Sign Language: #ScorpioSeason, How to Lock One Down

“Seduction isn’t making someone do what they don’t want to do; seduction is enticing someone into doing what they secretly want to do already.” – Benjamin T. Russell

Scorpio (October 23-November 22) season is upon us, and few will disagree with me when I say this is the sign that you either love, hate or love to hate!

Either way, we’ve all fallen—or will at some point—prey to the wrath of a Scorpio. This is harsh, hard language to describe this sign, but dammit if it isn’t accurate. Those born under the sign, unless interrupted by a more awkward sign in their astrological chart, are the kings and queens of seduction. Loving a Scorpio doesn’t have to be complicated, but like everything in love, it will certainly take some work.

A house or governing body rules each astrological sign and Scorpio is no exception. Ruled by the House of Sex, this sign tends to focus more on the art of seduction than the act itself. When dating or pursuing a Scorpio, you can never go wrong with the below tips.

Realize that it will NOT be simple.

Scorpios are one of the most challenging—if not thee most challenging—signs of the zodiac. Why? Because they are guarded, mysterious creatures, and for someone who prefers a more open and straightforward partner, that can be a different kind of torture. If a Scorpio has caught your attention, be patient. Understand that while they may have a tough exterior, it exists because they are extremely vulnerable once they let someone in.

Remain mysterious, but not secretive…

In many ways, the Scorpio man or woman is a walking contradiction. They want you to divulge your entire life’s story to them, but they will only disclose information on a “need to know” basis. This contributes to their often sneaky appeal, and while Scorpios do have an aura of slyness, it isn’t without reason. Scorpios pride themselves on figuring people out, especially those who they wish to romantically entertain. If you give them too much too soon, they’ll lose interest. In order to lock a Scorpio down, you have to keep them intrigued. While I will never condone lying or game playing, I will say that a little unavailability never hurt nobody. Just be sure not to stay gone for too long. They’ll chop your absence up to disinterest or worse, deceit.
