I am A Scorpion
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 seething 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.
