General - The Myth / Personality.

THE MYTH OF SCORPIO: This constellation is intimately connected with the constellation Orion. According to the myths, this giant creature was sent by the gods to chase and kill the great hero, which is why you'll never see them in the sky together. PERSONALITY: The passionate scorpion is just full of secrets, but those tempers can smolder. Your water-oriented sign rules secrets, sex, and observation.

An in-depth piece which also looks at the Eagle link

The ruler of Scorpio is Pluto. Prior to the discovery of the ninth planet, Scorpio was ruled by Mars, which is still considered co-ruler. The sign of cosmic purpose, Scorpio is considered the success sign. Self contained and self centered, concentrated Scorpios usually succeed in what they set out to accomplish.

Scorpions are known for their intense and powerful natures. They are willful, proud and calm with an electrifying undercurrent of incensed intensity. Purposeful and animated with force, they project a magnetic personality.

Their demeanor is dignified and reserved, affable and courteous, and many have a gaze that is both direct and penetrating. Their secretive natures make them natural detectives. Many Scorpios possess a suspicious outlook, and need to know the reasons behind everything. Scorpio does nothing in half measures. An all or nothing attitude permeates their entire life. When fixed on something or someone, the scorpion perseveres. Scorpio never settles. Life is meant to be lived to the fullest, or not at all.

Scorpio will rarely be found in the center of activity, but will always know just what is going on of concern to him. Their tenacity and willpower are enviable; their depth of character and passionate conviction admirable, but it is their deep sensitivity that makes them the best and most loyal friend. This same quality makes them the most treacherous of enemies.

Their sensitivity and pride allow them to be easily hurt, quick to feel insult or injury, even when none is intended, and easily roused to heights of anger. An angry Scorpio is a sight to see. Unlike Leo, who can have a temper tantrum and five minutes later be quite himself again, Scorpio seethes, and doesn't give it up.

When they harness their abundant energy constructively, their self-confidence tempered

with shrewdness, and their ambition coupled with generosity toward others, they excel at whatever they undertake. Scorpios are demanding of others, but never ask someone to do what they would not do themselves. They can be fanatically focused and work till they drop, and ask the same of those around them. No middle ground for a Scorpio, all or nothing.

Scorpio imagination and intuition are excellent. They possess refined critical perception and strong analytical ability. In addition, they seem to demonstrate a natural healing power. These abundant gifts allow Scorpions to penetrate the most profound subjects. They are serious folk, but quite charming to people they like, and when social events call for it. Their tragic flaw is their immense pride. Once wronged, once Scorpio's pride has been diminished, the game of courtesy is over.

Their inner intensity can result in the ice-cold restraint and detachment of the surgeon, the concentration of the research scientist and the heroism of the soldier. Any profession in which analysis, investigation, research or dealing with the solving of mysteries are present appeals to Scorpio. Police and detective work, espionage, the law, physics or psychology are attractive professions to the Scorpio. As writers and orators they excel. The Scorpio character is the one you see up on the podium delivering "fire and brimstone" speeches. They succeed because they communicate the power of their convictions.

Mythic Origins. Within a mythological context there is much that can be understood about the Scorpio personality. Look towards the constellation Scorpios, and you shall see one of the greatest stars visible to the human eye. There, at the very heart of the great scorpion is brilliant Antares! This red giant, some four hundred times larger than our own sun, rivals even close Mars for the eye's attention. Such intense energy burning at the center of this distinct constellation corresponds well to the driving passions, which rule over those born in this period.

The Eagle and the Scorpion:

An important, though little known chapter in Scorpio lore is the placement of the Eagle in polarity to the Scorpion. Most Scorpios, if they dare be so revealing, would confess of an ongoing internal conflict between two distinct aspects of their nature. For individuals with a strong Scorpio influence, this may feel sometimes as a civil war of the self. This is not an abnormal psychological state. Here can be found the echoes of the earliest understandings of the Scorpio character.

Scorpions are creatures, which crawl along the ground, seeking out the hidden spaces. They are a mystery to humanity, shrouded in fear and misunderstanding. Left to their own devices, they are comfortable in the low-lying realms of the world. If provoked, however, they will strike with a deadly vengeance. The Eagle soars. On great wings this ruler of the wind rises above earthbound limitations. From this lofty perspective, the Eagle sees a world others may never dream. The bird of prey also strikes a swift and deadly blow. Yet, unlike the Scorpion, the Eagle has the ability to soar beyond. Within the spirit of every Scorpio resides this dual nature.

Some people see things as they are, and ask why? - I dream things that never were, and ask why not?" - Robert F. Kennedy

A Scorpio rhyme: Who keeps an arrow in his bow, and if you push him, let it go? A fervent friend, a subtle foe. Who else but the Scorpio.

Profile, What Your Really Like, The Game of Love.

Scorpio, The Scorpion (~October21st-November 20th): Fixed, Water, Feminine, ruled by Pluto (co-ruled by Mars). Identifying Phrase: "I Create."

Keywords for Scorpio: Intensity, Reproduction, Transcendence, Power, Manipulation, and Healing.

Where Libra makes the first efforts toward co-operation, Scorpio seeks to take advantage of its relationships with others. Scorpio, I know, has a reputation for manipulation, but if it is a sin, it is one of which we are all guilty. The key to understanding Scorpio is the phrase “other's resource” Other's resources include institutions like banks and insurance companies. Pooled resources, combined forces make the main an argument neither one will give in. Scorpios are also good matches for other Scorpios, as long as they understand each other's intensity and passion. Other water signs, such as Pisces or Cancer, may prove too weak for the intensity of the Scorpio. In religion, the Scorpio tends to form bonds with organized religions, enjoying ritual and the sense of belonging there. They may also lean to unorthodox belief systems, with a passion and sincerity that is never dishonest. Because Pluto rules Scorpios--the god of the underworld--they can sometimes have a connection with the ethereal, other world of spirit, which is often metaphysical. They have an ability to transform energy, or change impure selfish desires into the gold of purity. They are fascinated by the big issues of death and life, and are attracted to a religion that leaves room for exploring these. Scorpios tend to have a few, very intense relationships, rather than a coterie of acquaintances. It may be that the Scorpio's stinger alienates some possible friends; it may be that fewer individuals are capable of flying so close to the sun, or so close to the deeper issues, as the Scorpio does. It may also be that few are capable of rising from its own ashes, of changing--for the good or bad--as a Scorpio can. How many can keep up, to view the new person constantly emerging? Yet it is true that those who enjoy watching the Scorpio as it makes people see the hidden, secret meanings of life--as it rises unscathed and transforms those around it--will be most loyal and appreciative friends.

Above all, Scorpios are survivors. Though they are typically very erotic (their sign rules the sex organs), they don't use people but instead help them transcend themselves. You probably won't forget an encounter with a Scorpion, stronger than the lone eagle.

