Scorpio! 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their everyday behavior they give the appearance of being withdrawn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". Possible Health

PROBLEMS
THAT MAY ARISE FOR YOU, AND THEIR SOLUTIONS
As with all sun signs,
we all have unique traits to our personalities. When these traits are
suppressed, or unrealized, problems will arise. However, with astrology
we can examine the problem and assess the proper solution based on the
sun sign characteristics. As a Scorpio you may see things below that
really strike home. Try the solution, you most likely will be amazed at
the results. If you find yourself on the receiving end of the negatives
below, it is because you are failing to express the positive.
Problem: Suffering from an inferior complex where you feel self disgust and are disdainful of help from others.
Solution:
You should try to admit that others, as well as yourself, have weakness
and then practice forgiving those weaknesses until you notice them
becoming less and less. Unbend and accept that you can be helped in
your problems.
Problem: After you get everyone to agree with you and you get your own way, you are still not satisfied with the results.
Solution:
Looking deeply within will show you that: having reached the point
where you have nothing more to want for in a given situation you then
realize just what you were really after. Look within first.
Problem: Disruptive marital relations or a breakup with a loved one.
Solution:
You should try not to be scornful of what you perceive as a shortcoming
in your partners personality and soften up your rigid, unbending
attitude.
Problem: The peers in your group begin to avoid you, or drift away when you walk up.
Solution:
If you feel persecuted and put upon you will express it in
conversation, this causes people to be 'turned off' of you so try to
change your attitude or, guard what you say.

It is an old myth that anyone who does not have the opal as a starstone

RE: STARSTONE CONTROVERSY
There is, and always have been, a controversy over "starstones". Starstones are NOT birthstones.
I give you here in these pages the stones that are called your
starstones, (planet stones), which viberates the strongest to your
planet or sign, NOT to the month that you were born. I would also
like it if those who think they know precisely what their stone is to
go to the library and reference some good Astrology books such as 'Parkers Astrology'. Sorry for the confusion, but confusion over this topic has raged for hundreds of years. |
