About Scorpio
Scorpio is the eighth Sign of the Zodiac, and you shouldn't take
that lightly. You shouldn't take Scorpios lightly, either. Those
born under this Sign are dead serious in their mission to learn
about others. There's no fluff or chatter for Scorpios, either:
these folks will zero in on the essential questions, gleaning the
secrets that lie within. Scorpios concern themselves with beginnings
and endings, and are unafraid of either; they also travel in a world
which is black and white and has little use for gray. The curiosity
of Scorpios is immeasurable, which may be why they are such adept
investigators. These folks love to probe and know how to get to
the bottom of things. The fact that they have a keen sense of intuition
certainly helps.
It's the Scorpion which symbolizes Scorpios, and it's no accident.
Much like the Scorpion would rather kill itself than be killed,
those born under this Sign are the ones who are in ultimate control
of their destiny. It is life on the Scorpion's terms, too, since
these folks promote their agenda (they are quite the executives)
and see to it that things go forward. Others may find this overbearing
(it can be) and even self-destructive, but that's the beauty of
the Scorpion: these folks have tremendous regenerative powers, much
like the literal Scorpion can lose its tail and promptly grow a
new one. Fearless Scorpions rarely lose, per se, they just keep
on going, since they are stubborn and determined to succeed (this
Scorpio trait is in keeping with the Fixed Quality assigned to this
Sign). Scorpios work as hard as they do so they can someday sit
back and feel satisfied with themselves. These folks are intense,
passionate and filled with desire. They're also complex and secretive,
so don't expect to get much out of them, lest they become suspicious
and exit stage left. It's best not to bet against Scorpios, either,
since these folks are surprisingly resourceful.
Scorpio is ruled by the Planets Mars and Pluto. Mars was the God
of War in ancient Roman mythology and is the first (and most ancient)
ruler of Scorpio. When Pluto was discovered in the 20th century,
it was also assigned to this Sign. Pluto was known as the God of
the Underworld in ancient Roman times, so when coupled with Mars,
expect some intense energy to head toward Scorpions here on Earth.
This planetary combo makes for people who are motivated, penetrating
and aware. Scorpions don't miss much, since they are highly attuned
to the vibrations of others. They are intuitive, probing and very
focused on knowing who's who and what's what. Scorpions can lose
their temper (and even become vengeful) when someone gets in their
way, so it's best to give them plenty of room. Remember, they're
unafraid, and a loss today simply means an opportunity for victory
tomorrow.
The Element associated with Scorpio is Water. As opposed to the
'roiling seas' seen in other Water Signs, a better motto for Scorpions
would be 'still waters run deep.' Those born under this Sign are
as emotional as their waterborne brethren, it's just that they're
not as likely to show it. The Scorpio's emotions are repressed,
kept under cover. Again, secrets to be used another day. That said,
be aware that these folks are clever, perceptive and always in the
mix. Their ability to see into things can sometimes be a curse for
Scorpions, however, since they can take an insignificant matter
and turn it into a huge slight. Beware the Scorpion who feels crossed!
These folks can turn vindictive in no time flat. Luckily, once Scorpions
catch their breath, they will return to their usual determined and
loyal (albeit strong-willed) ways. Finally, while Scorpions aren't
above some subtle manipulation to get what they want, they'd much
rather take a scientific, even mystical path. The Scorpio-born are
powerful and passionate, qualities which serve them well, as long
as they don't let them deteriorate into self-indulgence or compulsion.
Scorpios love competition in both work and play, which is why they'll
air it out in sports and games. Extreme sports are right up the
Scorpion's alley, as is most anything which will test their mettle.
They've got to have an adversary, since it makes the game that much
more fun. The Scorpion's colors? Powerful red and serious black.
When it comes to love, though, Scorpions soften up a bit and are
caring and devoted with their lovers, even if they do hold on a
bit tight. Scorpions are also lusty in the extreme (how else?),
so they need to be mindful of their reproductive organs.
The great strength of the Scorpio-born is in their determination,
passion and motivation. Scorpions don't know the word quit, which
is why they usually get the job done. A powerhouse? Like no other.
