How to Dress Like a Scorpio

Hello darkness, my old friend...

Happy Scorpio season, my loves! We’ve officially entered the dark half of the year and the alchemist of the zodiac is here to usher us into the underworld. 

If you’re a Scorpio Queen (or just want to dress like one) then read on!

In this post you’re going to find out about:

• Scorpio personality traits

• Scorpio style points

Scorpio Personality Traits

If your birthday is between October 24th - November 21st, then you are a Scorpio.

Scorpio is a fixed water sign that is magnetic, observant, deep, and intense. 

They are known for being complex, mysterious and fiercely private. They are innately powerful and intrigued by psychology and transformation. This can make them very intimidating to others. 

Some of the shadow traits they may need to work through are their fear of vulnerability, possessiveness, jealousy, secrecy, need for control, and their tendency to obsess. 

Scorpio rules the 8th house of transformation, intimacy, and death. Here we find our connections to the taboo, long-term relationships, investments, shared finances, sex, the occult, magic, and psychological regeneration. This is where to look to explore your “shadow” self and find deep healing.  

Scorpio’s traditional ruler is Mars and its modern ruler is Pluto.

 Mars in Scorpio is less impulsive and more perceptive and passionate. Whereas Aries (also ruled by Mars) is the warrior that charges into battle without hesitation, Scorpio is the General waiting until the opportune moment to strike. 

Pluto is associated with the underworld and power dynamics. It can bring transformation but also destruction in its pursuit of uncovering and healing karmic wounds. 

To recap, some Scorpio personality traits are:

• Magnetic

• Mysterious

• Private/Secretive

• Intense

• Complex
