Scorpio ! About Your Self... |
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withdrawn from the center of activity, yet those who know them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 YOU, AND THEIR SOLUTIONS |
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.
