Scorpio

The scorpion, eagle or gray lizard

October 24^th through November 22^nd

^{People often draw back visibly one someone says he or she was born in November, murmuring "oh you are a Scorpio", either in frank fear or in awe and respect.}

^{Look at the eyes. They can be green, blue, brown or black, but they will be piercing with hypnotic intensity. He'll outstare you every time. It's a fool proof identification of the Pluto personality. Scorpio eyes bore deeply into you, mercilessly, as if they are penetrating your very soul.}

^{The tone can be velvety soft, husky or sharply cutting. The speech slow and measured or clipped. Scorpio has total ego. he know what he is and he know what he is not. Insult roll right off his back, and compliments don't move him an inch. He needs no one to tell his vices and virtues.}

^{He'll show a cool composure of his nature. if you ever come across a chattering Scorpio whose eyes wander, chalk him up as an astrological exception. Some November people with heavy planetary influences of restlessness in their nativities. There are very few of nervous kind. The nature can be modified by other natal influences but slightly.}

^{Most Pluto people have powerful physiques. The features are noticeably heavy and sharp, and clearly drawn. The nose is quiet prominent, sometimes beak shaped. Ordinarily the complexion is very pale, almost translucent. The brows are heavy and knit together over the bridge of the nose. There is a crackling electric vitality about the very presence of scorpion. The males will have a heavy growth of hair on arms and legs, often with a reddish cast. Most Scorpios have darkish hair and eyes. The poised surface calm of the Pluto character is carefully designed to hide the boiling inner nature.}

^{No matter how his emotions are stirred, you'll rarely see them reflected on Scorpio's frozen immobile face. These people proudly and consciously practice a blank expression. They command their features to remain firm. And their features obey. You'll seldom see Scorpio give himself away by blushing or flushing, frowning or grinning. Smiles are rare but genuine. There will rarely be any jumping, sudden starts or nervous mannerisms. He'll never flinch with embarrassment or swell up with pride. Reaction is always kept at a bare minimum. Scorpio's art is to probe your nature and motives relentlessly and he's an expert at it.}

^{There is a particular type of Scorpio who moves and speaks rather quickly, and appears to have an open friendly manner. He's really just playing a game with all his happy talk. Inside he's as tough and determined as the more poised and typical Pluto people are. Perhaps he has been a shade more dangerous. be on guard with all Scorpios. They are just not soft or naive. Some Scorpios realizing that their eyes expose their inner intensity wear sunglasses even at night.}

^{if you are sensitive don't ask his opinion or advice. You'll get a naked brutal truth. You asked him he'll tell you. Scorpio will not pay a false compliment to gain a point or win an ally. It's beneath him to flatter. when he says something nice to you, treasure it. Scorpio naturally attractseither fiercly loyal and dedicated admirers or envious spiteful enemies. but even the later give him grudging respect, and you'll notice they're careful not to challenge him openly. Yet there's a haunting sweetness about these people and often a gentle sympathy with the sick and despairing. Scorpio's touch can e cool and tender as well as hot.}

^{A few Pluto people fall somewhere between eagle and the stinging scorpion, these are the grey lizards. Self sacrifice becomes the neurotic concern about self with them. Psychic abilities become fearful apprehensions of the lurking evils which may strike at any moment. Forceful courage twists itself around and instead of seeking the ruthless revenge of the stinger scorpions or raising above such bitterness like the eagles they bitterly withdrawing tangled hatreds at each minor injury, hoping fate will punish their enemy's almost unconsciously willing destruction without direct action.}

^{The great lizards fail to draw on the power of Pluto in their natures. Power could lift them high above all the unfortunate circumstances that surround them. They see the dark shadows and lie dormant. Still Scorpio can never slide deep enough into the slime of bitter depression to completely lose the power of Pluto. It's never too late for the grey lizard to transform into an eagle.}

^{Typical eagles have no fear. Even the average Pluto man and women bravely faces anything from physical; pain and poverty to ridicule and failure with a proud contempt and complete confidence.}

^{Scorpio is intensely loyal to friends. The Scorpio solider leaps instantly and instinctively to brave the bullets and drag his buddy to safety. Some times it seems Pluto people unconsciously seek violence deliberately as a challenge to their strength.}

