Scorpio

Scorpio is like a deep, still lake. You never know what you’re going to find underneath the surface. No Scorpio will just tell you all about his or her Self, because this sign is secretive, quiet, mysterious and intense. Scorpio will not trust you until you’ve proven yourself.

The Scorpion is the type of Scorpio you don’t want to cross, because if you do, you’ll get stung with the poisonous venom it’s so famous for. Underneath this Scorpio’s surface is a great deal of slimy sludge.

The Eagle is more high-minded, and it soars above the rest of the world with its eagle eyes, spying on the land below, searching for prey. A soaring eagle is magnificent to see. Sometimes, the more conscious eagle will swoop down and lift its target for the purpose of transporting it to a better place.

The Phoenix type of Scorpio experiences many “little deaths” in its lifetime, because it’s here to transform itself, through an alchemical trial by fire, into a finer, more precious personal essence. The energy carried by this type can metamorphosize everyone it touches. These are some of the most powerful people on the planet, particularly emotionally.

Scorpio is always penetrating, metaphysical and extreme. Many are dark and shadowy, brooding and intensely secretive. Others are like Magicians, who seem to have special powers that change everything. Sexual passion, addiction, and psychological drama are everyday experiences for this sign, which FEELS it’s way through life. Scorpios know how to use intimacy as a tool for getting what they need, or for transforming those they connect with in a very profound way, depending on the level of the Scorpio’s evolution. Being involved with a Scorpio means a walk through the underworld, which this Pluto ruled, 8th house sign always manages to bring about.

If this description doesn’t seem to fit you, you may be more strongly influenced by other planetary placements in your chart. Read your rising sign and your Moon sign for more information about yourself.