Scorpio is connected to the genitals and the reproductive systems. One of the purposes of sex is the pooling of resources for the continuation of the species. We all do it, but Scorpio is just more familiar with its workings. Scorpio arrives at the peak of the autumn season. Thoughts of winter survival demand immediate attention. Most leaves have fallen, to nourish the soil for springs to come. Harvest is in and we must decide what we need, what we possess and how to get what we require with what we have. Scorpio represents death, but also life; it is the sign of degeneration and regeneration. Part of life is elimination. Scorpio eliminates the unnecessary so that life may flourish.

What you're really like...

Scorpion, the intense, emotional and possessive. You tend to overwork; you seek perfection, have tremendous staying power and will see any matter through to the bitter end, regardless of sacrifice.

You despise weakness in yourself or others. You are, on the other hand, generous and compassionate and will fight for the underdog and believe in expressing yourself with unfiltered truthfulness. You are highly secretive and extremely intuitive. Your eyes are penetrating and magnetic.

You are a loyal friend or a vehement enemy. You are powerful and intense where feelings are concerned. You have the ability to poison yourself through your own emotional vindictiveness. You have a strong constitution. You also push yourself to the limit, only to recuperate rapidly and begin the whole process again.

You do not try to attract attention by your appearance; however you do like good clothes and are careful about the way you look. You choose garments of lasting quality and a sophisticated nature.

The Game of Love…The Scorpio Male... When it comes to lovemaking you are capable of attaining the highest level of passion. You are persuasive and will not admit defeat once you have your mind fixed on a particular female. You prefer to control your mates' emotions. Like everything else, you always give one hundred percent and of course you expect the same in return. To you sex is a competitive game, and revenge and jealousy are two of your characteristics that will surface if you aren't winning.

The Scorpio Female…

You have no trouble attracting men. You dress for your mate and will use your seductive, hypnotic eyes to dazzle and captivate your chosen partner. You are the type of woman that has a tremendous animalistic energy that can lure and tantalize but you also have a temper that can be explosive. You are extremely demanding when it comes to the art of making love and you lack patience if your mate doesn't satisfy you. You will be loyal and true blue as long as you don't detect weakness in your lover. Who's the Lucky Love Slave? ...

SCORPIO & ARIES: You make a hot combination in bed. SCORPIO & TAURUS: You both value long-term unions and will to work at it. SCORPIO & GEMINI: The Illusive, fickle Gemini will drive you to distraction. SCORPIO & CANCER: Cancers are attracted to your strong, demanding ways. SCORPIO & LEO: This connection can lead to crimes of passion. SCORPIO & VIRGO: The Virgo has difficulties with your sexual leanings. SCORPIO & LIBRA: You would likely end up spying on this social butterfly. SCORPIO & SCORPIO: Sexually compatible but suspicion will be a problem. SCORPIO & SAGITTARIUS: This alliance is a waste of time for both parties. SCORPIO & CAPRICORN: Mentally and physically you match up well. SCORPIO & AQUARIUS: Why bother. Your values and lifestyle are too different. SCORPIO & PISCES: This is not bad. Truly an erotic sexual combination.

- Stress and Health.

Scorpio: Hide and Seek Inspiration - Dealing with stress.

Your sign is among the most intense of all the signs. Change is hard for Scorpio, the only fixed sign of the water signs. You are very determined and driven by goals, but while persistence is your forte, flexibility is not. Don't try to control too many elements in your life, recognize that some events will have a life of their own. Your water element makes you feel the impact of events deeply. Don't take setbacks personally. Among your talents is a sharp and shrewd intuition, which will help you navigate through turbulent waters. At times "facts" may not jibe with certain hunches you have and it will be hard for you to trust the hunches. Do it. You could even be psychic or prophetic, "feeling" events around you that are soon to happen. My late father was a Scorpio. He knew he was highly intuitive and relied on it frequently in making decisions. He strongly urged us, his children, to listen to our inner voices too. This was surprising because he lived in a time when men rarely saw themselves is intuitive or psychic or least didn't admit to it. Men of his era preferred to profess their reliance on observable data. My father's instincts were always accurate, both in business and in his personal life. So, of course he was Scorpio!

Your sign, more than any other, has to occasionally take time for them and be alone. Your Pluto ruler can sometimes make you compulsive about your work, and if this describes you, you need to let up a little. Your Astrologer sees you on a very private estate, with high hedges for privacy, a lovely garden, and, most importantly, a

view of the sea. (It's good to dream!) Remember, water is truly vital to water signs, and it will be harder to recover your sense of purpose without being near water. So go to the seashore, a lake, or a spot with a river view to center yourself. Turn on the answering machine; leave your cellular at home.

Mediation and prayer are good for Scorpio. One Scorpio I know is Jewish but loved to accompany his woman friend to Mass, for he found the rhythm of the prayers and music profoundly peaceful. For this man, Mass was an ideal place to think privately. There was never any question he would remain devoutly Jewish. This makes perfect sense because Scorpio is a deeply spiritual sign, and often has an understanding and interest in other religions. Because their sign rules the 8th house of birth-death cycles, Scorpios are closer to life's beginnings and endings.

Slow, deliberate exercise such as yoga or tai chi would be helpful to you, as well as any solitary activity, like running (along the water would be perfect), bike riding, speed walking, or lifting weights. Yours is a sign, which likes to compete with themselves rather than others, always reaching for your personal best.

Quiet games of contemplation and skill would be ideal for you too. Play chess or poker (good games of strategy for discrete Scorpio) with a friend who can throw you a challenge. You like mystery novels too. Spy stories where the fate of the world hinges on the actions of one individual will relax you, and provide you with a hero you can identify with!

One good way to slow down is by using personal rituals, something your fixed, water nature responds to. By ritual I don't mean an activity connected to religion but one that you create spontaneously to punctuate an event, whether it be happy or sad. Whether you lost a pet, got fired, won a contest of skill, or want to ask your sweetheart to marry you, make a little special event out of it. Rituals help us understand the benchmark of our lives and help us over the transom from one plane to another. As a Scorpio, your still waters go deep. The ritual could be a little one (writing down your feelings about a broken relationship and then burning what you wrote with all the love letters you had saved) or a bigger one (planning a funeral for your pet). To profess your love to your sweetheart, you might plan an evening of serious lovemaking, complete with new bed linens, fresh flowers, candlelight and so forth. Set the date in advance as well as the time, place and schedule (for example, dinner out first, then dancing, then home . . .). Rituals are pause buttons which help separate out the mundane from what truly matters. They can help you relax and become more in sync with your life.

