With Mars as its ruling planet, Scorpios are more concerned with the emotional reality rather than perfection, in a relationship. They prefer to undergo and see how things are, rather than how they should be ideally. A Scorpio gives immense importance to truth in his/her life and can easily detect when someone is lying to them or being honest about things, views or opinions, be it a relationship or a business dealing.

But there can be instances where a person may not be lying to them intentionally. It is during these circumstances that Scorpios should adapt themselves to accepting and perceiving what others may be going through, or the reasons or situations which led them to lie to them.

Jealousy is one of the darkest vice of Scorpios. Stricken with green envy, this is the feeling which can adversely easily affect their personal relationships as well as their relations with their friends and acquaintance. Even the success, assets or accomplishments of their colleagues at their work place are not mostly taken well by them.

Although it is a negative trait, if cultivated positively, this envy can drive Scorpios to achieve the unattainable. They can use their jealousy to be more driven and aim higher to achieve more, as all the vices can be turned into virtues, if the intentions are right.

Scorpios are said to be highly sex driven, which can be due to the fact that the vital parts of their body are ruled by Pluto, thus giving Scorpio a reputation of being highly sexed than all the other sun signs.

This drive can be expressed in a number of ways by different Scorpios. They can either indulge themselves into sports or an extremely aggressive attitude when in business; they may work passionately towards becoming the ideal housewife or parent or even groom themselves well enough to become fashion icons.

Scorpios are a gifted Sun Sign and have the ability to excel in almost any field or profession. Their internal passion and strength can lead them to become cold, strong willed and detached, which are just some of the qualities required to become good surgeons.

If they try and get their vices to turn into their virtues, theirs can a focused approach to their work, something which is apt for the job of a researcher or a scientist, or further more, military services.
