I may not always be a believer in astrology and/ or astronomy but i find these particular information about 90% true to me.
Scorpio the Scorpion
Scorpio is the Eighth Sign of the Zodiac. It is associated with beginnings and endings...and those born under this Sign are unafraid of either, possessing a deep, driving desire and unstoppable determination to learn about others. The Sun enters Scorpio as Autumn advances. It is a time of impending hiberation, but even as the land is chilled, the seeds within the earth promise eventual reawakening. This is the Season of Scorpio...perhaps the most complex of all Zodiac Signs. It is significant that this Sign has not one symbol, but several: the Scorpion, the Eagle and the Phoenix, each contributing distinctive qualities to the Sign's nature. Aggression and instinct are provided courtesy of the Scorpion aspect, illustrated by way of destructive behavior, a viciously competitive personality with a tendency to be violent and cruel. The Eagle aspect provides a shrewd insight possessed by most Scorpio natives...they have the ability to see what others miss. They discern hidden motives, ferreting out secret flaws and vulnerabilities. Indeed, due to the thirst for power and and mastery, those governed by this Zodiac Sign are not above exploiting the weaknesses of others to their own advantage. It has been said that counted among the most important tasks of those ruled by Scorpio is the necessity to rid themselves of the tendency to be judgmental, learning to temper their insight with compassion. Individuals who can manage this difficult assignment manifest the virtues of the Phoenix...the redemptive third aspect of this Sign. Much like the Phoenix, those governed by Scorpio are survivors. In an emotional sense, they may perish in the ashes of their own destructive nature, but they can also transcend and transform. According to some sources, the Dove is also symbolic of this Sign, lending those it rules the virtue of compassion, as is the Snake or Serpent. Natives of Scorpio do possess a capacity for high spritual development, but it is generally believed that their path toward such enlightenment will be the most difficult of the entire Zodiac. In short, those governed by this Sign must become alchemists...transmuting dark instinct and selfish impulse into purified desire. They must also strive to discipline themselves, working toward curbing and chanelling their considerable power for constructive purposes.
The symbol...or glyph...of Scorpio is generally considered to be a representation of the legs and tail of the Scorpion, signifying the power of this Sign to suddenly and fatally...often with a hint of wilful cruelty or vindictiveness...sting whatever and whomever may have hurt its feelings or denied its strong-willed desires. This glyph has also been interpreted as a modification of that associated with Virgo, but into a symbol of male sexuality and selfish instincts. However, on a psychic level, Scorpio does indicate penetrating insightfulness. Displaying an upward arrow extension, the symbol of Scorpio represents energy in the form of an upward movement of the soul in its journey homeward. This is also an energy that is not easily constrained and carries an impulse to invade in an unswerving and focused manner.
Also known as the Sign of the Mystic or the Investigator, Scorpio is Negative in polarity (as are Taurus, Cancer, Virgo, Capricorn and Pisces). The general characteristics of Negative Signs lean toward introversion and prefer to draw upon personal resources rather than look for external stimuli. Such individuals are naturally more receptive, sensitive and nurturing than are the Zodiac Signs of Positive polarity (Aries, Gemini, Leo, Libra, Sagittarius and Aquarius). However, Negative Signs are also likely to be much more cautious, retiring and standoffish than their Positive counterparts with a tendency to keep personal feelings under tight control. Taurus is the most introverted of the Negative Signs (with Virgo a close second).
All Zodiac Signs governed by the Elements of Earth and Water are considered to be Feminine in nature. Thus, Scorpio (ruled by water) is considered Feminine (as are Taurus, Cancer, Virgo, Capricorn and Pisces). Feminine Signs are traditionally conceived as being more receptive and less active than their Masculine counterparts which are ruled by the Elements of Fire and Air (the Zodiac Signs of Aries, Gemini, Leo, Libra, Sagittarius and Aquarius). Feminine Signs focus primarily on the emotional and material world with particular attention to sensitivity and depth of feeling. Feminine Signs are said to be noctural or night-oriented. Therefore, the term "feminine" should be viewed in the same light as the Yin (or dark) Polarity of the Tao.
Scorpio is the natural ruler of the Eighth House of the Zodiac, commonly referred to as the "House of Death and Inheritance" and known in Vedic Astrology as the "Idle Place" and "Place of Death." It delves into relationships, interactions and how certain aspects of such interactions can take on a more communal nature. Associated with the dismantling of the physical body, it is related to the passing of those persons an individual holds near and dear. It also rules the areas in life over which a human being has no control or can provide no explanation, as well as being linked to the finances and resources of others. In addition, it has jurisdiction over taxes, inheritances and investment banking. This House is also said to govern those things or forces that are invisible...prayer, for example, or the world of magic...shamanism, regeneration and the afterlife. In the ancient world, this House was deemed sacred. In modern times, it is this House that is said to rule all that is considered to be taboo in society. It is within this House that a person's sexual urges are revealed, along with deep-seated primitive and base instincts. Here also resides instense emotional connections, fears and obsessions. In addition, the Eighth House has jurisdiction over crime, research and investigation. It is governed by the Planet Pluto.
