Scorpio! About Your
Sign...
Scorpios are the
most intense, profound,
powerful characters in the
zodiac. Even when they appear
self-controlled and calm
there is a seething intensity
of emotional energy under
the placid exterior. They
are like the volcano not
far under the surface of
a calm sea, it may burst
into eruption at any moment.
But those of us who are
particularly perceptive
will be aware of the harnessed
aggression, the immense
forcefulness, magnetic intensity,
and often strangely hypnotic
personality under the tranquil,
but watchful composure of
Scorpio. In conventional
social gatherings they are
pleasant to be with, thoughtful
in conversation, dignified,
and reserved, yet affable
and courteous; they sometimes
possess penetrating eyes
which make their shyer companions
feel naked and defenseless
before them.
In their everyday behavior
they give the appearance
of being withdrawn from
the center of activity,
yet those who know them
will recognize the watchfulness
that is part of their character.
They need great self-discipline,
because they are able to
recognize the qualities
in themselves that make
them different from other
humans, and to know their
utterly conventional natures
can be used for great good,
or great evil. Their tenacity
and willpower are immense,
their depth of character
and passionate conviction
overwhelming, yet they are
deeply sensitive and easily
moved by their emotions.
Their sensitivity, together
with a propensity for extreme
likes and dislikes make
them easily hurt, quick
to detect insult or injury
to themselves (often when
none is intended) and easily
aroused to ferocious anger.
This may express itself
in such destructive speech
or action that they make
lifelong enemies by their
outspokenness, for they
find it difficult not to
be overly critical of anything
or anyone to whom they take
a dislike.
They can harness their abundant
energy constructively, tempering
their self-confidence with
shrewdness and their ambition
with magnanimity toward
others provided they like
them. They relate to fellow
workers only as leaders
and can be blunt to those
they dislike to the point
of cruelty. In fact they
are not above expressing
vindictiveness in deliberate
cruelty. They are too demanding,
too unforgiving of faults
in others, perhaps because
they are not aware of the
shortcomings within themselves,
and extravagantly express
their self-disgust in unreasonable
resentment against their
fellows. They do, however,
make excellent friends,
provided that their companions
do nothing to impugn the
honor of which Scorpios
are very jealous. Part of
the negative side of the
Scorpio nature is a tendency
to discard friends once
they cease to be useful,
but the decent native is
aware of, and fights this
tendency.
They are fortunate in that
their strong reasoning powers
are tempered with imagination
and intuition, and these
gifts, together with critical
perception and analytical
capacity, can enable the
Scorpions to penetrate to
profundities beyond the
average. They have a better
chance of becoming geniuses
than the natives of any
other sign.But charismatic
"twice-born" characters
such as they can sink into
the extremes of depravity
if they take the wrong path,
and the intensity of their
nature exaggerates their
harmful tendencies into
vices far greater than the
normal. Rebelliousness against
all conventions, political
extremism to the point where
hatred of the Establishment
makes them utterly unscrupulous
terrorists. Brooding resentment,
aggressive and sadistic
brutality, total arrogance,
morbid jealousy, extreme
volatility of temperament,
these are some of their
vices. At the other extreme
is the procrastinator, the
man or woman who is capable
of so much that they do
nothing and become indolent
and self-indulgent, requiring
extravagant praise and flattery
from those whom they make
their cronies.
Being so gifted, they can
find fulfillment in many
employments. Their inner
intensity can result in
the ice-cold self-control
and detachment of the surgeon,
the concentration of the
research scientist, and
the heroism of the soldier.
Any profession in which
analysis, investigation,
research, dealing with practicalities,
and the solving of mysteries
are relevant, can appeal
to them. So police and detective
work, espionage and counterespionage,
the law, physics or psychology
may attract them, and they
can become masters of the
written and spoken word.
They may be most persuasive
orators and find fulfillment
as diplomats or preachers
and, if they make the Church
their profession, their
inner intensity can express
itself in the spiritual
fervor of the mystic or
the thaumaturgy.
Scorpio is the symbol
of sex and Scorpios are
passionate lovers, the most
sensually energetic of all
the signs. For them, union
with the beloved is a sacrament,
an "outward and visible
sign of an inward and spiritual
grace.". Their overriding
urge in loving is to use
their power to penetrate
beyond themselves and to
lose themselves sexually
in their partners in an
almost mystical ecstasy,
thus discovering the meaning
of that union which is greater
than individuality, and
is a marriage of the spirit
as well as of flesh. They
are thus capable of the
greatest heights of passionate
transport, but debauchery
and perversion are always
dangers, and Scorpios can
become sadistic monsters
of sensuality and eroticism.
Their feelings are so intense
that even when their love
is of the highest, and most
idealistic kind, they are
nevertheless frequently
protagonists in tragic,
even violent romances, "star-crossed
lovers".
| Possible
Health Concerns: |
Scorpio governs the pelvis
and reproductive and urinary
systems and its subjects
are said to be prone to
ailments of the liver and
kidneys, stones and gravel
in the bladder or genitals,
and other genital ills such
as priapism. Abscesses,
boils, carbuncles, fistulas,
piles, ruptures and ulcers
may also affect the Scorpions.
| Problems
that may arise for
Scorpio: |
As with all sun signs, we
all have unique traits to
our personalities. When
these traits are suppressed,
or unrealized, problems
will arise. However, with
astrology we can examine
the problem and assess the
proper solution based on
the sun sign characteristics.
As a Scorpio you may see
things below that really
strike home. Try the solution,
you most likely will be
amazed at the results. If
you find yourself on the
receiving end of the negatives
below, it is because you
are failing to express the
positive.
Problem: Suffering
from an inferior complex
where you feel self disgust
and are disdainful of help
from others.
Solution: You
should try to admit that
others, as well as yourself,
have weakness and then practice
forgiving those weaknesses
until you notice them becoming
less and less. Unbend and
accept that you can be helped
in your problems.
Problem: After
you get everyone to agree
with you and you get your
own way, you are still not
satisfied with the results.
Solution: Looking
deeply within will show
you that: having reached
the point where you have
nothing more to want for
in a given situation you
then realize just what you
were really after. Look
within first.
Problem: Disruptive
marital relations or a breakup
with a loved one.
Solution: You
should try not to be scornful
of what you perceive as
a shortcoming in your partners
personality and soften up
your rigid, unbending attitude.
Problem: The peers
in your group begin to avoid
you, or drift away when
you walk up.
Solution: If
you feel persecuted and
put upon you will express
it in conversation, this
causes people to be 'turned
off' of you so try to change
your attitude or, guard
what you say.
