About Your Sign...
Scorpios are the most intense, profound, powerful characters in the zodiac. Even
when they appear self-controlled and calm there is a seething intensity of emotional
energy under the placid exterior. They are like the volcano not far under the surface of a
calm sea, it may burst into eruption at any moment. But those of us who are particularly
perceptive will be aware of the harnessed aggression, the immense forcefulness, magnetic
intensity, and often strangely hypnotic personality under the tranquil, but watchful
composure of Scorpio. In conventional social gatherings they are pleasant to be with,
thoughtful in conversation, dignified, and reserved, yet affable and courteous; they
sometimes possess penetrating eyes which make their shyer companions feel naked and
defenseless before them.
In their everyday behavior they give the appearance of being withdrawn from the center of
activity, yet those who know them will recognize the watchfulness that is part of their
character. They need great self-discipline, because they are able to recognize the
qualities in themselves that make them different from other humans, and to know their
utterly conventional natures can be used for great good, or great evil. Their tenacity and
willpower are immense, their depth of character and passionate conviction overwhelming,
yet they are deeply sensitive and easily moved by their emotions. Their sensitivity,
together with a propensity for extreme likes and dislikes make them easily hurt, quick to
detect insult or injury to themselves (often when none is intended) and easily aroused to
ferocious anger. This may express itself in such destructive speech or action that they
make lifelong enemies
by their outspokenness, for they find it difficult not to be overly critical of anything
or anyone to whom they take a dislike.
They can harness their abundant energy constructively, tempering their self-confidence
with shrewdness and their ambition with magnanimity toward others provided they like them.
They relate to fellow workers only as leaders and can be blunt to those they dislike to
the point of cruelty. In fact they are not above expressing vindictiveness in deliberate
cruelty. They are too demanding, too unforgiving of faults in others, perhaps because they
are not aware of the shortcomings within themselves, and extravagantly express their
self-disgust in unreasonable resentment against their fellows. They do, however, make
excellent friends, provided that their companions do nothing to impugn the honor of which
Scorpios are very jealous. Part of the negative side of the Scorpio nature is a tendency
to discard friends once they cease to be useful, but the decent native is aware of, and
fights this tendency.
They are fortunate in that their strong reasoning powers are tempered with imagination and
intuition, and these gifts, together with critical perception and analytical capacity, can
enable the Scorpions to penetrate to profundities beyond the average. They have a better
chance of becoming geniuses than the natives of any other sign.But charismatic
"twice-born" characters such as they can sink into the extremes of depravity if
they take the wrong path, and the intensity of their nature exaggerates their harmful
tendencies into vices far greater than the normal. Rebelliousness against all conventions,
political extremism to the point where hatred of the Establishment makes them utterly
unscrupulous terrorists. Brooding resentment, aggressive and sadistic brutality, total
arrogance, morbid jealousy, extreme volatility of temperament, these are some of their
vices. At the other extreme is the procrastinator, the man or woman who is capable of so
much that they do nothing and become indolent and self-indulgent, requiring extravagant
praise and flattery from those whom they make their cronies.
Being so gifted, they can find fulfillment in many employments. Their inner intensity can
result in the ice-cold self-control and detachment of the surgeon, the concentration of
the research scientist, and the heroism of the soldier. Any profession in which analysis,
investigation, research, dealing with practicalities, and the solving of mysteries are
relevant, can appeal to them. So police and detective work, espionage and
counterespionage, the law, physics or psychology may attract them, and they can become
masters of the written and spoken word. They may be most persuasive orators and find
fulfillment as diplomats or preachers and, if they make the Church their profession, their
inner intensity can express itself in the spiritual fervor of the mystic or the
thaumaturgy.
Scorpio is the symbol of sex and Scorpios are passionate lovers, the most sensually
energetic of all the signs. For them, union with the beloved is a sacrament, an
"outward and visible sign of an inward and spiritual grace.". Their overriding
urge in loving is to use their power to penetrate beyond themselves and to lose themselves
sexually in their partners in an almost mystical ecstasy, thus discovering the meaning of
that union which is greater than individuality, and is a marriage of the spirit as well as
of flesh. They are thus capable of the greatest heights of passionate transport, but
debauchery and perversion are always dangers, and Scorpios can become sadistic monsters of
sensuality and eroticism. Their feelings are so intense that even when their love is of
the highest, and most idealistic kind, they are nevertheless frequently protagonists in
tragic, even violent romances, "star-crossed lovers".

Problem that may arise for you, and their solutions........
Problem: Suffering from an
inferior complex where they feel self disgust and are disdainful of help from others.
Solution: They should try to admit that others, as well as themselves, have weakness and
then practice forgiving those weaknesses until they notice them becoming less and less.
Unbend and accept that they can be helped in their problems.
Problem: After they get everyone to agree with them and they get their own way, they are
still not satisfied with the results.
Solution: Looking deeply within will show them that having reached the point where they
have nothing more to want for in a given
situation they then realize just what they were really after. They should look within
first.
Problem: Disruptive marital relations or a breakup with a loved one.
Solution: They should try not to be scornful of what they perceive as a shortcoming in
their partners personality and soften up their
rigid, unbending attitude.
Problem: The peers in their group begin to avoid them, or drift away when they walk up.
Solution: If they feel persecuted and put upon, they will express it in conversation, this
causes people to be 'turned off' of them so they should try to change their attitude or,
guard what they say.