The opposite sign to Scorpio is Taurus. From Taurus, Scorpio can learn to appreciate the variety of other people's talents and value them as they truly deserve. Thus, can Scorpio natives become more gentle with themselves.

The Male
The Scorpio male is said to be the epitome of the strong and silent type...although he is never at a loss for words on the right occasion. Intensely emotional yet reticent in his expression of affection, others should not be misled by this man's apparently thick skin. At heart, he is a sensitive soul. Because of this, jealousy could be the Scorpio male's worse fault and he will need a partner who has eyes for nobody else but him. This man is almost certain to be in a career that requires specialization...surgery, industrial design or police detection, for example. Therefore, his work will always come first. Possessed of a wry and sometimes cruel wit, this is essentially a kind-hearted man who is blessed with a philosophical turn of mind. He is cognizant of the favorably appealing affect he has on anyone attracted to him, but often acts aloof since he would rather hunt than be hunted. As a sweetheart, he is intense and moody, liable to chase his quarry with much determination. However, if kept at bay too long, this male is likely to hate instead of love or lose interest very suddenly. As a life partner, he will be extremely occupied with his family and home, although he may not always give this impression. Details usually fail to interest the Scorpio male and he is quite content to leave the mundane responsibilites to his partner. However, when it comes to such things as the education of a child or that child's developing personality, then the man ruled by Scorpio will throw himself whole-heartedly into the project.
Typically an old-fashioned individual, this man is not always easy to live with since he can be overbearing. He expects a partner to be receptive to his every thought and follow his instructions with total obedience. Usually a successful soul, the male governed by Scorpio is well able to support a family, but his intensely personal passion and highly possessive attitude may prove to be something of a strain on loved ones. Indeed, no matter how much love and devotion this man receives, it is in his nature to be secretive and suspicious. In short, he will almost always suspect that deceptive conditions are working against him, even though such conditions usually do not exist and are largely imaginative in origin. The depth of this male's affection for loved ones is genuine but he cannot seem to learn how to be more pliable. The man ruled by Scorpio is prone to indulge in excesses. His desires may often be unnatural...and even gross...but nonetheless, demand satisfaction. However, since this male tends to suffer deeply from his indulgences, he is apt to make inward promises of temperance once the appetites have been satiated.

Love Life
Within every native of Scorpio, there is an intense sexuality and smoldering sensuality. Here, there is a profound depth and attraction to love and what accompanies love in life. Those ruled by Scorpio are passionate when they invest their feelings and things are never boring with a Scorpio sweetheart. They thrive best when they feel secure and stable within a relationship, enjoying the physical gifts of being in love as much as they enjoy the emotional ones. The mates of Scorpio individuals will never fathom what is on the mind of their partners since this Sign is essentially...and constantly...mysterious by nature. The one exception to this is when a Scorpio native is engaging in expression through his or her passion. These are watchful, quiet and dedicated souls who can be as protective of the ones they love as they are of their own vulnerable emotions and feelings. The Scorpio subject tends to be dominate in any relationship since feeling in control is one of the ways in which he or she can invest the heart. Although there is a notorious jealous streak here, accompanied by a deep-rooted possessiveness, the Scorpio native is capable of an unequaled level of trust and faith in terms of love and romance. Those who fall under the jurisdiction of this Zodiac Sign are usually unafraid to face either life or death and such fearlessness translates into sexual expression. They can reach the highest highs or the lowest lows in whatever passion they pursue and they are the most intense, uninhibited and dynamic individuals of the Zodiac in terms of physical intimacy.
Those who fall under the jurisdiction of Scorpio possess an electrifying magnetism that tends to draw partners into their charmed circle. Not everyone is prone to recognize the attraction at first since Scorpio natives tend to hide their light under a bushel. These are souls who are far from light-hearted in love...save in inspired flashes...because they reach for the stars, expecting the highest ecstasy from their emotional lives. Unfortunately, individuals governed by this Sign are bitterly disappointed when this falls short of their dreams. The Scorpio impact on a potential mate can be magnificent, but it will all depend on whether this native is in the mood. Still, these are not heartless or ruthless types and possess little in the way of dalliance skills. Scorpio subjects desire a love affair that will give off sparks and they are deeply affected, even when only thinking about a loved one. Here, the intuition in love is highly developed and a response can be sensed in another almost immediately. Scorpio can be intensely jealous, but is one of the few who do not place too much importance on faithfulness...believing in a personal power to maintain a lifetime hold over a mate. Past sweethearts probably never forget a Scorpio love interest or the effect such a relationship had on their lives. Utterly sincere in their determination to make a success of a long-term committment, individuals governed by Scorpio want to be "in love" all their lives.
