Astrology Signs: The Scorpion

Scorpio is the 8th Astrological sign of the zodiac. It is a water sign and has fixed Yin qualities. Associated with the constellation Scorpius this sign is ruled by the planets Mars and Pluto. Scorpios have a fixed quality and are very intense people.

Scorpios are primarily associated with the cycle of life and death especially reproduction. This sign tends to exude a powerful magnetism towards the opposite gender. In addition the Tarot cards of the Rider-Waite deck that correspond to this sign are the suit of cups in the minor arcana and the Death card in the major arcane.

The Astrological symbol for this sign is the Scorpio's stinger attached to the human reproductive organs which resembles the letter M with a tail. This is very fitting seeing as the 8th house is the ruler of reproduction. Interestingly enough this symbol also represented the mythical phoenix in ancient times. This bird would rise from its own ashes after it was consumed in flames symbolic of the Scorpio's true nature as the ruler of life and death.

Intense and emotionally perceptive, Scorpios tend to pick up on the unspoken word such as body language. This sign is very deep and mysterious longing for a close intimate connection. However if scorpions get hurt beware of their barbed stingers they really pack a punch!

Those born under this sign seem to be on a serious mission to learn about humanity. This sign tends to be all business avoiding idle chatter and zeroing in on the meat and potatoes of the conversation to pick up on implied meanings in the verbal content.

Traveling in a black and white world leaves little room for compromise with Scorpios. The intimate nature of this sign is closely matched by their curious inquisitive nature. They tend to unearth answers and secrets from seemingly insignificant bits of information that others may over look.

Possessing remarkable regenerative power along with the ability to move forward and persevere allows Scorpios to achieve high levels of success. These attributes make this sign a strong foe or invaluable ally. However, do not pry to deep into their secrets if you are seeking friendship as this may chase them away.

The fixed nature of this sign makes them stubborn and willful. Often times plowing forward towards their goals not caring who gets left in their wake. At the risk of life and limb this sign will use all of the resources available to achieve success.

Being a water sign many of their decisions are based on emotion rather than logic. Scorpios tend to make few friends and tend to be loners mainly due to their lack of trust for others. Their incredibly sensitive nature makes them apt to be hurt so often they have many secrets as well.

Overall this sign is one of the most mysterious and profound of the zodiac. Being good with money, in love, and full of cosmic knowledge this sign is concerned primarily with attaining and maintaining power. Exerting power over their environment, others, and their lives so that one day they can sit back and admire their success. Lastly, remember that life and death are the cornerstones of the Scorpio's being and define the ultimate motivation for their destiny.
