Scorpion

Ruled by Mars and Pluto.

I create.

Delver or demon.

Fixed Water. Emotion, sensation, power, communication, ideas, depth, all concerns of water, solidify in Scorpio, into the powerful, well-defended, intense, passionate, physical being. Scorpio is the beginning of winter, when the plants all appear to die. Scorpio influences in the chart (Eighth house, or planets in Scorpio) create an emphasis on transmutation of power. This can manifest as deep, satisfying relationships and a rich enjoyment of a creative, spiritual life.

Scorpio, when active in the chart, is intelligent, aggressive, agile, secretive, intense, calculating, guarded, competitive, able to make quick decisions, energetic, intuitive, controlling, healing, talented, affectionate, responsive, has "animal magnetism," ages well, purposeful, self-directed, faces adversity, a reformer, quick witted, open minded yet conservative, strategist, discriminating, witty, demands proof, charming, vibrant, artistic, loves debate, daring, undaunted, hardworking, articulate, persuasive, resourceful, philosophical, has a strong sense of self and purpose, dignified, passionate, shrewd, has mechanical/technical ability, attracted to mystery.

Unfavorable Scorpio can be jealous, phobic, over-possessive, likes to provoke problems and crisis, uses people, vengeful, resentful, spiteful, sadistic, sarcastic, mocking, cold blooded, keeps grudges, too quickly imtimate, brooding, coldly critical, deceptive, paranoid, impatient, sexually driven without fulfillment, argumentative, crude, arrogant, combative, selfish, bad with money, a back stabber, angry, depressed, an extremist, or tricks people for fun.

Scorpio needs purpose, direction, and goals. More than most, it becomes frustrated, wasteful, and even destructive when aimless or bored. It can become obsessive, sexually extreme, depraved, power-mad, vicious, manipulative, misogynistic or misanthropic, merciless, antisocial, malicious, ruthless, selfish, vindictive, cruel, and brutal.

Its "Teflon" shell makes Scorpio especially image-conscious. Scorpio is very cautious about its dignity. When this is reversed, we see displays of malicious vulgarity, or deliberate efforts to subvert the Dignified.

Scorpio feeds on the emotion of others, getting beneath surface appearances and probing for secrets and intrigues, while at the same time cloaking its own feelings and intentions. Scorpio is penetrating and impenetrable at the same time. Because of this emotion-controlling, others feel at a disadvantage sometimes, wanting a freer give and take. Scorpio should lighten up, and wear it's heart on its sleeve sometimes. Be ingenuous, not disingenuous.

Domains of Scorpio are anything requiring focus, passion, and endurance: Medicine, law, engineering, physics, teaching, art, music, mysticism, meditation, emotional arenas, power struggles, coercive or militaristic environments, teaching, and philosophy.

Scorpio, when active in the chart, can bring compulsive behavior, and a drive to control people and situations. Taurus, Capricorn, and Cancer share these traits, but Scorpio and Capricorn are most apt to take them to extremes.

Scorpio enjoys having power over others, like its opposite, Taurus, but much more. The Scorpion's strategy is to penetrate, while the Taurus approach is to permeate. (Taurus is Venus ruled - Scorpio is Mars ruled).

Scorpio, ruled by Mars, is the masculine force, stripped of niceties, even though it is considered a feminine sign (each alternates). Scorpio wants to control, to take charge of things, to plant itself into its subjects, to extend itself outward into its environment.

Since its discovery, Pluto has been given rulership of Scorpio; it is seen as the higher octave of Mars. Pluto takes Martian/Aries urgency to a higher level, to the "big picture." Pluto is the mortality/death aspect of Scorpio, showing the soul the gates of infinity, and presenting a deadline for working out the soul's karmic issues. Pluto empowers too, with its "life or death" determination.

Scorpio is "eye-intense" - it penetrates and acquires - exercise of power for its own sake - Power is its own justification.

Scorpio is a predator by instinct. It is archetype of predators in general; sharks, piranhas, tigers, birds of prey, spiders, or humans.

Like the other water signs, Scorpio is symbolized by a primitive, hard-shelled creature. But the Scorpion is a land animal, showing its movement up the ladder.

Scorpio is also given the image of an eagle. The Lower Octave of Scorpio crawls on the ground, and the Higher Octave flies to the sun.

Scorpio is the deep water of the ocean, or a frozen glacier.

Scorpio, Cancer and Pisces influences all can bring problems with addiction, psychological imbalance, and isolation.

Lessons for Scorpio include being open, frank, communicative, generous, guileless, letting others take the lead occasionally, right use of power, and setting spiritual goals.

Scorpio rules the genitals.