^{Scorpio never forgets a gift or kindness and it's richly rewarded. He also remembers an injury or injustice. There are different ways of reacting. The eagle will crush the enemy, win the fight and leave the defeated to go his way. Scorpion will sting, then plan destruction, then sting again. He must totally destroy the enemy or at least top him. With the grey lizards Pluto revenge takes the form of bitterness held inside for years, which eventually causes deer melancholy or actual, lingering physical illness. Seething Scorpio resentment turned inward and never expressed, poisons with deadly certainty. Turned outward, it can create guilt because stinger scorpion is ashamed to harm the defenseless, when all is said and done. It should be turned neither inward nor outward. It should be conquered by looking up and forgetting, like the eagle ' never looking back in anger and retaliation.}

^{The Scorpio can destroy his body with excess melancholy or hard work. But he can also build it back at will from a critical illness. Scorpios are seldom ill but when they are it's usually serious. a long rest and a change of attitude with peaceful acceptance replacing burning resentment , are the best cure. The chief areas of attack for germs and accidents are the reproductive organs, the nose. The throat, the heart, spine, back, circulatory system leg and ankles. Varicose veins and accidents in sports are common. They should fire explosive. Noxious fumes and radiation. yet you'll find lots of them seek occupations that flirt with danger along these very lines. Some times they have chronic nose bleeds, or a surgery is performed on the nose for some reason.}

^{Scorpio is deeply interested in religion, intensely curious about all phases of life and death, passionately concerned with sex and violently drawn by a desire to reform. Yet he's also dedicated to family ties and love, and gently protective of children and weaker souls. He can be a saint or a sinner.}

^{His hypnotic appeal pierces through his audience, transfiguring them. He's fiercely possessive of what he believes to be his yet his ambition is never obvious. He quietly waits for the chance to move ahead all the while he serves knowing he's qualified for the position and above him. He takes control slowly but very surely. The dark magical and mysterious power of Pluto turns desire into reality, withy cool, careful and fixed intent.}

^{A morbid desire to know the worst of sick and depraved humanity can reverse the path to a life of medicine, where drastic treatments have a deep fascination for him. Many of the finest medical men in the world are inspired by Pluto to heal both the mind and the body, diagnosing and treating with strange, inscrutable knowledge.}

^{Scorpio has born knowing the se4crets of life death, and with the ability to conquer both if he chooses. The ancient mysteries fascinate his brilliant mind. Out of his powerful empathy with human nature grows the outstanding detective, the great music composer, literature of depth and permanence, or the actor who projects with unusual dramatic intensity. Some times he lives alone and sometimes he faces the public with a mask of calm reserve and control, to hide his intense desire to win. In any profession of his choice he'll manage to top all his competitors.}

^{one of the strangest pattern in astrology is the death of a relative in the family within either a year before or the year after the birth of a Scorpio. And when a Scorpio dies, there will be a birth in the family within the year before or the year after. It happens at least ninety five percent of the time. Pluto's symbol is the triumphant phoenix rising from its own smoldering ashes and Scorpio personifies the resurrection from the grave.}

^{Scorpio man:- if you are in love with a Scorpio male and the word passion frightens you, put your sports shoes and run. Passion here, refers to the passionate intensity about politics, work, friendship, religion, food, relatives, children, clothing, life, death and any other category you can think up. A Scorpio man is not exactly what your psyche needs if you're repelled by emotional excess. Doesn't look back, just run?}

^{He seems calm and steady. He's only bluffing with the surface cool. Inside his passions are red hot. After an experience of his heat your heart will burn for months, may be years, and first aid kits will do no good. Make sure you know where you are going and with whom.}

^{If your sun sign gives you a fire proof nature, you may be able to keep the flames under control and have yourself powerful fire to warm your heart for a lifetime.}

^{This man is invincible. Just behind his frosty reserve is a huge pot of boiling steam. If you're lucky, he'll keep the lid on tight for a lifetime, but a deep injury can blow it right off with brilliant explosion.}

^{He'll bewilder you with his twin Scorpio traits of passion and reason he's master of emotions and intellect. He's also deeply philosophical.}

^{Normally Scorpio will surround himse4lfwith luxury. He'll lean toward excess in food, drugs, drinks, and yes ' in love. Most assuredly in love.}

^{These men have an explosive temper that can strike a life time wound. He not only enjoys winning, he has to win. Something inside him dies when he loses. A Pluto man normally practices good sportsmanship. Disappointment never shows on his features. His actions are rigidly controlled, including his romantic intentions.}

^{Pluto people can be driven by curiosity to penetrate every dark corner of the human mystery.}

^{Every Scorpio has his own law unto himself, and completely unconcerned what others think of him. He would like to be respected as a responsible citizen. None of his important decisions are hampered by the opinions of friends, relatives, neighbors, or enemies. Not even by you.}

