~Something about
Scorpions:~
- Scorpios are characterized as being very intuitive,
courageous, resourceful, resentful, stubborn, sarcastic, and vindictive.
They like work that requires intense concentration and effort. They love
to solve mysteries. They work well with underground or underwater
endeavors. They can be surgeons, scientists, archeologists.
- Scorpio is a very powerful, FIXED, water sign ruled
by Pluto. Scorpio have very definite opinions, and usually no amount of
persuasion will make them change their minds.
- They are capable of great sacrifice for those they
love.
- Since their unconscious mind is more active than
their conscious mind, criticism makes them lose all sense of judgment.
They can react with sarcasm and silence. Holding grudges and being
vindictive is the greatest trait a Scorpio needs to overcome.
- Most people think of Scorpio as the sex symbol, and
most are highly sexed. It would be better to say they are intense in
whatever they do.

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In their everyday behavior they give the appearance of being withdrawn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".