A departing word for you, Scorpio. Try not to shut out loved ones. A Scorpio who is feeling troubled is nearly impossible to read. When stress hits, you will seem a million miles away to your family and friends. While initially you will feel depleted by everyday life, including the mere conversation, those around will want to help you by

giving you their perspective on your plight. Sometimes Scorpios will remain isolated within themselves too long, as tension makes them throw up barriers in self-protection. Because you won't be getting any input from others, your perspective can become distorted. Recognize that this can happen to you. Your need for physical affection is important, and will reaffirm your self-worth, but your lover will hesitate to reach out to you if you shut him or her out. Open up a little, see how things go. Accept and give physical love.

Your Health Profile: Your Metabolism: High.

Intense, driven and often secretive, Scorpio needs an outlet for your powerful emotions more than any other signs. You can be obsessive, and have an "all or nothing" determination about whatever you do. When Scorpios decide to diet, they can go overboard. This can be harmful if it leads to yo-yo dieting or an eating disorder. Still, whatever a Scorpio puts their mind to, they usually accomplish.

You need to be smart about channeling any pent-up frustrations into healthy, stress-relieving activities. Boxing, long-distance running or a fast game of squash (any strenuous sport is good) could help you use up all that energy and stress before it starts to hurt you. Although your sign is highly competitive, you prefer to be alone when trying to unwind. The term "personal best" had to be coined by a loner Scorpio. Scorpio usually does not like to work out in teams or groups. Try the Stairmaster, weight lifting (Mars governs iron), or gymnastics. Slow jogging, or yoga combined with meditation are good ways to get the kinks out. Of course, the fact that exercise is good for your sex life should be a big motivating factor for any hot-blooded Scorpio!

Realize that Scorpio rules the reproduction organs and a Scorpio without physical affection will soon feel sad or lonely. If your sex life is less than ideal, talk things out with your sweetheart, or get some counseling. Everyone, not just sexy Scorpios should follow safe sex procedures not only to avoid AIDS but for unintended pregnancy and any number of sexually transmitted diseases.

You have a rich and varied emotional life to say the least! Be sure to share your problems with those close to you as soon as they occur (not months later, which is Scorpio's tendency.) Realize that the demands you place on yourself are higher than those anyone else would impose on you. You continually try to pack as much as possible into every day. Take time to look around you once and awhile. Remember too that you can get to be obsessed with things; try for more balance.

Your Biggest Asset:

Your unwavering determination and commitment to success in all things.

What Drives You Crazy:

People who waste time socializing at the gym. You have no time for that you're going for the burn! Health Risks:

Don't be so inflexible, dear Scorpio. Life often calls upon us to dump what we're doing and go to Plan B.

- A Small Piece On The Origins Of The Scorpio.

The Original name of Scorpio was Typhon the serpent. Same name as the snake in the garden of Eden. It was represented by a snake swelling its tail. Creating a circle representing eternity, creation and death.

The second sign of the Zodiac was created by cutting Typhon in half, creating the Nemian Lion (Leo). Between the two was placed the Babylonian Whore (Virgo before she was a virgin). The claws of Scorpio were the "eye for an eye" claws of justice before the last sign Libra was constructed.

- General Scorpio Description

October 23 - November 21.

The Sign of the Inspector.

Passionate, Determined, Energetic.

Color: Dark Red.

Scorpions like to study what makes people tick. Their goal is to unravel the deepest mysteries of the unconscious, to challenge any possible fears, and finally to make their actions correspond perfectly with their feelings. As the sign of death and regeneration, Scorpios can destroy and create with the same intensity of passion. In this vibration all reality- even death- is felt and accepted unblinkingly. It is almost as if Scorpio natives have decided to live with an intensity based on the knowledge that any moment might be their last.

Scorpios have a firm sense of determination that often turns into a form of devotion to whatever it is they need to do to get what they desire. Scorpios know what they want and they have the courage, willpower, and drive to get it, or the pride, self-control, and stubbornness to live without it. In fact, Scorpio is the sign in which self-control is most intense. No other vibration is as relentlessly committed to facing reality, no matter how gloomy that reality might be.

Secretive, extremely intense are seldom softhearted or overly sentimental, they feel that life is a difficult game in which they have to hang tough in order to win. But that doesn't mean its natives are devoid of compassion, Scorpios are intuitive and inspirational, and very protective of people to whom they are attached. Few parents are more devoted to their children than Scorpio parents. Scorpios are very dependable and are very prone to live up to any commitments that are honestly made. Scorpios have a great deal of animal magnetism. People are drawn to them. They are the most sexually secure of all the signs.

This is the sign of extremes. Scorpio people are variously described as powerful, weak, independent, clinging, passionate, and cold. Clearly, you are a bundle of contradictions encompassing the best and worst in human nature.

The key to your personality is intensity. Magnetic, emotional, capable of exerting tremendous force, your strength is hidden in the depths. In the sign of Scorpio the element of water is fixed, and image that suggests an iceberg or a bottomless well. You may appear impassive, sometimes unapproachable, but turbulent passions are always rolling underneath, invisible on the surface.

You need a positive avenue of expression - in career or love or creative achievement - or your feelings turn inward, become imprisoned, at times even

destructive. More than natives of any other sign, Scorpios live at a high pitch of emotion. Its negative aspects are brooding, jealousy, resentment, even vengefulness. The positive aspect is your unswerving dedication once your emotions are engaged. The Scorpio energy, drive and endurance are legendary. Above all you seek you give your life a meaningful pattern, to find a deeper purpose.

You have a philosophical turn of mind and may become interested in religion and the occult. Your sixth sense enables you to intuit things before they happen. You are blessed with a native understanding of the human heart and a great awareness of life's secrets. All the water signs (Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces) tend to be psychic, but Scorpios delve into the powers of the mind that others are afraid of. This is the Zodiacal sign of birth, sex, death and regeneration - areas of human existence in which a person confronts the mysteries of the universe. Many Scorpio natives are brilliant doctors, surgeons, scientists, and spiritual leaders.

The complexity of your mind make's it difficult for you to skim the surface; you must uncover what lies beneath. Whenever you are studying a new subject, learning a language, hunting down a fact, or just reading for amusement, there is a quality of penetration in the way your mind works.

Your relationships are usually complicated. This is not surprising when you consider that you can be simultaneously generous and affectionate, violent and unpredictable. In your sunniest moods there is always a hint of an imminent change in the weather. You are also deeply loyal to friends but are also intensely jealous and possessive. You cannot tolerate the thought that anyone you love might have a yearning or even a simple yen for anyone else. With you, it is usually all or nothing. Moderation and emotional restraint are not in your emotional vocabulary.

You never forget a kindness and try to repay it handsomely. Conversely, you never forgive an injury and will wait for years to get even. In fact, most of the time getting even isn't enough - you want vengeance. It is strictly not advisable to do harm to any Scorpio. You may make a dangerous enemy, for you are as subtle and as deadly as the symbol of your sign.

You are a fierce competitor, though often you manage to obscure this from others. You file away pieces of information, facts, and names and don't hesitate to use what you know if the occasion arises. When you spot a weakness in a rival you move in quickly for the kill.

