Phase
October 21 - November 20
Sign: Scorpio
Name: Scorpion
Ruler: Mars
Symbol - Scorpio
The symbols for Virgo and Scorpio
are remarkably similar, since they are both created from an identical
‘m’ - an ancient medical symbol. Both Virgo and Scorpio
are associated with medicine and healing. The two constellations of
Virgo and Scorpio are extremely large and easily identifiable in the
night sky. The enclosed shape in the symbol for Virgo and the ‘sting’
in the scorpion’s tale have been described as the feminine and
masculine versions of the same symbol.
Comparison with its symbol
Comparison with the Scorpio symbol,
the Scorpion:
Scorpions have "two lobster-like
claws "(1) and when a scorpion captures its victims with its
claws, it "inflicts a disabling sting with its tail". (2)
Scorpios are thought to be rather cunning, and sometimes revengeful.
Dual nature of Scorpio: A second
symbol for Scorpio is the Eagle. The Golden Eagle "has been regarded
from ancient times as a symbol of courage and power". (3) The
eagle represents clear vision, intelligence, and power. It is a majestic
bird, and also symbolizes freedom. Scorpios, with their perceptiveness,
have the potential to "see" things more clearly than others.
How they handle the power of this vision will depend on whether they
are at the level of a scorpion or an eagle!
Scorpio's glyph, or symbol, looks
like a letter M with a tail. The curves show the grounded nature of
the sign, ending in an upward-turned arrow, symbolizing the need for
action and the striving for something higher. Some believe the symbol
represents the male genitals -- the sign of Scorpio is strongly connected
to sex.
Color
Scorpios have a strong, often forceful,
yet magnetic personality and the colors which most appeal are the
strong, deep reds, i.e. CRIMSON, along with rich BLUE, VIOLET or INDIGO
tones. Scorpio's like to surround them with luxury and take great
pride in their homes, having good taste and enjoying comfort. A Scorpio
hates any form of deception, so furniture would likely be chosen for
its honesty and purity of design. Because of the preferred, deep colors,
the overall effect of the décor would tend to be somewhat sensuous
and dramatic.
Scorpio
Scorpio is symbolized by the Scorpion.
Intense and emotionally perceptive, they pick up on unspoken words
and speak the language of gesture. Deep, mysterious and magnetically
attractive, they yearn for emotional intimacy. If hurt, they really
sting – and they don't forgive easily!
Scorpio is traditionally thought
to be ruled by the planet Mars, but in recent years many astrologers
have labeled Pluto as the ruler or co-ruler of Scorpio, attributing
the intensity associated with the sign to the planet's influence.
This planetary combo makes for people who are motivated, penetrating
and aware.
On August 24, 2006, Pluto was no
longer classified as a true planet and thus became a dwarf planet.
It is not yet clear what effect this will have on the sign of Scorpio
but some astrologers suggest that Mars will once again (as prior to
the discovery of Pluto in 1931) become the primary ruling planet of
Scorpio.
Symbol depicts the nocturnal scorpion
who rose up to heaven and attacked Orion.
The sign of Scorpio is traditionally
ruled by Mars, although Pluto has also been assigned ruler ship since
its discovery in 1930. Physically it is related to the sexual organs
and excretion. It is said to have a feminine nature, and is therefore
more passive in its energy expression. As a Water sign it is connected
with the world of emotions, particular the deep primeval emotions
concerned with sexuality and survival. As a Fixed sign, its energy
manifests in a stable manner, giving great determination and endurance.
Planets in Scorpio seek to establish emotional security in a threatening
world. Hence the association with jealousy and passion.
On the downside: Abuse of power,
the darker side of magic, fanatic, destructive, self-serving.
Their good qualities include: A spiritual
outlook, ability to determine truth.
To consciously aid the transformations that will allow their maximum
soul growth will be their lifes work.

Pluto Rules the Sign of Scorpio
Key Planet - Pluto
Pluto is the Lord of the Underworld.
If this sounds scary, it demands a bit more explanation, for Pluto
symbolizes everything that is beneath our consciousness. As the key
planet for Scorpio, Pluto is intense and powerful, representing those
things that we don't or can't understand. And it is from these hidden
Plutonic spaces that magical transformations arise.
This is the most common glyph for
Pluto. It is associated with spiritual changes, development, and political
power. A person under the strong influence of this planet will experience
many different upheavals in their life, such as rebirths (transformations
and regenerations of both the spirit and the mind). It exerts much
force in bringing about changes and plays a key role in identifying
spiritual lessons during a lifetime.
Plutos energies are intense and when
unleashed it can actually change their entire life, for good or evil,
so much so that the person seems caught up in a whirlwind until the
phase passes and leaves a complete set of new ideas, ideals, or morals
instilled in the very core of their being. It also has a purifying
energy that allows one to rise to higher levels of awareness. Before
this rise can come about one must consciously seek to eliminate anything
that would hinder them. Sometimes Plutos energies are perceived as
destructive but they are, rather, a reflection of energy being returned
to itself this effect has often been associated with the subversive
elements of society and with the underground.
Due to the slow orbital journey it
is seen as a generational influence, as with most of the outer planets,
its natal house position has a much greater meaning. Its influence
is neither mild or subtle, it destroys the old and builds the new.
Pluto plays an important role in
bringing about many revolutionary changes in the life of Scorpios.
The changes, rather upheavals, can be of monumental importance in
various spheres of a Scorpio’s life-- personal, social, political
or business culminating sometimes in his spiritual evolution. Each
change from one sphere to another can be a landmark development. Pluto
takes 248 years to complete the cycle of the zodiac. In the long and
slow journey, it casts its powerful spell on its subjects as it moves
along its orbit. It continues to exercise its impact on the lives
of its subjects for generations, Its movement, long, slow as it is,
heralds a sure process of evolution in the life of Scorpios.
Element - Water
Astrologically, the water element
symbolizes emotion. Water runs deep; it seeks its own level and will
flow until it has found it. The cycle of water is endless with the
snows falling in the mountains and melting. The mountain streams join
to make the great rivers that run to the sea. The tides and currents
churn the oceans. Similarly, scorpions feelings are flowing as they
connect the present with past experiences. Sometimes the waters are
so deep that scorpions cannot put words to their feelings.
The water of Scorpio is fixed and
frozen, but it is a mistake to think that ice doesn't flow. It does
flow -- and with great power. Think of a glacier, moving so very slowly,
yet with enough power to flatten a forest or even a mountain.
Eighth House - Transformation
Since the Second House is the House
of Possessions, the Eighth House opposite it, is about what other
people have. This can include sexual issues, for they usually involve
another person. It is also about the ultimate transformation -- death
-- but not necessarily their own. It could be said that the Eighth
House is what we don't know and what we cannot understand. It is surely
a House of Hidden Power.
Scorpio Greatest Strength: Their
passion about their feelings.
Scorpio Possible Weakness: Need for secrecy can be isolating.
Origin
Scorpio's origins are as interesting
and as complex as the sign itself. Before the twelve-month calendar
was created, ancient astrologers viewed Virgo, Libra, and Scorpio
all as one sign. Once divided, they came to symbolize aspects of the
creation story in the book of Genesis, as follows:
Leo is Adam; Virgo is Eve, the virgin
(as well as the Garden of Eden itself -- Virgo symbolizes harvest,
and is an earth sign); Libra is the tree of knowledge, symbolizing
justice and right and wrong; and Scorpio is of course the serpent.
Since the apple hangs from the tree, the fall of Adam comes through
Libra -- hence, it is the first sign of the fall season. And since
Scorpio rules the reproductive organs, a rebirth occurs through Scorpio
that gives rise to the three intellectual, wise signs that follow.
Adding to the complexity of Scorpio
is the fact that it is ruled by not one but two planets, Mars and
Pluto. Of course, Pluto was not discovered until 1930, so this is
a fairly recent interpretation. It is widely agreed that Pluto is
the rightful ruler, but now debated whether Mars indeed has an influence
or not. We'll assume that it does, until proven otherwise. Tuesday
(mardi), then, is the best day of the week for scorpions.