For Scorpio, the Shadow takes an ironic form, since Scorpio's domain is the shadow, of having obvious flaws that you are oblivious to. For all your control, in a way you cannot see, you have a great vulnerability. The shadow manifests as people becoming impassive with you, digging their heels in, and refusing to perform for you. Work with your shadow, and the people you project it onto, by opening up yourself, and revealing your intense candour, that others find so endearing. The more you deny your Shadow, the more it will manifest itself and attract what you will interpret as disruption or pain.

The Eighth house has the character of Scorpio: planets in this house are concerned with Power; in mundane astrology the 'house of inheritance-' the deeper meaning is 'use of power in relation to others.' Relational power dynamics, and manipulating them, is Scorpio's passion. This house shows sexual issues, manner of death, inheritance, psychic ability, possessions, and financial conditions. The 8th house is the end of the "Cult of Personality" trend of the second four signs.

The water triplicity is Scorpio (fixed), followed by Pisces (mutable), and then Cancer (cardinal).

Insecurity = More Noise

" mean why dontppl post such big dramaticially written stuff on other signs??"

Because maybe there isn't anything dramatic on the other signs..they are all turds!

"insecurity = more noise"

Is that why you come and voice your opinions so often?

turd (t?rd) Pronunciation Key
n. Vulga.
A piece of excrement.
Slang. A contemptible person.

LOL.."answer me MM...."

I don't answer to anyone...And by now you should've realised I am having a moment..

"Is that why you come and voice your opinions so often?"

Well Said ...U r intelligent indeed.

"I don't answer to anyone...And by now you should've realised I am having a moment.."

I love this kind of vanity. I see some vulnerability here.

Well you know where you can stick your vulnerability!

Very Kissable.

PM: "who too was feeling kinda low...
but thats what scorps dont realize...its not just them who r sensitive..."

It was all in jest...you didn't take me seriously did you? And I kinda figured you were feeling down without you even saying anything....

Kris: "If you want to control the females you simply tell them a sob story or a deep tragic one they will keep on being sympathetic to you and will be at your feet."

Hahahaa...Right..you have it all figured out.

My ego doesn't really give a shit what you think..

Can't help my impulsive nature

Wherez Pluto Rani...MissMorals ...guess U stung her accidentally. And regret U wont.

I didn't sting anyone intentionally..I guess she took the reference to "everyone else is a turd" personally...I was just fooling around..Sometimes when your feeling delicate as it is...anything can strike a chord..

Kris - yeah your right, I am not that impulsive..maybe it was a desire to have the last word 😛

"And regret U wont."

Loving the Yoda speech

LOL....I just love playin with the sting ....itz the stamp vs sting struggle.

"I didn't sting anyone intentionally..I guess she took the reference to "everyone else is a turd" personally...I was just fooling around..Sometimes when your feeling delicate as it is...anything can strike a chord."

Maybe she thought that she could scare a superwoman into a corner ...that she could tame the wildest ...Reality check.

U love to stir don't you...

Stirrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Indeed.

I love to torture. Playful.

Of course Pluto will come around...Shez a sweeto.

pay attention... i did post the same stuff for virgos on the virgo board.

This so screams my mom... although "Sexually extreme" is questionable.

And she does have my Taurus father on his knees... for months now, and I am getting so tired =__=

i have to say that, being a scorp, i agree with you kris regarding the emotional manipulation- dishing it out and being vulnerable to it. my destruction has been many a manipulative man with a sob story. alas, learned my lesson.

Hey Kris,

I think you are right. Perhaps some sob story would trick water signs to get manipulated. But you must not forget that water is the strongest element. We get revenge, remember.

One sob story fine, if they keep blithering on about it..its like "yawn" move on...I can't stand victim mentality...

agreed miss morals, i have a line of tolerance, i can stand only so much pathetic, woe- is-me behavior, once that line is crossed there's no getting me back to my good side- i'm through with the whole thing.

Yep true say..I lose all respect for that person..once the respect is gone..

Ta ta...

p.s I like your profile, made me chuckle : Describe yourself - mysterious (obviously(

Hehe

hehe 😉

uh! my hehe (though the natural response) went right under your hehe, how redundant !

How scorpionic 😉

Y'know, the sting of a scorpion will NOT kill most mammals but it will kill ITSELF?

Ever watched a scorpion sting itself? It's easy.

Just add a drop of whiskey onto its back.

The scorpion will sting itself.

That's all it takes.

Just a drop.

Evolved scorpios (the Eagle) are to be highly respected.

Lesser evolved ones--the ones that seem to revere in their so-called "badboy/badgirl-I-can-sting-you" attitude -- are not at all cool.

They try to "justify" their petty revenge/sting by playing the victim & saying that THEY were the ones that were betrayed.

But really, the scorpios that I respect the most are the ones that brush it off,bounce back and let the matter slide. ie, the Eagles.

I see a lot of potential in scorpios if only they didn't waste their time on planning elaborate revenge schemes. That energy can be channeled elsewhere.