Those governed by Scorpio prefer a partner who can help him or her obtain what is truly desired. Indeed, Scorpio natives ordinarily expect measurable results and benefits from any and all relationships/associations. At times, the rather demanding nature of this Sign can become distasteful, but it is up to the individual to decide whether a partnership with Scorpio will be worth all the effort and trouble. Scorpio natives tend to be rather pleased if others understand, approve and perhaps even appreciate the fact that they do possess somewhat fixed ideas and opinions regarding most matters. Also well appreciated will be the further realization that Scorpio individuals cannot tolerate anyone hounding them to change. Basically, they are prone to adore partners who are especially patient. It should never be forgotten that in the romantic arena, the physical aspect of any relationship will be vitally important to those governed by this Sign. Natives of Scorpio do not care for individuals who lack determination and direction, believing that it is necessary to have a definite and clear-cut goal regarding what is wanted from life. Most people ruled by Scorpio take their own goals and turn them into burning desires. Essentially, these are strongly desire-motivated individuals...ones who are more than a little put out by anyone who dares to criticize them for seeking fulfillment of their aims in life.
When it comes to long term commitments, the Scorpio native requires solid security without feeling that his or her partner is a doormat. This tends to be a precarious balance that is only learned over the course of time. The longer a Scorpio individual is in a relationship, then the more secure that relationship is prone to become. These are naturally suspicious souls (feeling and seeing things that most of the general population work to ignore) and such depth is accompanied by the need for some equally powerful self-protective mechanisms. Here, the insecurity and jealousy are by-products of self-preservation. The Scorpio subject likes to be in control and is very seldom found in a subservient role, unless he or she has chosen to occupy such a position. These are persons who need passionate mates...ones who can keep pace with the inherent Scorpio desire. In addition, they need partners who are capable of both maintaining a loyalty and their own sense of individuality. This is of paramount importance if the relationship is to be balanced. Those governed by this Zodiac Sign are essentially homebodies, feeling most comfortable when they are within their own domains. They despise being surprised, embarrassed or humiliated and will retaliate with incredible swiftness and strength. This is a Sign capable of amazing turn-around and growth. In short, the Scorpio powers of rejuvenation...either physical, spiritual or emotional...should never be underestimated.
The Scorpio male is impulsive, energetic and ambitious, possessing great physical and mental vigor. He is a champion of human rights...as well as his own...and as a result, is often "at odds" with government agencies. This man is quick to make any partner understand that he is the boss and above all else, is completely intolerant of any outsider meddling in what he considers to be his personal life. Still, beneath the hard surface, there is usually a rather soft and balsam-like heart. The Scorpio male always says exactly what he means. All Scorpio natives possess a second sight when it comes to knowing what is really happening with people, places and things. Thus, if a potential mate is looking to fool the man ruled by this Sign into thinking one thing and doing somethig different, the result will be certain disaster since Scorpio is dangerous when crossed. Generally, Scorpio men are very physical, but tend to be emotional and almost poetic in their pursuit of love. Still, there is a certain brutality and radical honesty here that some Zodiac Signs frequently find difficult to comprehend. Brutally frank...brutally honest...brutally brutal...males ruled by Scorpio refuse to do anything halfway, which includes the love they have for their partners. Once these men have set a goal to attain something or someone, they will do whatever is necessary to achieve their desired objective, regardless of how long the process might take. No potential partner should ever try to change or reform the Scorpio male. The quickest way to chase him away is to encourage him to dress differently, or correct his manner or speech, or rearrange his closet or office filing system. What this man does, he does the way he does...because that is exactly the way he wants to do it. It will also be important not to ask him for an accounting of his business or how he makes his living or where his money comes from. Scorpio is one of the most private Signs of the Zodiac but because of the outright honesty (which is inherent in the Scorpio character), its natives will reveal anything and everything...provided they are not asked to do so. In order to be happy with a Scorpio male, any potential partner will need to learn that patience and understanding are the most valuable virtues to possess when dealing with him. If he appears blunt and even rude at times, he should not be antagonized...wait until he is in a more affable mood and then try a little flattery, which usually does the trick quite nicely with this man.

Scorpio natives are often regarded as somewhat magnetic and the libido here is said to be legendary. However, these individuals can be exceedingly jealous and resentful, requiring a partner who can respond at the deepest of levels. In short, those governed by Scorpio have no time or patience for superficial unions. This is a sign which possesses much stamina, but one that can be both brutal and emotional. This subject understands the innermost needs of a partner and is an expert in the art of love and romance. Still, there will always be the tendency toward jealousy and the seeking of revenge...to say nothing of the secretive character associated with this Sign. These natives are prone to act mysterious and profound, but it will be necessary for any mate not to get upset over this...if left to themselves, those ruled by Scorpio will eventually come down to earth.

