Scorpio is the eighth sign of the zodiac. She is often mistaken as a fire sign due to their “fiery” nature but in fact belongs to the water sign. The Scorpio takes on the more powerful and intense energy that water can have. She presents herself as very guarded and quite mysterious but underneath it all she is a deeply emotional being. Her gaze is strong and slightly intimidating, but her arms are wrapping around her body as if a subtle shield of protection. The scorpion is not the only symbol for this sign, the eagle and phoenix are equally significant representatives. The eagle has powerful vision and can spot the tiniest details much like the Scorpio who can tell when someone is lying based off their tone and facial expressions alone. The phoenix is known across many cultures to symbolise reinvention and renewal. The transformational energy that the phoenix represents is an instinctive trait to Scorpio. She can be a tough enemy but can also be the most loyal and trustworthy ally. The chrysanthemum is the flower of this zodiac. They symbolise optimism and fidelity.
