In agricultural world harvest ended, all grain is accounted for and stored in a safe place. Now that place that needs someone to guard it from thieves, pests and any other problem that could damage it. Guarding granary was first role for Scoprio. All their future roles deliver from that one.
Scorpio is a second sign that is ruled by Mars, first was Aries. That gives them both a martial character, but of a different kind. Aries is conqueror, explorer, coloniser, slaver, exploiter. Aries expands, constantly brining more land, slaves, cattle and other things to the country or at least tries to. In contrast Scorpio does not bring anything new, Scorpio defends what is already exists. Both functions have their uses.
In modern society, that long explored and conquered all there was to, there are now little to do for Aries but plenty for a Scorpio. In most countries military is now called defence force rather than conquest force, clearly indicating that it is more suitable for Scorpio raqther than Aries types. That said Aries could still find military enjoyable, sometimes there are expeditionary wars too.
Scorpio personality traits are directly influenced by their martial role. Other astrologers often call Scorpio, vengeful and dangerous if you betray their trust. In martial law and military ethics, loyalty is highest virtue while betrayal of one's nation is called high treason and punishable by death. Scorpios unconsciously bring these ethics to civilian life as well. Because of that they sometimes have trouble adjusting for much laxer civilian understanding of duty and obligations as mere suggestions rather than rules.
Another trait, astrologers typically attribute to Scorpios, is their ability to sense other people's character by merely looking or talking to them a little bit, a rather supernatural trait, kind of like spider sense. As someone who has three planet stellium in Scorpio I can confirm that, sometimes I do get strongly negative feel about a person who barely even talked to me. 6th sense just persistently tells me they are a trouble. Most of these are 6th sense revelations are negative in character: every so often I assume the worst things of people I just randomly see on streets. These assumptions however feel a lot more than mere conjectures, something just tells me I am right about them. Far not everyone triggers these revelations, most just pass with no detectable trouble or ill intentions, but enough people trigger it to get rather negative view on humanity.
Another thing astrologers attribute to Scorpio is their extreme value of privacy and secretiveness. Once again I have enough planets in Scorpio for that to apply to me as well. I use pseudonyms, many emails and often check around to make sure no one is watching what I am doing, especially if its something important like passwords for online accounts, especially banking ones.
When it comes to publicity Scorpio is opposite of Leo, Leos like attention and Scorpios prefer to stay in shadows. That is due to above mentioned privacy and secrecy concern rather than insecurity or shyness. That does not mean Scorps do not like to rule, pulling strings from shadows is a Scorpio or Libra's way of doing things.
Many astrologers also say Scorpios are secretive and have many secrets to keep. It is hard to ascertain whether this is true or not as Scorps are typically very good about keeping their secrets, but my money is on there are skeletons in their closets.
When it comes to Scorpio, rather than having Sun or Moon there, it is much better to have some other planet or planets in this sign. I knew several Sun in Scorpio people and most of them were too controlled by their emotions and lust. These things often got the best of them. Having something like Mercury in that sign instead will allow you to access positive traits and rare abilities Scorpio has without many strong emotional drawbacks of this sign.
When it comes to work, military, police or security will fit Scorpio rather well. That said Scorps make better soldiers and NCOs rather than offices or generals. Command and control is best left to Libras or Aquarians with their better planning abilities. Scorps could also be a legal adviser or even a lawyer who could figure out how to exploit law to the benefit of the company. Finally Scorpios could be an activist fighting for a certain cause or in a general sense an advocate for something or someone.
When it comes to romance, Scorps are rather skilled at it. They understand what to do to win someone over and are often good at pulling it over. That said Scorps are often dissatisfied with romance, because most other signs do not see loyalty as absolute as Scorpios do.
That said Scorp is more of an imitation rather than real thing, which can be both good or bad depend on your own disposition. While you can sometimes see that Scorp is not as macho as they make themselves to be you can also ask them to take act down when you not up to that. For more real people like Aries or Leo, anger is real too and cannot be stopped by asking.
Generally water signs are a lot more feminine than masculine, but Scorpio works a lot better for men compare to women. Men can play macho and what not to woo females, but they also retain common sense and can be good friends too. Generally Scorpio men has better idea when to behave what at any given time.
White female Scorps are one of the worst women in the world, unless you are into femdom. I can tell from experience with my mother, but there are also plenty of public figures. For example Hillary Clinton is a Scorpio and she is absolutely unappealing. Compare her to Sarah Palin for example, she may be stupid but she is much more girly and cute than Clinton.
On the other hand I know one Chinese female Scorpio and she is very shy quiet timid and cute. There is warmth and kindness in her eyes. She is completely opposite of what white female Scorpios are. Go figure how that works.
On a bigger picture Scorpio is a second water sign of zodiac, much like Cancer that I wrote about earlies. While more cold on the surface, Scorps are as emotional as Cancer. Scorps care about community and like to keep people together and united.
Unlike Cancer, Scorpio is a fixed sign, like Taurus and Leo before them. That makes them much more rooted in their ways and unable to adopt or see different sides of the same issue. For Scorps world is black and white, divided into good and bad, heroes and villains. That makes Scorps very intolerant sometimes. That is different compare to say Pisces universal acceptance of everything of Libra's shades of gray gradient marking where everything it better than something and worse than something else at the same time. If Scorp will make AniList competitor, they will replace the numeric rating with just thumbs up and thumbs down.
Scorp is the last sign or autumn and the last of the second quartet. After Scorpio come transient signs of winter. If first quartet builds society and second organises and runs it, then third and final lives/survives and partly destroys it, benefiting from the work, done by the other two groups.
Scorpio is loyalist and defender, who can turn dangerous if you betray their trust. They can sense danger as well as character of people around them.
