Our openness vs the scorpio secrecy? WE have to be open books to you, but the opposite...? eh

God forbid if we stretch the truth...but you are justified, under certain circumstances, you are free to stretch, twist the truth and lie by omission. No one should lie, don't get me wrong...but some have given themselves excuses to do so, to alleviate their minds...they had their reasons and should not be questioned.

Which brings me to another point...the third degree! smh.




true. i wonder if it's a water sign thing?

@TheScorp, not true which is why i asked if it's a water sign thing.

i have a scorp friend who literally peers over his wife's shoulder whenever she's on FB, but recently made a huge financial decision without discussing it with his wife. on one hand, yes, you are an open book...until it's something you don't want to be open about. with that said, you expect openness and honesty across the board from your partner and if that is not given, you turn into creepy stalkers.

he's insecurity is brought about by her lack of openness. thus, if you're not 100% open, you have the right to be that way according to scorpio, but don't be surprised if it hurts the scorpio's feelings and they start acting a lil batty.



that doesn't make sense because she has stated she's been open....and she's a taurus, it's not likely she's lying about that.

if he still drills her....then he obviously is insecure about something.

her continuing to reassure him isn't going to fix that.

makes perfect sense...to a scorpio.

if there's nothing to hide, what are you hiding?

the taurus motto is such that, if you want me to know, you'll let me know.

for scorpio, if you don't want me to know, i'll find out.

sometimes we need to be put in our place.
sometimes we desperately crave that.

most of time people don't have the balls to do it.

it's about mutual respect.

if i'm creating a double standard for you or contradicting myself and you sit there and smile and nod while playing "follow the leader"...eventually I won't have any respect for you. AT. ALL.

CALL ME OUT ON MY SHIT, PLEASE. 😄

YES!! MOUNTAINS of Respect comes from drawing the line in the desert sand with Scorps. I am QUICK to let a SCORP know.. "HEY! Listen Partna.." they respect and LOVE you for doing so. I am: [SUN/TAURUS, MOON/SCORPIO, RISING/GEMINI, VENUS/ARIES].

If you don't call us out when we need to be called out (like only a taurus can do BECAUSE you are our opposite) we will always manipulate the situation to our benefit.

LOL!!..I loved that.

Tell Scorpio to get off your nuts or get off the ride.

I see this all the time with scorp/taur couples not all but a lot. Scorpio is all freaky and Taurus cares so much they put up with emotional drama llama or the scorpions past issues that cause them to be spastic. I'd say don't do it. Every time you tell a Scorpio a boundary it makes them more attracted to you in my experience. If it makes them more unstable than its because they're an unstable person and they'll eventually drain the life outta you if you stick around.

^not scientific or even strong astrological theory just pure observation of the pairing.




i missed this the first time around and it made SOL (smile out loud) 😛

so when it comes to scorpio, there are two reactions one can anticipate...

a strong positive reaction to "boundaries," restrictions, verbal backhands OR

insanity.

HA!

See, there are times when talking back, creating useless challenges is just such a fucking waste of time! Bulls see it that way...who cares? It's not worth it!

I have better to do with my time than to contradict what he says just to make him feel some spark!

It might be my venus and mars both in pisces...but some days I let this type of bullshit go! I shrug it off! But in the whole picture it's a pain the ass. Am I going to tell him that he can be a royal pain in the ass? Only when I feel like saying anything. Other times *shrug*...

I've noticed that when he wants a little fight just for the sake of one, I don't give him the satisfaction...that's when I smile and nod at everything he says.

THAT's my way of creating boundaries! 😉



Would you list his chart? Im curious.

that's interesting.

my pisces influence comes to me by way of houses, not planets and ironically, i do the same thing (with my sag bro). we used to fight all the time and at some point, i grew up and recognized that i can choose not to engage. i'm not sure if that was my inner bull or fishy that wizened up.

with that said, i dunno about the smile and nod 😛 for me, it's more of a smirk and a blank stare.

i'm half reading this thread, but i kinda do agree that you may need to change the manner in which you create your boundary. it would seem as if the way you're going about it isn't working and i wouldn't put it past a scorpio to continue testing the limits of your boundaries for the sheer hell of it or as you said, he may do it in an attempt to satisfy his sick emo needs.

the higher you build, the more he has to up his game too. the more mentally stable you become, the more irrational and cuckoo he'll need to be to breakdown your facade and pull out your emotion/anger.

in my short dealings with a scorp, what i couldn't deal with was his neediness and emo-usery, but what REALLY got me was that i found myself yelling a lot and that is soooo not in my nature. it actually fucked with me a bit because in the course of arguing i found myself wondering, "why are you yelling?" sure, that could've been due to the fact that we were talking simultaneously and he was getting off on contradicting me, but yeah, peace and harmony. whether it's my fishies or my bull, i'd much rather be on these two planes and i just couldn't get there with this particular scorp.

with that said, i have a lot of fire in me, so eh, maybe you're less firey, so smiling and nodding truly are the best way for you to handle things.

