Falling for a Scorpio: Should you take the risk or run?
Crushing on a Scorpio?
Scorpios don't do things half-baked. They're known for loving deeply, having big feelings, and bringing magnetism to everything they do. But as the most intense zodiac sign, they can also be, dare we say, a little dangerous.
Is falling for a Scorpio a risk worth taking? Here's what you should think about before dating or getting into a relationship with one, according to professional astrologer Monica Morales of OM.MNL.
Why you should date a Scorpio
They love deeply
Morales told PhilSTAR L!fe that Scorpios love "very deeply, even to the depths of the underworld."

"When they love you, they love fiercely. Scorpio is a fixed water sign, so there’s tremendous emotional depth and intensity behind that love," she said.
They’re fiercely loyal
Trust is a big deal for Scorpio, and it's something that you have to earn.
"But once they’ve chosen you and allowed you past their walls, you have someone who can be incredibly devoted," Morales said. "Fixed signs have staying power, and Scorpios don’t easily give up on people they genuinely love."
They’re passionate lovers
"Scorpio's reputation for sex goes much deeper than physical attraction," per Morales. For Scorpio, intimacy is "about feeling and sharing, emotionally and physically. They crave that depth of connection."
"And when a Scorpio trusts you enough to let their guard down, the passion can be extraordinary," she added.
They’re magnetic
According to the astrologer, Scorpios "can be sexy, mysterious, and charismatic even without saying a word."
"Think of that seductive, almost dangerous appeal of vampires. They could be sitting quietly in a corner, doing absolutely nothing, and yet you’re so drawn to their magnetic presence that you might just be willing to risk a bite," said Morales.
They’re protective and resilient
Since Scorpio is traditionally ruled by Mars, they have a strong protective instinct, especially toward the people they love.
"They’re a fixed water sign, which gives them remarkable emotional endurance. They can stand their ground when things get difficult and don’t easily give up," Morales added.
Why you should think twice
They forgive but don't forget
"Betray a Scorpio who’s given you their trust, and you may discover a side of them you wish you’d never met," the astrologer said.
"As I always jokingly warn my students, don’t cross a Scorpio," she added. "They have really good memory. If you mess with them, they might just take their sweet time plotting their revenge."
They can be jealous and possessive
Per Morales, Scorpio's intensity can turn into jealousy or possessiveness.
"Scorpio’s emotional attachments can be incredibly strong, and they don’t always take kindly to someone threatening a relationship they’ve invested in," she said.
They're the FBI, CIA, NBI, and Pentagon combined
"Scorpios have an affinity with everything hidden, unspoken, and beneath the surface. They’re sensitive to emotions and energies and are excellent investigators," Morales shared. "Your Scorpio SO probably already knows who just texted you with that little smile on your face."
"And as a warning, they can be very strategic. They don’t necessarily reveal everything they’ve picked up on and their plans about it," she added.
Their anger can be volcanic
Scorpios may feel something intensely and decide not to show it right away.
"Even when they're looking perfectly calm, the lava may already be bubbling underneath. And when it erupts, it’s not easy to contain," she said. "Even we (as a Scorpio Rising myself) don’t like getting that angry because those negative feelings can be difficult to let go of."
They can make you fall a little too hard
"Scorpios can be terribly difficult to get out of your system. You’ll remember all that passion, intensity, and magnetism," Morales said.
"Dating one is the easy part," she said. "Getting over them when you break up may take an eternity."
