Scorpio Secrets: Loving Them Is a Battle—and a Blessing

Erica Bell

What’s up, loves? Welcome back to Zodiac & Chill—where the tea is cosmic and the shade is always astrologically accurate. I’m your host, Erica Bell, and today we are getting all up in Scorpio’s business. Yeah, Scorpios. The ones you swear you’ll never date again but still end up texting at 2 a.m. because…well, let’s be real, the mystery is too much. Why are they like this? Why are they so magnetic—like, I’m talking walk-in-a-room-and-everyone’s-head-turns energy—and why does loving them feel like the best thrill ride you’ve ever been on, and the most exhausting one, too?

Here’s the deal: Scorpios in love are a lot. I don’t mean that as a drag, I mean they’re intense. The passion is—whew—off the charts! It’s like everything is on full blast, from the way they look at you to the way they fight for you. And if you’ve ever loved a Scorpio, you know it’s not just about sex, though, let me just say—yeah, the rumors are usually true. But it’s deeper than that. This is soul-level loyalty. Like, “I’ll hide your body” loyalty. Not actually! Please don’t come for me in the DMs. But you get it, right? They don’t do casual, even when they’re pretending to.

And if you’re thinking, “Erica, is it really as intense as everyone says?” I mean—yeah, it really is. If you’re looking for lukewarm or you wanna dip a toe in, don’t bother with a Scorpio. They’re either all in or not even interested. And when they’re invested, you’ll feel it in your bones.

Now, can we talk about the not-so-cute side? Because let’s be honest, loving a Scorpio ain’t all soul gazes and passionate playlists. There’s this whole push-pull, all-or-nothing vibe that can make it feel like you’re always either fighting for your relationship—or fighting against them. There are power struggles, control issues. Sometimes you just look at them and think, “Are we dating, or am I in an episode of a very dramatic crime documentary?”

But here’s the thing. Underneath all that drama is usually a huge need for emotional safety. Scorpios want to trust but it’s not easy for them—so they test, and sometimes they poke the bear. They’re gonna check if you have their back by, well, making it hard on you. I know that sounds like a headache. And, yeah, it kinda is. But if you pass those tests? Baby, there’s nothing more secure than loving a Scorpio.

Still, you gotta be ready to hold your ground. Don’t try to out-drama them or play mind games. Scorpios already wrote the playbook. You just have to stand in your own truth. They respect that way more than someone who just rolls over. So if it feels like a battle sometimes, it’s because they only wanna go deep with warriors, not just passengers.

Erica Bell

All right, let’s land this. Because even with the drama, the tests, the passion—there’s something kinda magical that happens when you love a Scorpio. The connection, if you survive the turbulence, isn’t just hot. It’s healing. These relationships have this wild power to transform you. Like, you see parts of yourself you didn’t even know you had. Scorpios pull the truth out of you, sometimes with claws, sometimes with velvet gloves. Either way, you’re not leaving the same.

Maybe that’s why people never really get over their Scorpio exes. There’s just something you learn about loyalty, depth, forgiveness—how to protect your own energy, but also, how to meet someone where they’re at. Not everyone can handle it. But for the few who do? Loving a Scorpio is both a battle and a blessing. If you’re gonna do it, do it all the way. And keep your receipts. The love is real, but so is the drama.

Erica Bell

All right, y’all, that’s it for today’s episode of Zodiac & Chill. If you survived loving a Scorpio—or you’re deep in it now—drop me a DM with your wildest story, ‘cause the cosmic tea is never-ending. Catch you next time, and remember: if you have to guess, the answer’s probably no.