You are adaptable, able quickly to change your formidable energies into new paths and to embark on an entirely different career. Confronted with disaster, you will try to turn it into success. Practical and shrewd, you believe in tangible immediate goals, and your single-minded concentration on getting what you want is formidable.

Clever with money, conservative about spending, you have an excellent chance to amass wealth. In business, you tend to accomplish things first and announce then second. By the time an opponent is aware of your progress, it is a fait accompli.

Your nature makes you subject to obsessive drive, which can be resistant to reason. You will dominate and control anyone who lets you. Suspicious and wary, you are reluctant to trust your heart to anyone, but once you do, you love deeply.

Too many astrologers, in describing the sign of Scorpio, forget to emphasize how loving, generous, kind, loyal even gentle a Scorpio can be. Many idealists who adhere to high principles and have a great positive force for helping others are born under this sign.

What all Scorpios have in common is intensity of feeling. Emotion not only rules, it characterizes you. You are passionate in love, and passionate about everything in which you become involved. You are an individual painted in vivid colors; There is not such thing as a pastel Scorpio.

- Scorpio - The Eighth House

The Eighth House is the place of things held in common. It is all about joint resources, the sharing of these resources and fair play in sharing. It is also about what happens when these things become the focus of a dispute or when we fail to respect others with whom we share this world. This house governs mercantilism and banking all economic resources. It is the house of "big money" and it is here that we find billionaires, plutocrats and all Old Money held collectively by families and dynasties. Look to this house to find inheritances, legacies and lotteries. Here we find the collective sharing of wealth through taxes and the collective protection of wealth through insurance. Here too are those resources of the Earth, which are the source of wealth gold, silver, minerals, oil, forests and all those things offered so freely by Mother Nature on which we humans set a price. And, when that price is too high, War is never far off. This is the Scorpio House. Possession is nine-tenths of the law and it is in this house that questions of ownership and rights to property collide with the darker sides of human nature and we find possessiveness, jealousy, covetousness, envy, revenge and murder. War writ small. It is the house of Death and Resurrection. But it is not material resources alone that might be either shared or withheld from sharing. We can share our bodies in the act of sexual union pleasure for pleasure. Or we can trade pleasure for money in prostitution. Or we can refuse to share and commit rape instead. Bloodlust how apt! Or we can open up our souls to the divine and share ourselves with God. Here the ego is transcended and the soul learns something of the mysteries of God. It is the house of prophecies, occult magic and divination. It is the place of the numinous.... Here we discover our desire to know the future both our own and that of our larger society and we have answered it with a collection of mechanisms of divination. But

always remember, when experimenting with these techniques, that they open only one very small window into the great beyond. Cherish whatever insight is gained from these; then think how much greater was the insight of the people who devised these systems and seek that in oneself. That is the imperative of this house: to seek out and merge with the Deity and be transformed by the experience. It is a personal journey that should be made by every one of us.

Article 32 - General Profile

Determined, aggressive and shrewd, you are rarely passive or neutral about anything. Deep, often quite secretive and reserved, you are at times jealous, resentful and even vengeful. Your recuperative powers are remarkable. You are a truth-seeker; you have keen judgment and penetrating insight, and these qualities enable you to exercise a great deal of authority over others. Science, medicine or any field of intrigue are right up your alley. Willpower and persistence are your strong points, and although you are somewhat reticent, when pushed you can become outspoken and direct.

You are aggressive, outspoken, enthusiastic and combative. You love to take chances and can be somewhat accident-prone. You may have a chip on you shoulder and come on too forcefully, making others angry. You are strongly physical and need a partner who can match you stride for stride. "Think before you speak" should be your motto.

You see life as a means of self-discovery through trial and error. You seek shared experiences at every opportunity, and you have an easy, charming, gracious and impersonal feeling for humanity. You have a deep need for everyone to like you and have a natural courtesy, charm and diplomatic manner; your emotional well-being depends upon approval of others, and so you are eager to please. You tend to live for the moment and you run the scale of highs and lows with every shift of events. You are friendly, easy-going and popular, but if you use this position negatively you can be capricious, fickle and critical. Because you easily succumb to flattery, you must consciously develop self-reliance and learn how to say no. You must curb your tendencies to indolence and flirtation.

Your sense impressions are strong aesthetically; you feel a need to serve beauty. You experience the senses through the mind, and you evaluate the facts, but you do not criticize or analyze them. The Libra mind is more contemplative; you build great ideas, but you are not always ready to act on them. For you judgment is more important than execution. Decisiveness is not usually a strong quality with this placement, but your illusive sweetness hides a great strength. You have a fondness for music, poetry and the arts. Although you have some ability in these fields, you usually prefer to appreciate rather than perform. Affectionate and good-natured, you are often in demand in social circles. The people around you affect you, and your love life depends on how much you are appreciated. Partners are important to you since you work best in conjunction with others, and because you are dependent on their reactions.

You are critical, skeptical and at times even secretive or suspicious. You are set in your opinions and it is difficult to convince you to change your mind. You are shrewd, forceful and apt to be too incisive with tongue or pen. Either you can needlessly wound others, or you can turn that sarcasm into an exquisite wit. This investigative and probing position is good for any of the healing professions; it is also good for chemistry, photography, detective work, occultism, research and big business. Your mind is deep but rarely charitable; your determination is boundless and your mentality is so fixed that you can overcome all obstacles to get what you want.

Emotionally idealistic, you are also light, humorous, sociable and even flirty. Demonstrative, friendly, sociable, outgoing, you love freedom. You have many friends and are objective in your personal relationship. You are honest, and your tastes and morals are traditional. You prefer the classical approach to the ultra-modern. You enjoy the outdoors as well as sports, travel, pleasures, fun and gambling. You like people who are

philosophical or concerned with education. You may marry a foreigner. With difficult aspects, you can be too breezy, fickle or pleasure seeking. You may be too frank in expressing your feelings, or you might try to impose your beliefs on others.

Your nature is affectionate, warmhearted, agreeable and fun loving, and you don't like to think of the sordid side of life. You enjoy family life but need and expect independence. You may lack ambition to do much with your abilities and talents because everything comes too easily to you.

- An Excellent Piece - Quite In Depth

Sun in SCORPIO - 8th House. Introverted or Receptive. Feminine Sign. Fixed. A Water Sign.

Your keywords in life are "I create." Scorpio represents the hidden, stagnant marsh waters that must be cleansed by the free-flowing waters of life. Scorpio rules the generative system; the creative fountain of all physical life. Scorpio is ruled by Pluto, and its symbol is the Scorpion. Scorpio is a Water sign, passionate and intense.

Scorpio is the mystery sign of the zodiac. It is the death sign and the sign in which the battle must be fought between the soul and the personality. The personality has to die. Devil or angel, there is no in between. Either black or white.

