How Scorpio Handles Endings: All or Nothing. Usually Nothing.

Scorpio breakups are typically final and intense. They don't do "let's be friends" easily after deep intimacy.

Scenarios:

• If They Initiate: It's usually after a period of intense internal struggle or a major betrayal. The decision is often absolute. Expect a clean, decisive cut-off, potentially cold or seemingly ruthless. They need to sever the bond completely to move through the transformation. Little room for negotiation.
• If You Initiate: Prepare for intensity. Reactions can range from:
  • Deep Investigation: Needing to understand exactly why, analyzing every detail.
  • Cold Fury / Withdrawal: Shutting down emotionally, potentially cutting you off completely with icy silence.
  • Obsessive Thoughts: Difficulty letting go mentally, even if they don't contact you.
  • Seeking "Revenge" (Shadow Side): If betrayal was involved, shadow Scorpio might contemplate evening the score.
• The Transformation: Breakups are seen as mini-deaths and rebirths. They will likely go through a period of intense private processing and emerge transformed (for better or worse).

Key Characteristics:

• Finality: Usually means final. Reconciliations are rare and require massive trust rebuilding.
• Intensity: The emotional fallout (internal or external) is significant.
• Cutting Ties: Often involves blocking, deleting numbers – severing all connection.
• Privacy: They process grief intensely but privately.

Healing: Give immense space. Respect the finality. Trying to pry or force contact usually backfires spectacularly.