Sun in Scorpio
Oct 21 - Nov 20: This place is in
aversion to the exaltation of the Sun. This means that the power of
Nous is directed toward hidden and occult matters, of which one of
the greatest mysteries is that of the nature of life (the Sun) and
death (Scorpio). Because of this, these natives seem to be more keenly
aware of the fragile nature of life and tend not to take it for granted,
living life to the fullest. Nous here creates an understanding that
knowledge is power. Because of the aversion, the will develops a covert
side that is not easily seen indicating a hidden agenda. This can
also be understood to be the 4th house of the Sun (from Leo), again
showing the hidden nature of the will and developing an understanding
(hypostasis) of the foundation of [their] power. They dislike careless
displays of power and pompous attitudes and tend to understate their
own capabilities. In addition, because it is not easy to see (aspect)
what motivates these individuals, they have a tendency to be underestimated
by others and frequently are seen as the underdog. The awareness of
motivation is keenly developed and often the focus of their life is
based upon a contest of wills. Those born with this are said to have
great determination and will power and will see things through to
the bitter end.
Scorpios are known for their intensity.
They are determined folk that absolutely throw themselves into whatever
they do -- but getting them to commit to something is rarely an easy
task. In fact, it's better not to even try to "get them"
to do anything. Solar Scorpios absolutely have their own mind. And,
their primary motivation is unlikely to be prestige (like their Capricorn
friends), or even authority (Leos can have that, too) -- it's real
power. Their power can absolutely be of the "behind the scenes"
variety, just as long as they have it.
To others, Scorpios seem to have
plenty of willpower. They probably do. Scorpios do know what they
want, and they won't go out and grab it at the wrong moment. They
simply sit back, watch (quite expertly), and then get it only when
the moment is just right. This apparent patience is simply their powerful
skills at strategy at work.
Scorpio isn't afraid of getting their
hands (their bodies, their minds) dirty. The darker side of life intrigues
them, and they're always ready to investigate.
In a diurnal chart, the heat and
dryness of the Sun are augmented. The dryness creates distinctions
and the heat purifies intentions so that motivations of self and others
are consciously understood and dealt with more directly and openly.
There is greater willfulness and open confrontation leading to quicker
resolution of conflicts of interest, but at the same time with greater
acrimony. This individual is more extroverted.
In a nocturnal chart, the cool and
moist of night tend to negate the hot and dry nature of the Sun. Intentions
become muddied and motivations unclear and therefore the native is
less willful and feels less secure and self assured. The native will
tend to act unconsciously and instinctively. This individual is more
introverted and tends not to seek open confrontation to resolve conflicts,
but will do so secretly.
Scorpios simply never give up. They
have tremendous staying power. They're not in the slightest intimidated
by anybody or anything. Confrontations are not a problem. In fact,
talk to any Scorpio about their lives, and they'll probably be in
awe at all they've gone through. Trauma seems to follow them wherever
they go. When Scorpio learns optimism, instead of expecting the worst,
they'll find that they possess amazing regenerative powers -- the
power to heal, create, and transform.

Moon in Scorpio
The Moon represents the physical
body, feelings, attachments and support that we have in this world,
but Scorpio often is about letting go and sacrifice and death. Therefore
it should be no surprise that the Moon is in its fall in this sign
and as a result of this, that the cosmic soul sees little merit in
lunar issues here. After all, what good are emotions and a physical
body when the issue of more importance is one of letting go, sometimes
through death? The Moon here, then, goes against nature. The Moon
is in the 5th house from itself, which is like Leo (exposure - lack
of protection as opposed to natural cancerian Moon which is more secluded).
The native's needs and domestic support have a harder time getting
the ear of the cosmic court. Therefore, it is the case that Mars as
lord of the Moon asks for these things on the natives behalf according
to its own martial nature. Others will tend to perceive this as manipulative
because Mars can be pushy in its requests. There is also a tendency
to take emotional issues personally, and to lack objectivity for the
same reason. The underlying theme here is that the native needs to
learn self-reliance. If they insist on remaining attached too long
to worldly supports, they may eventually succumb to jealousy and revenge.
On the plus side, the native is sharply aware of emotional issues
and has a deep understanding of human nature.
While others may find security and
comfort in material things, Moon in Scorpio people seek out emotional
intensity. No matter what, there is something very intense about Lunar
Scorpios. They are diggers when it comes to the world of emotion--they
can see beyond facades and cut right to the core of a person. This
ability to "see" what isn't obvious to the rest of the world
can be intimidating to others or wildly attractive, depending on the
audience.
Their deep-seated need for transformation
and rebirth can manifest itself in the lives of Lunar Scorpios in
different ways. Most have powerful, emotionally intense lives. Some
feel like it is beyond their control -- these natives seem to attract
emotional upheaval, and their lives appear to consist of plenty of
dramatic ups and downs. However, when accepted as an emotional need,
rebirth and change doesn't need to be so dramatic and overwhelming.
In some way or the other, Moon in Scorpio natives seek out intense
experiences. If their lives are regular in any way, there can be an
unconscious need to test their own strength and stir up emotional
excitement. Self-awareness and acceptance is probably the best way
to handle this deep need for emotional drama.
Doing things halfway or having meaningless
relationships simply doesn't fulfill them. Lunar Scorpios want all
or nothing.
Moon in Scorpio people often have
a strong fear of betrayal. They seek out commitment, and feel the
need for a partner to give up something for them. Some will put the
people they love through a series of tests, and these are not always
conscious. Their apparent suspicion can be trying for the people who
love them. However, once committed, Moon in Scorpio people can be
the most loyal and protective partners around.
Even the shy ones have enormous presence.
Their lives are emotion-driven, yet many Moon in Scorpio natives spend
a lot of time controlling and mastering their emotions. Their intuition
is enormous, although it is sometimes self-serving.
Moon in Scorpio people radiate strength.
Even in the absence of experience, they seem to "just know"
things. It would be difficult to shock or scare away Lunar Scorpios
in the face of emotional honesty and power. Some people instinctively
want to lean on them, and other less brave folk run a little scared.
Lunar Scorpios have exceptional "radar" that allows them
to size up a situation--and a person--quickly and expertly. This ability
to understand human motivation and nature can be too close for comfort
for some, and enormously comforting for others.
In a diurnal chart, the heat and
dryness of the day counteract the cool and wet nature of the Moon.
The expression of feeling does not flow as easily and there may be
inhibition and shyness. They can be fearful of exposing their true
feelings and needs to others, preferring an indirect approach to getting
what they want. They tend to be more self-reliant and sometimes it
can be hard to get to know these natives well.
In a nocturnal chart, the cool and
moist of night amplify the same qualities in the Moon. The lack of
distinction and separateness may lead to clinginess and disrespect
for personal boundaries. At the same time this allows for easier expression
of feelings. There is usually less shyness and inhibition but at the
same time they tend to be more dependant occasionally leaving themselves
vulnerable to being emotionally let down.
Many Lunar Scorpios are intelligent
and astute. Those that use their enormous powers for intimacy and
honesty are the happiest, and they make the most interesting and rewarding
friends and lovers.

Bjork, Eminem, Whoopi Goldberg (Sun, Moon, and Mercury in Scorpio),
Harry Hamlin (Sun, Moon, and Mercury in Scorpio), Elizabeth Hurley,
Avril Lavigne, Alanis Morissette, David Schwimmer (Sun, Moon, and

Stewart.
Stars
Scorpio Constellation Stars:
Scorpius can be seen in summer from
the Northern Hemisphere, but is best seen from the Southern Hemisphere
or southern US.
A large and important zodiacal constellation.
Among many bright stars, it contains the well-known red giant, Antares,
as well as many star clusters and other objects. Antares is
a reddish star and is considered the heart of the scorpion.
Scorpius contains many bright stars,
including Antares (α Sco), β1 Sco (Graffias), δ Sco
(Dschubba), θ Sco (Sargas), λ Sco (Shaula), ν Sco
(Jabbah), ξ Sco (Grafias), σ Sco (Alniyat), τ Sco (also
known as Alniyat) and υ Sco (Lesath).
The star once designated γ
Sco (despite being well within the boundaries of Libra) is today known
as σ Lib.
λ Sco and υ Sco, two
stars at the end of the scorpion's tail that appear very close together,
are sometimes referred to as the Cat's Eyes.
Mercury in Scorpio
Since the physical (the Moon) tends
to be deemphasized in this sign, Mercury can be quite comfortable
here despite its lack of essential dignity. Natives with this position
are capable of feats of mind over matter and have great control over
their minds and communication. In general, they tend to be quite reserved
but are precise and economical with their words when they do express
themselves. They can have a sarcastic or acerbic wit at times and
are suspicious of the motives of others. They tend toward conspiratorial
thinking and guard secrets very carefully.
