Scorpio

People born under the sign of Scorpio can think very clearly, they have a good judgement and can assess situations very well. They also have a good memory and a very creative mind, which is characterised by its originality. They can be very obstinate when they defend their opinions. The reason for this behaviour is their justifiable confidence.

They are people of extremes. They are extremely kind and dedicated to their friends, but if somebody shows negative attitude towards them, they will be covertly or even openly cruel to them. Others can rarely anticipate their reactions and it is possible that they themselves do not know how they will react. On one hand, they can do a lot of good, but on the other hand, when they are angry they are just as consistent and stark. They are extremely inquisitive and curious people and if they are interested in something they will not regret any effort they invest into finding out what they need. They especially want to have under their control people with the same mental maturity, not only in order to correctly understand their competition, but also because it is their special hobby.

These people long for recognition of their qualities and it is surprising that these very intelligent individuals are friends with people who are mentally at a much lower level than they are. The reason for this is that they enjoy being admired. Ancient astrologists considered them to be geniuses, but people born under this sign have few other skills and they have difficulty realising their original ideas. It is believed that in order to put their ideas into practice they have to be driven by a very negative energy or by the desire to outdo somebody.

Scorpios are very charming companions, who can have many good ideas and everybody around them will be affected by them. They have attractive personalities and they spare no effort or means to entertain people who they like.

They have strong personalities and they can skilfully conceal their feelings. Their partners will often never know about their jealousy and their colleagues will never learn about their envy. These people often experience agonising states of mind while others around them have no idea about it.

They are individuals particularly suitable for managerial positions. Even though they are demanding bosses, they are popular among their subordinates. The planets Pluto and Mars, which rule their sign, give them not only their fighting spirit, but also talent for medicine, particularly for surgery, for which they have all prerequisites and inner strength that will heal everybody.


Scorpio is a fixed water sign, meaning that although they are sensitive, compassionate, and intuitive they function through more of a closed emotional system. It is very important for Scorpios to know themselves. They study their personal reaction to things and are not easily pulled into other people’s energy. In fact, most people are pulled into their energy. Souls who chose to incarnate into Scorpio energy have deliberately chosen a life of continual internal death and rebirth.

(All zodiac signs are specific vehicles through which we grow and progress, churning and balancing our karma; our zodiac signs make up our soul stories.)

This continual cycle of destruction and resurrection is what gives Scorpio the energy of the phoenix or transformation (Pluto). Anytime an individual is in a closed system within their emotional body, the emotional cycles are going to be more rapid and intense and, well, Scorpio is intense. The beauty of this amplified transformation is that many Scorpios develop the ability to feel comfortable in chaos. They begin to live from a place of continual surrender to avoid the pain of feeling pulled in too may directions at once. One of Scorpio’s prominent lessons is to know when to surrender and let go.

The deep, transformational experience that Scorpio people have make them wonderful teachers, as through them we can learn the ability to be reborn. From Scorpios, we can learn how to deeply feel our trauma until it begins to unwind and combust into absolute clarity, only to reform into something new. Scorpios don’t try to do this – they don’t necessarily go out and lecture about the dynamics of personal transformation but rather, they teach via osmosis. By example they give those around them permission to deeply own and feel their experiences in this life. This is the journey of the phoenix and the lessons of Pluto, two aspects that exist within our own consciousness.

Scorpio shows us that through allowing and harnessing the natural cycle of destruction and re-birth we can rise into who we are truly meant to be in this world. We learn how to see our individual emotional bodies as communicators of a higher universal flow of energy. We learn to move with our emotional undercurrents instead of senselessly trying to move them. The death and re-birth cycle that Scorpio continually shows us teaches us that we no longer need to fear the unknown. We learn that surrender is not weakness but complete power and connectivity to the soul and its divine river of rhythm. Scorpio teaches us to accept our pain and revel in our messiness, knowing that the tides of transformation will soon come again to purify us, that the only quality left within us after the fire is that which cannot be destroyed: Truth.