The high soul seeks the high way, And the low soul seeks the low, And in between on the misty flats The rest drift to and from. That‟s SCORPIO.

There are no Scorpios found on the misty flats. It is the only sign that has three symbols indicating the tests that embrace the three-fold personality. Mental, emotional and physical levels are all involved. The Scorpion is the lowest symbol of the sign who, rather than forego the pleasure of stinging, will sting himself to death; the eagle, symbol of the bird that can fly closer to the Sun than any other; and the phoenix bird resurrected from the ashes of the dead self. Transfiguration and resurrection must take place throughout your life.

Scorpios have a very strong reserve and are not easily understood. There is so much that lies hidden beneath the surface. You command respect from acquaintances due to your strong, quiet exterior, but you have to earn the respect of those close to you. There is tremendous creativeness and great resourcefulness within you. You can be sarcastic and it can be deadly if you use it vindictively. You

have a supercritical nature about you and a tendency to pass judgment upon others. Your stubbornness causes problems in relationships. Relationships call for equality and a responsibility you prefer to avoid. Pets are good for you because you can be their masters and won't have to relate to them on an equal basis.

Scorpio is the sex sign of the zodiac and Scorpios have strong passions that need regenerating. There is a tremendous pride in this sign that will not allow any emotion to ruffle the surface of your true nature. Your emotions don't show up on the surface very easily. You have tremendous strength and power when you rise above personality reactions.

Scorpios are truly powerful when they do not seek power for self, but seek to be used by the power to heal and bless others. Your goals are reached through service, purity, compassion and humility. When you serve others and forget yourself you are truly dynamic. Your regeneration lies in learning to be cooperative and outgoing toward others.

You are adept at sensing what is going on beneath the surface, especially in business dealing and intimate relationships. You seem to have "inside knowledge" to influence or to manipulate, to corrupt or to purge, to harm or to heal.

You have a penetrating insight that no other Sign has. You're able to bring to the surface what's causing the trouble in any situation. You have an awareness of what sex is for and what it is about. You can really get to people's feelings and desires. You thrive in a crisis and you achieve more when the going gets rough.

Your power can appear as a magnetic charm that can be totally disarming, or as downright cruel, trampling others and striking unexpectedly. You can raise others from the depths—or throw them down there! Behind this power is a kind of nuclear energy that allows you to drive on through the night, literally or metaphorically. You also like to test your grit by indulging in the lowest levels of life experience, and then coming up not only intact but positively regenerated. When you let go and allow someone or something in, a magical effect, an alchemical release occurs as your „sting' is transformed from a defensive or self-destructive weapon into a healing lance.

You are a transformer that lives through desiring. Many astrologers consider the sign of Scorpio as the most powerful of all the signs of the zodiac. Pluto, the ancient god of the hindmost world, death, and regeneration, exerts its influence very strongly on those born under this sign.

Scorpios are known for their intensity and passion. Their drive in life is improve the status quo through their actions and to change the world for the better, provided that they can temper their own desires. Scorpios are staunch defenders of justice and will fight to the end for causes they believe to be just. They are idealistic and are guided by the highest principles. Scorpios never get into anything "half-way".

Scorpios live their life in extremes. They can be at the same time powerful and weak, independent and clingy, passionate and cold. They hide turbulent and temperamental urges beneath a confident exterior. They are prone to being possessive and jealous, and their relationships are often stormy. Their unpredictable

nature and their intense feelings often lead others to keep their distance, but if Scorpios are given a chance, they can prove to be loving, generous, and fiercely loyal.

Scorpios can prove that strong emotions can be channeled positively. Scorpios are passionate about everything that they become involved in, including romance.

It also represents death, both in the physical sense, as well as in the death of anything irrelevant in our lives and could include relationships and values. This house rules the psychic.

- Meditation for a Scorpio - Read till end!

Not really an article but I had to include it - It embodies all the bad things about us -

Oh yeah, - and it‟s funny :)

Picture yourself near a running stream. Birds are softly chirping in the crisp, cool, mountain air. No one knows your secret place.

You are in total seclusion from that hectic place called "the world". The soothing sound of a gentle waterfall fills the air with a cascade of serenity.

The water is crystal clear.... You can easily make out the face of the person you're holding under the water.

Scorpio and Aries

When Aries and Scorpio come together, it can be the kind of relationship where the two partners wonder how they ever managed apart. Both

partners in this relationship love power, and if they learn to work together instead of against each other they can achieve anything they want.

Scorpio is more focused and more determined than Aries, while Aries gets things started the way both partners want. Even though Aries can be

fiercely loyal, Scorpio has a deeper and more complex devotion to the partnership.

This can be a very goal-oriented relationship. It tends to be highly passionate and often argumentative, because both partners have jealous

tendencies. Scorpio tends to be more patient, but is also more possessive than Aries. But despite their differences, both partners love risk and

taking chances; this is not a boring relationship! Aries and Scorpio can have lots of adventures together. At times they can have difficulty

understanding each other, because Aries is an extrovert, up front and open, while Scorpio is more introverted with their feelings. Both partners

need to meet on neutral ground once in a while and work out a truce!

Aries and Scorpio are both ruled by the Planet Mars, and Scorpio is also

ruled by Pluto. When two people with Mars' energy come together, it's like two players meeting on a battlefield: they're either allies or deadly

enemies. Mars also represents passion, so Aries and Scorpio tend to have an exciting time together. Both meet challenge head-on, so it's normal for

them to argue all the time -- making up is something to look forward to! Pluto adds an extra intensity to this dynamic.

Aries is a Fire Sign and Scorpio is a Water Sign. These two elements

can be a great combination if they work together, using emotion and physical action to get things done. Scorpio is a strategist, and can help

Aries slow down and learn how to plan battles before jumping into them.

Aries teaches Scorpio to let go and move on when their efforts are

thwarted. But Scorpio can be emotionally manipulative, too much Water dampening Aries' enthusiasm. Conversely, too much Fire can burn the

Water away and drive Scorpio to seek revenge. Aries and Scorpio must plan and work together instead of separately to maintain their balance.

Aries is a Cardinal Sign and Scorpio is a Fixed Sign. Aries gives Scorpio the initiative to do things just for the experience, rather than always

having an agenda in mind. Scorpio can help Aries stabilize and finish things rather than jumping into new projects without completing the old

ones. But they are both loyal and devoted to each other, and when they can understand that they can both be the boss -- Aries as the initiator and

Scorpio as the emotional leader -- they can accomplish a great deal together.

The best aspect of the Aries-Scorpio relationship is the power of their combined forces. They can accomplish a lot, particularly when they believe

in the same cause. They are both winners and they won't give up, making theirs a relationship that never settles for second best.

Aries. The meeting of these two people with their enormous sexual

drive is an explosive combination. However, their personalities are very different. Both love lots of sex with imaginative positions. Unfortunately,

each one has the same great need for superiority over the other. If they are both prepared to make the effort, they may experience the greatest

love affair of their lives. The flip side of this coin could be a bitter

marriage.

