You are incredibly edgy, energetic, and extreme, but not on the outside! To anyone who knows you, you appear the epitome of control and focus. Additionally, you've proven time and time again that you've got great logical aptitude and know how to apply it for positive results. This ability is something people admire, never knowing about all the heat that bubbles just beneath the surface. Take care, as you can become very scheming and battle-driven when that finally boils over, which has to happen periodically — it's like the vent to a volcano. Otherwise you'll get depressed and start shutting people out.

Today's birth number of 3 inserts an upbeat demeanor into this equation. The expressiveness and drive to succeed of number 3 work out well for you. Rather than be maudlin and bland about rationalizations, you can present optimistic ideas in clever and witty ways. This could easily lead to being attracted to careers in advertising, PR, and other positions that grapple with the public mind.

In relationships, today's Scorpio wants romance, but it has to be more than hearts and flowers. There's got to be fireworks and pizzazz — something that feeds your hidden intensity with regular wowing. Additionally, you often cling even to bad situations simply for the comfort and security they offer, so partners should be ready to offer guidance in these matters.
