If they explained the misunderstanding even if it was something awful. Would they be forgiven ?
Let's say someone one accidentally lied to a Scorpio Mars.

LOL @ accidentally lied.


When you are ignorant about a situation and say what you thought was truth then find out more information and find you actually lied but you waited a couple of days so you could tell them this to their face.
Posted by andswhoSigh I kind of figured this
They will use it against you at a later date

Posted by MaxPowerUgggh ?Posted by ladylibra21Yeah, that's rough. And yes, some will hold it against you. They expect you to know everything, even what they lie to you about.

Oh, right, they will lie to you but you can't lie to them. Sorry!click to expand

That's very vague, you need to be honest with us to get an honest answer. I'd much rather you own your mistakes and be straight up with me, don't try to play a Mars in Scorpio. We will find out, and either retaliate or vanish on your ass like you never existed....depends on how invested I am.

No.
Progressed Mars in Scorpio here
Posted by MaxPowerThat's quite impressive, you put it in a nutshell... Truth is a big deal.
Anyway, I do have a theory about how Scorpio-dominants decide they're being lied to when other people would not see it that way.
It's the fact that they are naturally so very careful, that they are calculating, that they do research (and some of that research is sometimes nefarious), that they hold back what they will say until they have all the facts...so they won't make a mistake. So they won't tell an "accidental lie." The other 11 signs are simply not so careful and calculating. If a Scorpio assumes they are, they are assuming the person is acting as they would have acted.
I'd also say that evolved Scorp/Scorp dominant/Scorp Mars people forgive loved ones dishonesty. We can hold grudges, but not for too long. But it would surely depend on the weight of the lie how we deal with it in particular.

Posted by -elle-Most of this applies to Scorpio moons too. Although we won't go on a rampage. We simply cut you off without a word.
@MaxPower
I just want the truth.
I don't care how ugly it might be.
Lies set me off on a rampage.
They make me feel a certain level of humiliation, regret and betrayal.
I will cut someone off from contact if I catch on to the fact that they are lying, withholding information or trying to protect my feelings with lies.
Tell me facts. Let me decide on how I want to feel about it.

Me. Like Elle said, it's about accountability and not flat-out lying to my face. Nothing makes me feel more disrespected than that scenario. For example, I'd be more forgiving of a partner admitting they had sex with someone else, than hiding it or lying about it and me finding out from other means. Own what you do, I'll respect you more for doing so.

Right? Just don't repeat the "mistake", because then there might be some bloodshed. Just kidding I don't usually bother with retaliation, I vanish. Think that's a more mature way to handle it and keep my karmic energy positive ๐
Are you a Scorp moon?

You dun goofed by lying in the first place.
Now you reap what you sow.
Now you reap what you sow.

Posted by ladylibra21That's not a lie, though. That's a mistake. Extra points for waiting to tell them fact to face, but I'm not a Mars Scorpio. Also, I think if you're going to isolate placements, then this would me more Mercury's domain.

Posted by Jules-llWhy do certain Sun Scorpios, or certain people with Scorpio placements in personal planets, take pride in their ability *and* willingness to retaliate? If a person is emotionally invested and either cares about or loves you, it's not too difficult to hurt them - whether it's retaliation or vanishing - *because* they're emotionally invested in you. Outside of transitory ego gratification, I don't understand the value of either, or how they're productive or conducive to repairing whatever's gone wrong in any relationship.

The two times in life that I've retaliated wasn't to a partner, it was to male work associates (an attorney and my department CFO). They both were eventually fired, as they should have been. Two different companies and two different situations, neither had an HR firm in place. Don't sexually harass people and you won't have that issue.
In personal relationships if heavily wronged I will walk away depending on what happened. If it's minor of course there are discussions to try to resolve whatever the issue was, I wouldn't have been able to stay married for 12 years without those qualities. So don't take what I said as being inflexible, we are all human and flawed. I prefer people to be honest and direct as I stated above, because once you break the trust it's so difficult to repair.
How do you react if you feel someone has wronged you terribly?

Posted by Jules-llThank you for the thoughtful response. For the most part, I respond in a very similar way as you do. Not always, though. When I was younger, I fought like hell, but not in any productive way. Stereotypical Aries shit: fight, throw things, storm out of the house, slam doors, but also put them under the interrogation lamp and grill them for hours. Not so typical Aries: I was emotionally vindictive, and when deeply hurt, I'd get very icy and shut them out. At the time, I took all hurts as a license to seek emotional support from outside of my relationship.Posted by VCastrillonPosted by Jules-llWhy do certain Sun Scorpios, or certain people with Scorpio placements in personal planets, take pride in their ability *and* willingness to retaliate?

Now, usually, I retreat and get very quiet. I do what I can to sort it out and not fly off the handle. Then I'll discuss it, calmly but *very thoroughly*. I do what i can to help them navigate, but if they insist on not learning, I walk away now.

I know all about the Aries quick temper and grilling for hours, my ex-husband is an Aries sun. But as quickly as he got angry he would be over it, and my slow burn would be boiling while he was already moved on ha ha!

It IS pride. It IS willfullness. It IS ego. And it IS ugly.
The fact that it's your natural reaction doesn't excuse it.
You just let people walk all over you and grin about it?
There are natural lines in this world that you do not cross.
Respect is respect.
If you do not show people it's not okay to do certain things to you, how will they ever learn not to?
The best way is to put them in a position of learning....feel what I felt when you did that to me so you understand the pain/feeling/etc that occured...and possibly empathize why I would be so upset. That's a place you don't want to be....so, you simply don't do it.
Right wrong or indifferent.....
With all my libra placements...if I didn't have my mars in scorpio....I would be the biggest door mat on this planet. It prevents that from happening.
You do not teach someone a "lesson" by being an asshole. You only teach them that you are an asshole. That is the lesson everyone you ever committed revenge against learned. That they don't like you.
The soul purpose of a Scorpio is not to teach lessons. It is to learn them.
Once by someone who stole a significant amount of money from me and another by a family member who betrayed me deeply.
At those moments in time, a primal rage took over and retaliation was imminent.
Self preservation is not a joke.
I don't go around being an asshole for petty reasons. I respect everyone until they give me a reason not to.
It takes something very severe to get me to react.

Interesting how similarly we expressed our feelings about this Elle, and we both have 12th house Mars. I feel the same way, the Mars is a weapon that is used sparingly and only when really necessary. Now as far as the sexual part, that's another story all together! Let that energy flow ๐
