Stung by a scorpio? Ms T breaks down his charm and tells you how to get your claws into him.

Inside the Scorpio head

Think of the power hungry Scorpion King in Mummy Returns and you’d know exactly how to handle your clawy friend. A Scorpio man craves a Brangelina level relationship that can satiate his need for star level fame. He lives on a pedestal and yearns to have the status of a demi-god and until he finds a woman who makes him feel like Zeus, he wouldn’t give his soul to anyone. However, when in love, a Scorpio man would give you your fairytale if you prove you’re worth it. He would appreciate trust  and would sweep you off your feet but if he catches you lying to him even once he’d throw you back on the ground and watch you writhe in pain.

Just like the animal, a Scorpio man wants everything in his claws. If you find his charm and mysterious aura intoxicating, be aware of his sting. Scorpio men are known for their jealous and occasionally tyrannical nature. They can be extremely moody and can show bouts of explosive temper if someone tries to take what they consider theirs. They are extremely manipulative so make sure you don’t reveal too much because chances are they would drill out your secrets without divulging their own. They are masters at face keeping and the original Scorpio may be hidden under 50 layers of pretense. But that’s one of the fun bits about being in a relationship with a Scorpio. It’s a rollercoaster ride in a dark tunnel!

Make his claws ache for you

1. Scorpio men are all about extravagant, high-end lifestyles. Unleash the diva within and show them you are in for fine dining and yachting.

2. Be unpredictable. A Scorpio man likes to have mystery in his life and he will love you if you keep him feeling like he is trapped in a Sidney Sheldon novel.

3. Say goodbye to flirting because once your Scorpio catches you indulging in ‘harmless’ flirting he is never giving you his trust back again.

Avoid his sting

1. Scorpio men can’t bear provocative or suggestive attire so it’s time to bid farewell to your tank tops and sleeveless dresses.

2. He finds himself drawn to powerful women with their own life, money, career and interests. So if you’re Plain Jane we suggest you dump those muffins you baked for him because he is already dating that CEO who looks like an Asian version of Victoria Beckham.

Match made in heaven

Scorpio man — Cancer woman

A Cancer woman’s loyal and nurturing nature impresses the Scorpio man. The Crab craves a sense of homeliness everywhere and will feel safe in her overpossessive Scorpio man’s arms, while he will feel in control and needed.

Scorpio man — Pisces woman

This combination often brings out the best in a relationship. The Fish’s understanding nature helps her in handling her Scorpion’s fiery temper. This relationship would be high on romantic tension and passion too.

DON’T even think about it

Scorpio man — Leo woman

Both the Scorpio and the Lion are extremely dominating signs. With each aiming to claw down the other, the constant clash of egos will make for a stormy relationship.