Scorpio and Taurus

When Taurus and Scorpio come together, the result is two signs opposite one another in the Zodiac so a blending of two halves. Signs in polarity such

as these often combine to make a whole, each partner's strengths balancing the other's weaknesses. Signs in polarity often have a strong sexual

attraction, and when they are together the barometer may rise! Taurus and Scorpio have a great deal in common, but because they have such powerful

personalities this relationship is often one that goes back and forth from passionate love to passionate disagreement!

Taurus and Scorpio enjoy working together toward owning things: Taurus wants possessions and Scorpio wants power. Both of these Signs are about

wealth and resources, including inheritances and taxes. They are both

passionate about all aspects of life. They complement each other because Taurus is more about the self while Scorpio is about the immediate group,

including family. Additionally, Taurus is more direct while Scorpio is mysterious. Because of their differences, both Signs can grow and learn

from each other if they can agree to compromise.

Mars and Pluto rule Venus rules Taurus and Scorpio. This combination is

very intense, thanks to Pluto's influence, but it's a good balance of masculine and feminine energy. The two Signs coming together form the basic

foundation of human relationships -- Venus' love and Mars' passion. Venus and Mars go well together; Venus is about the beauty of romance, and Mars

is about the passion of romance. Scorpio is smoldering and intense, and Taurus is attracted to this intensity; in turn, Scorpio enjoys the devotion

inherent in Venus-ruled Taurus.

Taurus is an Earth Sign and Scorpio is a Water Sign. Scorpio is a very

deep Sign; it's an ocean, and too much upset will cause a tidal wave! Scorpio emotionally recedes and recedes, then suddenly roars back with a

vengeance. Taurus and Scorpio are strongly loyal to each other, a product of their mutual need for emotional security. But while Taurus is open, with

everything laid bare on the surface, Scorpio is more focused on the undercurrents of life. Scorpio can show Taurus beyond the literal surface,

while Taurus can teach Scorpio that a spade is sometimes just a spade. Additionally, Scorpio appreciates the Taurean practicality and Taurus enjoys

Scorpio's jealousy -- it proves they are adored and appreciated.

Taurus and Scorpio are both Fixed Signs. Once they have a common goal,

nothing will get in the way. If the opinions of these partners are different, though, explosions may ensue! It often appears that Taurus will get prevail

as the dominant partner, but that isn't always the case. Sometimes Scorpio won't even agree to disagree, although they might pretend to give in and

later gain revenge through emotional manipulation. It's important for these partners to discuss what is truly important to them so they can reach an

equitable compromise. Once Scorpio learns to trust Taurus and understand the implications of a "partnership", the pair can achieve almost anything

through sheer determination. The relationship will only fail if the two partners truly cannot overcome their opinionated, fixed sides.

The best aspect of the Taurus-Scorpio relationship is their powerful teamwork when they agree on their goals. When Scorpio realizes that

Taurus is there for the long term, and will not create the misery that some Scorpios attract to their lives, this relationship can blossom. Their mutual

determination makes theirs a relationship of formidable strength.

Taurus. Both star-signs have large sexual appetites and may have fun together for a short time. Eventually, the Taurean apathy becomes apparent

and bores the active Scorpio. Added to this, they are both quick-tempered

and find it difficult to be forgiving. They will end up having an exciting affair

but an unhappy marriage.

Scorpio and Gemini

When Gemini and Scorpio learn to glory in each other's differences, they can create a force to be reckoned with. Scorpio is more focused and

more determined than Gemini, while Gemini is easily adaptable and more

outgoing than Scorpio. Scorpions have an intense loyalty to their partner while Gemini is more relaxed about life in general. Each partner has

different ultimate goals, but if they work together they can achieve anything.

This can be a very goal-oriented relationship. It tends to be highly

passionate and often argumentative, because Scorpio has a jealous nature and Gemini can come across as uncaring who also likes to debate just for

the fun of it. Scorpio tends to be more patient, but is also more possessive than Gemini. But despite their differences, both partners love risk and

taking chances; this is not a boring relationship! Gemini and Scorpio can

have lots of adventures together. At times they can have difficulty understanding each other, because Gemini is an extrovert, up front and

open, while Scorpio is more mysterious. Both partners need to sit down at the bargaining table every once in a while and work out a peace treaty!

Gemini is ruled by the Planet Mercury and Scorpio is dually ruled by the

Planets Mars and Pluto. Gemini's excellent communicative abilities balance the strife that can arise from the smoldering, sometimes emotionally

inaccessible Scorpio. Mars also represents passion, so Scorpio's energy fuels an active and exciting time together. Both enjoy challenge, so

heated debate will not scare off either one -- making up is twice as hot!

Pluto adds an extra intensity to this dynamic.

Gemini is an Air Sign and Scorpio is a Water Sign. These two elements can be a great combination if they work together, using emotion and

intellect to get things done. Scorpio is a strategist, and can help Gemini slow down and learn how to plan battles before jumping into them. Gemini

teaches Scorpio to let go and move on when their efforts are thwarted.

But Scorpio can be emotionally manipulative, too much Water dampening

Gemini's enthusiasm. Conversely, too much Air can stir up the Water and create rough sailing for the relationship. Gemini and Scorpio must plan

and work together instead of separately to maintain their balance.

Gemini is a Mutable Sign and Scorpio is a Fixed Sign. Gemini allows

Scorpio the space to do things just for the experience, rather than always having an agenda in mind. Scorpio can lead Gemini toward stabilizing and

finishing things rather than jumping into new projects without completing the old ones. Both are attached and devoted to each other, and when they

can understand that they can enjoy a satisfying relationship Gemini providing the reasoning and brainpower and Scorpio as the passionate,

emotional leader they can accomplish a great deal together.

The best aspect of the Gemini-Scorpio relationship is the strength they

have when they function as a unit. They can champion any cause they choose, and obtain any goal. They are both winners, and they won't give

up, making theirs a relationship that never settles for second best.

