The Scorpio man in a long relationship

In a long relationship he is intensely loyal, protective and emotionally committed, and he expects the same depth in return.

In an argument, and after a breakup

He goes silent or cold when betrayed and remembers slights for a long time. After a breakup he tends to cut contact completely and transform himself.

How many men are Scorpio at all

29.9 days the Sun spends in Scorpio this year — the 9th longest of the twelve. The signs are not equal.
29.8 days of the year fall under it once births are weighted by month — October is the peak.
8.3% is what an even split would give. Because sign lengths differ, the real share does not land there — and it is the same for both sexes.

These figures are identical for the woman — nothing in the chart responds to gender.
