Scorpio Decantes - questions, insights
1st Decan here 🙂 (hint: the day they used to call 'devil's night)
Lovely, you'd be surprised - some are very active and they have spirited discussions about astrological nuances of all kinds

The First Decan of Scorpio is also known as the Scorpio Decante and the "Week of Intensity." This double Scorpio Decante ruled by Pluto (Scorpio's governing Planet) provides an intensified influence that is manifested in strong drives for power and lust. There are deep feelings here, but they are well-hidden. Those governed by this Decan can either be creative or destructive. Luckily, meaningful employment and worthwhile friends can keep these individuals on the right track. Since those ruled by this First Decan never expect things to be easy, they are rarely surprised or caught off-guard. They possess impressive fortitude to overcome most odds and may even reinvent themselves periodically. Stubborn and persistent, these are individuals who grit their teeth and have a tendency to finish whatever they start. This period is the most forceful and self-willed period of the entire year. Nothing can stop the drive associated with this Decan, whether for bad or good. Usually it is for the good since the nature of those governed here are generally too virile to be selfish. This strong will is also accompanied by will power and a desire to explore the unknown. There is also a love and appreciation of family and friends associated with this period. An individual who falls under the jurisdiction of this Decante tends to be something of an irresistible force who blends passion with compassion, as well as being blessed with magnetism, insight, ambition and a knack for intimacy. Sheer single-mindedness assures that he or she will be a winner in love and any chosen profession. The feelings here may be complex but are always utterly genuine. The motto of the First Decan of Scorpio is "Intensity."

The constellation associated with this Decan is Ophiuchus the Serpent-Bearer. Entwined with the constellation of Serpens the Serpent, Opihiuchus covers a large expanse of sky and includes some of the Milky Way's richest star clouds. Originally, Ophiuchus and Serpens were considered to be a single constellation, out of which developed an associated myth related to the founding of medicine. Ophiuchus is said to be representative of the legendary physician Asclepius, who learned the secrets of life and death from one serpent that was bringing healing herbs to another serpent Asclepius had tried to destroy. In order to prevent the human race from becoming immortal under Asclepius' care, Zeus eventually killed him with a bolt of lightning, but placed him in the Heavens to honor his good works. Thus, this constellation is linked to the Caduceus, the magic wand of the Greek God Hermes, also known as the Staff of Asclepius, which is used as a symbol by many medical organizations. Other sources maintain that the figure of Ophiuchus is representative of the demise during the Trojan War of the Trojan priest Laocoon, who was strangled by a snake or sea-serpent after warning the Trojans against accepting the Trojan horse. Yet another interpretation of this constellation is that it depicts Apollo wrestling with the Python in order to take control of the Oracle at Delphi.

The Second Decan of Scorpio is also known as the Pisces Decante and the "Week of Depth." The influence of Neptune (this Decan's secondary ruling Planet) may prompt these talented natives to seek an escape courtesy of some form of addiction...drugs or gambling, for example. The heart here is very tender and needs careful handling. This is an individual who will search for a soul mate until one is found. However, he or she will need to be very careful in the choice of friends and companions, or suffer the consequences. Medicine and healing arts are perfect for those governed by this Decanate. In addition, it is crucial that they receive unconditional love and have a loyal, loving mate who will reinforce self-esteem. Although driven, those ruled by this Decante possess a moderating streak of charity and self-sacrifice. They seek job satisfaction above prestige. Arousing and mysterious, empathetic and faith-inspiring, these persons make for exceptional sweethearts and life-partners, which may be due in part to their love of (and indulgance in) sexual fantasies. The motto of the Second Decan of Scorpio is "Transmutation."
2nd decan con't
The constellation associated with this Decan is Ara the Altar. The original Latin name of this constellation was Ara Centauri or Altar of the Centaur Chiron, who was believed to the the most wise creature on Earth. Named in honor of this half-man/half-horse Ara was the altar upon which Chiron sacrificed Lupus the Wolf. According to one Greek legend, when Zeus had gathered allies for theTitan War, they made sacrifices on an Altar constructed by the Cyclopes to pledge their alliegance. In memorial, Zeus placed the Altar among the stars as the constellation Ara. The rising of its stars heralded the storms of late Autumn. Ara has also been referred to as the Altar of Dionysus, the Altar built by Noah after the Flood, the Altar built by Moses, and even the Altar that once resided in Solomon's Temple. Basically, this constellation commemorates the Altar on which sacrifices were made to the Gods in both Greek and Roman times.

