+we bottle things up+can't share our burdens+our empathic nature=a MESSED UP Scorpio. Bear this in mind if you have a Scorpio in your life.