Gemini. The Gemini is a good sexual match for the Scorpio. They are spontaneously attracted to each other, like bees to honey. Soon however,

the intensity of the Scorpio's emotions will get on the Gemini's nerves and the Gemini's flippancy and unreliability will irritate the Scorpio. They will

have a shaky romance and a very problematical marriage. Only a very

mature couple will be able to overcome the obstacles.

back with intimidating force. Cancer and Scorpio are strongly loyal to each

other, a product of their mutual desire for emotional security. But while Cancer is fixated on the family and home Scorpio is more focused on the

Scorpio appreciates the Cancerian practicality and Cancer enjoys Scorpio's jealousy it proves that Scorpio really loves and cherishes them.

common wish, it will be realized due to their efforts. However, if their opinions clash, look out! Cancer will be the first to instigate an argument and

pretend to give in. Both partners are not beyond using emotional manipulation to get revenge. It's important for these partners to discuss

what is truly important to them so they can reach an equitable compromise. Once Scorpio and Cancer learn to trust one another and believe in each

other, they are a pair that can achieve almost anything through sheer determination. The relationship will only fail if the two partners truly cannot

overcome their opinionated, stubborn sides.

powerful team. They understand each other's needs well; Scorpio needs to be respected and desired while Leo wants to be adored and

complimented. They are both strongly loyal, often possessive of each other. Both partners are able to provide what the other needs and enjoy

relationship. Leo is shines brighter and more insistently, becoming magnificence and luxury personified. Scorpio will appreciate being relieved

of any pressure to be in the limelight but will be content to control the fundamentals. Because both Signs are so determined, these partners

really need to work to understand and accept each other.

Pluto. The Sun is about ego and self, and it radiates warmth and light. Leo indeed radiates this kind of energy and enthusiasm. Mars is about war,

brashness and battle, and Pluto is the influence on Scorpio's hidden thoughts. Ruled by the House of Sex, Pluto influences the idea of

regeneration and rebirthing that is a current theme in Scorpio's life. Together, this bounty of masculine energy is why Leo and Scorpio soften

their conflicts and sustain each other. The Sun represents life, and Mars and Pluto represent ambition and the unconscious; as long as they are

careful to understand each other, their combination is a positive and ambitious one.

want to be the leader in different ways, and this common desire may be a source of discontent. Like the Elements that influence them, these two are

capable of destroying one another. At times, their relationship may not be

a harmonious one. However, both partners will realize that these petty disputes are of no real consequence, and as long as they can keep their

egos aside and allow the relationship priority, their conflicts can usually be resolved.

Scorpio and Leo are both Fixed Signs. Both can be rigid, opinionated and resistant to change. Both partners tend to persist when working

toward their goals. If they have a plan, they'll stick to it until they get what they want. They usually share a distrust of change, preferring life to

be stable and steady. If they have differing ideas on the same subject, they may find themselves in a never-ending power struggle. Scorpio won't

change their mind because they see it as a sign of weakness, and Leo may see Scorpio as being too intolerant. If they understand they're on the

same side in the grander scheme of things, it's much easier for them to remain productive.

The best aspect of the Leo-Scorpio relationship is their mutual dedication to each other and the projects they partake in. Both Signs have

very powerful, yet strategically different, personalities. Others see them as a strong pair, and their mutual commitment to fulfilling their goals

makes theirs a powerful relationship.

Two shining personalities join together. They have a lot in common, especially when Leo is the female and Scorpio is the male. The Scorpio

female is too demanding for the Leo male. Jealousy plays a major role in

family quarrels. Basically, this should make for one of the most compatible combinations, but long and happy partnership will be far better when a

Leo female marries a Scorpio male. Two very strong willed individuals generally create some rather stormy moments. Without some mutual give

and take there is rocky road ahead.

Leo. Both love explosive sex. Unfortunately, they are both highly argumentative and the Scorpio will soon tire of constantly admiring the

Leo, whilst the Leo will be waiting for their supremacy to be recognized. Therefore tempers will soon flare. An exciting, torrid affair

is possible. A marriage will be dramatic and inadvisable.

dances, but together they form a very fulfilling union.

hand to a friend or to the community. Additionally, Virgo can be shy and reserved while Scorpio is more opaque. Because of their differences, both

Signs can grow and learn from each other if they can agree to meet each other halfway.

conversation. Virgo can teach Scorpio that facts and numbers are sometimes quite literal and can be dismissed at face value. Scorpio

teamwork when they agree on their goals. When Scorpio realizes that

Virgo is an asset and a leveling force in their life, this relationship can

relationship of formidable strength.

Virgo. The Virgo is emotionally and sexually too cold for the Scorpio.

After a while, they will be able to understand one another on an emotional level, yet the criticism will soon drive the Scorpio into a warmer bed. The

other scenario for these two signs is usually characterized by the enthusiastic Scorpio being inspired by the challenge of firing up the

passion of the cool Virgo. Perhaps the Virgo will be swept away by it all to such an extent that they give up in astonishment. In these circumstances

it is possible for them to have an exceptional relationship and marriage. Otherwise, The prospects for love and marriage are negative.

flirtatiousness, they could experience a very passionate love affair and marriage otherwise a short-lived, pleasant love affair but an unhappy

marriage will be the result.

for the Scorpion, as you're intense passions inflate the importance and

loss of everything.

to mature as individuals and to learn the value of a loving relationship. Shyness, reservations, and distrust of others may dampen the initial

impact of this relationship. It takes a long time for this duo to open up to one another and feel comfortable with a significant other. However, once

they have learned to trust, share, and care for another person, this

relationship will be secure and strong.

Scorpio and Capricorn have a lot to learn from one another, as well as a lot to work out. Scorpio can learn to cool their heated emotions from

Capricorn's proficient and stable behavior. However, this sentiment may also backfire for Scorpio who may become irritated at Capricorn's

apparent lack of emotional depth. Capricorn can learn to probe more deeply within themselves and all aspects of life from their partner. Both

Signs share a love of committing to a task.

Scorpio is ruled by the Planets Mars and Pluto and Capricorn is ruled by

the Planet Saturn. Mars and Pluto represent aggression, courage, sexual energy, rebirth and renewal. Saturn teaches the great lessons in life hard

work, diligence, ambition and responsibility. Both Signs combine to form an industrious union bound by Scorpio's fierce emotion and Capricorn's

ambitious action. This is a dynamic team for business as well as a personal relationship.

Scorpio is a Water Sign and Capricorn is an Earth Sign. The Earth is in touch with practical matters and material possessions. This is a good

balance for the Water element, which tends to take on the shape of a given situation in the form of an emotional reaction. If Capricorn and

Scorpio practice stability and flexibility, respectively, then each is able to share their knowledge and qualities with their loved one effectively.

Scorpio is a Fixed Sign and Capricorn is a Cardinal Sign. Capricorn

usually initiates new and useful projects for themselves and the world around them. Scorpio is happy to follow suite and work on their partner's

ideas, but will want to interject their own opinions. It would be wise for Capricorn to stop a moment and listen and open their channels of

communication as much as possible for their partner. Both Signs are stubborn, and this could lead to some potential conflict. Also, Scorpio is

much more emotionally involved in the relationship than the Sea Goat,

and perhaps more than the Sea Goat is capable. Both partners must recognize this and accept it if the relationship is to be successful.

The best aspect of the Scorpio-Capricorn relationship is their

determination to shared ideas and their strong devotion to one another. Theirs is an excellent business relationship and they can strive to teach

one another about different ways of perception.