^{Scorpio man operates best under adversity. He's at his forceful courageous best. He seldom wallows in envy or self pity, and he doesn't happen to think that life owes him single farthing. Instead of pouting in anger, when real troubles hit, he meets them head on.}

^{Scorpio loves mystery and there's not a single one that crosses his path he won't solve in detail. Being stripped naked of your mystery can leave you feeling a little exposed.}

^{He has high standards and won't choose his friends loosely. This is a marvelous rare kind of man who can share rough humor with men and can turn into a ge4nmtle and tender lover.}

^{He can be cruel sometimes for his own reasons and he may even exhibit a sadistic sense of wit by describing you as fat, dumpy, shrewish, and square in front of your friends. Grin if it kills you. Scorpio is compelled to conceal his motives, in love too. Later, when you're alone , he'll tell you what he really thinks.}

^{It may take a while to adjust to his personality, but it will eventually toughen you up. if you're too soft, you'll bruise easily with a Scorpio.}

^{When it comes to jealousy, he could burn and erupt like a volcano. You're a very brave woman, but better pack your own jealous streak in a trunk and lock it. It will make no impression at all to drench him in angry treats or reproachful recriminations.}

^{Women will find him irresistibly attractive. Keep remembering that if any one is strong enough t5o resist such continual flattery and temptations,, it's a scorpion.}

^{He'll probably be a stern father the children won't get away with an ounce of lazy or frivolous behavior. He'll teach them to respect property, but he'll also teach them to respect themselves. He'll love them with as much sincere passion as he puts into every thing else he cares about, and won't stand for any nonsense. He'll protect them when they fears , but they'll soon get the message that he expects them to stand alone. If they borrow money from him, he'll charge them interest on it, but it's for their own good. As adults they realize how lucky they were to have his firm guidance. Often his children will find him gentle and funny. He'll joke and laugh with them, and give them a sense of freedom, but the line will be drawn and they'll know not to cross it. The children will secretly admire his strength to command and try to imitate it, but occasionally it works the other way. Then you'll have to remind him that affection and tenderness sometimes get more results than his normal, unbending, autocratic manner. Just remind him tactfully and respectfully. A Scorpio man will never allow a woman to dictate his actions. A Scorpio husband with a wife who truly understands him, will be tender sympathetic, considerate and repay her loyalty with the kind of love most women only read about and wish for.}

^{Once the flame has been stirred and he's decided, he wants you. He'll hypnotize you right out of all your good intentions. You feel you can reach out and touch it. It may burn you only if you're over sensitive and scorchable. If you're patient and strong it will be like touching cool marble.}

^{Scorpio woman:- the female Scorpio has a deep mysterious beauty. She's magnetic, proud and totally confident. But she has a secret regret; she was not born a man.}

^{It's just that, unconsciously, she would prefer to be a man. Less restriction, more opportunity. It's the one secret she hides from herself even.}

^{The true shade of her nature is dark maroon and not a pink, not a female color at all.}

^{Scorpio woman have a scornful contempt for members of their sex who flop in the roles of sweetheart, wife and mother. A Pluto girl will control her desire to dominate. She gives a glopripous performance of womanhood. A Scorpio will subdue her drive and magnetize a man with the heavy perfume of her exotic glance. The Scorpio girl will walk towards you slowly, seductively and silently delivers her private message. These women look seductive in jeans, jodhpurs and sports shoes. May be it's her husky voice that creates the impression.}

^{Her beautiful, mysterious eyes can read your mind so clearly, she doesn't need any extra trimming. Whisper something romantic that would melt another girl out of her senses and the Scorpio girl will simply give you an intense, penetrating look that will see right straight through to your real intensions. She's a human x- ray machine, so don't flirt. Never insult a Scorpio, it's just not healthy.}

^{This dangerous femme fatale can hide her power of retaliation with a tremulous smile, gentle mannerisms and the4 most breathe less voice.}

^{There's certainly no fury like that of a Scorpio female who's lost her normal, steady control over those inward, seething, Pluto emotions. She can hate with bitter venom and love with fierce abandon.}

^{The Scorpio woman has a disconcerting gift. It's a peculiar form of black magic; you have very little chance to escape, once her eyes meet yours. Because of her mystical sixth sense, she can often recognize a future mate at first glance. Somehow she'll transfer this perception instantly.}

^{She knows, what life is all about. A Scorpio woman can't excuse weakness in a man. She looks for ambition and courage. She wants a mate who can dominate her and make her proud. A high degree of intelligence is required to match her own excellent mind, plus more than a passing acquaintance with abstract philosophical wisdom.}

