October 24-November 22
WITHOUT SAYING A WORD, Scorpios simmer with a deep intensity. You are passion, power, drive, and obsession. Those who cross you should beware, for hell hath no fury like a Scorpio scorned. Like the Scorpion, you will lash out at enemies with a deadly and surprising sting.
Scorpios are an intensely emotional sign. They feel everything deeply and passionately, and are driven by the powerful motivation of their ruler Pluto. This rulership leads them to delve to the heart of both issues and of people. They are never content with surface appearances, seeking always to discover what lies beneath. This constant probing brings them many valuable insights into human nature. To a Scorpion this knowledge is power and it is up to the individual whether they use it to hurt or to heal. On the one hand they are capable of sharing the the most profound secrets, but are just as likely to keep their knowledge locked away and discard the key.
The depth of a Scorpion's emotions can be disconcerting even to themselves. Some make a tremendous effort to keep these forces under control, although an outer appearance of calm, detatched poise belies the turbulent nature underneath. They have immensely strong desires and are known as the most passionate sign of the zodiac. When a Scorpion falls in love, it is with an extraordinary intensity that can be overwhelming to witness. The eyes are said to be the windows to the soul, and Scorpio has a way of making you understand just what this means. A Scorpion needs to be in control above all else and can only do this by understanding you completely, knowing you in the end better than you know yourself. This need for control can manifest itself as possessiveness and jealousy at times, and no-one knows how to sting like a wounded Scorpion. It is only fair to balance this by saying that a Scorpion happily in love is strongly supportive of a partner's hopes and wishes, and will share good and bad times equally; they are compassionate and unflagging in the promotion of their lover's happiness.
Because of their natural affinity with all things hidden and mysterious, Scorpions are natural detectives. Work in the fields of psychology, medical research or investigative journalism satisfies their deep desire to unearth the answers. They may literally work below the surface. Mining operations, oil drilling and archaeology are all associated with this sign. Being a water sign they have excellent memories capable of retaining large amounts of data, this makes them good linguists or historians. The considerable energies of this sign can be channeled into the arts, where they can find a safe outlet for expressing their profound emotions.
Scorpio's sign is associated with the occult, all matters mysterious, death and rebirth. Pluto is the planet of regeneration and it inspires it's subjects, despite the fixity of the sign, to evolve continually. Scorpions have great reserves of inner strength, cope better in a crisis than anyone else, and are life's survivors. by Cambiel
