The Miseducation of the Scorpio
To Miseducate; meaning to educate improperly.
Being independent, strong, and seductive sign we Scorpio’s tend to get a bad reputation. For example, when I meet a guy and tell him I’m a Scorpio the answer is usually “Oh so you a Scorpio? That means you’re up for any and everything huh?!” The answer is Yes I’m up for any and everything, but not with YOU! On other occasions when others learned I was a Scorpio I was labeled as a jealous person or temperamental bitch. Scorpio’s are probably the most misunderstood astrological sign there is.
That is why I’m here to set the record straight about what others have been miseducated about.
Miseducation number 1: The nasty slutty Scorpio.
Scorpio’s tend to be comfortable with sexuality, and have no problems exploring it. But, that exploring usually takes place with our partners and only our partners. If you want a fulfilled sex life Scorpio is the way to go, but its not for everyone to experience.
Miseducation number 2: The crazy jealous Scorpio!
I really dislike that we are the sign that gets the jealous label. Isn’t jealousy a part of human nature? I’ve never met a Scorpio that was excessively jealous. I haven’t quite figured out what is meant by that. What do you think?
Miseducation number 3: The Violent Scorpio.
I’ll admit Scorpios do have a bad temper, but I won’t say we are violent. If you get into a confrontational situation with a Scorpio you might just quit the argument, because Scorpio’s are passionate about what they believe. We’ll argue you down til you can’t take anymore, and sometimes it gets a tad bit heated. On the off chance that we do get up to fight you might want to run!
Miseducation number 4: The too secretive/sneaky Scorpio.
I wouldn’t say we are secretive we’re just mysterious. Scorpio’s believe strongly in privacy, and while we may share some information we always keep some things close to us. We also tend to be quiet, deep, and emotionally complex; we like to keep to ourselves.
Miseducation number 5: The Scorpio is weak pretending to be strong.
They say Scorpio’s are: jealous, vengeful, overbearing, sarcastic, sexually immoral, intolerant, violent, secretive, and complex because the more weak we are the tougher we have to be.
I must say I have to disagree with the majority of that.
Scorpio’s are also known to be: caring, thoughtful, resourceful, independent, passionate, loyal, trustworthy, determined, sexy, observant, and great people. Sounds like strong characteristics to me!

Special thank you to @evathevandal for the inspiration for this post. If you have any ideas send me an email or hit me up on twitter!
The arrogant Scorpio
We are mistaken for arrogance because of our strength and independent. We are competitive by nature, and refuse to believe anyone that puts their pants on one leg at a time just like us, is better than us!
The asshole Scorpio
We are often mistaken for bein rude or assholes for our bluntness and honesty. If you ask a question, it would be fake to tell you what u WANT to hear rather than the truth!
Excuse the spelling.. I did it from my iPhone.. F’ing auto-correct!
The asshole or Jerk Scorpio….
Its a scorpios need for clarification. We do not want what we meant to say to be missed or misconstrued.
The Violent Scorpio….
I would say its more of a defense mechanism. We use it to protect ourselves and what is ours. We are not out right belligerent in arguments BUT we also use are words and those can cut deep too. I think in an argument or convo scorpios know exactly what they are saying and they say it purposefully. Almost as if our statements are calculated…
this is sooooo true!! glad someone is steppin in n setting the record str8 for us! 11/11
I never agreed with the “jealous” thing. I would say i’m possessive. And I don’t care what you do as long as I know you’re mine and with me. You can be across the room flirting with a girl i’ll even point a cutie out to you – Don’t Care, Won’t Blink. The moment there is a some break in our bond thats when things get heavy and stressful. Until then don’t care.
As for us being weak….*laughs* that’s ridiculous
Umm…i can see why people thing we’re sneaky tho, I won’t lie. I like to know everything about a situation so I feel in control. Also dont like to share with the majority. It gives me safety.
Violent? *sucks teeth* ridiculous.
I’m a Scorpio to my core. I’m not jealous, I’m not outgoing yet humorous. I can be violent if provoked. Like ALL Scorpios, I have a magnetic personality. Every Scorpio I’ve met have been very intelligent. So what that we are sexual by nature. Doesn’t mean you’re gonna see that side of us. But, I believe our best trait is loyalty.
I, a fellow scorpio agree with everything you say here.. I think its the others who are JEALOUS bcos v r better than them in so many ways – so what if a scorpio is sexual, we r neither perverts nor disloyal, have seen so many scorpios having really long , healthy marriages. Its the passion that makes us intense, if others see if otherwise , its their problem
I’ve included this in a big link on the ‘website’ above. (its my page on one)
P.S. Not ure about any you missed, but minus the slutty scorpio.. I can be the EPITOME of the NEGATIVE aspects of scorpio
(not sure if it will work but
Ow come on! Are you all really telling me that the Scorpio female and male are not the jealous/ aggressive/ easy to anger/ blunt/ hurtful/ sexual types? I have felt my power rise in my chest. I have seen it in the eyes of other Scorpios. I rarely allow it out but when I do I use it under my control. It has been hurtful to those who deserved it but from an observers view pint I was being a destroyer. I have been and still am a sexual person with a number that some consider sluttty. And do you know what? I care not! But what really pissies me off is when the star sign that trumpets blunt truth as theirs pontificates on like you lot did about our wonderfulness at the expenses of truth! You must take and honour our good points with our bad points, which if understood wisely are the same. Magnetic eyes don’t come without the power and danger behind them. Use your traits and be powerful from ownership of the good and the bad. Try and squash your power and you will use your tail internally on yourself to destroy yourself instead of creatively in the outside world. We have three levels to our sign, unlike the other signs. Disown your power and become the grey lizard.
It’s funny how people say a lot of negative things about Scorpio but NEVER say the positives things about us! I’m a TRUE Scorpio..Loving, Faithful, Giving, Caring, Passinate about what & those I love. Oh and may I add Forgiving! People need to get to know us before judging us! I find it hilarious at times but sometimes annoying. Oh but Sex….WE THE BEST! lol!
Well. . .I consider myself shy which is typical for a Scorpio but mostly everyone I meet begs to differ. Only thing I hate is that I am strongly attached to the main sign we can’t have long-term relationships with unless its real love. A R I E S I seem to attract alot and be attracted to them
Did anyone mention very leary of everyone,and NOT easily trusting? That may just be me? LOL! Once we trust you ,we are loyal to the core.
I am loving this!!!!!! for someone to defend us……thanks o Cierria……
