I told my scorpio about how my mother is contemplating about selling the place we are living in now. I don't make nearly as much to move out yet (I can but after all the necessary expenses, I would literally have scrap to live on). My mother and I had a long history of being on different levels and not getting along. Her reasoning for selling is because she's really the only one living there and paying rent there, especially now since I go over to spend the weekend nights with my BF and I stay there for 3 nights out of the week. My mother's criterias for "leaving me the apartment" that we currently live in is to have me pay her MORE than the maintenance fees monthly. Her reasoning is that, over time, the excess amount I've paid her would go towards the cost of the actual current market price for the co-op. That is alot. My scorpio bf has his own place and is doing pretty okay himself. I didn't dare ask him about moving in. I asked him INDIRECTLY though. I asked him "Can you live with someone else?" His answer was "I don't know". After telling him my problem with my mother, and him being silent the whole time (probably analyzing everything) he hugged me and said "At least you have me." I asked, "What do you mean?" Him: "At least you have me..you can count on me, you know?" Me: "Can I really count on you..?" Him: "Ya, You can count on me like the way I count on you." Me: "When was the last time you had to count on me for something?" He thinks for a bit. "I don't remember.." *silence* Him: "But you know...I can count on you to do things for me..like..you're always helping me clean my place whenever you're over.." Then another silence. Him: *mutters under his breath* "I need you..." Me: "what?" And he would never repeat it again. Sorry for the super long story. What do you guys think? Should I bring up and ask him directly about living together? I really don't want to and feel maybe it's too early for him. I, on the other hand, have no problem with that. But we've only been dating for 6 months. What are your experiences living with a scorpio and what were the circumstances? Are they easy to live with or hard? (Probably needs ALOT of space?)

I'm not a Scorpio sun so take what I say as you will... I am Scorpio riser and pluto aspects my sun as well as my moon, for me living with people is extremely difficult and it all boils down to the needing space thing. IP: Logged |

Scorpio? Space? Lol I would expect them to be really needy and like smothering (if they're into you enough). Space is more like virgo, sag or gemini.Oh! And omg! He's SO cute. <3 get married already! Lmfao jks.

LOL mintgirl, you know our situation pretty well! hhahahaha. Marriage with him? I want to, deep down. However, he is really not ready for that. Dude doesn't even know what he wants to eat for dinner each day..comon..haha As for the cute part, maybe his inner child moon in aries, or his moon trine venus. haha. IP: Logged |

He's pretty like 'little boy lost' around you. It's actually pretty fricking adorable. And I'd probably not move in with him though. I think having space keeps the relationship sane haha. IP: Logged |

I'm also a Scorpio ASC, Pluto, Venus and Mercury...all in my 1st house..so perhaps I can understand relate to space. I don't want him to feel like I am tying him down, which is what I think he is afraid of...losing his freedom (as is most men) IP: Logged |

I guess it depends on his other placements, but I tend to agree with PlutonianGemini, Scorpio people need a LOT of space, and living with them can be difficult.IP: Logged |

Good point..but I would like to mingle down to that one day. Of course, that will take some time. Yes he's like a kid like that sometimes. I got upset once about work and I said "I want to change my life cuz I'm very unhappy about everything." His reaction was "You're unhappy?? about everything in your life?? Like what??" *Panic* Him: "ok ok, lets talk about it, are you free Friday??? Saturday???" Him: "As for you saying you're not happy, is it related to me???" IP: Logged |

Hmm ya, I could already sense that and knew that from the start when I obsessively researched about scorpios and his natal chart..lol..*guilty* Sun conjunct Saturn in Scorpio 12th house along with his pluto. Merc/Venus in Sag, ASC probably Sag, venus in 1st House. Mars in Capricorn (exalted?) In the 2nd house. Moon in Aries. His chart ruler seems to be his mars in Cap..for some reason I don't know but that's what some ppl have said. IP: Logged |

Living with a Scorpio. Well, each one is different so I'll just share based on the only experience I've had living with one. My old roommate, we lived together 5 years ago, for a lease term of one year. She was a Sun, Mercury, Pluto Scorpio. Very secretive, she kept a lot to herself including her drug addictions to crystal meth and marijuana. I didn't find out until months into living with her about these skeletons. She went through my things, read my phone messages and if I left my computer on she'd snoop through that too. She ate most of my food, had a horrible temper, and was going through some form of depression at the time. She was an alcoholic and I had to drag her into our apartment many times after finding her passed out in the hallway of our apartment building. She was incredibly temperamental and emotional and slept around, we had a new weirdo in our apartment on a daily basis. I could go on... Traumatizing experience to say the least. I tend to attract Scorpio's into my life because I've got potent 8th house energy. She was one of the unfortunate Scorpio cases. They aren't all bad as roommates, every person is different. But she did allow me to keep our printer when she moved out. How sweet. IP: Logged |

Lol wow...that's some crazy experience. As of right now I Only go over and spend 4 days / 3 nights a week with him. Enough? He once asked me to stay the 4th night with him too, but I said I couldn't cuz I had to go tend to family business. IP: Logged |

I guess that ex room mate of yours was the definition of an "unevolved" Scorpio. How.. sad? I hope things are better for her now, though. On another note, Starry, with his planets in the 12th he definitely needs some - errr, a lot of - time alone. Plus he probably enjoys his freedom (Sag & Aries) and I think living with someone *may* feel like he's tied down, even if he has deep feelings for you. But on the other hand, who knows? Maybe he won't be bothered that much and may enjoy it.

