Scorpio

Today, the 24th of October, 2013, the Sun moves into the sign of Scorpio. For those of you born under the sign of Scorpio through the Sun sign, have your Rising Sign in Scorpio, or with a heavy influence of planets in the eighth house, this post will apply to you.

Those of you born with the Sun in Scorpio have probably heard of the symbol of the scorpion, but have you heard of the other two symbols related to the sign of Scorpio--the eagle and the serpent/salamander and of course the Scorpion. These three symbols speak primarily of evolution. The scorpion represents the lowest form of these three symbols. This symbol has to do with devilish motives and has a reputation of being selfish, self-centred, and jealous. These individuals generally lash out on impulse. The Scorpio personality at this stage of development will get even at some point.

The Serpent or Salamander is wise and usually successful in worldly affairs. They have a tendency to keep their identity somewhat hidden as they choose to keep the “self” secret. Because of this, they are difficult to get to know, let alone understand. They usually have a powerful personality and people are aware of their presence. They are able to go below the surface and easily pinpoint faults in others, but rarely see their own. They are very sure of themselves, and proof is an essential part of their learning process. They need some type of solid evidence and then it will be scrutinized. Only to their own satisfaction will they arrive at a suitable conclusion. They are persistent and determined to reach their goals although not particularly materialistic.

The third and highest evolved type is the Eagle. The key to this personality is to get to the truth. They are very self-aware and work relentlessly towards the betterment of society. They are helpful and courteous and weaker individuals gain much needed strength from them. They genuinely inspire those around them and have a soft spot for the underdog. They will help anyone in need and always put others before themselves. The Eagle personality makes excellent leaders. In emergencies, they are calm, cool and collected with great self-control. They have the capacity to devote themselves totally to a cause that produces positive results. They have mystical abilities and psychic tendencies and have a great love of mankind.

If you were were to study all these characteristics and have strong Scorpio tendencies, you may find a mix of many of these different qualities within you. You may elevate yourself from one to the next and push yourself to the greatest heights if you choose to follow the path of the Eagle. Most Scorpio individuals do not need applause or admiration and are proud but not egotistical. Some have an undeveloped search for self-satisfaction and are well known for their sexual energy and pursuits.

Scorpio is a difficult sign for women to be born into as Scorpio individuals are often dominant, masterful and inside have enormous emotions with intense feelings. Both men and women usually look older in their younger years but age gracefully and look younger in their mature years.

Scorpio men are aggressive in their sexual pursuit as are some women. This is not to say that they cannot control their sexual energies as they have powerful self-controlled. They can be demanding and if they become lustful must learn to fight this energy before they will have a chance to find happiness.

These characteristics point out some of the significant features of the Scorpio Sun sign.
