Hell hath no fury like a Scorpio scorned...

It goes without saying, if someone dares to cross us we will get our revenge. I'm usually too scared to act on it, so I just wait and let karma do it for me. Yet for all you other Scorpios out there, what has been some of your sweetest revenge?

Yeah some of you go the Betty Broderick route, we all know that. Betty Broderick is a scorp too so no surprise there lol.

Revenge is stupid & a waste of time. The best revenge is total amputation from your life, but YOU must be fantastic for it to work. Nobody misses an insipid.

What exactly is a gray lizard Scorpio? I've never heard of that...

Oh very interesting, thank you.
That must mean I am a gray lizard right now.
Hopefully my phoenix will rise very soon.

Well this transformation is definitely a long time coming and I'm getting very impatient. Haha. I do believe Scorpios are just very strong and we always overcome. I wish we could be more like superheroes. We'd have very useful powers and strengths. 🙂

i have a problem not getting physically violent when i'm extremely crossed, or someone tried to fuck me over. the way i feel at times, i'd rather karma come deal with me for getting revenge than for me to sit around waiting for the cosmos to get back at someone who's done me wrong. even if karma does come back to those ppl, there is no guarantee that i'll even see it. what's the satisfaction in that?

i want to see the pain and suffering so i can make it a kodak moment in my mind. plus, i want to aid it and make it worse in any way i possibly can. i'm not just dishing revenge, im sending a message. hey... shouldn't have fucked with me. im not going to feel sorry afterwards.

Wow well I didn't mean physical violence, but one should definitely be wise to never mess with you. When I posted this thread, I mainly meant something along the lines of Carrie Underwood's "Before He Cheats." You know like keying the car of the creep who cheated on you. That kind of stuff. I would hope my fellow Scorpios wouldn't go too far into the dark side and end up in jail or something. 😛

I'm a scorpio in sun, moon, ascendent + 3 more scorpios.

Surprisingly, I really don't seek vengeance. I feel a huge need to correct wrongs but I refuse to wrong myself by acting petty.

I kill with kindness. 😛

Yeah I'm right there with you, except my moon sign is in Cancer. I just always let karma take care of it for me instead. Maybe it's because I'm just too nice to actually seek revenge on others. Karma never disappoints though. For instance, my first love who broke my heart completely is now fat and bald. Karma is a bitch.??😉

Scorpion is acting on revenge. The hurt is resolved in your mind and removed from you, to be given back to your perceived wrongdoer. There's the chance they'll never trifle with you again (your goal). There's the chance they'll come back stronger, which goes back and forth until someone wins. There's also the (rather likely) chance they'll take that anger you've amplified and returned to them, and transfer it to someone else. Bystanders beware!

Grey lizard is sitting around stressing yourself out about it, but not actually doing anything in the real world, so you end up hurting yourself quietly and no one else. It is at least harmless to others, but quite detrimental to you. An old phrase about drinking poison and hoping it will kill your enemy, comes to mind...

Eagle/Phoenix is described as rising above the hurt. We use our deeply probing minds to find out WHY they wronged us. Sometimes we find they didn't intend to wrong us, and then we find WHY it hurt us, anyway. If it hurt us unintentionally there's the possibility that on some level, sometimes a hard to find inner level, we actually in some small form *cough* agree with what was said, and find it to be an objectionable aspect of ourselves. Which hurts our pride to have mentioned and put a blemish on our ego-driven image. The ego is our sense of self and we want it to be perfect, a perfectly human thing to do. But the blemish is there whether it is mentioned or not. In which case we may grow by changing this aspect of ourselves.

That growth is hard. Harder still, is finding out why they wronged us when the hurt was actually intentional. There are so many variables. The most common is one caused many times, by most of us, in our own Scorpion pasts. Talk about k-a-r-m-a. This common cause is when someone has been hurt by someone else and feels the need to take it out on the nearest susceptible bystander--you. But you are not susceptible. You are a Scorpion. The almighty and powerful Scorpio! Or are you? Are you strong? Strong enough to control yourself? Are you wise? Wise enough to stop the transfer of anger dead in its tracks? Are you THAT powerful, that your enemy can throw anything at you, and rather than feeling hurt, you pity them for feeling the need to try to hurt you?

The other most common cause: they perceive you hurt them and are taking their revenge upon you. Again, we've all done this in our pasts. Do we blindly cycle the hatred yet again, or do we conquer it with love?

What you just wrote about the grey lizard hit me pretty hard. I've wondered why I've had to suffer so much. I mean after all, I'm usually the one getting hurt, so where's my revenge? I have always wondered why sometimes karma seems to take its sweet time or sometimes it never even comes at all. In my case, I've felt like the one who always ends up with the worst of ot while the ones who have wronged have gone on to having great happiness. It's very unfair and cruel. Reading your post, I'm starting to realize now that maybe I've been going about it the wrong way this whole time. If only I could rise again as the phoenix instead...

We constantly, constantly change. Rise and fall. No one who hits 'phoenix' magically stays. It takes effort, and effort takes motivation. True motivation is gained from having some insights, some actual life experiences, which feel good and valuable, and worth repeating. We repeat what-we-want. What is the ultimate end-goal of what we want? To be happy, of course. To be truly, uplifting/blissful/wonderful happy. Darkness still hits, and when it's hard, we may fall. The trick is to keep rising up again. And again. And again.

Find help, if we must. And then rise again.

But every second of every day is a new chance! Watch your thoughts. Take hold of the destructive ones, analyze for lessons learned, and then let them go. Truly. Let them drift away. Find the helpful ones, the happy memories; cherish them and keep them. The more you relive them the more they will fade, but they're doing their job, and they're teaching you how to find new ones as well. Thoughts become words, words become actions, actions become habits.

We are our habits. Improve on happy habits, the truly uplifting ones, and diminish the hurtful ones. The ones that hurt you. (If you're of the we-are-all-connected mindset, what hurts you hurts others, and vice versa). And remember that there is no hurry. No rush. No stress over having to reach some significant goal tomorrow. Even a few pebbles moved each day, will eventually level a mountain.

In our very greedy, needy, human way, we can still bring Light to this world. 🙂

Wow I am speechless. You truly have such an amazing mindset and view on life. I've read so many self-help books and I have been going to a psychologist for years, but none of that has ever helped or even made sense. What you just wrote makes sense in a way that I've been relentlessly searching for. You're like an angel sent to help me or something. 🙂 I cannot thank you enough. Truly. You've given me hope that I will rise again and things will get better. I feel like I've just woken up to a bright and saving revelation.

it's just a feeling. i've learned not to act on my violent rage. that's when i really have to get away from people or all hell will unleash.

I recently had a situation in which I could have gone in for revenge--and believe me I thought about it...alot--however I just let it ride. I thought: why should I bring negative energy into my life when this guy was an idiot? This happen about two years ago--a colleague totally screwed me over.

Anyway, I let it ride. Didn't do a damn thing. I found forgiveness in my heart and just observed. I also didn't help when normally I would for a friend. Slowly but surely, all of his castles started burning. He spent thousands of dollars on deals that all fell through.

Just recently, we went out as friends for the first time since. It was okay. At the end of the day, I feel great about how I handled the situation. Another person he screwed over found bitterness. But why should I be bitter when I didn't do anything?

My advice: let it ride. Always let it ride. 🙂

Very good advice and I agree. We all know Scorpios don't need any extra negative energy that's for sure. 😛
