They are usually observant, shrewd, critically inclined, judicious, patient, practical supporters of the status quo, and tend toward conservatism in all departments of life. On the surface they are emotionally cold, and sometimes this goes deeper, for their habit of suppressing their natural kindness may in the end cause it to atrophy, with the result that they shrink from committing themselves to friendships.

Scorpio

Scorpio is a Fixed Water sign; in other words, ice. Actually, Scorpio is more like an iceberg, because people in Scorpio may not show much on the surface, but there is a lot more going on down below! Scorpio experiences emotions at a deeper level than any other sign. Scorpio Traits: Determined and forceful, Emotional and intuitive, Powerful and passionate, Exciting and magnetic. On the dark side.... Jealous and resentful, Compulsive and obsessive, Secretive and obstinate. Keywords for Scorpio are "I DESIRE". Scorpians are the most intense, profound, powerful characters in the zodiac. Even when they appear self-controlled and calm there is a seething intensity of emotional energy under the placid exterior. But those who are particularly perceptive will be aware of the harnessed aggression, the immense forcefulness, magnetic intensity and often strangely hypnotic personality of the Scorpion. In social gatherings they are pleasant to be with, great in conversation, dignified and reserved, yet friendly and courteous. In their day to day behavior they give the appearance of being withdrawn from the center of activity, yet those who know them know they are sitting back and watching those around them. They need great self-discipline, because they are able to recognize the qualities in themselves that make them different from other humans, and to know that their utterly conventional natures can be used for great good or great evil. Their tenacity and willpower are immense, their depth of character and passionate conviction overwhelming, yet they are deeply sensitive and easily moved by their emotions. Their sensitivity, makes them easily hurt, quick to detect insult or injury to themselves (often when none is intended) and easily aroused to ferocious anger. They relate to fellow workers only as leaders and can be blunt to those they dislike to the point of cruelty. In fact they are not above expressing vindictiveness in deliberate cruelty. They are too demanding, too unforgiving of faults in others, perhaps because they are not aware of the shortcomings within themselves, and express their disgust in themselves by unleashing on others. They do, however, make excellent friends, provided that their companions do nothing to insult their honor. Part of the negative side of the Scorpion nature is a tendency to discard friends once they cease to be useful, but the decent Scorpio is aware of and fights this tendency.They are fortunate that their strong reasoning powers are balanced with imagination and intuition. These gifts, together with amazing perception and analytical capacity, can enable Scorpions to reach levels of profound thought high above the average person. They have a better chance of becoming geniuses than the members of any other sign. They can sink into the extremes of depravity if they take the wrong path, and the intensity of their natures exaggerates their harmful tendencies into vices far greater than the normal. They have a tendency towards rebelliousness, hatred of the establishment makes them utterly unscrupulous terrorists. They may carry a brooding resentment, aggressive and sadistic brutality, total arrogance, morbid jealousy and may have a dangerous temper. At the other extreme is the procrastinator, the man or woman who is capable of so much that they do nothing and become indolent and self-indulgent. Being gifted they can find fulfillment in many employment's. Having at their disposal an ice-cold self-control and detachment they can make a great surgeon, research scientist or soldier. Any profession in which analysis, investigation, research, and the solving of mysteries are relevant can appeal to them. If they make the Church their profession, their inner intensity can express itself in the spiritual fervor of the mystic. Scorpio is the symbol of sex and Scorpions are passionate lovers, the most sensually energetic of all the signs. For them union with someone they love is a sacrament, an "outward and visible sign of an inward and spiritual grace." Their overriding urge in sex is to use their power to penetrate beyond themselves and to lose themselves sexually in their partners in an almost mystical ecstasy, thus discovering the meaning of that union which is greater than individuality and is a marriage of the spirit as well as of flesh. They are capable of the greatest heights of passionate transport, but debauchery and perversion are always dangers, and Scorpions can become sadistic monsters of sensuality and eroticism. Their feelings are so intense that even when their love is of the highest and most idealistic kind, they are frequently protagonists in tragic, even violent romances. Physically they tend to be of average height with strong, capable, thick set, hirsute bodies, bow legs and a short neck. Their skulls are dome shaped and their hair is coarse, thick and curly. Their faces are broad and square, with swarthy complexions and dark eyes. They have strong constitutions, resistant to disease. Scorpio governs the pelvis and reproductive and urinary systems and its subjects are said to be prone to ailments of the liver and kidneys, stones and gravel in the bladder or genitals. Abscesses, boils, hemorrhoids, ruptures and ulcers may also affect the Scorpion Scorpio is ruled by the planet Mars. (Modern Astrologers also associate the planet Pluto with Scorpio).