Scorpio and Taurus
Both Scorpio and Taurus are prone to be extremely stubborn Signs, to say nothing of being opinionated and set in their ways. This can reflect back on the relationship and make even minor issues a cause for all out war...with the more serious conflicts becoming virtually intolerable. Still, money problems are not likely to arise here since both partners take a serious approach to finances. Scorpio and Taurus are by nature possessive and jealous, but this could bring them closer together as each will understand the feelings of insecurity that the other is experiencing. Both partners share the basic need for a secure and stable background. Thus, a domestic environment will play a large part in their life together. However, these shared attitudes and traits may be all that can make this relationship a workable proposition. Fights are not likely to stop long enough for this couple to work on their differences in an unprejudiced manner or for any suggestion on the part of either to be implemented. Yet another cause of tension will be the conflict of Scorpio's strong and emotional nature to the rational and realistic character of Taurus. Here, the romantic life will be erratic at best. Both partners tend to be physically active in a sexual sense but the times their desires conincide could be far too few to provide satisfaction in a long term committment.
If nothing else, a Scorpio/Taurus union will be intense...either positively or negatively. These Signs are opposite on the Zodiac Wheel which does lend a rather special and complex connection between the two and they can, on occasion, combine to make a whole with each partner's strengths balancing the other's weaknesses. There is much in common here, but because both personalities are so powerful, they often swing between passionate romance and passionate disagreement. Scorpio and Taurus are Signs that possess deep desires...Scorpio for power and Taurus for possessions. Both are concerned with wealth and resources...in addition to being impassioned about all sorts of things. The Taurus native is probably somewhat more self-focused than Scorpio, who tends to be more involved with his or her mate and immediate family. The Taurus partner will prize honesty and forthrightness and abhor infidelity. Unfortunately for Taurus, natives of Scorpio are prone to be mysterious...their need for security related to the need for constant reassurance that the emotional connection with any mate is a solid one. Luckily, Taurus also requires this type of reassurance and is more than willing to provide such to a partner.
Scorpio is ruled by the planet Pluto and Taurus is ruled by the planet Venus. Courtesy of Pluto's influence, this makes for an intense combination...one which is an excellent balance of masculine and feminine energy. Together, Scorpio and Taurus form the basis of all love relationships...love and passion. Venus also combines well with Mars (the ruling planet of Scorpio prior to the discovery of Pluto). Mars is associated with the passion of romance and Venus with the beauty. By nature, Scorpio natives are smoldering and intense...to say nothing of being highly sexual. Taurus, inherently sensual and tireless, cannot help but be attracted to Scorpio's intensity. In turn, Scorpio enjoys the devotion which is a natural trait of Taurus individuals. Scorpio is governed by the element of Water while Taurus is governed by the element of Earth. Scorpio is prone to be deep...like an ocean...but too much upset can cause a tidal wave. When natives of Scorpio believe they have been crossed by a partner, then retaliation can be vindictive and vicious. Fortunately, Scorpio and Taurus are Signs that will usually be exceedingly loyal to each other. However, where Taurus is open with everything laid bare on the surface, Scorpio is more secretive and inscrutible. Each can teach the other about their opposite views of life (i.e., direct versus complex) and another factor which adds a tantalizing dimension to this union is the shared tendency toward jealousy. The Taurus partner will just adore Scorpio's jealous displays since it means that he or she is adored and appreciated. Scorpio and Taurus are both Fixed in quality, which means both are likely to be somewhat stubborn and resolute once their minds have been made up. It can only be hoped that their minds agree or there will certainly be battles...the likes of which neither is likely to experience with any other Zodiac Signs. Here, Taurus appears to prevail as the dominant partner, but such is not always the case. The Scorpio native will be very adept at winning through more devious means...employing emotional manipulation to get what he or she wants, for example. This pair must learn to discuss their views and needs in an open fashion to ensure a happy and lasting union. Compromise is also essential and this will depend largely upon the Scorpio partner's ability to learn to trust Taurus. If this couple cannot overcome their opinionated stances, then the relationship is doomed to failure. Still, this is a powerful connection that can shine when obstacles to intimacy are cleared away. Once the Scorpio partner realizes that Taurus is committed and unlikely to create the misery that some natives of Scorpio seem to attract to their lives, this union could blossom and flourish.
In essence, this combination is one of mutual admiration. In a romantic sense, the physical ties will be strong and the pair usually have much in common. However, the chief problem is likely to be jealousy...and it almost invariably shows its face sooner or later. Here, longevity is best achieved when the Taurus native is very careful to keep faith with his or her Scorpio partner.

Long read, though i gotta say that i quite thoroughly enjoyed it. Once again i find it 90% true to me, with ever so little being false that you might as well consider it true as a whole.
