Scorpion (24 October - 22 November)
It’s often confusing how others are so different. As a matter of fact it isn’t easy to accept that the World and our words mean something else for each of us. In the process of understanding Astrology can really help us. There is always a group of people who represent the features of Zodiac signs more significantly by their solar sign or their Ascendant, however all features are present in all of us – as we know all human qualities from the inside.
Scorpion, for example, belongs to the element Water, so under her effect emotions play the main role. The ruling planet of the sign Pluto, adds passion, extremes and big intensity to them. On the stages of Life Scorpion can be the leading man or lady, the Hero or the Heroine. Scorpion’s prime element is intensity, they’d rather look for situations to die of than living in dull serenity.
Having done everything wholeheartedly Scorpion often get deep under the surface but never stay there; they are tenacious and sturdy. And they do need it as they aren’t chary neither to themselves nor to others on the path of cognition. As if Scorpion would have come among us to shake us up.
They watch others in focus and have an extraordinary sense of finding their week points. But first of all they search their own depths, and do it in fire and in big dramas. If they find an exciting challenge, they can get totally engaged and be really committed.
