Scorpio Woman Personality, Traits & Characteristics
Scorpio women have a very clear vision of themselves and what they want for their lives. Nothing will turn their heads from this path, and they are in control of exactly where they are going. Their determination and single-mindedness can make them seem like they are hard people, especially when combined with their sharp tongue. But nothing could be further than the truth. They are deeply sensitive, but they have learned to keep those parts of themselves to themselves as protection.
Scorpio women tend to be secretive and don’t like other people to know what they are up to. But at the same time, they like to know everything about everyone and are often snooping and gossiping. This is because they believe in evidence-based assessments and rational decision making, so they need to know as much as they can in order to make the best possible decisions.
