So, we Scorpios (and rightly so) are well known for our tempers. I know I can get very heated, very easily . While my anger has never gotten too out of hand (no violence), I have snapped a phone in half (when I slammed it down) after a heated argument.

For the most part I have been known for snapping at someone at the drop of a hat, especially when I feel like I have been slighted in some way. I have also said a few things that were very hurtful because I knew it would be hurtful. I can swear like a trucker if you rub me the wrong way. I have even been a "little" spiteful--but never unprovoked . For the most part I leave people alone, but I don't like it when people cross me .

Anyway, I have four questions:
1) What are the types of things that upset you ?
2a) What is the worst thing you've done when angered by someone? b) What was it that the person did?
3) What are you doing, if anything to evolve into a calmer, wiser Scorpio ?

Can't wait to hear your replies.

Well... I once had a scorp get ridiculously pissed at me because I put a can of green beans in with pasta and marinara.

I wish I could say there was more to the story than that. It's not like there was some deep hate or traumatic exp with canned green beans. No, I wasn't privy to such info. if there were. Just flipped out over canned green beans.

...yup. lol. The look I was given prevented me from laughing out loud, but I was definitely laughing inside.

I am not laughing at you, but with you. WTH?

My only question is why?
Lol what do you all go through in life that make things that serious?



I can't speak for Scorpios, only myself. I just take life in general seriously. From how I see myself, to how I treat others or how they treat me. Add my cultural background, experience (I don't believe astrology explains everything) and my seriousness is multiplied tenfold.

people talking behind my back makes me really angry to the point of rage. not while they're talking behind my back of course...don't give a shit what people say that i don't hear but it's when i get to hear something i know isn't right and it's usually something horrible and sordid.

i had heard this pisces 'friend' of mine had been bitching about me while i'd been in hospital having surgery for breast cancer. she was out there telling the world that i was making it up to get attention. my kids were 11 and 7 then..so it was a particularly nasty accusation imo. her daughter had been taunting my 7 year old daughter at school about it to the point where she was in tears every time i picked her up from the school bus.

then one day i snapped. i'll try and rise above things generally but my little girl was in tears yet again cos of what this brat had been saying about me and she already had to deal with it herself....for real!

so i hoiked the pisces in to the bar near school and gave her the opportunity to tell me what the fuck was going on. she was such an evil bitch that she clearly had no problem telling me to my face that i was fake despite me having a huge visible wound on my upper chest....saying the lengths i went to were utterly ridiculous.

beyond that, i have no recollection of what happened. i'm a proper red mist angry person. my canadian friend said i'm the angriest white woman he's ever known which i consider to be an accolade of the highest order, lol.

my cancerian friend removed our kids from the fight scene but told me afterwards that i went straight for the jugular with my tongue-lashing and the pisces didn't stand a chance. i do remember the urge to bitch slap her was very strong but i didn't. i'd already reduced her to a snivelling ball of snot with my mouth.

if i'm right and i know i'm right, i'm like a pitbull if challenged. if it involves my kids in any way, it's a totally blind rage. i've been physically violent with this kind of rage...mostly with my ex husband...which is something that disturbs me for a long while afterward. my anger really scares me sometimes....mostly cos i'm convinced i'm justified...not saying i'm always right in reality...and i won't let go of the issue until i've had my revenge.

Rig, I had a Pisces woman accuse me of faking a broken baby toe so I get could attention during her wedding--I was a bridesmaid! It hurt that she would honestly think I would do something like that. But I put it down to nerves and, therefore, crammed my broken toe into a pair of heels so I wouldn't have to wear the foot cast shoe they gave me. My toe is permanently disfigured because of it. :/

Honestly, for me that was the straw that broke the camel's back on that friendship. Who accuses someone of faking an accident to get attention? Not someone I need in my life, that's who...



well this pisces had some kinda munchausen's thing going on anyway cos anything anyone had wrong with them, she'd already had it...been there, survived that, blah, blah. one of our close friends had a brain tumour and we found out when we were at the school gates, within SECONDS the pisces was regaling us with her own brain tumour story.....seriously, WHO DOES THAT!!

even when i got my date for surgery, she told me how she'd had surgery to remove a mystery lump from her breast literally days before her wedding...she came round from the anasthethic and ripped all the tubes away from her and called out to her husband..'did they take my breast away?'. I MEAN FFS!!! anyone who actively competes with serious illnesses is a basket short of a picnic imo.

generally, i love pisces women though...that one was some kind of mutant fish!

generally though. if you're angry and you know it, kick some ass!