In a diurnal chart, the dryness leads
to distinctions and separation and the heat to purification. The natives
communication may tend to be sarcastic. They tend to be sharp, analytical
and to the point. They are inherently skeptical and are less prone
to believe in conspiracy theories than their nocturnal counterparts.
In a nocturnal chart, the wetness
of night blurs distinctions and the coldness brings seemingly unconnected
things together in closer proximity. In this situation, logos is likely
to create connections where they may be none leading to conspiratorial
thinking and suspicion. There may be a marked increase in paranoia
as a result.
These people are on an eternal quest to get to the very heart of any
matter. This appears in anything that requires thought, and in almost
every conversation they have. Totally fearless when it comes to delving
into depths that nobody else wants, or even thinks, to explore, Mercury
in Scorpio is adept at learning the source and the core of any problem
or issue. They are blessed (or cursed, depending on how they want
to look at it) with the observation skills of a surveillance camera,
seeming to just see all and know all. Sometimes they can be quite
"dark" because of their tendency to focus on the false in
order to get to the truth. These people detest superficiality. They
come across as suspicious and can annoy other; more optimistic people
with their negative take on things.
Scorpio communicators are passionate
in their speech, sometimes even given to lecturing. Remember, though,
that they are just as passionate about giving the real advice and
help. They are quite willing to let others in on a few of their secrets--regarding
other people, that is, not themselves. The truth is, they have observed
things that many have not. If their observations seem a little bit
skewed toward the negative, they try to overlook it. They may just
discover that they've given some of the best advice around. They are
at their best when they are talking about things that they are not
personally involved with. That is when their shrewd judgment shines.
It is when they are personally involved that their judgment can get
clouded over.
Their intelligence is absolutely
instinctive. Strategies are their specialty. Their idea of constructive
criticism can be interpreted as destructive criticism, depending on
their audience. It can be very hard to win an argument or debate with
Mercury in Scorpio. They are absolutely driven to win, not just for
the sake of scoring intellectual points, but simply to come out on
top in general. Besides that, it is hard to deny that their thinking
is really quite lucid, at least in presentation. They may be gritting
their teeth, but it will be hard not to concede.
They'll staunchly support and defend
anyone they care about. And, their energy in speech (or sheer intensity)
can be motivating.
They are naturally suspicious, expecting
bad intentions first. Mercury in Scorpio people loves intrigue, mystery,
and hidden motives. If they don't channel this interest into mental
pursuits, they can end up creating their own mysteries. Others might
start wondering if they are paranoid.
Mercury in Scorpio loves anything
that challenges the brain and are often interested in what makes people
tick.
Some Famous people with Mercury in
Scorpio: Tyra Banks, Lauren Bessette, Lisa Bonet, John Cleese,
E. E. Cummings, Walt Disney, Richard Dreyfuss, Sarah Ferguson, Jodie
Foster (Sun, Mercury, and Venus in Scorpio), Whoopi Goldberg, John
Lennon, Demi Moore, Sinead O'Connor, Pablo Picasso, Puff Daddy, Julia
Roberts (Sun and Mercury in Scorpio).
Venus in Scorpio
Venus in Scorpio people attract others
with their intensity and willingness to commit. They have a strong
and concentrated manner, which suggests their feelings run deep. Their
actions in love tend to promise deep commitment and sexual pleasure,
even if they are not telling them this directly. Their appeal lies
in their focus on them, and their dedication. Venus in Scorpio seems
fearless when it comes to intimacy. Potential lovers get the feeling
that Venus in Scorpio will never stray, that they are intensely loyal
to the one they love. They possess them, and somehow make it seem
attractive to be possessed.
Venus in Scorpio men and women give
them their complete attention. These people are very focused on their
partners. Depending on their personality, they may find this unnerving
or entirely flattering. They have a strong need to control their partner,
although this won't be immediately apparent, and they may not ever
admit to this. Their body-and-soul love and commitment can be so intense
that it eclipses fun and makes loving them a very heavy experience.
Their emotion and intensity may seem overdone to those looking for
a more lighthearted relationship. These people take things to extremes,
and can be very provocative. Although they want to explore all of
their nooks and crannies, they won't always be forthcoming with their
own. When they've upset these lovers, they'll know it. Depending on
the moment, Venus in Scorpio will shoot the one of the most piercing
glares around, or totally blow up. Whichever style they choose, a
slighted Scorpio lover is not a pretty sight. These people can be
jealous of all of their attachments, but few will admit it. They're
not afraid of being underhanded in matters of the heart, and they
are experts at cutting through all the fluff and seeing them for what
they are. Still, they may find their conclusions about they seem skewed
and mistrustful.
According to medieval tradition,
Venus is in detriment in this sign. This means that issues like beauty,
elegance, social refinement and diplomacy are not well supported here.
Because Venus is being represented by Mars, the line between love
and hate can seem very thin. Love often takes on a magnetic quality
and can become a fatal attraction. Attractions tend to be very strong
and repulsions equally strong. In the event of rejection there is
the tendency for these natives to take it much more personally than
most. Jealousy and possessiveness are very common and they often expect
faithfulness even if they tend toward sexual promiscuity. Like those
with the Moon in this sign, they have a hard time with self-reliance,
letting go, and forgiveness and tend to hold grudges. When they find
the right mate it is usually a very enduring relationship, although
it may be somewhat rocky at times.
In a diurnal chart, the heat and
dryness of the day counteract the cool and moist nature of Venus.
Because the heat rarifies and purifies, there is less likelihood of
promiscuity unless Venus is oriental of the Sun. The dryness tends
to create social separation. As a result, these natives may tend to
play hard to get in romantic settings.
In a nocturnal chart, the cool and
moist of night intensify the same qualities in Venus. There is greater
sexual magnetism and because of the blurring of distinctions there
may be more sexual promiscuity. The cold groups that which is alike
and unlike together in closer proximity. The combination may create
a tendency for the native to not understand where personal boundaries
lie, causing strong attractions and repulsions, clinginess, and stalking,
to be a significant issue in their life.
Pleasing Venus in Scorpio involves demonstrating their complete commitment
and loyalty to them. Appreciate their guts when it comes to love and
intimacy -- they're proud of their courage in these matters. If they
can, and they deserve, relinquish some of the control in the relationship.
Let them feel they own them, without taking it to extremes. Remember,
though, that some Venus in Scorpio lovers can and will take advantage
of them on a subtle level, if only to keep them all to themselves.
Let them have their secrets and their silences.
Some Famous people with Venus in
Scorpio: Matt Damon, Leonardo DiCaprio (Sun, Venus, and Mars
in Scorpio), Jodie Foster (Sun, Mercury, and Venus in Scorpio), Bill
Gates, Shere Hite (sex researcher, published the Hite Report), Katie
Holmes, Avril Lavigne, Annie Lennox, Demi Moore, Puff Daddy, Susan
Sarandon (Venus and Mars in Scorpio), David Schwimmer, Alicia Silverstone,
Steven Spielberg (Moon and Venus in Scorpio), Tiger Williams.
Mars in Scorpio
Mars in Scorpio natives love to challenge
themselves to do the impossible. They throw themselves into what they
decide to do with concentrated energy and awesome willpower.
Mars is essentially dignified here.
This means that actions, aggression, decisions and forcefulness are
supported with Mars in this sign. Because of the "ongoing"
nature of the solid signs of which this is one, Mars gains the quality
of determination and persistence that is usually absent when Mars
is in the other sign of its dignity, Aries. Hence these natives are
persistent and determined with an intense unrelenting drive. This
position is good for those who pursue careers in the military or medicine,
particularly surgery. They are extremely self reliant, efficient,
courageous, resourceful and self disciplined, but they are extremely
uncompromising. They tend to go for all or nothing. Due to the aversion
(lack of aspect - seeing) Mars has to the other sign of its dignity,
Aries, actions take on a secret and hidden quality. As a result, it
is difficult to fathom their motives. This combination makes for great
spies and those who are most formidable as enemies.
These people make formidable opponents,
although often quietly so. They keep their cool and their equilibrium
on the surface. Below the surface may be another story, and they are
unlikely to easily let they in. Mars in Scorpio has the potential
to exploit others -- these people see through others, and rely heavily
on their gut feelings.
The sexual stamina of this position
is thought to be the strongest of all the positions of Mars. Sometimes,
Mars in Scorpio people are attracted to taboos, and their fantasies
may involve blowing the taboos to smithereens! They enjoy scenarios
in which the "other" is giving in to them, wants them completely,
and will do absolutely anything for them. And, their sexual appeal
is strong enough that they generally do get what they want.
