Scorpio The Scorpion (October 23rd to November 22nd)
I am SCORPIO: Overwhelm me – Ruled by Pluto (and Mars)
The legend of the SCORPIO precedes them. Even before he or she enters the room, before they open their mouths to utter a peep the whole room has inexplicably hushed in anticipation. Everyone is watching, in that studied nonchalant way that betrays the fact that of course, they themselves are not SCORPIO’S. You see, to the SCORP himself, all this attention is annoyingly silly, trivial really. ‘So what if I’m a little bit intense,’ she thinks. ‘If they can’t handle it then they can just buzz off, I couldn’t care less,’ he tells himself. But secretly they wonder why other people are always so fascinated with them, why other people always seem to make up and believe these Machiavellian intrigues about them. ‘All I did was answer the phone,’ she scoffs, ‘and now everyone is buzzing on about how I am having a secret affair with that Italian Grand Prix driver. Hmm, he does have a nice ass though.’
Is she or isn’t she? It certainly wouldn’t be beyond the SCORPION to punish an inattentive or abusive partner or lover for their insouciance. And never mind the fact that sex in all it’s variations and permutations is endlessly fascinating to them, occupying more than enough of their mental real estate to qualify as a National Monument. It’s no wonder that they keep their mouths firmly shut, secreting away their private thoughts. After all, they understand all too well that if they let it slip that they think so-and-so has great curves, before they know it everyone will be eyeing them suspiciously.
You see SCORPIO’S are comfortable, no make that fascinated with power in all it’s forms and permutations. And since very few things really frighten them, they can’t understand why they should frighten everyone else. Spend the night in that haunted house? You bet! Says the SCORP, no wonder other people get a little bit uneasy around them sometimes.
On some level all SCORPIO’S are dealing with karma of feeling unwanted or deeply thwarted at a profound and deep level. For this reason he or she is fascinated with what makes all of humanity tick. Deep, searching and penetrating minds belong to these people, not to mention sexy, charismatic, magnetic, brooding personalities and eyes that bore right through you seeming to look into your very soul. Well, don’t bother trying to hide in there; they readily understand the most intense, overwhelming and often unconscious motives that exist in the human psyche. They already live there.
And this is why they are represented by not one but three symbols in Astrology. They learn about themselves through the concepts represented by their opposing power – TAURUS, namely consistency, stability, and self-sufficiency of resources and an appreciation of the physical. Once they have transcended the intense, reactive reptilian–brained reactions associated with the SCORPION, they learn to become the SERPENT, legendary for his healing and rejuvenating powers. You see once our slinky friend has learned to transcend his baser motives, he is glad to assist you in doing the same – provided that you are willing to be as honest as he was in looking into your own sub-conscious and confronting the demons that lurk there. And finally the EAGLE or sometimes the PHOENIX represents the highest form of SCORPIO. This is the light gentle incarnation of SCORPIO. These are the ones who soar on vision quests and lead the rest of us to an understanding and appreciation of a higher order.
If you love a SCORPIO, study Transcendental Meditation with them, or better yet, Tantric Yoga. Share your deepest secrets and thoughts with her, promise undying loyalty. Your sexy SCORPIO will find every secret passionate place within you and play you like a violin. They are really seeking depth, merging and connection. Once he has captured you, he wants to keep you for good.
