According to the ancients, there are many variations of Homo Scorpius. This is
testimonial to your well recognized complexity. The scorpion symbolizes a hotheaded
warrior who is violently passionate, bluntly sarcastic, egotistical, controlling and
manipulative. The soaring eagle symbolizes the calm but intense, focused,
determined, intuitive and perceptive Scorpio who often develops healing, clairvoyant,
and counseling abilities. The sacred serpent, an Egyptian emblem of cosmic wisdom,
was grounded in earthly reality, but penetrated the higher levels of consciousness.
The serpent periodically sheds outworn habits, beliefs, and illusions to facilitate
growth through rebirth. The phoenix is the confident, courageous, positive
transformer that transcends the personal ego. The sympathetic, generous dove, a
natural healer, is infused with love, which it transmits to others.
Your keyword is TRANSFORMATION. You likely will experience all the traits of your
sign's varied symbols to some extent through the psychological death and
regeneration process. Contrasts and extremes of virtue and vice are imbedded in
every Scorpio, waiting for employment or transcendence. It can be a difficult journey
or a blissful one depending on your choices. There's no middle-of-the-road playing
around with you. Your feelings are very strong and unyielding, and you can be
extremely sensitive and willful. It would be good for you to work at being cooperative.