They find it difficult to share their
partners, though they will likely never admit this. In stark contrast
to Mars in Libra, who is most comfortable with the middle ground,
Mars in Scorpio has a black-or-white philosophy of life. These are
the people who say, "Just choose!" They really are not comfortable
with compromise--what kind of satisfaction could they possibly get
from compromise? Real living, to Mars in Scorpio, is all about accepting
challenges and making changes.
These people constantly test themselves,
and, often, others. They make all kinds of rules and goals, just for
the personal satisfaction that comes from achieving or mastering them.
Their survival instincts are strong, and they embrace their own animal
nature when they are all alone with themselves, without guilt.
These people have a provocative quality
to them. This quality is usually most evident in youth, though it
is often carried over into adulthood in more subtle, controlled ways.
In a diurnal chart, the dryness of
the day adds to the dryness of Mars. The heat of the day purifies
the actions and intent. There may be a single minded or fanatical
persistence in the pursuit of goals as a result. The temper becomes
harder to control and there may be more frequent outbursts of anger.
The dryness creates distinction and separation, which might make them
less sensitive to how their actions affect others. They are not as
likely to compromise to accommodate others needs as a result.
In a nocturnal chart, the cool and
moist of night temper the excessively dry nature of Mars. There is
greater sensitivity and a willingness to consider different strategies
because the cool and moistness blur distinctions while grouping the
various possibilities together in closer proximity. The native is
more successful in military endeavors or other projects with smoother
uninterrupted execution. The element of surprise is frequently theirs
because of the dyadic nature of this sect and the aversion to its
primary house as stated above.
Mars in Scorpio natives who have
low self-esteem can become mighty twisted. Instead of beating themselves
up, they turn self-loathing outward, and end up manipulating others
and feeling resentful.
Some Famous people with Mars in Scorpio:
Jennifer Aniston, Billy Bragg, Leonardo DiCaprio (Sun, Venus, and
Mars in Scorpio), Mel Gibson, John Goodman, Shere Hite (sex researcher,
published the Hite Report), Susan Sarandon (Venus and Mars in Scorpio),
Howard Stern, Oprah Winfrey.
Jupiter in Scorpio
Because Jupiter is ruled by Mars
which is in aversion to Aries forthrightness, these natives may be
interested in philosophical and religious matters related to death
and ethical issues relating to secrecy or privacy. The native may
be fortunate with regard to inheritance or acquisition due to negligent
or ill-conceived actions of others. They sometimes become involved
in expeditions, which involve treasure hunting and be unusually fortunate
in this area. "Finders keepers, losers weepers" comes to
mind because Scorpio often deals with what is lost or let go. There
is probably interest in the occult and often the native finds him
or herself trying to find the correct path to follow under morally
or ethically ambiguous circumstances. Conflicts of interest and the
need to refuse one’s self for the sake of integrity is commonplace.
For those born with this position, the answers to life's questions
always seem to bring up more questions than answers. This is because
there is often a war being fought over the truth.
In a diurnal chart, the heat of the
day purifies the native's philosophy and the dryness helps makes the
path clearer for otherwise normally ambiguous situations. They are
good at handling the resources of others and may be fortunate with
inheritance. They may also gain from the rash actions or wrongful
behavior of others. They may be good at investigating losses and finding
hidden resources or lost objects. Archaeology may be a key interest.
In a nocturnal chart, the coolness
of night creates complications in the natives philosophical path because
things of like and unlike nature are concentrated together while the
wetness blurs distinction between what is right and wrong. The native
may be tempted to give up on morality and issues of ethicality because
there is a constant war fought over the truth. Justice when finally
arrived at may be poetic.
Saturn in Scorpio
The principle of agnoia combines
with the great unknown here. This has the effect of deepening any
mysteries that may exist in the natives life. Related to this, they
sometimes have a very morbid side or an obsession with death or the
occult. Some say that this position creates sexual inhibition or perversion
but Schmidt says that association happened because the French called
sex "Le petit mort" meaning "the little death".
Some have serious issues with lack of security or having to deal with
an unsafe environment. As a result, they tend to be gravely serious
in temperament and sometimes lack a sense of humor. They often feel
like they have been made a scope goat, suffering because of the actions
of others, frequently having to correct their mistakes. This is because
of the aversion Saturn's ruler has to its primary house. This sometimes
puts them in the awkward situation of having to take responsibility
for something without having the authority. They take responsibility
very seriously and work extremely hard to achieve their ambitions.
They pursue their work and ambitions with great intensity and can
be relentless and persevering in the face of difficulties. Their ability
to achieve the seemingly impossible comes from their agnoia (not knowing)
of how to quit.
In a diurnal chart, the heat of the
day counteracts Saturn's excessively cold nature. There is less uncertainty
(agnoia) about ambitions and goals. There is greater moderation in
routine and greater clarity in issues of authority and responsibility.
This is due to the fire of the day rarifying opportunities for breakdown
in command structures. As a result, these natives tend to achieve
above average success in corporate positions.
In a nocturnal chart, the cool and
moist of night magnify the agnoia of Saturn. Because the native tends
to lack clear boundaries for responsibilities, they may either tend
to take all responsibility or none at all. In the former case they
have a tendency to overwork themselves. If the chart is eminent, they
achieve great success. If not, they achieve censure for overstepping
their bounds while another takes the credit. In the latter case, they
may become outcasts, vagabonds or homeless developing an acute hatred
for aristocracy.
Uranus in Scorpio
Uranus was last in Scorpio between
1975 and 1981. During this time the first personal computers were
being developed, consumer electronics were becoming more compact and
videotape recordings were made possible. Some say that Uranus is exalted
in this sign. This is probably because Scorpio was associated with
change by psychological astrologers who were uncomfortable with Scorpio's
negative "death" image. All signs involve change, but the
change for Scorpio is more dramatic. Uranus is also an indicator of
sudden change and surprises and hence the match. The scientific symbol
for Uranus is the circle with a dot in the center with an upward pointing
arrow. It is like combining the Sun and Mars into one symbol. Both
the Sun and Mars are exceedingly hot and dry in nature. This generation
will probably have a rebellious undercurrent and will probably try
to upset the status quo more than most generations. Many will have
a talent for computer science, engineering and mechanics and may make
breakthroughs in artificial intelligence.
In a diurnal chart, the hot and dry
nature of the day amplifies these same qualities in Uranus. The result
is that some individuals with close aspects from inner planets will
be prone to open rebellion. They will tend to stick to their principles.
They generally have good insight into how to use technology to their
advantage and make excellent engineers who are able to work around
difficult problems.
In a nocturnal chart, the cool and
moist of night inhibit the hot and dry nature of Uranus so that rebellion
is either more covert or eliminated. For those with close aspects
from inner planets to Uranus in this sign, change may be abrupt and
tend to take them completely by surprise because they were not conscious
of the need for it.
Neptune in Scorpio
Neptune was last in this sign between
1956 and 1970. This period started with the mob being attacked and
brought down from within by those who betrayed confidence. . The beginnings
of the drug culture took root in ghettos and then spread to the hippie
movement as a result. Many born during this time have escapist tendencies.
A few will be mystical and visionary and may have psychic ability
or musical talent. They tend to set themselves against the status
quo and may appear degenerate if Neptune has great importance in the
chart.
In a diurnal chart, the heat and
dryness of the day counteract the cool and moist nature of Neptune.
These natives will be less sensitive to drugs and less likely to abuse
them than their nocturnal counterparts. They are less prone to psychic
ability but may be talented in music if they have close aspects from
inner planets to Neptune here.
In a nocturnal chart, the cool and
moist of night amplify these same qualities in Neptune. This half
of the generation will tend to be more escapist and drug oriented.
Some will instead have psychic ability and seek to use their talents
in an inspiring manner.
Pluto in Scorpio
According to Dane Rudhyar, Pluto
is at its fastest pace in this sign, which he called its "seed
phase. Pluto was in Scorpio between 1983 and 1995. This period sparked
the beginning of the new age movement and great advances in medical
technology and genetics. Homeopathic and other alternative medical
practices were flourishing. Communism collapsed and was hailed as
a victory for democracy, but led to greater uncertainty and insecurity
because the enemy became "unknown" able to advance through
terrorism. Concern developed over nuclear power, the Chernobyl disaster
and "loose nukes". The symbolism speaks of generation and
corruption and the power of life and death. Those with close aspects
from the inner planets to Pluto in this sign may have important roles
in national security or intelligence agencies. Some may become famous
by personal association with national incidents.
