Scorpios and Pets

I've known and I currently know A LOT of scorpios. From my experience, they don't seem to own pets very much. I've read recently (from this forum) about a scorpio who has never owned a pet and another who says that pets are a huge responsibility (duh) and that a scorpio would have to be 110% which is why they prefer not to even go there. MY THEORY is that they prefer people as pets. Not animals.

My best bud is a scorp. He had a Great Dane for years and loved that thing more than his wife.

(So did we).

lol

i have a cat. never liked cats until i got him.

i've always preferred dogs as pets. specifically german shepherds and rottweilers.

warholian .. I know a lot of Scorpio's also ... 3 being close family members ...... Father, Brother & Son ...

When I was a little girl, my father wouldn't allow pets .... he said that they die, and will cause us grief. Being a Pisces girl, I brought home every stray imaginable, and every time, my dad would find a home for them because he wouldn't be able to bear how it would effect me (the family) when the animal died.

This is something I've never forgotten ... and now that you bring this topic up, I've reflected back to my brother and son.

My brothers wife (Gem) insists on having dogs, and my brother doesn't really want any, yet, he owns them because she wants dogs. He refuses to allow the dogs to eat anything unhealthy (like people food), and does everything possible that they live a long-life. When asked, he would answer something similar to my late father .... because it will hurt my wife when the animal dies.

My son LOVES animals ... when we had to put one of our family dogs down, my son literally broke-down and cried like a little girl. He owns cats and when one of them got hit by a car ... he was devastated, and then wanted to find homes for his other cats because the death of them is too unbearable for him to take.


So, in conclusion ..... my opinion from observation of Scorpios, I would say that Scorpios don't HATE pets ... they hate the pain it causes themselves and their families when the animal dies, because there has been emotional attachment to this creature ... and in knowing how protective Scorpios are of their loved ones, this seems perfectly normal for a Scorpio to go against owning a pet, to prevent this grief within thier family's heart.

good to know. all of this makes sense. two of the scorpios i know are really into pet sitting. i didn't say they hate animals per se, just that they rarely own them. plus i wanted to add a smartass aside about their possessive nature otherwise. hugs!

I'm the same way, FA .... the love of the animal outwieghs the pain of the loss.

It's just a matter of perspective, I suppose ... how one views this, and perhaps a possessiveness comes into play here with Scorpios, on a level that isn't obvious.

To have the love of an animal, or anything for that matter is about the quality of the life .. and not about time. To love for a minute, or for a life-time equals out the same = love.

To provide love to and for an animal, or a person ... is about this very love for the benefit of love, itself. If a person views this love in terms of loss, and so shields this love from being present ... then in essence, there is no desire to have a celebration of the life.

For myself, I never think in terms of my pets dying ... I think in terms of how happy they are as they are alive, and being able to help make them happy, and to enjoy that their happy.

"i wanted to add a smartass aside about their possessive nature otherwise."



Yeah, I know .... I got that 😉


The tone got changed, lol

And in thinking about this as an object of Love for another ... I can see this condition in a Scorpio as it pertains to their relationships, as well. And Aries people often fall under this category as well when they are young Rams.


There is a need to prevent love from developing that stems from a fear of loss = the creation of jealousy and possessiveness.

A person who lives by this fear .. will go against any kind of love from another person or object in their partner. Such as: the development of friends, a passion of some kind, a closeness with family members.

A person who has the desire to celebrate love for their partners benefit, would actually encourage the development of friends, passions and closeness with family.

It's appears to be about the terror of losing a love, as love being an object for possession .... and not really about a desire for their partner to rejoice in a love, itself, for their own benefit to bring the quality of love in their partners life.

I had two cats for 18 years and when I took on that responsibility I really took it on. As much as I loved my pets, now that they are gone I have decided that I don't want the responsibility again. It was very hard to have a relationship when I had pets. (Are all men allergic to cats??) I'm replacing my cats with a relationship instead and giving that the same attention that I did to my pets. I think most of us Scorpios are just so loyal that we think twice before taking on those responsibilities lightly.

In fact, this appears to be present in most every sun sign when they are emotionally young and haven't fully experienced the joy that is brought to their partners by embracing a love, for and in, itself, for the sake of life quality.

But, it appears that Scorpios are late in life when they shed this skin of fear of loss.

Me niether, April .... however, most people mature mentally in life, but, pretty much are slow to mature emotionally, if ever.


And that's ^^^^^^ why so many people have issues with people, such as yourself, who can view things from an emotionally impersonal standpoint, as view it as a subjective judgement against them.

Same with anything in life ... emotional strength comes from facing what would hurt you if you ignored it, weakness comes from ignoring that which wouldn't have hurt you, if you had only faced it.

For the majority .. people fear facing because to do so might hurt, so they ignore ... then when someone is in their presence who isn't afraid of a truth, and voices it .... this voice then becomes a personal assault ... when in reality, it was simply the truth presented for the intentions of facing.


Anyway .. you already know this, so it's like preaching to the choir 🙂

How can people love pets more than family members? I've witnessed this phenomena on numerous occasions.

I can't imagine scorps not wanting pets, although I do know some who are more into "kids" then pets, and didn't have pets growing up. I was an only child growing up and always had pets, and to this day prefer animals to the company of people, unless it's good company, which I find rarely. Animals are LOYAL, people are not. Far better companion/child substitute for me, I like my peace and quite too much, once you have kids that goes away real fast.

And I'm only jealous when it comes to sharing a man....I would never be jealous of someones pet, that's absurd, any scorp who would needs self help books. Now Leos on the other hand love being the center of attention. Give an animal attention with an insecure leo man around and there will be hell to pay.
