Someone sent me this and I though it was pretty accurate. Although I wasn’t too happy with the fact that the negative traits list is longer than the positive traits list.

Scorpios are the most powerful sign of the zodiac, and are ruled by two separate planets (Pluto and Mars). They are often known to be intensely loyal, passionate, and mysterious. They are often very attuned to their emotions and feel very deeply about things. It has been said that there is no “grey area” or “middle ground” for Scorpios. It’s either “yes” or “no”, “black” or “white”, “love” or “hate.” They can also be prone to jealousy and can be controlling. They know what they want, and Scorpios will do what they have to in order to get it. Their sign rules over death, and many Scorpios have an interest in death, the afterlife, and other related matters. This is not to say Scorpios are obsessed with murder and death in a psychotic way, but that there is something about these matters that fascinates them, sometimes in a secret way. Scorpios are typically highly creative, strong-willed, can be stubborn, and are driven towards success. They can be vengeful, possessive, and destructive as well. If you dare cross a Scorpio, don’t be surprised if they seek out revenge. And often times a Scorpios revenge goes beyond just evening the score. Scorpios rule over the genitalia, and are very sexual. They enjoy sex, and are often very passionate in bed.

How to Identify a Scorpio: Don’t even bother trying to identify a Scorpio. If a Scorpion is attracted to you, they will search you out. Your first hint will be the pair of hypnotic eyes that scrutinize you from head to toe. The Scorpio will then decide whether you will be accepted or rejected. Flirting is useless with a Scorpio. Scorpion’s want and demand loyalty, devotion and true passion.

How to Talk to a Scorpio: Be totally up front and honest when you meet a Scorpio, as they loathe deception. Treat them with the respect that is deserved and expected by a Scorpio and you will have a devoted friend and lover for life. In later years, when you tell the story of your relationship, you may think that you were instrumental in finding such a catch but truth be known, it was you who was caught by the Scorpio.

This site is crazy but there are some great quotes, I loved this one:
What all Scorpios have in common is intensity of feeling. Emotion not only rules, it characterizes you. You are passionate in love, and passionate about everything in which you become involved. You are an individual painted in vivid colors; There is not such thing as a pastel Scorpio.

Scorpio’s compatibility with other signs (these are also pretty true, at least in my opinion). It’s funny how most of my past relationships were with Sagittarius men. Now I know why none of them worked. Then again, I date two Pisces guys this summer and that didn’t work either. Hmm, maybe I do have a problem…

Aries
The meeting of these two people with their enormous sexual drive is an explosive combination. However, their personalities are very different. Both love lots of sex with imaginative positions. Unfortunately, each one has the same great need for superiority over the other. If they are both prepared to make the effort, they may experience the greatest love affair of their lives. The flip side of this coin could be a bitter marriage.

Taurus
Both star-signs have large sexual appetites and may have fun together for a short time. Eventually, the Taurean apathy becomes apparent and bores the active Scorpio. Added to this, they are both quick-tempered and find it difficult to be forgiving. They will end up having an exciting affair but an unhappy marriage.

Gemini
The Gemini is a good sexual match for the Scorpio. They are spontaneously attracted to each other, like bees to honey. Soon however, the intensity of the Scorpio’s emotions will get on the Gemini’s nerves and the Gemini’s flippancy and unreliability will irritate the Scorpio. They will have a shaky romance and a very problematical marriage. Only a very mature couple will be able to overcome the obstacles.

Cancer
The somewhat inhibited Cancer will be happy to submit to the passionate desires of the Scorpio. The Cancer would love to be dominated by a strong and deep character and, for this reason, need look no further than the demanding Scorpio. The Scorpio will inspire the emotional Cancer with their passionate nature and offer security too. Their emotions will last thanks to their personalities. The best prospects for love and marriage.

Leo
Both love explosive sex. Unfortunately, they are both highly argumentative and the Scorpio will soon tire of constantly admiring the Leo, whilst the Leo will be waiting for their supremacy to be recognized. Therefore tempers will soon flare. An exciting, torrid affair is possible. A marriage will be dramatic and inadvisable.

Virgo
The Virgo is emotionally and sexually too cold for the Scorpio. After a while, they will be able to understand one another on an emotional level, yet the criticism will soon drive the Scorpio into a warmer bed. The other scenario for these two signs is usually characterized by the enthusiastic Scorpio being inspired by the challenge of firing up the passion of the cool Virgo. Perhaps the Virgo will be swept away by it all to such an extent that they give up in astonishment. In these circumstances it is possible for them to have an exceptional relationship and marriage. Otherwise, The prospects for love and marriage are negative.

Libra
The Libran is too superficial for the Scorpio but they will be attracted to their uncomplicated physical love. The good-natured Libran is astonished by the obsessiveness of the Scorpio, but does not allow themselves to be drawn into it for a while. Soon, the Scorpio finds the Libran too composed and superficial. If the Libran is able to give up their flirtatiousness, they could experience a very passionate love affair and marriage otherwise a short-lived, pleasant love affair but an unhappy marriage will be the result.

Scorpio
A blazing emotional fire binds these two together and not even a torrential flood will be able to put it out. But, their lives will be hell thanks to their domineering and argumentative natures. An exciting romance, but a marriage will not last for long.

Sagittarius
The Scorpio with their deep sexual feelings is unable to come to terms with the unreliable Sagittarius. Scorpios cannot understand that Sagittarius is unable to make sacrifices. On the other side of the coin, they may experience a limited sexual attraction before the Sagittarius’s desire for freedom defeats the jealous Scorpio. The depth of the Scorpio’s feelings terrifies the Sagittarius. A short-term relationship will only work if they are both tolerant. A marriage is virtually impossible.

Capricorn
They are passionately drawn to one another. The usually faint-hearted Capricorn is able to experience every strong emotion ever dreamed of with the Scorpio, which is perfect for the solitary Capricorn who needs the security, which the Scorpio has to offer. This makes the Capricorn so happy that they even learn to accept the Scorpio’s need to dominate them. An explosive love affair. A very good marriage.

Aquarius
The intense Scorpio, with his drive for the passionate sexuality, is too violent for the Aquarius. The Scorpio, obsessed with sex, finds the Aquarius boring. The Aquarius is too interested in the company of others for the Scorpio. Bad outlook for relationships and marriage.

Pisces
These two complement each other extremely well. The Scorpio benefits from the uncontrollable imagination and effusive nature of the Pisces, who surrenders lovingly to the Scorpio’s passionate and sensitive nature. A great romance; their passion can last a lifetime. (Scorpio’s most compatible astrological mate).

travel part II
I leave for Stamford, CT Tuesday morning. We arrive Tuesday night, spend the night there, meet with people from 10:00-2:00 then take the train to Boston. We spend the night in Boston, meet from 10:00-2:00 Thursday with the people there, then take the plane back. We should arrive back here around 10:00 PM on Thursday. Then I have meetings starting at 9:00 am on Friday. Yes, I’m looking forward to this week.

Joel was right; there was a time when I enjoyed traveling on the company’s dime. I wonder when that changed?

Stumble it!