Astrology
Scorpio is an astrological sign,
which is associated with the constellation Scorpios. Under the tropical
zodiac, Scorpio is occupied by the Sun from October 23 to November
22, and under the sidereal zodiac, it is currently from November 16
to December 15. The opposite sign to Scorpio is Taurus, and both signs
are commonly considered the most sexually responsive of all zodiacal
members.
Scorpio is the eighth sign of the
Zodiac and associated with intensity and power. Individuals born under
this sign are thought to have a complex, emotional, analytical, focused,
determined, hypnotic, and self-contained character, but one which
is also prone to extremity, jealousy, possessiveness, stubbornness,
and cruelty.
In some astrology, Scorpio is associated
with the classical element Water, and thus called a Water Sign (with
Cancer and Pisces). Scorpio is also one of the four Fixed signs (along
with Taurus, Leo, and Aquarius). Its polar opposite is Taurus. Scorpio
is the domicile of Mars (since its discovery, Pluto has been considered
Scorpio's ruling or co-ruling planet by many modern astrologers).
Each astrological sign is assigned a part of the body, viewed as the
seat of its power. Scorpio rules the genitals. The symbols for Scorpio
are the scorpion, the eagle, serpent and the phoenix.
Scorpius (Latin for scorpion) is
one of the constellations of the zodiac. In western astrology it is
known as "Scorpio". It lies between Libra to the west and
Sagittarius to the east. It is a large constellation located in the
southern hemisphere near the center of the Milky Way.
Scorpio is traditionally thought
to be ruled by the planet Mars, but in recent years many astrologers
have labeled Pluto as the ruler or co-ruler of Scorpio, attributing
the intensity associated with the sign to the planet's influence.
Mythology
Scorpio resembles, quite noticeably,
a scorpion's tail, and a vague body. According to Greek mythology,
it corresponds to the scorpion, which was sent by Gaia (or possibly
the goddess Hera) to kill the hunter Orion, the scorpion rising out
of the ground at the goddess' command to attack. Although the scorpion
and Orion appear together in this myth, the constellation of Orion
is almost opposite to Scorpius in the night sky. It has been suggested
that this was a divine precaution to forestall the heavenly continuation
of the feud.
Scorpio - Latin for "the Scorpion"
(Skorpios in Greek). This fearsome Scorpion figured in an argument
between the wild, untamed, virgin goddess of the hunt, Artemis and
the legendary gigantic Greek hunter, Orion. There are at least three
versions as to the reason for this argument between Artemis and Orion.
However, in each version of the story, Artemis used her Scorpion to
sting and kill the hunter Orion.
In the earliest versions of the myth,
Artemis was apparently quite in love with Orion. However, because
Orion was in love with the goddess Eos (goddess of the Dawn) - Artemis
arranged for Orion to be killed by the Scorpion out of her sense of
spite, rage, and jealousy. In another version, Artemis used the Scorpion
to kill Orion in revenge for having raped her. In still another version,
Orion had boasted to the gods that he was such a great hunter that
he could single-handedly kill every last animal on earth. Artemis,
goddess of the hunt, used her deadly Scorpion to prove Orion wrong.
In many versions, however, Apollo
sent the scorpion after Orion, having grown jealous of Artemis' attentions
to the man. Later, in contrition for killing her friend, Apollo helped
Artemis hang Orion's image in the night sky. However, the scorpion
was also placed up there, and every time it appears on the horizon,
Orion starts to sink into the other side of the sky, still running
from the attacker.
Scorpius also appears in one version
of the story of Phaethon, the mortal son of Helios, the sun. Phaethon
asked to drive the sun-chariot for a day. Phaethon lost control of
the chariot. The horses, already out of control, were scared by the
great celestial scorpion with its sting raised to strike, and the
inexperienced boy lost control of the chariot, as the sun wildly went
about the sky (this is said to have formed the constellation Eridanus).
Finally, Zeus struck him down with a thunderbolt to stop.
The Chinese included these stars
in the Azure Dragon, a powerful but benevolent creature whose rising
heralded spring.
In Maori mythology, this constellation
can be Maui's magic jawbone (used to fish up the North Island of New
Zealand), the front of Tama-rereti's waka (used to ferry the stars
into the sky) or one of the posts Tane used to hold Ranginui (the
sky-father) in the sky. While three posts (Sirius, Matariki/The pleides
and Orion) hold up the top half of Ranginui, only a single post (Scorpius)
supports the lower half of his body. It therefore appears bent under
the weight.
The suggestion was agreed upon and
all the sons busied themselves to get ready for the departure and
their quest of the coveted kingship. The mother asked first that her
eldest son should take her with him in his canoe. Dümur flatly
refused, since his mother wanted to take many possessions the weight
of which would impede the movement of his canoe. Then Ligedaner turned
to each of her other sons only to discover that none of them would
be willing to grant her request. Finally only the youngest son, Pleiades,
was left. Pleiades did not object to his mother boarding his canoe
or her bringing seven possessions. When the canoe had been lowered
into the water, Ligedaner asked her son to load one object after the
other in his canoe and gave him instructions as to where to place
and fasten each one.
When all was ready, Pleiades started to row. One can imagine his surprise
when the canoe shot forward with the greatest of ease, without his
having to use the oars. The seven objects his mother brought turned
out to be, in fact, previously unknown sail rigging. Driven by the
wind the canoe overtook all the brothers' boats and in no time it
closed in on Dümur's canoe. Dümur now ordered, on the strength
of his right as the first-born son that his youngest brother should
hand over the canoe to him. With heavy heart Pleiades obeyed. However,
Ligedaner now played a mean trick on her eldest son. She turned the
canoe around and then jumped with Pleiades into the sea, taking with
her the yardarm of the sail. And so they swam on to the island in
the East. In order to sail at all Dümur was forced to fasten
the sail to his shoulders. This is why he has now a bent back. While
Dümur tacked to get his canoe on course again, Ligedaner and
Pleiades continued to their destination.
When Dümur finally reached the island and discovered that his
youngest brother had become King of the Stars, he was so enraged that
he wished never to see Pleiades again. This separation of Dümur
and Pleiades can still be observed in the night sky. When Pleiades
rises in the East, Dümur, or the star Antares, sets in the West.
The bent back of Dümur can also still be seen in the curved line
formed by the three bright stars and the line of fainter stars outlining
his bent body in Scorpius.
Orion Boasted that so great was his might and skill as a hunter that
he could kill all the animals on the face of the Earth. Gaea,
Goddess of Earth, was alarmed at such a boastful and inappropriate
statement. Gaea decided that Orion must be killed just in case
he might one day decide to carry out his boast. So Gaea sent
a giant scorpion to Orion and ordered the beast to sting Orion.
As mighty as Orion was, after only a brief battle, the scorpion managed
to deliver the hunter a deadly sting. Scorpius stung Orion on
the heel (at the star Rigel). Orion and the scorpion were given
honored places in the sky, but they were placed at opposite ends of
the great sky dome so that they would never engage in battle again.
Although there are other storied about how Orion met his death, this
one is the most common.
In New Zealand, the constellation is not seen as a scorpion, but as
a heavenly fishhook.
The Mayans of Central America named Scorpius "the Sign of the
Death-god".
The Romans at one time called Scorpius "the Lurking One".
The ancient people of Asia called the evil Antares "the Grave
Digger of Caravans".
The Chinese looked on Antares as a star to be worshipped as a safeguard
against fire. They named the star Huo Shing, meaning "the
Fire Star".
The farther south one travels until reaching the middle latitudes
of the Southern Hemisphere, the higher the Scorpion rises above the
southern horizon. In doing so, it seems that the Scorpion also loses
its image of being an evil creature.
Characteristics
Scorpios are the most powerful, energetic
and intense personalities in zodiac. They may outwardly appear calm,
self-controlled or even pleasant, but, within, they are volcanoes
of intense emotional energy.
When their energies are unleashed,
they cause stormy upheavals whether for better or worse. The Scorpio
plays a new role with different goals, morals and ideals in every
next phase of his life. The influence of Pluto assists the Scorpios
to identify their new roles, which become the raison de etre of their
life. Pluto’s energy elevates Scorpios to higher levels of awareness
in their chosen spheres of interest. Scorpios ruthlessly wipe off
any hindrance that comes in their path towards the achievement of
their goals.
