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
something that i Learned on ‘how to win/lose a scorp’….some SCORPS get tooo fool of themselves and Don’t have a CLUE on ‘how’ to BE human. they make a website and ONLY allow their ‘pets’ to speak. i don’t like little ‘girls’ that go to ‘our’ websites to ‘flirt’. one More thing, unless u R a REAL SCORP don’t try coming to these ‘sites’ and CLAIMING that U have ‘scorp blood’ when u R ANOTHER SIGN. who cares if u KNOW a Scorp, who cares if u have a 1 percent n yr chart to yell SCORP. yr still NOT going to b ‘One’. that ‘site’ IS fake. thanx to u all for some Descent acknowledgement toward REAL ones.
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.
Couldn’t agree more James. It makes me squirm with embarrassment when I hear the mouth piece scorpios yap about how superior, smart, deep,complex and tough they are, it seems like such a gemini or leo trait. If being a scorpio is the biggest thing you have going for you I feel sad for you. One thing I’ve discovered since I married a scorpio is that we seldom see ourselves as others do. Being with a scorpio and experiencing the intensity that we are known for from my spouse had made me see exactly why we are such a turn off for some people. I think scorpios have some wonderful traits, but we also have some horrible ones as well, we aren’t these noble better than everyone else creatures that a lot of scorpios like to boast about. We get fooled and conned just like everyone else, and it’s usually from the last person we expected it from, we aren’t always brutally honest, we can lie our asses off with the best of them, jealousy is an INSECURE person’s trait and there are plenty of insecure scorpios, and thinking that every other sign doesn’t get our complexity or are jealous of us is crap, they see exactly who you are, and they aren’t jealous of you, they just don’t like like you. As for the scorpio lover thing, soooo over rated, 2 of the worst lovers I ever had were scopios.
Well said and quite accurate. Its easy to get full of ourselves when we have a bit too much pride.
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……
Im a Proud scorpio chick ;p
an damn we’re the best ….. also let me add something….

just the people around us are scared freaked out coz we’re strong
an we see ppl as a bottle of water everything so clear lol
Scorpio f
Ive never thought of myself as “jealous” either, but I am territorial. So, I believe it’s all in one’s definition of “jealousy”.. If anything others are jealous of us because they’ll never understand that way of a Scorpio 😏! Orhers ignorance of who we are never ceases to amaze me SMh.
♏✌
November 1st here. honestly, Heaven and Hell….right down the Middle
want to b good, choose to b good but if i get pissed-off….well then, not much changes, except it’s on the ‘other’ end…and that can b fun too. we love, we laugh, we cry. we r just as ‘human’ as the next. all people can b good or Evil, it’s a CHOICE. people need to LOOK and weigh their Own personal ‘choices’ n life, hopefully, they will Choose to b GOOD, rather than evil. i Know the latter is more fun. but is it worth all the anguish that we bestow on others? we r a proud sign but even ‘WE’ don’t have all the answers….wanna know a ‘truth’? Every single one of us, have ‘our OWN state of mind’. to agree or not, doesn’t matter. i was born a Scorpio….what does that mean? i have to Represent MYSELF better than most because everyone else looks to ‘us’ for guidance…..we hold very precious gifts that isn’t ours to exploit…so when u do use it wrongfully, don’t ask y. these gifts? ‘being’ a Real Scorpio…those of you will Know.
I agree with the above poster who said scorpios possessiveness is mistaken for jealousy. We are passionate and intense by nature, and when we are involved with someone, we want to know without a doubt that their love is true.
I’ve often been told that I am anti-social. But I believe I am just very selective who I socialize with. Idle chit chat bores me to tears. But if someone wants to have a real convo that is deep and genuine, then I’m completely engaged.
The hot headed misconception really stems from us scorpios being intense and deeply passionate. For me, it takes a lot to make me angry, but when pushed too far, I make my feelings known in a very direct, intense and passionate way.
We are very sexual. I see this as a positive thing, however have had very few lovers who can match my sexuality in the bedroom. But for the first time in a very long time, I am seeing someone now who is as lusty as I am –he’s a cancer! OMG!!
nov 21 here , they sayima scorp/sag cusp , but im mostly a scorpio , all those misconceptions are true , we’re the most misunderstood sign , thats true , just cause we dont like to engage in boring convos label us as snob,..etc. jealousy only comes from mistrust , if we can trust someone ,which is rare , then they can do whatever they want and we wont care. weak scorpio? dont make me laugh.
