ASTROLOGICALLY SPEAKING
WHO IS THE AUTHENTIC SELF
OF A SCORPIO
October 23 - November 21st
Our next “Water” sign is the sign of Scorpio. And if we remember from the discussion of Cancer, anything to do with the element of “Water” brings in the intensity of ‘emotions’. The birthday of a Scorpio will generally fall between the dates of October 24th and November 22nd )
If you have the opportunity to sit back at a party sometime and notice there seems to be one particular person among the crowd asking tons of questions – you can bet that individual is a Scorpio. They love to be in the ‘know’. I often find Scorpio’s in the profession of Police Officers, Investigators - - generally the professions where one has to dig for answers. Scorpio’s love to discover ! AND…..they very seldom ever forget!
Which means, that if you choose to get into an argument with any astrological sign - - Scorpio is never the best choice. The astrological glyph of Scorpio looks like a Scorpion’s tail which can sting intently. During arguing with a Scorpio, you may think you’ve won the argument until at the very end, when the Scorpio pulls out the deciding factor – a factor that perhaps they have secretly kept in their back pocket for just that point in time. That is why it is often said - - Beware the sting of a Scorpio’s tail. Very seldom do you ever see it coming - - hence they make wonderful investigators and lawyers! They have the ability to wait it out. No other sign peers as indepthly into the human psyche as the Scorpion. Instinctively Scorpio’s are generally always suspicious that there is an underlying motive for everything everyone does.
Scorpio is known as the ‘sex’ sign in the whole zodiac. It appears that we all sit on a volcano; each one of us is motivated by unconscious-or unconsidered-psychological forces we understand only vaguely. Sex is an example of one of these forces. Most Scorpio’s see love through the eyes of ‘sex’ - - to them that is the power of intimacy - - which often will give them reason to move forward into a relationship – even though there may be other parts of the relationship which can be abhorrent. If the sex is good – Scorpios will often identify that as being the entire relationship. With this thought in mind, to a Scorpio – to live every minute as if it were the last – is how they see the world.
Scorpions despise weakness in themselves and do not like to see it in others so they act with all of their power which can often come across as control, possessiveness and/or jealousy. This intensity is an authentic lesson to this astrological sign to tame and allow for inner peace and to look beyond the present moment. Look long-term Scorpio’s – allow yourself that opportunity of Vision.
