The Scorpio man
The Scorpio man is described as: Intense, private and observant. Tests before trusting, and remembers the result. Astrologically there is no separate chart for men — the sign, its element and its ruling planet are identical whoever holds them. What differs is the reading, because the same traits get interpreted differently depending on who shows them, and that is worth saying out loud rather than presenting two natures where there is one.
In each area of life
At work
Suited to investigation, research and crisis. Poor at superficial collaboration.
With money
Strategic and private about it. Others rarely know the real figure.
As a friend
The friend who turns up in a crisis and never repeats what you told them.
Strength
Sees through pretence instantly and commits completely once convinced.
Friction
Tests people rather than asking, and remembers slights for a very long time.

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.
Every figure above is identical for the woman. That is the point: nothing in the chart responds to gender, so any page claiming a separate Scorpio nature for each is describing a cultural reading, not an astrological one.
Which does not make the reading useless — it makes it a reading of expectations rather than of the sky, and it is more useful when you know which one you are getting.
