"1st: A steady unbreakable gaze. The winner of a staring contest. Boring holes through the back of people's heads with one's eyes.  Liking to give off an impression of being intense. A passionate approach to life. A person who likes to cause extreme reactions in others through their personal appearance: sometimes making extreme faces, other times showing no expression at all. Hiding all clues to the inner self through the outer mask. A person who actually, physically, hides. A person who does not like having photos taken. "

A discussion on the Suns ingress into Scorpio "The Scorpio Gaze"

"Scorpio is perhaps the most complex and misunderstood zodiac sign. Single minded, and driven by intensity of purpose. Scorpios approach life with total commitment, or none at all. This deep, secretive, and impenetrable sign has a strong impulse to immerse itself in life and this is no more evident than in close relationships.

A detailed list of Scorpio characteristics and keywords

" Scorpio is intense. No two ways about it. They radiate charisma and magnetism even when they're not trying. They get what they via an unrelenting do or die approach. Step on the Scorpion and they will never forget it. They will plot and scheme until they get you back. Somehow. Someway. They have a reputation for being vengeful and they're secretive. They keep secrets because they think that they will get something out of it.

"Scorpio is a water sign, co-ruled by Mars and Planet Pluto and is at home in the 8th house. Known for its powerful will and deep feelings, natives of this sign are capable of frightening more innocent zodiacal signs. Scorpios are the sophisticates of the zodiac, they've been around the block more than once and may make you feel that they were born knowing more about the underside of life than you do. They do."

"I am at a Chinese wedding banquet in San Francisco, seated at a table with eight strangers and my husband. I don't want to be here; it's only four days since the election and I'm still working my way through Kübler-Ross' five stages of grief.

"Scorpio holds the enviable reputation of being the most sexually magnetic, smoulderingly charismatic, and psychologically enigmatic of all the zodiac figures. Wonderful!