I am not a Scorpio but a just as proud Leo in love with one. I think your website is brilliant. I adore nearly every Scorpio I’ve ever met. I do feel though that my partner will always save a piece of himself for only him. Being a Leo – I am delighted to share everything I know, feel and have and at times, I do worry my Scorpio sees that as weak. In fact it’s where my strength comes from. Thanks again for your insights. They are fascinating!
11/17 VERY PROUD SCORPIO!!!!
This is so true, it’s scarey
I think it’s important for everyone (including us scorps) to understand that life is about balance. Many scorpio characteristics can be seen as opposites (like maybe being jealous vs. trusting), but that’s just human. Scorpios are extreme… we have good and bad traits in us, but I don’t think we know the definition of moderation because we tend to gravitate toward extremes – this is why others might see us temperamental. There also needs to be an understanding between immature and mature scorpios, since more developed and in-tuned scorpios will exhibit more positive traits and understand how to balance our emotions.
My boyfriend is a scorpio. Andhe is extremely secretive and hide things from me.I found a nude pic on his cell phone. My b.f.di not send them to me and got defensive when I confronted him. I think he does have a perverted side.he likes porn and other things I just hope he is faithful.and I have caught him in differant lies as well.I don’t know if you reply to people but I hope I get a reply.I don’t understand him at all. I am a leo .
These facts are true one .. Bcuz we are loyal nd honest to ourselves and to those whom we love and care. Doesnt’ matter what’s ppl think about us..
Jeez Louise never met a bunch of people more full of themselves than here, unreal…who do you thank you are the 300 Spartans or what!
If folks trumpet you negative and I mean horrendously negative qualities it’s because they are the ones you dickheads display and wear the most…
Too many walking wounded at the hands of you Scorps, but do go on and lick your genitals collectively!
The lying scorpion
I believe many people are mistrusting, and cautious of scorpios. I think people mistake us as liars because we have mystery, and because they cannot SEE that mystery revealed before them, they fear it. People are known to fear what they do not understand. ( maybe just me ) Scorpios LOVE what they do not understand, always needing something new to investigate, a new puzzle to solve, a hidden meaning to find, a secret of the mind to unravel, SOMETHING. And then you put that together with our ability to see behind truths, and spot falsehoods or feel half-truths with our instinct, People want to display their own lies as truth, and when contested, will cry liar. I personally was very rowdy teenager, and did a lot of wrong, but went to a juvenille prison for 2 yrs, reflected on my thoughts, actions and decisions ALOT and came out 2008 a completely different person. I have alot to work on,But I think I’ve grown from scorpio to the eagle since then, I made alot of big changes in 2011, lost my way a bit at beginning of 2012 and was blaming circumstances, but then made a conscious decision to man up and just accept and create my own circumstances, and end of 2012- now has been amazing. I have done alot better in all areas of my life, and feel great. I am confused though I was born on November 6 1989 (Chinese year of the snake) also I was born in the early AM and I dont know what time but My grandmother told me about a blue moon that was out, and i looked it up the night of nov5th as a blue moon.With the showing of Ophiuchus, the dates say I am a Libra now, But how is that possible?? and aren’t the Libra the scorpions claws? so As one am i still connected to the scorpio-Ophiuchus( serpent holding stuff? I feel like I need to talk with people who know more about this than me, I need to find something that I cant see at the moment pertaining this subject. Thank you for this page btw, very relateable and gives me insight on other scorpios and everyone likes to know they are not alone in a struggle.
I must agree with these informations. I remember once when I was sitting in the classroom during math class and the classmates started talking about horoscope and asked oen another which zodiac signs they where in. And then when they asked me and said that I was a Scorpio, they all looked at each other and was like “ooh, she’s a scorpio” and I knew exactly why, because of the reputation of us being “Too sexual”. I must say, I like being seductive and sexual, but not all the time, I actually am my sexual side towards a guy I really like. Sexual things is something I keep to myself and only show it to my partner.
When it comes to jealousy, I must say I can be possesive but that’s only because I want to be sure that the guy I’m in a relationship with is really mine and that he shows that he is mine, then it’s all good. As long as I know he has only eyes for me, he can talk to any girls he want. I don’t want my man to feel like a prisoner in our relationship. But if I suspect anything that doesn’t seem right then of course I’ll try and find it out but would never jump to conclusions directly. I collect informations until I know that it might be time to confront him.
