ASSOCIATION OF SCORPIO Ruling planet : Pluto Color : Dark red, maroon Gemstone : Opal Metal : Steel or Iron Flower : Rhododendron and Geranium BASIC PERSONALITY Jealousy is the worst Scorpio fault, and not only in relationships: Scorpios can be jealous of colleagues and of other people's possessions. This can, however, act as a spur: seeing the progress of others, Scorpios may be inspired to do equally well or better. The Scorpio body area is the genitals, and this may partly explain the sign's overly sexy reputation. Sun sign Scorpios need just as much sexual fulfillment as everyone else and may suffer more if they don't achieve it, but that certainly doesn't mean every Scorpio is a putative sex-maniac! A great many of them express their sex drives through sport; the women may even devote themselves to becoming perfect housewives. The important thing is that the drive is properly directed and fully extended, and not allowed to stagnate and waste. Most Scorpios are capable of deep, incisive and analytical thought; they have a powerful urge to get to the root of any problem. TRADITONAL TRAITS OF SCORPIO
HEALTH,DIET AND EXERCISE Just as Scorpio energy must be evenly spent and controlled, so the physical system need a regular, controlled diet. That may not be easy;there is a tendency towards self-indulgence in food and drink,which often provokes stomach upsets or constipation. Moderation doesn't come easy to Scorpios but they must cultivate it, both in diet and exercise, for what starts out as a keen interest in sport and exercise can get out of hand,causing strain. They must not hesitate to slow down when necessary. PARTNERSHIP A Scorpio, who is all energy,needs a conductor. If the energy is not able to strike home and be received and used in some way, there will be problems,so it is most important in a personal relationship that the partner is not cold or undemonstrative. Scorpios, overwhelmed by the attractions of a possible partner, can put all their energy into the chase, and persist even when it is obvious that the object of their affections is unsuitable. Difficulties will follow. In the stressful periods of a relationship, the Scorpio's tendency to be secretive and vindictive (even to the point of cruelty) may emerge, but other areas of an individual birth chart may modify these characteristics.
