You would probably handle T.S. Eliot and John Donne with ease. As the sign of Death, you can handle the metaphysical and more abstract quite well. Books that fit into the categories of drama, suspense and horror will stimulate your penetrating mind.

Chocolates:

You are not fussy about chocolates, as long as you have someone to share it with!

Movies:

You have a yen for mystery, and a whodunit is what you would pick. You would probably want to crack the puzzle of the movie long before the end. You're likely to check out The Matrix, American Beauty or Eyes Wide Shut.

Music:

Intense and with a sting, you want music you can dive into. Try one of the weird-sounding trance music bands. Of course, old timers like Pink Floyd, Enigma and Guns and Roses figure top on your list.

Restaurants:

You prefer to keep a routine and not be bothered with big meals, which might take you off course and off your itinerary. Your strong constitution will enable you to try a wide variety of dishes.

Sports:

You are blessed with resilience and cunning, and would try a variety of sports that test your mettle and require strategy and endurance. Investigate extreme sports, marathon running or chess.

Television:

Always ready to solve a mystery, you become entranced by the slowly unravelling narrative of a thriller. You will also tune faithfully into detective shows and crack the case much before the show ends.

Pets:

Your Scorpio pet might appear mysterious to the rest of the world. The Scorpio animal is self sufficient, with a stubborn demeanour. Your pet will sometimes disappear in search of adventure, but always come back. Loyalty is second nature to these pets.

Once comfortable, this animal will stick to you till death, and pull you out of any sticky situation.

The Scorpio pet is also emotional and intuitive and can easily sense when things aren't right. You can count on your Scorpio canine to comfort you when you are down. Call that nosy? Well, maybe. This is the kind of pet who needs to know what's going on, whether it involves the family or the garbage can. Beware of what this pet might bring in! It could be a prize for the family or some tasty treat they've hunted down for themselves -- goodness knows, the Scorpio pet does things his own way.

Gifts:

The Scorpio loves mystery, so anything from Agatha Christie novels to a detective kit should make an ideal gift. The Scorpio also has a fetish for computer games, so Pokemon should set his pulse racing. Other gift items that cater to their love of competition and challenge might be sports equipment or stocks and bonds. Scorpio is a water sign, so gifts from the heart would be appreciated. How about gifting your Scorpio some jewellery or cologne?

Great gifts:

Aftershave, cologne, stocks or bonds, binoculars, mystery books, a diary, detective novels, a volleyball net, a reading from an Astrologer, a book on basic astronomy, an aquarium with tropical fish.
