Scorpio showcases elements of intensity, secrets, darkness, and mystery. The symbol of a Scorpio is the scorpion to highlight the sign’s hard outer shell and tendency to “sting” others when hurt. However, Scorpio actually has three animal symbols: scorpion, eagle, and phoenix. This is a feminine sign that undergoes plenty of transformations. The people of this sign are very loyal, blunt, seductive, and have a tendency to be drawn to darker things in life.
