SCORPIO By: JaniceJ
.
Scorpio is possibly the most picked on sign in the Zodiac. This powerful
water sign is ruled by the planet Pluto, an astrological heavy weight, and
symbolized by the scorpian OR the eagle.
.
In any conversation or astrological text which refers to Scorpio, there
are two words which will usually be mentioned at some point: Death and
Sex.
.
Confessing to being born under the sign Scorpio nearly always guarantees
raised eyebrows and vague, somewhat shocked references to your secret
love life. One could easily be left with the impression that being born a
Scorpio, while not exactly a social disgrace, IS rather a social "no no".
.
Death, sex, and most of the other words commonly used to describe
Scorpios are, in reality, only symbolic of the experiences through which
they seek to realize their true goals: rebirth, transformation from
within, and emotional security.
.
Autumn is the season of Scorpio, a time when nature is much concerned
with death and renewal. Leaves fall and plants die. Within this symbolic
death, however, is carried the seed which will be reborn in the spring.
indeed, without this symbolic death, there could be no rebirth.
.
Scorpios are much in tune with this powerful time in nature. Basically
tender and sensitive underneath, they are tremendously aware of how
deeply they can be hurt. The vulnerability of this most intensely emotional
of the water signs (Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces) tends to show up as a
rather uneasy need to control not only their own feelings but those of
everyone in sight. From this vulnerability also springs their reputation
for secrecy and their hesitancy to trust.
.
It seems appropriate that this sign, so concerned with the secrets of
life and death, should rule physicians. Most Scorpios are on intimate
terms with the powerful forces which heal and renew from within. Those
Scorpios not directly involved with these forces will still, as a rule, be
fascinated by them. Nothing will delight a Scorpio more than the chance
to use their powerful will and probing mind to solve a mystery.
.
On the other hand, nothing can give these charismatic people mental and
emotional indigestion faster than any attempt to place that will under the
control of another. Anytime you presume to control the will of a Scorpio,
you had better have a good reason ,maybe several good reasons.
.
It might be well to mention here for the benefit of all of you outgoing
fire and air signs, practical earth signs and INFINATELY more sensitive
(you think) water signs who are breathing a sigh of relief at not having
to deal with such heavy emotional issues that everyone has the sign
Scorpio on at least one house in their horoscope (sometimes two!).
Everyone has an 8th house (Scorpio's house) and everyone has Scorpio's
powerful ruler, Pluto, rumbling around somewhere in their chart.
.
In all of our lives there are times and experiences that will bring us into
contact with the raw emotional power of Scorpio. Times and experiences
that may bring about a symbolic death, so that we may know a renewing
rebirth. Children leave home, relationships end and attitudes change.
.
These times of transformation, though stressful at the time, pave the
way to a deeper understanding of our own emotional needs. They also open
new doors which we might otherwise have left closed.