Capricorn. They are passionately drawn to one another. The usually

faint-hearted Capricorn is able to experience every strong emotion ever dreamed of with the Scorpio, which is perfect for the solitary Capricorn

who needs the security, which the Scorpio has to offer. This makes the Capricorn so happy that they even learn to accept the Scorpio's need to

dominate them. An explosive love affair. A very good marriage

Scorpio and Aquarius

When Scorpio and Aquarius come together, it mingles different needs

and different philosophies. Scorpio has an emotional intensity with which they face life. Aquarius has an unusual, idealistic worldview. When Scorpio

may be more introverted and prefer to be alone with their lover, Aquarius enjoys a night out with friends. They may appear to have few common

interests, but these two are both possessed of strong willpower. When they set this force to a common goal, they are assured of success.

Both Scorpio and Aquarius can be incompliant and opinionated. They like things to go as they dictate, with no questions asked. Scorpio is

probing, delves deeply into the hidden meaning of things. Aquarius is modern and does not enjoy detail. Scorpio will find Aquarius exciting, yet

may feel frustrated trying to penetrate this revolutionary's mind. Aquarius will not appreciate the possessiveness of a stinging Scorpion or the

amount of attention they require, but will find the devotion Scorpio provides to be a great support.

Scorpio is ruled by the Planets Mars and Pluto, and Aquarius is ruled by

Saturn and Uranus. Mars is a radical, belligerent, aggressive and courageous masculine energy and Pluto enlightens these impulses and

adds a rebirthing, cyclical quality. Saturn is a cool, contained energy, and Uranus is about all things different and unusual. Mars is emotional,

reacting without thinking things through; such is the nature of Scorpio. For Aquarius, Saturn is about hard work and discipline to achieve goals

while Uranus determines thinking ahead. Scorpio will teach Aquarius about

life based on emotional impulses and what it means to peak behind the surface. Aquarius can teach Scorpio to be more aloof, to detach

themselves from uncontrollable situations and to re-evaluate their goals if they are off course.

Scorpio is a Water Sign and Aquarius is an Air Sign. Aquarius moves

through life with pure inventive exploration, while Scorpio is more analytical. Scorpio looks for purpose and Aquarius seeks the stimulating.

These partners may find it difficult to understand the other's origin of thought. This pair may have confrontations if Scorpio is too possessive or

if Aquarius seems too cool and flippant and denies Scorpio emotional

reassurance. Both partners need to learn that they view the world in different ways and they should celebrate and laugh at their differences.

Scorpio and Aquarius are both Fixed Signs. Both can be rigid,

opinionated and unyielding. Both partners tend to persist when laboring toward a goal. If they have a plan, they'll stick to it until their efforts are

rewarded. Once they have made up their minds that they are good mates for each other, they will never be discouraged from maintaining the

relationship. But if they have differing ideas, they may find that the Scorpion is the more tenacious, more dogmatic partner who is not beyond

emotional manipulation of a loved one. If they each believe in the value of

the relationship, they will be able to overcome differences.

The best aspect of the Scorpio-Aquarius relationship is the capacity for success in their synergy. Both Signs have very powerful personalities, so

neither will openly dominate the other. Once they can work out their differences, come together and agree on their individual roles within the

team, the fruits of this relationship can be fulfilling.

Aquarius. The intense Scorpio, with his drive for the passionate

sexuality, is too violent for the Aquarius. The Scorpio, obsessed with sex, finds the Aquarius boring. The Aquarius is too interested in the company

of others for the Scorpio. Bad outlook for relationships and marriage.

Scorpio and Pisces

When Scorpio and Pisces come together they enjoy a splendid union. The

two Signs share the same Element, Water, and thus have a good understanding of each other. Scorpio is very deep and covert, often caught up

in their own secret plans, while Pisces is idealistic and looks for the nuances of a situation. However, Pisces also has a tendency to withdraw into their own

mind, and can forgive Scorpio for being mysterious or withdrawn at times.

Both Signs are intuitive and in touch with the subtleties of human

interaction. Pisces fulfill dreams and ambitions to turn ideas into reality. The Scorpion will provide a steadfast foundation for the relationship to revolve

around, and the more ephemeral and intuitive Fish will become entangled in Scorpio's web. In return, Pisces offers gentleness, kindness, and sympathy,

which Scorpio admires and appreciates. Scorpio is interested in certain material comforts and intense emotional dramas, and at times cannot understand the

simplistic, charitable attitude of Pisces. Their long-term aspirations can be completely unalike. Once they can understand and overcome this difference,

theirs will be a very rewarding relationship.

Scorpio follows the Planets Mars and Pluto, and Jupiter and Neptune rule

Pisces. Mars is the ancient God of War, and Scorpio is testimony to its aggressive, courageous, daring, and sometime belligerent influences. When

combined with Pluto, this hot Planet becomes cyclical and symbolizes rebirth and new beginnings. Scorpio is able to withstand a great deal of abuse and

bounce back, but the Scorpion is also able to dish out this energy in spades! Jupiter also rules Pisces. This represents philosophy, expansion and excesses.

The Neptunian influence gives Pisces a dreamy aura and a love for popular culture and media. This dreamy energy softens Scorpio's hard edges. The

nature of this planetary combination offers a complementary relationship, drenched in emotional intrigue and endowed with a real celestial bond.

However, Scorpio must be careful not to cramp the floating Fish, as Pisces will

suffocate under too many demands.

Scorpio and Pisces are both Water Signs. Generally they're very compatible, as Water is a tangible, physical entity and both appreciate this property. Pisces

is born to connect mankind, and when they come together with Scorpio's intrigue and tenacity there is no stronger bond. In addition, Scorpio has an

absolutist view of life; everything is either golden or tarnished. Pisces can help to open up multiple possibilities, rather than a single focus. Scorpio may tire of

Pisces' instability, and Pisces may in turn feel that Scorpio is self-absorbed and insensitive to their needs. It will be comparatively easy for them to find a

compromise.

Scorpio is a Fixed Sign and Pisces is a Mutable Sign. Scorpio tends to be

focused on one project at a time, but Pisces likes to move from project to project as the feeling takes them. Pisces can easily become a part of Scorpio's

pastimes and projects. In turn, Scorpio needs to give Pisces the freedom to enjoy personal interests. Pisces can show Scorpio that flexibility is sometimes

better than a stringent determination, and that compromise without struggle can pay off. Scorpio and Pisces feed off of each other's energy well, and should

be compatible in romance or business. The best aspect of the Scorpio-Pisces

relationship is their similar emotional natures. They complement and harmonize with one another very well. The overall empathy and commitment

these two signs value in a relationship is what will keep the ties strong and long lasting between the Scorpion and Fish.

Pisces. These two complement each other extremely well. The Scorpio benefits from the uncontrollable imagination and effusive nature of the Pisces,

who surrenders lovingly to the Scorpio's passionate and sensitive nature. A great romance; Their passion can last a lifetime. (Scorpio's most compatible

astrological mate).