With my gem moon, I sometimes suffer from foot-in-mouth syndrome, so I say a few things that should not have been said at all. Then I start cracking jokes and he'll look at me with that blank stare that says, "who the hell are you kidding?" And even though a part of me is shaking inside waiting for that 'sting' -sometimes I really want it- I still smile, until he gets over it.




hmm...

are you kidding me?

one thing you all have in common is that you ride the shortbus and you have the special chair in the back.

OF COURSE there are other aspects to a person's chart. am i anything like VB? is PP anything like P-A? if you want to break it down to an elemental level then shit, we'd be comparing how old they are in addition to their race, gender and whether they prefer butter or margarine.

you can try all you wish to escape your sun, but you can not. on a primal level, that is who you is and push come to shove, you're a crazy mufuckin bitch who'd have no qualms about shitting in a rag and stuffing it someone's purse if it meant revenge.

now back to the topic at hand...

I don't disagree that Sun signs influence a chart substantially. But you have to admit that everything else in a chart can have a major influence on how the Sun is expressed. Sure, there archetypes you can't get away from. But, say, a Leo with a Pisces Moon, for instance, with some lousy water placements as well as some unflattering planetary aspects can appear almost totally like a declawed Leo.

And you're right, Sun signs will *always* be expressed, but differently, and in ways that are still attributable to that sun sign. You'll see, for instance, a declawed Leo behaving and acting out as a declawed Leo. It'll be a Leo response, but once that is coming from lousy placements. So they really won't seem like a *typical* Leo.

Yes, Scorps are at their core very cagey and cunning. No doubt about it. But the way R1g plays that and the way Elle play it are quite different.





again, one slashes your tires, the other one busts the windows out your car. each has a different threshhold, but are all innately insane.

the more that one learns about sun signs, the more that one learns to identify individuals by their sign. it'd be no different than being able to guess a person MBTI after studying the various types.

thus, if you've ever said, oooh, i just knew you were a "insert sign here," you weren't talking about the person's uranus. you weren't going off of their ascendant. 9 times out of 10 you were talking about their sun. now if you were wrong, chances are, yes, you may indeed have seen their uranus...in stellium, but the notion that i'm going to sit here and have this particular discussion would be akin to your proposing that all Chinese people don't look alike and white folks can't dance.

the reality is, they do and they can't...until you know better and that's when they don't and they still can't.

the end.

re: Double standards
Yes, I have some.
1) I want to possess my S/O but I don't want to be possessed (except just enough to feel secure)
2) I am very jealous if my S/O is flirty but I like to flirt
3) I am moody but I don't like my S/O to be moody
4) I want to know everything about my S/O. yeah, I want to read their texts (I restrain the urge) but they need to leave my ph the hell alone and I will take some secrets to my grave but I want to explore their deepest darkest ones
5) I want my S/O to be easy going even if I am being difficult
6) I want my S/O to have patience even though I don't have much
7) I will fight for my 'right' to continue being like the above, but I won't really respect them if they allow it.

Thats just a sampling. I'm sure there are many more. I try hard to restrain my natural tendencies. I know they are unreasonable. Hey its a work in progress.



This just pisses me off LOL!

See all this crap seems like way too much maintenance for anyone. I don't really have all the time for the push/pull bullshit it's either you do or you motherfucking don't. What is it. I've said it to my Scorpio before I think I might have to again cause he's just sitting and staring at me all crazy like. Anyways, this is way too much work. I'm the female I should be high maintenance. Shouldn't have to go around catering, having secrets kept from me, etc. It's like "Do as I say but don't do as I do" thing going on here. Nope. Not happening. Mirroring is about to start too and I'm going to see how well that works. You act that way, then that's what you shall get, period.

You should have a look at Cancers then.

It's like taking an Audi into the shop every few weeks.

There is *a lot* to be on top of.

Seraph - Two words. Hell no. Been there done that. I can't understand why the F water signs like me so much. Leave me alone! I can't deal with that crap. I have a sister and a BFF that are both Cancers and let me tell you I can only deal with one a day.
