Love and Relationships
Scorpio
is another Zodiac Sign that likes committed, clearly defined, structured
relationships. They are cautious about marriage, but when they do commit to a
relationship they tend to be faithful – and heaven help the mate caught or even
suspected of infidelity! The jealousy of the Scorpio is legendary. They can be
so intense in their that even the thought or intention of infidelity will be
detected and is likely to cause as much a storm as if the deed had actually
been done.
Scorpios tend to settle down with those who are wealthier than they are. They
usually have enough intensity for two, so in their partners they seek someone
pleasant, hard-working, amiable, stable and easy-going. They want someone they
can lean on, someone loyal behind them as they fight the battles of life. To a
Scorpio a partner, be it a lover or a friend, is a real partner – not an
adversary. Most of all a Scorpio is
looking for an ally, not a competitor.
If you are in love with a Scorpio you will need a lot of patience. It takes a
long time to get to know Scorpios, because they do not reveal themselves
readily. But if you persist and your motives are honorable, you will gradually
be allowed into a Scorpio's inner chambers of mind and heart.
Home and Domestic Life
Uranus is Ruler of Scorpio's 4th Solar House of Home and
Family. Uranus is the Planet of Science, Technology, Changes and Democracy.
This tells us a lot about a Scorpio's conduct in the home and what he or she
needs on order to have a happy, harmonious home life.
Scorpios can sometimes bring their passion, intensity and willfulness into the
home and family, which is not always the place for these qualities. These
traits are good for the warrior and the transformer, but not so good for the
nurturer and family member. Because of this (and also of their need for change
and transformation) the Scorpio may be prone to sudden changes of residence. If
not carefully constrained, the sometimes inflexible Scorpio can produce turmoil
and sudden upheavals within the family.
Scorpios need to develop some of the virtues of Aquarius in order to cope
better with domestic matters. There is a need to build a team spirit at home,
to treat family activities as truly group activities – family members should
all have a say in what does and does not get done. For at times a Scorpio can
be most dictatorial. When a Scorpio gets dictatorial it is much worse than if a
Leo or Capricorn (the two other power Signs in the Zodiac) does. For the
dictatorship of a Scorpio as applied with more zeal, passion, intensity and
concentration than is true of either a Leo or Capricorn. Obviously this can be
unbearable to family members – especially if they are sensitive types.
In order for a Scorpio to get the full benefit of the emotional support that a
family can give, he or she needs to let go of conservatism and be a bit more
experimental, to explore new techniques in child-rearing, be more democratic
with family members and to try manage things by consensus rather than by
autocratic edict.