Scorpios’ energies may take
a destructive route too, though this destruction may, sometimes, prove
to be a prerequisite for a new construction for the better.
The fundamental premise about Scorpios
is that they are the reservoirs of restless energy raring to burst
at their seams, or just trying to shoot up towards higher levels.
The horoscope of a Scorpio with Pluto in the natal chart may reveal
the true implications of its influence: a Scorpio is intense, powerful
and revolutionary.
A Scorpio has keen, watchful, irresistible
and hypnotic eyes, which appear to pierce through the heart and find
the truth within it. A Scorpio is a man of extreme likes and dislikes.
He is stubbornly outspoken and may make life long enemies.
Scorpios are passionate lovers. They,
may, however, release their intense and powerful sexual urges into
many creative channels like competitive sports or other fields of
their business and social activities. Intensity is the hallmark of
Scorpios.
The downside of Scorpio’s traits
is that they can be very jealous personalities. This weakness may
at times affect their relationships not only with their close colleagues
and friends, but may also sweep almost every people who are better
placed in any field, whether business, arts, health, beauty and general
accomplishments. A Scorpio can be possessive, obstinate, compulsive,
arrogant, volatile, indolent, self-indulgent, secretive and resentful
to the extreme.
This star is represented by Scorpion.
It is a watery sign ruled by the planet Mars. They are powerfully
magnetic, full of energy and full of intense emotions. Strong will
power helps them exert their will over other people. They are capable
of shocking others by their dramatic and unexpected ways. They are
seldom discouraged when their plans go wrong. They conceal their emotions.
They are idealists and humanitarians in their heart. They are ever
eager to defend and help the weak and the oppressed. They are naturally
gifted with the ability to control. They give little value for convictions
and they deliberately defy them. They are hard workers and they never
get tired of doing a difficult job. The are gifted with ambition and
nothing stands in their way of realizing them. They plan calmly and
over come obstacles with great coolness. In order to get things done
they may even break all norms. They are greatly attracted to occult
and mysticism. They are also very religious. In short they are people
who are destined to make a mark in the world whatever they choose
to do.
The Sun in Scorpio represents Secrecy
and regeneration.
Intense, passionate, brooding, magnetic;
stubborn, unyielding, driven by emotions; stands up for self, usually
covertly, manipulates power; understands deeper layers of the psyche
beyond the ego, unable to communicate this well leading to misunderstandings;
intrigued by the "dark side" of life Water sign ruled by
Mars. Scorpios' personality is extremely complex and contradictory.
They are serious, authoritative, jealous, possessive and they like
going into deep.
Thanks to their intuitive sense,
they are able to find out other people's weaknesses. Sometimes Scorpios
can be cold, introverted, polemic and lunatic, but beyond that surface
there are many good qualities, strength and they are always ready
to help other people. They are seldom afraid of something and are
determined to reach their goals. Among their most suitable careers
are: chemist, psychologist, businessman, researcher. They are very
passionate people, but in a love relationship they are rather contradictory
and complicated. When they fall in love they give themselves body
and soul, even though their natural restlessness never abandons them.
The Scorpion is one intense little
creature, with enough poison in its own tail to disable or kill a
much larger opponent. But the problem with this kind of built-in biological
weaponry is that it must be mastered in order to be used most effectively.
They Scorpios can use their "stinger" for self-defense,
using their powerful emotional awareness to render their opponent
harmless. But there is a sexual component of poisonous tail also,
and until Scorpio learns to control those strong urges, Scorpio may
find their self in uncomfortable situations.
Scorpio is the only sign that has
three animal totems. First, there is the well-known Scorpion with
its active tail. Second, as the Scorpio learns to master its passion
and hold its instincts at bay, it changes into the Eagle. The Eagle
has more perspective, for it flies high above the surface of circumstances,
swooping down with its power only to kill prey for food. In its third
form, the Scorpion becomes the always-peaceful dove. The real meaning
of Scorpio is thus shown. Scorpio is about metamorphosis. Scorpios
transform the painful poisons of possessive passion into a higher
consciousness based on universal love.
The Scorpio motto might be "What
is hidden is more interesting than what is obvious." They are
the detectives of the zodiac. Their magnetic personality draws others
to they. But they can also be secretive their self, for they learn
early on that when they express everything, others may be scared by
the power of their feelings. They desperately want to have someone
to merge with their feelings, but can become cold and withdrawn when
hurt in love. They have the magic to light up the dark, but sometimes
they would benefit by looking at the positive side of things rather
than going into the darkness at all.
General Character
Scorpio (the scorpion) is intense
and powerful. Although they appear controlled and calm, they are emotional
and energetic. Scorpios often have strong and penetrating eyes. They
seem fun to be with socially, but some seem self-involved and withdrawn.
They can recognize their special qualities and it requires self-control
to prevent they from using them for bad reasons. In relationships,
they can be passionate and overwhelming. They are also very sensitive
and take almost every comment to heart. They discard friends when
they start to bore them.
The Element associated with Scorpio
is Water. Those born under this Sign are emotional; it's just that
they're not as likely to show it. The Scorpio's emotions are repressed,
kept under cover that said, be aware that these folks are clever,
perceptive and always in the mix. Their ability to see into things
can sometimes be a curse for Scorpions, however, since they can take
an insignificant matter and turn it into a huge slight. Beware the
Scorpion who feels crossed!
These folks can turn vindictive in
no time flat. Luckily, once Scorpions catch their breath, they will
return to their usual determined and loyal ways. Finally, while Scorpions
aren't above some subtle manipulation to get what they want, they'd
much rather take a scientific, even mystical path. The Scorpio-born
are powerful and passionate, qualities, which serve them well, as
long as they don't let them deteriorate into self-indulgence or compulsion.
Because Scorpio is the eighth sign
of the zodiac, the deeper and hidden aspects of emotion are their
terrain and few people really understand the depths of feeling, which
are at the heart of their inner nature. The eighth house regulates
the aspects of life, sex, death and regeneration. The symbol of the
phoenix rising from the ashes describes the transformative aspects
of their nature, the potential for incredible inner awakening and
spiritual power.
A Scorpio Ascendant indicates individuals
who are likely to have strong physiques and tremendous physical stamina.
They are often far more stubborn than they seem on the surface, and
assiduously stick to their goals as long as they feel there is a chance
they will be successful. It is difficult to convince them to change
their minds once their decisions are made.
They are emotionally oriented, but
their emotional vulnerability is apt to be hidden unless their natal
sun or moon happens to be in Cancer or Pisces. They are friendly and
while some are rather quiet, many of them also have far more gregarious
personalities and don't mind being in the spotlight. Rarely do these
individuals possess the sinister or mysterious personalities that
popular literature tends to associate with the sign of Scorpio. They
are keen observers and shrewd speculators.
Scorpio is ruled by Pluto and, secondarily,
by this sign's ancient ruler, the planet Mars. Both planetary influences
may be seen in the personalities of these individuals. They are ambitious,
energetic, and seek activities that are economically rewarding, as
well as mentally or physically challenging. The jealousy associated
with Mars and Pluto is minimal unless other factors in their individual
personalities support such a trait. Many of them possess the cleverness
and mechanical ability associated with Mars, as well as the innate
resourcefulness associated with Pluto.
They have remarkable recuperative
powers that allow them to recover from physical, mental or economic
adversities that would destroy many others. When properly focused,
their energy is formidable and they quietly keep going long after
everyone else runs out of steam. Scorpio is a passionate nature, has
a bent for extremes of all kind, including love. It seems he is just
made for it. He is longing for love by all his nature.
Scorpio can’t stand any defeat.
He has a high opinion of himself and knows he is attractive and charming.
Anxiety in the face of the unknown and consequently a desire to be
able to control what is going on leads to a certain obsessive quality
in planets placed in this sign. There is a secretiveness and compulsiveness,
which is hidden under a facade of strong self-control. Instinctual
knowledge, occult talents and psychological ability manifest themselves
in Scorpio, because the character dwells on the inner emotional demons
most people choose to ignore.
Being able to trust someone and being
sure that nothing is hidden from their considerable perceptive talents
are essential ingredients for a good relationship. And intense emotional
relationships are very important to they - they do not like superficiality
at all. Turning points in their life come in the form of psychological
breakthroughs, which shake their emotional foundations. Often this
will be connected with the transformation of a deep emotional bond,
which wakens their latent anxiety connected with emotional security.
