Scorpios are the most intense, profound, powerful characters in the
zodiac. Even when they appear self-controlled and calm there is a
seething intensity of emotional energy under the placid exterior.
They are like the volcano not far under the surface of a calm sea,
it may burst into eruption at any moment. But those of us who are
particularly perceptive will be aware of the harnessed aggression,
the immense forcefulness, magnetic intensity, and often strangely
hypnotic personality under the tranquil, but watchful composure of
Scorpio. In conventional social gatherings they are pleasant to be
with, thoughtful in conversation, dignified, and reserved, yet
affable and courteous; they sometimes possess penetrating eyes which
make their shyer companions feel naked and defenseless before them.
In
their everyday behavior they give the appearance of being withdrawn
from the center of activity, yet those who know them will recognize
the watchfulness that is part of their character. They need great
self-discipline, because they are able to recognize the qualities in
themselves that make them different from other humans, and to know
their utterly conventional natures can be used for great good, or
great evil. Their tenacity and willpower are immense, their depth of
character and passionate conviction overwhelming, yet they are
deeply sensitive and easily moved by their emotions. Their
sensitivity, together with a propensity for extreme likes and
dislikes make them easily hurt, quick to detect insult or injury to
themselves (often when none is intended) and easily aroused to
ferocious anger. This may express itself in such destructive speech
or action that they make lifelong enemies by their outspokenness,
for they find it difficult not to be overly critical of anything or
anyone to whom they take a dislike.
 They can harness their abundant energy constructively, tempering
their self-confidence with shrewdness and their ambition with
magnanimity toward others provided they like them. They relate to
fellow workers only as leaders and can be blunt to those they
dislike to the point of cruelty. In fact they are not above
expressing vindictiveness in deliberate cruelty. They are too
demanding, too unforgiving of faults in others, perhaps because they
are not aware of the shortcomings within themselves, and
extravagantly express their self-disgust in unreasonable resentment
against their fellows. They do, however, make excellent friends,
provided that their companions do nothing to impugn the honor of
which Scorpios are very jealous. Part of the negative side of the
Scorpio nature is a tendency to discard friends once they cease to
be useful, but the decent native is aware of, and fights this
tendency.
They are fortunate in that their strong reasoning powers are
tempered with imagination and intuition, and these gifts, together
with critical perception and analytical capacity, can enable the
Scorpions to penetrate to profundities beyond the average. They have
a better chance of becoming geniuses than the natives of any other
sign. But charismatic "twice-born" characters such as they can sink
into the extremes of depravity if they take the wrong path, and the
intensity of their nature exaggerates their harmful tendencies into
vices far greater than the normal. Rebelliousness against all
conventions, political extremism to the point where hatred of the
Establishment makes them utterly unscrupulous terrorists. Brooding
resentment, aggressive and sadistic brutality, total arrogance,
morbid jealousy, extreme volatility of temperament, these are some
of their vices. At the other extreme is the procrastinator, the man
or woman who is capable of so much that they do nothing and become
indolent and self-indulgent, requiring extravagant praise and
flattery from those whom they make their cronies.
 Being
so gifted, they can find fulfillment in many employments. Their
inner intensity can result in the ice-cold self-control and
detachment of the surgeon, the concentration of the research
scientist, and the heroism of the soldier. Any profession in which
analysis, investigation, research, dealing with practicalities, and
the solving of mysteries are relevant, can appeal to them. So police
and detective work, espionage and counterespionage, the law, physics
or psychology may attract them, and they can become masters of the
written and spoken word. They may be most persuasive orators and
find fulfillment as diplomats or preachers and, if they make the
Church their profession, their inner intensity can express itself in
the spiritual fervor of the mystic or the thaumaturgy.
Scorpio is the symbol of sex and Scorpios are passionate lovers, the
most sensually energetic of all the signs. For them, union with the
beloved is a sacrament, an "outward and visible sign of an inward
and spiritual grace.". Their overriding urge in loving is to use
their power to penetrate beyond themselves and to lose themselves
sexually in their partners in an almost mystical ecstasy, thus
discovering the meaning of that union which is greater than
individuality, and is a marriage of the spirit as well as of flesh.