The Third Decan of Scorpio is also known as the Cancer Decante and the "Week of Charm." The influence of the Moon (this Decan's secondary ruling Planet) lends these natives the ability to become exceptional nurturers and financial wizards. Generally speaking, a person governed by this Decante will enjoy a strong and lifelong bond with his or her mother...which is a good thing unless it results in an eventual lesser bond with the chosen mate. These individuals tend to be somewhat haughty by nature, but are fair-minded and blessed with remarkable energy. Still, they can be unyielding to the extreme. With a tendency to make sure they are right, those ruled by this Third Decan then decide that whatever they do must be on point. Subject in part to the caprices of the ever-changing Moon can create problems here. However, these natives are usually well-liked and harbor a fondness for pleasure and amusement. These are souls who desire to leave a legacy to loved ones and favorite causes. Money, privacy, loyalty and property are of supreme importance. A skilled keeper of secrets, these individuals will carry mysteries and resentments to their graves. Because they have remarkable memories and sensitive hearts, they will hang on to sorrow for an inordinate length of time. An aura of enchantment tends to surround those governed by this Decante. They are caring, abiding and more domesticated than other Scorpio natives. Canny, subtle and adaptable, to say nothing of being blessed with stunning powers of concentration, these are persons who can charm their way to wordly success...and into the heart of a chosen mate. The motto of the Third Decan of Scorpio is "Manifestation."
3rd decan con't
The constellation associated with this Decan is Corona Australis the Southern Crown. It represents the laurel wreath of victory and success. According to one legend, the Crown originally belonged to Chiron the Centaur, credited with once being the wisest of all creatures inhabiting the Earth. Yet another tale relates that Juno, wife of Jupiter in Roman myth, discovered that her husband was the lover of Semele, a human woman. Masquerading as Semele's maid, Juno suggested that Semele ask Jupiter to appear before her in all his glory. Jupiter was appalled by the request but did not refuse. When she saw him in his splendor, Semele was consumed by fire. However, her unborn child was saved, later becoming Bacchus, God of Wine, who honored his mother by placing the Crown in the Heavens as a constellation after he had rescued her from the Underworld.

it's the 3rd decans you have to be careful of...it's dark in there. But I'm the light.
So true! Two of my exes were 3rd decans. NIGHTMARE! 2nd decans are much softer, and seem to find it a little easier to open up. 😉
Naw, just BG, LS. Everyone knows the females of every species are different, i.e. better. 😛
One of my scorp g-friends is a third decan and we get along great. 😉

You know, if Bonnie and Clyde had both been scorps, they NEVER would have been caught and met such a tragic end. So that is a terrifying thought, indeed. Of course, they might have killed each other.. 🙂
BG, I was just kiddin', you big, Sensitive Stevie. 😉 I don't lump everyone into one box based on the few I've met. Try not to, anyways.

YW SD!!! Why would you want to hide in a monastery— Do you have an intense relationship with God— 😉 The key my friend is to find the right person that is able to really cultivate that intensity.

OK ok,just a rebuttal... don't get me wrong.. base from PD's post on decantes.. looks like 1st decan is the darkest.. it's the true scorpio character. I'm 2nd decan.. meaning pisces influenced (dreamer). 3rd decan has cancer influence.. who can hate a cancer? come on now..
BG you should post this as your avatar!!! G O R G E O U S!!! 😉 hehehehe

OH FFS! ROFLMAO!!!

1st decan? Those are the nicest.
One of my closest friends is a 1st decan. I never pegged her as a scorpio at first. Very level-headed, soft spoken and genuine. We worked together for years and she always had my back. She just kind of "balanced" my out-thereness. Helped me to learn when it was the right time to stand my ground and when it was okay to bend just a little bit.
Perhaps neither of you knew she was "really" a Libra or had a lot of Libra in her
and because you thought she was a Scorpio ... you trusted her ... and it worked.
Is this somewhat possible? It's ok if you say no. (She did always have your back, after all)

I've come across pretty energetic discussions on other forums where people discuss who is "more" scorpio based on the Decantes. Even diss-fests, lol - like, first decan scorps are the wimpy scorpios, third decan scorps are too 'out there and saggy', etc.
