So, if you’re waiting on an apology from a Scorpio, don’t hold your breath. RELATED: This Is the Worst Zodiac Sign to Marry, Astrologers Warn. Scorpios have many layers to their personalities and lives. They tend to play their emotions and motivations close to the chest so they can observe what others do before acting themselves.

Influenced by the warrior energy of Mars, Scorpios don’t have the same forgive and forget attitude other water signs have.

Scorpio is a fixed sign which means they’re incredibly set in their ways. This makes them very reliable as partners but can lead to frequent shifts in their mood.

Dating or being friends with a Scorpio is not for the faint of heart; it can take a toll on your emotions. But more often than not, it’s worth the effort. If you can get past their initial distrust and skepticism, you’ll be rewarded with a deep emotional connection built on loyalty and mutual respect.
