Does a scorpion commit a suicide into a circle of fire?

The answer is not. This myth of the suicide is however tough. In fact it is only one bad interpretation what it really occurs. It should be known that a scorpion dies in a few minutes when the ambient temperature exceeds the 50°C. At this time there, the properties of its skin, in fact its waterightness, change in a few moments and the scorpion is dehydrated in very little time. The skin on its back, while losing its moisture will narrow, which causes to bring back the telson to the level of the prosoma. Some saw a puncture there, but there is nothing. One can simply save the scorpion while plunging it in water a few moments. This 'suicide' can be also carried out with a hair dryer besides.

I'm not sure how this has anything to do with the personality of Scorpio, but Scorpio is a water sign, and the opposite element of water is fire. If a real scorpion is harmed by fire, then this can be a hint that Scorpio's nature is not fire, but water.

Another interpretation could be related to inherited phobias. For instance, I am an earth sign, and I have a fear of heights/falling (air related?). I also have a sister who is a fire sign and she is afraid of drowning (again, the fear is related to the opposite element). Perhaps a Scorpio would have a certain fear of fire. Of course, this is just my assumption, and only a Scorpio could confirm it or not.
