Fixed Water at work
Scorpio is Fixed Water. Fixed signs commit and endure, and Water reads what is happening beneath the surface, so Scorpio is the zodiac's investigator and strategist. At work you are drawn to the problems other people avoid, and you have the stamina to stay with them for months. You often understand the politics of a workplace long before anyone explains them.
Scorpio strengths at work
Focus, discretion and nerve. Scorpio can keep a secret, read a negotiation and stay calm in a crisis that sends others into a panic. You are also good at turnaround work, whether that means rescuing a failing project, a business or a client who has lost hope.
Scorpio blind spots at work
Control and suspicion are the risks. Scorpio can hold information back to keep the upper hand, assume a colleague has a hidden agenda or nurse a grudge after a slight. Choosing two or three people at work you trust fully, and telling them what you think, keeps those habits in check.