"Just add a drop of whiskey onto its back.

The scorpion will sting itself."

LOL..Yeah can't help that addictive personality..wherever theres alcohol..count me there!

Two words-Snails. Salt.

Eeeeevil.

Well, I never tried it myself, an Aqua/Pisces told me about it.

I thought those guys are supposed to be angels.😛

MM gets pom poms out..

Go DB Go DB Go DB

I thought for a minute somebody might come back with pom poms eh (wink wink nudge nudge)..But alas people disappoint again!!..sigh..

Oh bless DB and his faithful ways...sho shweeet..

DB: Well thats fabulous..really!..Lucky Kav..she's bagged the man with the sultry look 😉

Good on ya

I don't like insects...They digust me..

It's funny how we women always talk about wanting a man who is faithful to us and respects us and then as soon as there is one, we give him crap....no wonder guys are confused.....

Kavendra

"no wonder guys are confused"

Women are confused/fickled. Men just think different.

Remember, Women are from Mars Men are from Venus...we are different and always will be different.

Crap comes in different forms. The question is what type of crap are we women and men gonna put up with with each other

Some women put up with to much crap from men

And men put up with women crap

It is all about finding an even medium to make the crap work together.

It is all about finding an even medium to make the crap work together

🙂 what a great way of putting that 🙂 I agree!

"we give him crap....no wonder guys are confused....."

Do people not understand humour on these boards or something!..

I think its great DB is like that and openly admits to it as well..but its like when you tease your mate at the bar..Under the thumb..pussy whipped..all in jest..

🙂

** The scorpion will sting itself.

That's all it takes.

Just a drop.

and that is the moment the dead scorpion becomes the eagle...**

Or remains a dead insect.

DB: An Eagle is just a phase like the scorpion, no scorpion stays in one phase forever...if he or she did, it would go against our ability to evolve...The same qualities that creates the eagle is the same for the scorpion, and the tide will turn when a scorpion becomes the eagle and the eagle becomes the scorpion.

So the way to evolve is to be wishy-washy? To flip from Eagle one instant & then back to a scorpion the next? The original bipolar disorder schizophreniacs? Or the virgin (eagle)-whore(scorpion) complex?

DB: Not all lesser evolved ones will have "badboy-I_can-sting-you" attitude.

Yet a lot do.

They try to "justify" their petty revenge/sting by playing the victim & saying that THEY were the ones that were betrayed.

DB: The act of attacking back is not about playing the victim, it's about making the other person be the victim.

Hmmm...... to make the other a victim? ie, to hurt other people?

2 scenarios:

A) In order to victimize others you need a justification. With scorp, often the justification is to "become a victim" in order to "make others the vitim". That way, he/she can stay guilt-free & say, "hey, he/she did it to me first. I only did onto others what they did onto me" A PERCEIVED slight is often seen as a justification to victimize others. Yet that slight could have been completely unintentional.

B) In order to victimize others you sometimes don't have ANY justification. Then such a person cannot be said to be evolved. Why hurt others without justification.....but claiming that you do have one?

But really, the scorpios that I respect the most are the ones that brush it off,bounce back and let the matter slide. ie, the Eagles.

DB: ...an eagle would have gone through the feelings associated with revenge, and would understand the phases a scorpion must go through.

So, in order to become an eagle you need to hurt other people & seek revenge so that one can "experience the the feelings associated with revenge" and to "understand the phases a scorpion must go through."

Hmmmm....I see.

I see a lot of potential in scorpios if only they didn't waste their time on planning elaborate revenge schemes. That energy can be channeled elsewhere.

DB: Maybe you should do the same and get off your high horse...

I often get on & get off a half-horse.....those saggies can be quite good in the sack 🙂

I didn't post here to ruffle any feathers....or to crush any scorpions with my hiking boots.

My intention was for folks to acknowledge that constantly planning elaborate revenge schemes is such a waste of a scorpio's energy. As is contantly feeling that someone is out to 'get' you.

I have a great deal of respect for them because I see a lot of potential & drive in them. They have vision.

Unfortunately, in many cases that I know, those visons & potentials are unfulfiled because of scorpio's penchant for self-destruction while seeking needless revenge.

THAT was the intention of my original post earlier: To point out the potential of scorpios.

I reiterate my own words from that post:

I see a lot of potential in scorpios if only they didn't waste their time on planning elaborate revenge schemes. That energy can be channeled elsewhere.

Seeking revenge--while revelling in the reputation as a "dangerous" zodiac sign--is such a waste of time.

Why not become known as the sign that uses it's tremendous energy to fulfil its visions?

I concur.

"Seeking revenge--while revelling in the reputation as a "dangerous" zodiac sign"

Do you understand how ridiculous this statement is?
