Scorpio

The Scorpio symbol

Scorpio is one of the twelve astrological signs in the western zodiac. Every year, the sun is in this sign from 23 October to 21 November, and those born during this period are considered Scorpios. The Daily Prophet ran a horoscope for Scorpio and the other signs of the zodiac in the horoscope section featured on its back page by 1995.

Traits

Scorpios were often described as deeply loyal individuals. They showed strong commitment to those they cared about and were always willing to protect and support their loved ones. Their loyalty was steadfast, often paired with a profound sense of responsibility, ensuring they remained dependable even in the face of difficulty.

Another notable trait of Scorpios was their intensity. They were not ones to take a casual approach to life or relationships. Instead, they tended to feel emotions deeply and expressed them with undeniable conviction. This intensity often made them seem serious or passionate, as they devoted considerable energy to the people and causes they valued.

Scorpios were also known for being mysterious. They frequently kept their thoughts and feelings to themselves, only revealing what they deemed necessary. This reserved nature could make them appear secretive or difficult to understand, but it also allowed them to maintain control over their personal lives and relationships. They were adept at keeping private matters confidential and were rarely quick to expose their vulnerabilities.

Risk-taking was another characteristic often associated with Scorpios. They were unafraid to confront danger or step into uncertain situations if they believed it to be worthwhile. This readiness to embrace risk stemmed from their determination and courage, even if it occasionally resulted in unforeseen consequences.

Finally, Scorpios were known for their honesty. While they might have kept personal details under wraps, they were forthright when it came to sharing their thoughts or opinions. They valued truth and clarity, avoiding dishonesty or ambiguity wherever possible. This honesty, coupled with their other traits, made them trustworthy individuals who acted with integrity.
