Transformation

So supposedly Scorpio's evolve and transform. From Scorpion/snake to Eagle and eventually to a Phoenix. I hope I got that right. Is this true? Has anyone here experienced that? If so, how did you evolve. I wanna become better. I work at it, but I keep falling. I try to be better than me, but fail. How did you transform?

Sounds like you are off to a good start.

It's not about the goal, it's about the journey. Hence the transformation and not the end phoenix/eagle/polar bear result.

Also, it's about not giving up.

The journey... hm... I like that. I just wanna be a better me.

Yup.

If you keep your eyes on the end goal and it's hard to reach it..focus on the journey.

Thank you. As my day has gone thus far, that means a lot. I guess I just hate feeling like I come short of what I'm going for.

You have really good insight. Thank you. 🙂

How Scorpio of you to be concerned with bettering yourself. Lol. I think that because we are so deep and reflective, we are constantly looking for ways to grow and learn. We often do this in a very private and thoughtful way and rarely allow people in to take part.

It is a journey. During the times I have felt like I was in a state of depression, I found that I was actually in a state of reflection and growth. Unfortunately growth sometimes hurts.

Continue to work on you and on the goodness and love you have within yourself. Everything else will fall into place.

Becoming a Phoenix/Polar Bear is feeling inside you that brings you happiness, I think

Coming up short and the little trip-ups and slips are a test of your will

You can do it.

^^Yes. This.

It's the wrong perception on emotion..it's seen as negative therefore it gets labeled as depression.

Take it as a plunge towards the darkness. And the night is always the darkest before dawn.

It's hard to see the end result when it's blurry. Smile and make your way through the mist.

So well put! I am thankful for the dark moments I have experienced. Without them, I would not be who I am today.

Advice from your friendly neighborhood Virgo 😄

So I take it they're adverse to baths?

This is relevant to the discussion.

London in 1940. The photo was proved to be a fake, more accurately the milkman wasn't a milkman but the photographer's assistant. However the ruins are real.

In my mind this is a good image about what life is about. You keep on going, no matter what.

A Scorpion is the only arachnipod to have made the transition from water to land. Scorpions were frozen in ice for 129 years and survived, to surface. That's the essential symbolism of Scorpio.

I did not know that. Wow very cool!

This is very very interesting. Hm... it never occurred to me.

Thanks for the words of encouragement everyone. I guess it's just frustrating. Maybe I was expecting some kind of big "ah-ha" moment. Internet made it sound like there'd be one or something like that.

Perhaps your moment has not arrived yet...meaning you are not entirely sure of "what" needs to change.

I have been going through major transformations over the last few years. Every time I think I have it just about figured out, more is revealed. Be patient. Keep soul searching. It will come to you.

Also my ah-ha moments seem to reveal themselves after scenarios represented by that photo someone posted. Maybe your catalyst just has not occurred yet, hence the confusion.
