Scorpio is the fixed water sign of the zodiac. Water is the element associated with emotion and intuition. That means Scorpios feel very deeply and rely heavily on intuition. That can make them moody sometimes, but their loyalty and steadfastness makes them more than worthy friends and partners. 

Scorpios can be a bit stubborn about listening to their gut, too. They may hold true to their intuitive convictions even when presented with evidence to the contrary. They may seem a little too clever at times, but are kind and sensitive to those they care about.

Scorpios value loyalty, so they’re most dedicated to those who show them the same loyalty they show to their friends. They’re capable of using their stinger on those they see as threats, but always as a last resort. Despite their sometimes temperamental nature, they’re dedicated and reliable. They will comfort you in dark times and fight alongside you when you need it.

 

Colorants for Scorpios

Scorpio colors are black and red, so we chose Black EcoGlitter for this deeply sensitive sign. This glitter adds a little shine to your best Scorpio projects, and because it’s biodegradable, you don’t have to worry about plastic pollution going down your drain. It adds a little mystery and charm to anything you use it in. Check out our Pumpkin Sandalwood Soap Project for a project that uses Black EcoGlitter.

For red, we picked out the Brick Red Oxide Pigment. A deep, warm red like the last band of sunset, this pigment will add color without being out of place in any autumn or Halloween projects. A little goes a long way, too, so it’s a great value. Use it in any soap project to add a little Scorpio flare.

The best fragrances for Scorpio projects

One of Scorpio’s birth flowers is the geranium, so we chose Egyptian Geranium Essential Oil for Scorpio season. This essential oil has a floral, almost rose-like scent that’s more complex than pure rose. It includes sweetness and tartness, along with green, vegetal notes. It’s both uplifting and romantic, which makes it perfect for the deeply emotional Scorpio.

We also chose our Dark Crystal Fragrance Oil for Scorpio projects. It’s a soft, mysterious, and alluring scent, with notes of warm wood, airy jasmine, and musk. It’s perfect for soap, candles, bath bombs, and more. Use it to create a warm and mysterious mood, whether in a steamy bath or a dimly lit sitting room. Check out the Dark Crystal Candle Kit for an easy way to get started using this fragrance oil.

Perfect Scorpio projects 

Here’s a great project to make for the Scorpio in your life; our Midnight Magic Candle Project. A sparkling black candle, scented with our Sultry Black Jasmine Fragrance Oil, this scent is perfect to set a relaxing or romantic mood for your favorite Scorpio. It’s also a project that you can finish in an evening and that’s ready to give, use, or sell in just a few days.

Our Toil and Trouble Soap Project is another great Scorpio project. It does double duty as a Scorpio project and a Halloween project! With great October colors and an easy but dramatic drop swirl design, it’s spooky but cute. It’s scented with our Night Violet Fragrance Oil, so you still get those deep, mysterious florals that we love for Scorpio season. It’s the best of both worlds!

Awesome additives for Scorpio projects

For soothing a Scorpio’s skin, our Water Soluble Aloe Extract is a great additive. It comes from a cactus that’s both prickly and gentle, reflecting the Scorpio’s dual nature. Because it’s water soluble, it can be added to emulsified skin and hair products, to water based toners, and to soap. It’s very versatile and is useful in most skin and hair products. It adds that special something to any Scorpio season project.

To help your Scorpio calm down, a bath scrub or soak made with pink sea salt is just the thing. A hot bath with some salts or a bath tea is the perfect way to get your Scorpio to relax after a bout of temper, and a scrub is a great way to help them keep their skin healthy and glowing. It can even be added to soap bars for a little touch of exfoliation! Check out our Twilight Bath Tea Project for a perfect and relaxing soak.
