The best thing about being a Scorpio is: We are super passionate, we have so much love to offer and we are fiercely persistent about going after what we want! 

The hardest thing about being a Scorpio: Being so emotional and feeling allllll the feels, all the time. Since we are so passionate, it can sometimes lead to expectations and eagerness, and therefore be a letdown. 

I’m at my most Scorpio when: I’m happily in love! My current partner accepts, validates, and enlightens my emotional and sensitive self. He has helped me learn to be softer on myself because although my exterior may come off as tough, my insides are like a molten lava cake - and that’s ok! Being in love (with the right partner) allows me to explore my vulnerability on a more frequent basis and helps me to further accept that for myself and even love myself more. Don’t validate yourself off of anybody else, but if they guide you to love yourself, even more, I think that’s beautiful. 

My best tips for other Scorpios: Don’t let your feelings control you. Although each feeling can be easily felt, don’t let that determine your mood, your day, or your life. Acknowledge your feelings and accept them (they are valid!) and then learn to use them, rather than allow them to damage you. 

What else do you want people to know about being a Scorpio? Reign in on your sensitive and emotional side; it’s a strength, not a weakness! People will tell you not to be “so emotional” but always remember, it’s a rare trait that we are lucky to have!
