Scorpio The Scorpion

Scorpio Astrological Symbol: A scorpion
October 24 to November 22

The Sun's entrance into the sign of Scorpio was a matter of life and death. The Sun's heat was dying as were the crops, the flowers and the leaves of the trees. The least prized of the livestock were killed, and the meat preserved for the coming winter. All this death must have reminded our ancestors of their own mortality. But they realized that the leaves and the perennial crops and flowers would be back in the spring, and the annual crops and flowers would live on through their seeds. The animals that were killed would live on in their offspring and through the people who ate their flesh to survive. The reality of a kind of life after death in their everyday world suggested the possibility of a life after death for our ancestors.

Associations
Scorpio is associated with the most powerful, magical mysteries in our lives; sex (a life or death matter if ever there was one); death and resurrection; power; and change. The parts of the body ruled by Scorpio are the eliminative and reproductive organs. People born during the time of Scorpio function best when they can use their power for getting to the heart of a matter without regard for diplomacy.

The Challenge of Being a Scorpio
Scorpio is the master detective of the zodiac. If there is something or someone Scorpios want to know about, there is nothing and no one who can prevent them from discovering the hidden truth. It is as if they feel compelled to know all the secrets just in case they need to use them or to prove how powerful they are.

When it comes to their own secrets, Scorpios are equally skilled at keeping them from others. In this way they prevent others from having power over them. They will rarely volunteer information for the same reason. Power in all its forms is one of the biggest issues for Scorpios to deal with. Most of them are powerful and know it. However, if Scorpios doubt their own power, they become so attracted to it that they are willing to do practically anything to get it. This can obviously put them in intense and often risky situations.

Scorpios usually keep their feelings and thoughts to themselves, for they are too deep for mere words. However, they will not hesitate to make the perfect comment at the perfect time, especially if it will deflate someone's pompous ego. Scorpios aspire to a level of purity that is hard for the other signs to even imagine. This is why they are more than willing to set straight everyone whose deeds do not measure up to their words. Scorpios are keen students of psychology and always want to know what makes people do the things they do. Compulsions and strange behavior of all kinds do not phase a Scorpio one bit; in fact, their curiosity is piqued. In undeveloped Scorpios there is a tendency to use their innate understanding of human motivations for ruthless manipulation cunningly designed to attain selfish goals.

However, most Scorpios are as fearless as their most well known symbol, the scorpion. But like a scorpion, they can be so intent on stinging something that they end up stinging themselves. Their intensity is such that other people can't believe that they really mean what they are saying. Scorpios are often misunderstood because of the intensity of their passion.

Scorpio has another, lesser-known symbol, the eagle and the snake. The eagle flies higher than any bird and the snake is the creature lowest to the ground. This is because Scorpio is associated with the extremes of the both the highest and the lowest existing at the same time. For example, Scorpio is the sign associated with sexual reproduction, a function that is accomplished using organs of the body also used for elimination of its liquid waste products.

The lesson for Scorpios to learn is that there is an important reason why their life does not provide them with as many peak experiences as they would like. They have come into this world with the astrological sign Scorpio because they want to learn how to develop their ability to work their powerful will on the world. The sign Scorpio rules magic and they want to make big changes in their lives, the kinds that appear to other people as almost magical transformations.

When Scorpios focus their energies on controlling others, they find in the end that it is they, themselves, who end up being under the control of others. However, when they turn their efforts towards self-control, the influence they have on both others and the world around them seems to be without bounds. It is as if the best way for them to control a situation is to be in control of themselves.

Scorpios must avoid their tendency to test their answers from The Enchanted Astrologer against the most extreme of hypothetical circumstances. That can distract them from listening to information that can help them become more powerful.
