There\u2019s no harsh condition Scorpio can\u2019t handle, in fact, they\u2019re always pushing themselves to new extremes. Some of the motivation comes from their desire to constantly shock and awe. The need to maintain a certain level of mystery and intrigue that propels people toward them, that demands further investigation. The rest emerges from a place of self-preservation. They want to be the hardest, the strongest, the meanest, the coldest, literally and figuratively. They need a shield that can protect them in front of others, even in the most heartbreaking of circumstances. Their biggest magic trick is the ability to make their tears freeze on command before anyone can realize they\u2019re upset. They thrive because they can exert an extreme level of control that lets them make a conscious decision about when and who they open up to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Leo draws warmth from their social circle in the coldest months of the year. There is always someone to huddle next to or share a blanket with, some festive activity to be joined in or invited to. They would rather be out in a picturesque snow-covered landscape than to admire it through a frosted window. Leos are the reason people had balls back when everyone had to travel by horse drawn sleigh. Who in their right mind today would travel four to six miles per hour in a gown and furs through a snowstorm? A Leo with an incessant need to party would. Their modern counterparts are the friends who always insist you don\u2019t need a coat for the bar even when the thermometer dips below negative, and while you\u2019re contemplating calling an ambulance, you\u2019ll notice they are having more fun than ever.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Cancer is the mom who packs everything needed for a winter excursion. Of course they have an extra scarf, back up layers, and disposable hand warmers. There is nothing they can\u2019t prepare for in advance. There\u2019s nothing a thermos of spiked hot chocolate can\u2019t make better, and they\u2019re willing to prove it. They insist on being positive and preparing for the worst because they\u2019ve been caught off-guard in the past. Being in that position once is enough to make them swear they\u2019ll never allow it to happen again. Cancer takes extra good care of themselves because it leaves no room for anyone else to disappoint them. No one can leave you in the cold if you\u2019ve elected to be there in the first place. And once they\u2019re there, they make sure everyone else feels seen and taken care of. They right the wrongs they\u2019ve experienced in the world first hand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Taurus knows the cold is a luxury. Why complain about getting it for free when we pay for air conditioning the rest of the year? They\u2019re the sign ice bars were designed for because they know liquor is meant to be stored in a freezer and served on the rocks. Their aesthetic is Pierce Brosnan on a snowmobile, Elsa in her magical lair, the childhood innocence that believes that anything you could hope or wish for can be handcrafted in the North Pole, all combined into one. They know everyone on the planet looks good in a turtleneck, and boots have a level of refinement that even the sleekest white sneakers will never achieve. They quote Matthew McConaughey\u2019s \u201cfrost yourself\u201d tagline from How To Lose A Guy In 10 Days<\/em> every time they walk through a jewelry store window. They\u2019ll tell you to keep your tropical beach vacation so they can opt for apr\u00e8s-ski.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" SCORPIO There\u2019s no harsh condition Scorpio can\u2019t handle, in fact, they\u2019re always pushing themselves to new extremes.
