Understanding a Scorpio
One
symbol of the Sign of Scorpio is the phoenix. If you meditate upon the legend
of the phoenix you will begin to understand the Scorpio character – his or her
powers and abilities, interests and deepest urges.
The phoenix oh mythology was a bird that could recreate and reproduce itself.
It did so in a most intriguing way: it would seek a fire – usually in a
religious temple – fly into it, consume itself in the flames and then emerge a
new bird. If this is not the ultimate, the most profound transformation, then
what is?
Transformation is what Scorpios are all about – in their minds, bodies, affairs
and relationships (Scorpios are also society's transformers). To change
something in a natural, not an artificial way, involves a transformation from
within. This type of change is a radical change as opposed to a mere cosmetic
make-over. Some people think that change means altering just interests a
Scorpio. Scorpios seek deep, fundamental change. Since real change always
proceeds from within, a Scorpio is very interested in – and usually accustomed
to – the inner, intimate and philosophical side of life.
Scorpios are people of depth and intellect. If you want to interest them you
must present them with more than just a superficial image. You and your
interests, projects or business deals must have real substance to them in order
to stimulate a Scorpio. If they haven't, he or she will find you out – and that
will be the end of the story.
If we observe life – the process of growth and decay – we see the
transformational powers of Scorpio at work al the time. The caterpillar changes
itself into a butterfly; the infant grows into a child and then an adult. To
Scorpios this definite and perpetual transformation is not something to be
feared. They see it as a normal part of life. This acceptance of transformation
gives Scorpios the key to understanding the true meaning of life.
Scorpios' understanding of life (including life's weaknesses) makes them
powerful warriors – in all senses of the word. Add to this their depth,
patience and endurance and you have a powerful personality. Scorpios have good,
long memories and can at times be quite vindictive – they can wait years to get
their revenge. As a friend, though, there is no one more loyal and true than a
Scorpio. Few are willing to make the sacrifice that a Scorpio will make for a
true friend.
The results of a transformation are quite obvious, although the process of
transformation is quite obvious, although the process of transformation is invisible
and secret. This is why Scorpios are considered secretive in nature. A seed
will not grow properly if you keep digging it up and exposing it to the light
of day. It must stay buried – invisible – until it starts to grow. In the same
manner, Scorpios fear revealing too much about themselves or their hopes to
other people. However, they will be more than happy to let you see the finished
product – but only when it is completely wrapped up. On the other hand,
Scorpios like knowing everyone else's secrets as much as they dislike anyone
knowing theirs.
