 Having
slinky Scorpio as your star sign means
the Sun in the zodiac blazed in a passionate
water sign on your birthday. The Sun in
astrology stands for your inner nature
and stamps your innermost character. Scorpio,
the eighth sign of the Zodiac, is a feminine
sign ruled by fierce Mars, the warrior
planet and dark Pluto, the planet of transformation.
A fixed (strong and solid) sign, Scorpio
governs will and authority. Scorpio people
are passionate and emotional, with very
deep feelings. Although you are a loyal
and dedicated friend, you are fiercely
competitive, subject to fits of vindictive
jealousy and can be quite manipulative
in pursuit of your goals.
Symbols for Scorpio are the scorpion,
a ground-dwelling killer with a poisonous
sting in its tail and the eagle, a far-seeing
predator soaring above petty problems
into the spiritual sky. Scorpio's real
involvement is not primarily based on
love or even pleasure, but on the control
and understanding of human emotions and
the role they play in the mysterious processes
of life and death. Though you may not
spend your life pondering the mysteries
of life and death, you are inquisitive
and probing, fascinated with how things
and people work. Your mental and physical
powers of recuperation are remarkable
- and truly evolved (eagle) Scorpios can
learn to use their power to help and inspire
others.
Determined Scorpio, a fixed sign, can
be rather stubborn and resistant to imposed
changes. In many ways this is a plus,
for it gives you the stamina to accomplish
things in life, due to your tenacity.
On the surface you may seem easy-going,
congenial, and gregarious, but you are
also extremely tenacious with a need to
manipulate and control your situations.
Keys to your success are a strong will
and the ability to get to the bottom of
things. You want answers and will doggedly
persist until you get them.
The fiery energy of Mars shines out when
you are enthusiastic; it attracts and
inspires others. Your intensity can be
overwhelming, but also subtle, for your
considerable energy is not aroused or
employed just to have something to do
- as is often the case with Aries, the
other Mars-ruled personality. Unlike Aries,
Scorpio is not openly combative, unless
it becomes necessary. Your privacy is
tightly protected, so others only get
to know you up to a point. You may not
show any sign of inner struggle, but when
you are after something (or someone) your
determination is fierce. Should you not
be favoured in the outcome, you are neither
a willing nor a gracious loser. Nevertheless,
you are not arrogant, being generally
interested in others and what they have
to say, although you often exhibit a self-sufficiency
which implies there isn't much you don't
already know.
The transformative energy of Pluto motivates
you, as you delve into the deepest mysteries
of life. Whether you are trying to get
to the bottom of a murder, or some heinous
crime, or whether you are saving a life
through your surgical skills, or pursuing
a meditative magical mystery tour, you
characteristically seek to uncover the
truth or to transform raw materials into
things of great power and beauty. Relationships
are not exempt from this probing, so anyone
involved with you must prepare for profound
changes in themselves, their mysterious
partner and the relationship itself.
Emotions govern your first reactions
to every experience in life. Although
instinctive emotions generate the strongest
motivations for your behaviour, you are
not prone to wearing your heart on your
sleeve (unlike the other Water Signs,
those feeling-oriented Cancerians and
Pisceans). You need to dominate relationships
and rarely display your true feelings,
holding back something of yourself, even
at your most open and communicative moments.
Although you may not intentionally set
out to be mysterious, you manage to appear
enigmatic anyway. You hate being crossed
or manipulated, and can react to such
treatment with sarcasm and vengefulness.
Scorpio rules the reproductive organs
and excretory system, so those with Scorpio
active in their charts suffer headaches,
infections and fevers, along with various
illnesses to do with what used to be called
the secret parts. You have, however, a
strong constitution and can usually overcome
your problems, many of which are of your
own making, due to your clandestine activities.
Scorpio colours are red,
black, midnight blue, and emerald green.
Scorpio rules metallic iron and your birthstone
is the topaz. Topaz, one of the hardest
minerals, cannot be cut with a knife.
It is yet another representation of the
impenetrable Scorpio nature. Scorpio flowers
include the anemone, heather, and gardenia.
