 Scorpio
is the negative sign of Mars, fixed water, the
sexual organs of the Cosmic Man, a scorpion. As
sign no. 8 (2 x 4), it shows a need for balance
and stability on a deeper or psychic level.
Scorpio is a very profound and mysterious sign.
As the negative or physical side of Mars, Scorpio people are
often soldiers, policemen or athletes. They like
to use their martial force on a physical level
and can be prone to the use of force. They
usually have good muscles and like to exercise.
When mentally developed they have a good
capacity for research and inquiry and may become
chemists or surgeons.
More evolved Scorpio types like to explore the depths of the
mind and may have an interest in the occult and
yoga (tantra). Their kundalini can often be
easily aroused for good or ill. They may like
trying to work with or overcome negative forces
and see life as a battle between light and
darkness, with which they may become obsessed.
They are often fascinated with techniques or technologies for
directing energy, either outwardly or inwardly.
Scorpios can be very intelligent and perceptive
but prefer to remain behind the scenes or do not
express themselves quickly (not because they are
slow but because they are cautious).
Scorpio born can be good orators or debaters, and may become good poets,
artists or actors by their ability to express
powerful emotions. They are usually passionate
and can be very attached sexually. When
unevolved they are prone to vice, perversity or
the underworld side of life and can become
violent, emotionally or physically. Scorpio
types are intense, secretive, introverted and
sometimes troubled. They have an active
subconscious and must keep their emotions clear
and pure, free of envy and attachment, or they
can get stuck on an emotional level.
Yet by this sensitivity they may develop a philosophical
disposition and profound insight that the other
types attain to rarely. They can be caught in
their solar plexus and the accumulation of
personal power.
Scorpio born natives need to surrender to the heart. The higher side
of Scorpio is symbolized by the eagle, the
profundity of vision and transcendence needed to
subdue the serpent. |