By giving up the illusion of being able to control others emotionally,
they are confronted with their own vulnerability. Their facade of
inscrutability is transformed and a softer and more understanding
side of their character is evoked. Their greatest talent is their
ability to strengthen others by their emotional and mental support.
He is self-assured and independent,
acts according to what his heart says. If any obstacles prevent him
from getting married, he will love his darling even more than the
real wife and husband.
A Scorpio man is not inclined to
open his heart to people. Among strangers he may behave roughly, neglect
his partner and be even violent, but tête-à-tête
he will reveal his real feelings. Love horoscope Scorpio explains
he is very suspicious, mistrustful and jealous.
As a friend
They are intensely loyal and ultra-sensitive
where their pride and self-respect are concerned. Sometimes they can
be too overbearing. Learn to overlook minor lapses on the part of
friends. They are pure dynamite as a friend because they are also
secretive and discriminating, so their can be a betrayal, despite
their own sincerity.

and intelligence but they are not quite aware of their ability. But
once aware, they can exploit its full potential and do well in any
field that they choose.
There is all likelihood that they will have a lot of positive development
in their lifetime. The exceptionally strong vibrations of Scorpio
coupled with their ability of self-control - gives they an extra-ordinary
capacity to attain supreme results.
Negatively speaking - they tend to
become compulsive pleasure seeker. They can use a lot of determination
only for the purpose of seeking pleasure. They may have a lot of influence
on others but cannot reform their own self. They can do very will
in the matters relating to business and finance. They are faithful
and reliable and they have the capacity to help others even beyond
limit. However If their harm anybody it will also be substantial.
They also do not give much attention to the feelings of their subordinates.

can rise very high in life. They will like a very high quality life
and will be able to achieve it.
Health - They will have a strong

in the most classical way. They have the capacity to seduce their
man by a single glance, their power of eyes have a lot to do in romance.
It is not for them to openly declare about being in love. They say
it well through their gestures and glances. They do not need any special
clothes for the occasion but shall have the capacity to achieve their
ends in most ordinary clothes. They have the capacity of making their

to marry early. Once married they can care and love their husband
the way no other woman can do. They will try to improve his position
and power so that they can be proud of him.
On the negative side, A Scorpio woman can have frequent rages of fury
and is well capable of destroying her married life. Controlling such
rage will work out well for them. However it has been seen that marriage
of Scorpion women is generally stable and the marriage improves the
lot of a scorpion woman as well as her husband.
Ideal Match: Those born in Pisces,
Scorpio and Leo are ideal match for them.
Caution: They are extremely optimistic
and see the world through pink glasses. They will rise in life due
to this nature of theirs but it can lead to falls also. They may take
risky decisions in all their optimism without seeing the negative
possibilities attached to them.
As a Baby
When a Scorpio baby enters the world,
all eyes will focus on them. And that's exactly how it will be for
a long time to come, as this baby must be the center of attention!
To that end, this is quite the manipulative little tot, sucking up
energy from everyone around. The Scorpio baby is also a bit mysterious,
making it hard to figure out what's wrong when the crying starts.
So often, it's something, which is seething below the surface and
will be very hard to draw out of this child. They must also consider
power struggles when thinking of this child, as the Scorpio baby will
expect that Mom, Dad, and everyone else will fit into their schedule
and plans.
Make no mistake, this is a powerful
child! The flip side of this is that this baby is quite clear on what
they want and can get that message across. One important note: Scorpio
babes loathe lounging in dirty diapers, so change them often! Many
times, this can be the simple source of their discomfort, although
the malady may not always be so clear. For that reason, the Scorpio
baby should be watched closely. Someone will generally be watching
this child, though, as the Scorpio tot enjoys a crowd, especially
one where it can lead. To sum up, the Scorpio baby is clever, wants
things on their own terms, and will know how to get it. Watch out!
Positive Qualities
The dual aspect of Mars and Pluto
working together creates an intriguing profile for them. They have
all the passion and power of Mars, but the secrecy of Pluto (it was
there from the beginning, exerting its energy, but we only just found
out about it, and even now it's hidden way, way out there, and is
the only planet that does not orbit the sun on an elliptical path,
but a rather skewed one).
As a result, they exert their power
in subtle ways. They're the person pulling the strings above the stage,
where no one can see they, yet they're in complete control. They know
they have a natural dominance -- not leadership per se, but quiet
control -- and they take pride and pleasure in seeing its effect on
others. They notice that the opposite sex is naturally attracted to
them: They notice that other people find themselves acquiring their
habits, or their points of view. Yes, they are a natural manipulator,
very much like the serpent in Eden.
This does not, however, mean that
they're evil. A few Scorpios have taken advantage of this power for
dubious purposes -- the infamous German World War I spy Mata Hari,
for example -- but for most of they it's just their nature. They've
learned early on that they can't control everything -- that's impossible
-- so they limit their scope to the few areas in which they can excel.
One such area is investigation. Secrecy
and control go hand in hand here, so any problem that needs solving,
any mystery that is begging to be unraveled, is their baby. They discover
gossip, for instance, before everyone else (although they're hardly
a blabbermouth). This is just because they're extremely curious. They'll
take apart a radio just to see how it works, they'll explore a cave
to see where it goes, or they'll follow a trail to get to its source.
The Mars influence also indicates
purposeful energy. Hard work is second nature to they, and if they're
the controlling force, watch it world, they'll blow it open. Even
if they fail, they can still start over -- that's Pluto, able to reach
very deep into the system and retool it.
Negative Qualities
They are intense, and they know it.
They have a deep well of passion and will, but if they don't get their
way, they could explode like a volcano. A Scorpio rage is a rage that
can blast everything in its path, including itself (when cornered,
a scorpion will sting itself to death). This is why control is so
important to they: it's for their own good, and everyone else's as
well.
So they restrain their self. They
hold back their true emotions deep, deep in the well. Oh sure, they
make the appropriate social response when needed, but it's either
fabricated or just a hint of the real they, a drop or two from the
well. People are attracted to them for that deep passion -- it's often
a challenge for them to get to know they so well they find the key
that unlocks the floodgates.
Scorpios are also thought to be preoccupied
with death. It is certainly a sign with a dark nature, but in real
life no Scorpios have ever been found to be more depressed or suicidal
than others. They enjoy life as much as everyone else, but they are
somehow more aware of mortality. Most other signs spend their lives
ignoring it, but they let it dictate their actions to a degree, and
they respond to it with their self-restraint mechanism. Only they
know the power of their temper.
They are instinctively suspicious,
because once they place their self in the control room, they have
to defend it. And, curiously, their defense mechanism is just as secretive
as the rest of them. They'll use their powers of manipulation and
investigation to create an aura of fear and fascination -- that always
works.
By no means will they ever leave
their self open and vulnerable. They have to hold something back,
or else they'd be giving up control, and that simply is unthinkable.
They will therefore share the deepest part of their self only with
a select trustworthy few.
It's not appropriate, in this case,
to suggest moderation here and there, as is customary with most other
signs. They are not one to compromise, so there's little point. Perhaps
the only caveat is to suggest care of their self and others -- i.e.,
don't misuse the immense passion and power with which they were blessed.
They and those around them will lead happier lives if they channel
it positively.
Physical Qualities and Activities
Scorpio rules the reproductive organs,
so this area is particularly sensitive. Like the serpent in the Bible,
it signifies the fall of man and the fertility of man, the birth /
death continuum. They know they're vulnerable there -- it's the well
of their passion -- so they don't share it with just anybody, and
that's also why they're so restrictive of their deepest secrets.
They're really not an athlete, or
all that inclined towards recreation. But they do love a dare. Anything
that pushes the limit of danger gets their blood flowing -- and not
just faux danger, like bungee jumping, but real danger -- riding a
motorcycle at 100 mph on a windy mountain road, for instance, or scuba
diving into shark-infested waters.
Physical appearance
Scorpios are always striking, whether
or not they are stunningly beautiful. They have a magnetic, forceful
quality and dress elegantly. There is a strange mysticism and magnetism
in the Scorpio personality, which is enchanting to the beholder.
Beauty - Of course they've heard
all the tales of lusty Scorpio, the Sign of Sex – the escapades,
the seduction, the mysterious stranger in red and black. No other
Sun Sign has quite the mystique of this stinging little Scorpion.
Yes, those of they born under the intense light of this Fixed Water
Sign are intense and passionate, amorous and sometimes secretive.