I have my Sun in 12th house too. I wish I wasn't such a libra along with a bunch of scorpio. His moon tightly conjuncts my jupiter..so atleast I'm fun??? I duno. Hard to change scorpios, if ever. Yes, he is scared of being "tied down". I even told him that. I said "Perhaps you are more afraid of being tied down than I am. You are afraid to lose your freedom." Bam. He didn't say a word. On the other hand, I'm already staying over 3 nights a week. That is A LOT already for him to be so "close" with someone. He has never had anyone like this before. I'd clean his place, because I want to. And he really always appreciates that cuz he knows he's messy but likes to be more clean and organized (Ha, men..) I sometimes cook for him, but not as much as he cooks for me. At home with him he does his own thing, I do my own thing. He wants to surf on his PC, fine, we don't need to talk, I'm doing my own thing where I'm reading, or trolling LL... I'm fine with that so as long as I can have my time to troll LL and do my own thing and he can do his own thing. We don't always gotta cling like 2 magnets when living together IP: Logged |

My advice to you, don't rush things, I know it may be hard because you'd like to be closer to him, but let him take his time, and see where it leads.Moon conjunct Jupiter is a very good aspect to have, his feelings are "exapanded" by your presence, I'm pretty sure you make him feel really good. And you both share a 12th house Sun, which probably makes it easy to relate to each other, even if the energies aren't expressed in exactly the same way. IP: Logged |

Lol it was a lease so I had to stay for the whole year. I considered leaving a couple months before but she ended up spending the last few months we had to live together with some guy. So I had the apartment to myself. She was crazy! But she did come from a broken home, she had a very twisted childhood which is so reminiscent of Scorpio. Being exposed to the darker side of life so early. IP: Logged |

Give him space and definitely keep your space. It's important in any relationship but especially so with Scorpios. My ex Scorpio roommate was an energy sucker. Drained me dry. IP: Logged |

I was roommates with a Scorpio in college (actually 4 Scorpios, since my roommate, both suite mates, and the girl who lived next door were all Scorpios- this was my first introduction to Scorpio 101 ). Honestly, she was a decent roommate, mostly because she was always gone. Lol. She kept her space that way I guess. She and I weren't roommates for long, since she moved into another dorm, but she was nice (until I accidentally ended up making out with a guy that I didn't know that she had a thing for, and then she tried to alpha-female me out of our group of friends).However, with this guy... Yeah, I think you'd better wait on the moving in part- ESPECIALLY if he hasn't offered. It's funny that you mention the part about being tied down. The Scorpio that I have been friends with for awhile now just used those very words. "I really can't be tied down right now."- Despite the fact that I hadn't asked, nor initiated anything about a relationship. But then, the entire night, even though he was talking about not "being tied down" he was opening my door for me, buying my drinks, insisting on driving, etc. etc. I just kind of looked at him and rolled my eyes. Alright buddy. No one is tying you down here. Jesus. He and I flirt and have sexual tension, but I know better than to try to initiate a relationship with a guy so resistant to them. IP: Logged |

Good insights..perhaps I should learn to just let things flow for a while. Cannot be uptight about everything!His: sun conjunct my venus/merc sun conjunct my pluto (yikes) venus conjunct my uranus (jeez) venus conjunct my saturn (ughh a bit more than 4 deg orb) sun square my mars (yikes) moon conjunct my jupiter (VERY tight) My: Juno sextile his venus Sun opposite his moon (yikes) Sun square his mars (yikes!) Moon trines his NN Mars trines his Chiron All of these are tight (~4 orb and less) His saturn conjuncts my venus ~6.5 orb IP: Logged |

holy shyou know. The sun square mars is really gonna play out if you guys move in together. Mars squares are usually kinda hard to deal with (unless it's to venus which gives it more a sexual attraction) but sun square mars will make you guys wanna choke each other sometimes haha. But it's good for attraction of course. IP: Logged |

I definitely agree with Mintgirl about the sun square mars aspect. I have it natally and I have it with my guy which is why we don't/wont live together. I can only deal with him and most men for that matter in small intervals

I was dating my Scorpio for 3 1/2 years before we finally moved in together. There was really no rushing him whatsoever.IP: Logged |

One thing to keep in mind. I'm a Scorpio and space is important to me, but what's really important are BOUNDARIES... it's not so much that I need a huge amount of space, it's that I need to know I won't be disturbed when I'm IN my certain space. I don't know if this will help or not, but it's something to consider.IP: Logged |

Good points!I know it was about boundaries too. I have no problem letting him do his own thing at home cuz I got my own thing to do too and we appreciate the "space" we give each other to do such things. Does that sound about right with you guys? IP: Logged |