^{Having once achieved closeness with a Scorpio female, you can be positive you're unique and unusual man. You'll be the most important interest in her life. If she's a typical Pluto girl, she'll boost you loyally and try to please you with passionate intensity.}

^{She's brimming over inside with passion, though it's kept under rigid control by a poised, frosty attitude towards strangers. She's never just slightly interested. It's impossible for her to be detached or casual. She seldom likes or dislikes a play, a book, religion, furniture or people. She either bitterly resents or she intensely worships. If one of thes4e passions can't be aroused, then she totally ignores. Yet, through it all, she'll remain untouched by emotional storms, judging at least from her placid exterior, which always drapes itself around her4 after each nuclear explosion.}

^{It's true that the Scorpio girl sometimes wanders into dangerous waters to penetrate life. Her search may indeed take her into some weird byways. But the typical Scorpio will emerge from any discovery still strong and pure.}

^{She could be the keeper of quiet a few secrets. It's surprising how many dark deeds are confessed to Scorpios, though their own inner lives are marked "private ' keep out". She likes to hear secrets, but she'll seldom tell anything anyone had confided in her, not even to you.}

^{She's not untruthful. a Scorpio woman will be incredibly loyal to those she find strong and deserving. The weak ones will never be honored by her glance. All Scorpios are highly selective in friendships; they'll keep the worthy companions through an entire lifetime. Sooner or later, she'll probably investigate some form of the occult and ancient mysteries and unseen worlds will eventually have her respect, though Scorpios can range all the way from religious fervor to total atheism during a lifetime.}

^{A Scorpio woman need not be a legal wife to give wifely love and devotion. If circumstances make marriage impossible she'll love you and stay with you. in most such unusual situations, the relationship is real and honest above and beyond the shallow, selfish love of many legal marriages. the hypocrisies of society will never keep this courageous woman from seeking her deserver love.}

^{Despite her strong individualism, she'll let you be the boss. She'll apply her talents to help you attain your goals. Your future will be important to her and she's not likely to insist on retaining her own career after marriage. She may fight you wildly in private, but she'll defend you fiercely in public. Your happiness will always come first. Unless there are adverse aspects in her natal chart, she'll patiently help you preserve until you get what you want. She'll expect you to aim as high as your abilities will reach. Anything less may bring on some sarcastic taunts and reproaches.}

^{Their homes usually shine with cleanliness, taste and comfort. Spring cleaning is like a vacation for her. They love to dig into corners to see what they can find. Scorpio is unreasonably suspicious, even there's no basis of it. You can imagine what happens when she finds a real clue to possible infidelity.}

^{It's no good being suspicious of her, no matter how many opportunities arise. There will be a goodly number of them because she never exposes her deepest feelings. Take her or leave her. You'll probably take her. It's almost impossible to leave her, if nothing else, she'll haunt you the rest of your life.}

^{She makes an excellent wife for an army or navy man and a real jewel for a politician. There's no one she can't see through, no deception that escapes her.}

^{In the budget department, Scorpio women are completely unpredictable, she'll enjoy money whatever she saves it or spends it on luxury. But this woman always lean heavy towards prestige. Scorpio females like power and they will sacrifice much for it. Your power will do, because Pluto allows being adept at living vicariously through others when it suits her. She's too proud to live amid shabby surroundings forever, and she'll become mighty sour and discontented if she's forced to do so for a long time. She'll either try to force a change in the family fortunes or she'll gradually retreat into the dismal world of the gray lizard, outwardly accepting and almost seeming to enjoy poverty, but inwardly intensely bitter.}

^{One of the worst traits of both male and female Scorpios is a refusal to see any view point but their own when the emotions are involved. She'll probably fascinate every male in sight on occasion and you may have to sit by while they are mesmerized. It seldom leads to anything serious, but can cause some uncomfortable conditions. It can also lead to some explosive disagreements. She gets the last word. If you tell her a lie, she may tell two. The Scorpio sense of justice is as strong as the sense of revenge. She'll remember every kindness and give you back double for that. It works both ways.}

^{With the children, her expression of love may lack certain tenderness and open demonstration. a Scorpio mother won't let the talents of her children go unnoticed or gather dust. She'll spend many an hour encouraging them toward higher goals, and be willing to provide any support they need. She'll teach them to meet difficulties with her own courage. Anyone who is a threat to the happiness of her children will be crushed. That includes her husband.}

^{A Scorpio woman will some times nearly drown you in her passion for living. She's a little dangerous, perhaps, but undeniably exciting.}