When it comes to beauty, they wrap
their sensuality around they like a long, silken robe – it envelopes
their every move. Their sensuality courses through them like an electric
current. While it seems as if they can't help but exude sexual energy,
there's a softer side to they. They can be emotional and a loyal friend.
They don't go for the musky perfumes as much as they do sweeter essences
like vanilla or spicy fragrances like cinnamon.
They delight in disguise and in dramatic
makeovers; wigs and false eyelashes are some of the tools of their
cosmetic trade. Hiding behind other personas stimulates they, and
they shine when they can be a bit clever and cunning.
The power of their beauty lies within
this cunning; all of their expressions of beauty possess a hidden,
deeper meaning, a subtext of desire, an ulterior motive. They are
at their most beautiful when they channel their sly charm to energize
those around them, letting the world in on the biggest Scorpio secret
of all: how good it feels to be them.
Personality
They are intuitive, probing and very
focused on knowing who's who and what's what. Scorpions can lose their
temper when someone gets in their way, so it's best to give them plenty
of room. Remember, they're unafraid, and a loss today simply means
an opportunity for victory tomorrow.
Scorpio is the most intense and powerful
sign of the zodiac. Scorpions are determined and passionate, emotional
and exciting, sometimes volatile, even if they seem reserved on the
surface. A Scorpio can however be quite jealous at times, and secretive
or even obstinate. Scorpions are imaginative, intuitive and rational,
but can be demanding of those around them.
A Scorpio Ascendant indicates individuals
who are likely to have strong physiques and tremendous physical stamina.
They are often far more stubborn than they seem on the surface, and
assiduously stick to their goals as long as they feel there is a chance
they will be successful. It is difficult to convince them to change
their minds once their decisions are made.
They are emotionally oriented, but
their emotional vulnerability is apt to be hidden unless their natal
sun or moon happens to be in Cancer or Pisces. They are friendly and
while some are rather quiet, many of them also have far more gregarious
personalities and don't mind being in the spotlight. Rarely do these
individuals possess the sinister or mysterious personalities that
popular literature tends to associate with the sign of Scorpio. They
are keen observers and shrewd speculators.
Scorpio is ruled by Pluto and, secondarily,
by this sign's ancient ruler, the planet Mars. Both planetary influences
may be seen in the personalities of these individuals. They are ambitious,
energetic, and seek activities that are economically rewarding, as
well as mentally or physically challenging. The jealousy associated
with Mars and Pluto is minimal unless other factors in their individual
personalities support such a trait. Many of them possess the cleverness
and mechanical ability associated with Mars, as well as the innate
resourcefulness associated with Pluto.
They are attracted to others with
strong, magnetic personalities. They are oriented toward gathering
resources of all kinds. For example, many of these individuals consciously
or subconsciously tend to establish relationships with strong or powerful
people in the belief such contacts may prove useful to them in some
way. They can be quite secretive about personal affairs, a trait that
often escapes the attention of most people they meet. They are often
so accommodating and pleasant that, unless others make serious attempts
to probe beneath their surface, their real personalities and activities
stay hidden indefinitely.
They have remarkable recuperative
powers that allow them to recover from physical, mental or economic
adversities that would destroy many others. When properly focused,
their energy is formidable and they quietly keep going long after
everyone else runs out of steam. A Scorpio Ascendant indicates potential
for afflictions to the head and face as well as illnesses affecting
the reproductive organs. Scorpio is generally recognized as: determined,
persistent, intense, emotional, intuitive, forceful yet subtle, imaginative,
powerful, generous, loyal, passionate, exciting, and magnetic.
On the shadow side: jealous, resentful,
obstinate, compulsive, obsessive, brooding, secretive, vengeful, possessive,
unyielding, extremist, and can appear cold and impassive.
Isn't it interesting how people always
jump a step back when they tell them they're a Scorpio - as if that
stinging scorpionic tail of theirs is about to lash out at the first
person that walks by. In fact it's not like that at all - and Scorpios
are usually not usually cruel, but they are intense.
They are intense emotionally and
exert their passion in a very focused and determined fashion. They
get what they want even if they have to wait a long while. And passion
doesn't only apply to physical and sexual matters. They are passionate
about anything that captivates their attention.
Their magnetism is highly noticeable
and they probably know it. It's also quite likely that by now they've
discovered their hidden talent of attraction and influence - usually
by the mere magnetic look of the enticing fire in their eyes, the
mystery of the real Scorpion in them.
Because Scorpio is the eighth sign
of the zodiac, the deeper and hidden aspects of emotion are their
terrain and few people really understand the depths of feeling, which
are at the heart of their inner nature. The eighth house regulates
the aspects of life, sex, death and regeneration. The symbol of the
phoenix rising from the ashes describes the transformative aspects
of their nature, the potential for incredible inner awakening and
spiritual power.
If hurt, they're prone to biding
their time for vengeance sake, for a more appropriate time to balance
the score sheet. On the other hand, they exhibit a fiercely loyal
streak and are protective of family, friends and territory too. They
want the best for those in their life and may exert their self to
extremes to prove their worth and dedication to the ideals that they
set for their self in life.
Romance
Scorpio is a passionate nature, has
a bent for extremes of all kind, including love. It seems he is just
made for it. He is longing for love by all his nature.
The opposite sex holds a fair deal
of attraction to them but they should be careful in their dealings
with them as they usually end up in unpleasant situations, because
of the zeal and determination with which they tackle relationships
with the opposite sex. Be friendly by all means, but treat the person
like one treats a rose. Enjoy its glory, but do not crush its petals.
They will find more satisfaction. They cannot be faithful for too
long and this will not only destroy their reputation, but also remain
a painful memory all their life.
They are intense emotionally and

by the mere magnetic look of the enticing fire in their eyes, the
mystery of the real Scorpion in them.
There's a hard-to-pin-down, magnetic
quality, which surrounds the Scorpion, an aura which says "try
me, if they dare!" That's just what Scorpions want, someone fearless,
who is willing to help create the ultimate romance, one which will
take them to greater heights than ever before. When this works, the
Scorpion's passions are unleashed with hurricane force. If, however,
the romance zigs, zags and bouts of jealousy may be the unwelcome
result. Ruling planets Mars and Pluto might prompt Scorpio to think
that romance is a clash of wills, but a clever lover is the one who
can bring this warrior to see that a pincer movement to the heart
is the sweetest of all.
Love and Relation
Because they have an innate understanding
of secrecy and power, they have to be careful of jealousy in their
relationships. They can be quite trustworthy when they're happy, but
when they suspect some wrongdoing, watch out. Pity the poor soul who
makes them an enemy, and they themselves will agonize over such a
state. Cultivate the traits that will make them more open and trusting,
and just as importantly, choose the partner most suited to them.
The strong Scorpion often takes the
lead when it comes to matters of the heart. This can make for an interesting
relationship dynamic and a very sexy chess game. It is sex and the
power that comes with it that carry the most weight for this libidinous
soul. Scorpions are possessed of a steely determination and a strong
sense of what is best - for them. Thankfully, this often takes into
account their partner by extension; Scorpios are quick to be giving
and to make their lover's life as easy as possible. As long as the
Scorpion wins, there will be harmony in the mating game.
Male
When it comes to lovemaking they
are capable of attaining the highest level of passion. They are persuasive
and will not admit defeat once they have their mind fixed on a particular
female. They prefer to control their mates' emotions. Like everything
else, they always give one hundred percent and of course they expect
the same in return. To they sex is a competitive game, and revenge
and jealousy are two of their characteristics that will surface if
they aren't winning.
Female
They have no trouble attracting men.
They dress for their mate and will use their seductive, hypnotic eyes
to dazzle and captivate their chosen partner. They are the type of
woman that has a tremendous animalistic energy that can lure and tantalize
but they also have a temper that can be explosive. They are extremely
demanding when it comes to the art of making love and they ask patience
if their mate doesn't satisfy them. They will be loyal and true blue
as long as they don't detect weakness in their lover.
An ideal love partner
Scorpio - Aries. Fire with water creates a highly charged association.
Mars rules over both signs, so there will be mutual appreciation of
strength or capabilities or fierce competition. Aries does not suspect
the secretive ways of Scorpio. Excellent of teamwork, if goals agree,
but these signs will demand of each other. A very unstable combination.
Aries loves innovations in sex, and Scorpio will take part in it with
great pleasure. But Aries loves freedom, Scorpio is jealous. Both
are egoistic, dynamic and ambitious. A strong mutual attraction may
arise, but their individualism will set them apart. Compatibility
