It’s October!!!! My birthday month!!!! I turn 21 this year. But since it is my birthday month, I want to talk about how my horoscope fits into my identity.

Me as a Scorpio

I was born on October 26. So, I am a Scorpio. When I first started learning about my horoscope, I was genuinely shocked because I was nothing like my horoscope. Scorpios are generally ambitious, mysterious, and passionate. At least all the horoscope websites said that’s what Scorpios usually are.

All those adjectives are not what you would use to describe me AT ALL! That was back in middle school. As I grew in age, I think I channeled some of my inner Scorpio and I am a little bit more like the Scorpio they described. But I am still pretty far off.

One thing, I am definitely not mysterious. All of my friends say I am an open book. I agree 100 percent. Scorpios are also calm and cool, and most of the time, I am a loud and excited little creature. Scorpios are also known as excellent leaders which is also a quality that I have yet to discover in me. But there are a lot who say that I am more mature than my age, which is a Scorpio trait. But that really is as Scorpio as I get.

Me as a person

I used to want to be a “true Scorpio” very much, whatever that means. Being a “true Scorpio” in my definition is just anything that I am not. I didn’t hate myself, I just liked the Scorpio version of me better: sexy, always on top of the game, passionate, ambitious. It just sounded so appealing and so not me.

As I grew older and more mature, I have accepted the fact that I will never be a typical Scorpio, and I am happy with just the way everything turns out to be. Although there will be a little part of me that always want to possess those Scorpio traits, my horoscope doesn’t define me. I am a happy not-Scorpio Scorpio and I wouldn’t have it any other way.