They are thus capable of the greatest heights of passionate
transport, but debauchery and perversion are always dangers, and
Scorpios can become sadistic monsters of sensuality and eroticism.
Their feelings are so intense that even when their love is of the
highest, and most idealistic kind, they are nevertheless frequently
protagonists in tragic, even violent romances, "star-crossed
lovers".

 The
Scorpio Woman: October 23 - November 21
by Susan Miller
The Scorpio woman has great charm, allure, and inner strength, and
is able to overcome most any obstacle in life. She comes across as
self-confident and self-possessed and men are drawn to her for that
reason. There is a mysterious quality about the Scorpio woman,
because she is intensely private, discrete and secretive. Soon she
will learn everything about you, but later you will realize that she
hasn't given you many details about herself--that's Scorpio's
natural reticence.
 Finally, the operative word to best understand your Scorpio lover is
"passion." One Scorpio once said to me that passion was the single
most important ingredient in life, that is, to be passionate about
one's loved ones, one's career, one's lifestyle, for without
passion, what kind of life would we have in the end? Well said!
Your Challenge
Your Scorpio beauty is attracted to power, so if you have it, you
are ahead of the game. Your other challenge will be that this lady
has a mind of her own, so if you think you can tame her, forget it.
How To Handle Her
 Her highly intuitive nature makes her a mind reader extraordinaire,
so don't try to hide anything from her. If you are trying to impress
her with power you don't have, her Pluto-ruled nature will sense it
like a homing device. (Certainly you don't want to activate her seek
and destroy mechanism.) In love and friendship, she is true-blue
loyal and will expect the same from you. If you show her the
slightest reason to distrust you, however, she will never forgive
you. On the other hand, treat her well and she will reward you for
the rest of your life. Home and family are regarded as sacred, and
Scorpio will defend and support her man to the ends of the earth.
Like Leo women, Scorpio women are into control, and with her
magnetic, femme fatale powers, she will soon have the upper hand.
After all, who could resist her famous Scorpion gaze, those
memorable bedroom eyes?
Things To Do, Gifts To Buy
If you take your Scorpio
beloved out for dinner, make it a private little dark rendezvous,
overlooking water if
possible or better yet, as a guest on a private yacht (preferably
yours). The Scorpion woman will always be understated with her
powerful sexuality--she doesn't need to flaunt it, it exudes
naturally. In her dress, she is very careful about her accessories,
buying only the finest shoes and handbags, and if she needs one, an
elegant leather brief case. She knows these accessories punctuate
her entire look and impart a feeling of true elegance. Get her
quality things made out of leather (down, boy, not those things). If
treating her to perfume, get her a modern oriental or something of
musk and subtly sexual.
 While the Scorpio woman is always a lady in public, she loves being
her man's fantasy woman in the bedroom. Buy her some new lingerie in
of her most flattering tones: maroon, eggplant or a black. Elegant
French and Italian imported lingerie will impress her so buy her a demi-cup push up bra, tiny, sheer g-string bikini and elegant garter
belt, complete with a pair of black seamed stockings. She may also
be amused and aroused by a lavishly illustrated photography book by
Helmut Newton or Doris Kloster. If you get lucky, she may want to
experiment a little by lap dancing for you and you alone.
This sign rules detective work, so plan a mystery for her. She has a
rich imagination and this should work whether you've known her a
month or a decade. Tell her to meet you in the most elegant hotel
bar in town. When you spot her, stand at the other end of the bar
and have the waiter send over a glass of champagne and a note from
you. By now the suggestive nature of your behavior will have the
staff murmuring and staring and it will begin to turn her on
tremendously. After the second or third drink, send her the key to
your room in a small envelope. (Book their best suite ahead of time
and stock it with roses and.) When she's pocketed the key, have her
meet you by the elevator. Ride up alone, pushing her against the
back wall of the elevator and tell her in great detail what you have
planned. Show her the silk ribbons you've tucked into your breast
pocket--Scorpio is intrigued by bondage. Although she will try her
hardest not to show it, she will be aching for you to begin. She
won't forget this mystery, and neither will you!
