Archetypes and Roles
The Controller, the Hypnotist, the Magician, the Detective, the Transformer
Resourcefulness and secrecy are the traits bestowed by your emblem, the cosmic
spider.
As the spider weaves its shimmering web, you weave an intricate tapestry
for your own life.
The eternal passions and dramas linked to birth, death, and rebirth create
an intensity about all you do and are.
"I Create" is your spiritual signature.
In mythology Scorpio is linked to the phoenix, the divine bird which recreates
its own life from the ashes of the past.
The Egyptian scarab, the sacred beetle of immortality, also belongs to you.
It reveals your fascination with death and the afterlife.
Near death experiences and past life regressions are important in your spiritual
quest.
By facing the darkness and overcoming it, the seeker is tempered and oftened
strengthened.
This is the sign of extremes.
The key to your personality is intensity.
In the sign of Scorpio the element of water is fixed, an image that suggests
an iceberg or a bottomless well.
Turbulent passions are always rolling underneath, invisible on the surface.
More than natives of any other sign, Scorpios live at a high pitch of emotion.
The Scorpion energy, drive, and endurance are legend.
You seek to give your life a meaningful pattern, to find a deeper purpose.
All the water signs (Cancer, Scorpio, and Pisces) tend to be psychic, but
you Scorpios delve into the powers of the mind that others are afraid of.
This is the zodiacal sign of birth, sex, death, and regeneration- areas of
human existence in which one confronts the mysteries of the universe.
The complexity of your mind makes it difficult for you to skim the surface;
you must uncover what lies beneath.
You are deeply loyal to friends but are also intensely jealous and
possessive.
With you it is all or nothing at all.
Moderation and restraint are not in your emotional vocabulary.
You never forget a kindness and try to repay it generously.
On the other hand, you never forgive an injury, and will wait years to get
even.
It is strictly not advisable to do harm to any Scorpion.
You are a fierce competitor, though often you manage to conceal this
from others.
When you spot a weakness in a rival, you move in quickly for the kill.
Your nature makes you subject to obsessive drives which can be resistant
to reason.
You will dominate and control anyone who lets you.
Suspicious and wary, you are reluctant to give your heart out to anyone.
But once you do, you love deeply.
What all Scorpios have in common is intensity of feeling.
Emotion not only rules, it characterizes you.
You are passionate about everything in which you become involved.

HOW TO ATTRACT A SCORPIO
Scorpios are noted for their unpredictability, but here are a few general rules that may serve as a guide.
Listen to a Scorpio carefully with full attention.
If you fake it, that will be the end before there's even a beginning.
An Overriding Scorpio trait: curiosity.
Never tell something without telling the how and the why.
This won't get far with Scorpio.
They enjoy most forms of recreation, particularly water types.
Scorpios also enjoy parties, social affairs where they can associate with
successful people.
If you get into an argument (and you shouldn't with anyone born under this sign), please remember to be respectful. Scorpios are proud, serious, and don't believe that any of their opinions should be trifled with.
