Now, would you would be so kind as to help me with a Scorpio male?

I do realize you referenced Scorpios in general, I have no problem with the females, one of my best buds is a dbl. Scorp female....its dem males, that can get me twisted.

Scorpio is the mystery sign of the zodiac. It is the death sign and the sign in which the battle must be fought between the soul and the personality. The personality has to die. Devil or angel - there is no in between.

There are three symbols for Scorpio. One is the Scorpion, the lowest symbol of the sign who, rather than forgo the pleasure of stinging, will sting himself to death; the eagle, a symbol of a bird that can fly closer to the Sun (spirit) than any other; and the phoenix bird resurrected from the ashes of the dead self.

I have known many Scorpios, each operating on different levels of their signs symbols. Some have risen above and some operate from there lowest levels. But I guess the same could be said about all the signs, right?

Sthenri, remember Scorpio is our opposite sign, and you know what they say about that. You either love your opposite or hate 'em. I mostly love Scorps, but I've really hated them too, I mean the ones I love. Either way Taurus and Scorpio will feel strongly towards one another.

I am practicing, holding on tightly, and letting go lightly, when I am able.

Thank you for the visualizations. The one I like best is consistent, at least I can feel secure that way, although I still feel that Scorpios are not exactly predictable.

Everything you said sounded a lot like me growing up, but being a Libra, there were a lot of the Scorpio traits which took me many many years to hone. I still always learn from Scorpio's, and once I learned to deal with my ego stuff, Scorpio's were the best. Maybe people get freaked out because they think "scorpion sting" or that it's a "negative" sign, "feminine" sign. But then they'd just be projecting their insecurities onto you, which makes it a good thing that Scorpio is a Fixed sign with resolve and nerves of steal.

When I think back on nuances of Scorpio influences I noticed in myself growing up, (made more potent w/ a Cancer Moon), had to do with real majic and transformation. Majic could be so many things, like getting someone to say or think something you wished. Or taking the time to understand the essence of a situation, rather than accept it as ordinary or generic like other people have.

As for transformation, knowing that no matter what, there's always mystery in life that we can embrace. We study HOW to have certain mysteries revealed to us. The process itself. Then we transform ourselves into a force which can relate.

Was it Linda who said Scorpio women were ahead of their time? But it's not in a "look at me I have on the latest fad" style. It's more like EONS ahead, to the point where we really live in our own heads a lot. Like one day spitting on the sidewalk, surprised when it explodes.

You are right about that. It's the single most powerful tool I have. Study the ways of the ninja.

**Disclaimer: that is a completely and utterly biased POV from a Scorp It is in no way meant to imply that only Scorpio has those traits.

I find it hard to keep my temper and patience in check when faced with too much inconsistency. I am working on it.

Scorpios are very confident, that is true, but more confident around the opposite sex. One issue I have is that my Scorpio friends are much more secure and predictable around men than women, which leaves me wondering. Once I wonder, the hard feelings start. I can see that men are more predictable than women, is it that the Scorpio woman is very adaptable to others?

If that is so, I still find it hard to find the center, the consistent friendship base, that I need to rely on sometimes. Scorpios do make great companions, for dinner and movies but if you can't spend time together than I find the friendship falters.
To me that is a tough one too, but I am doing my best to send positive images to the world to keep our friendship.

A really good example or image to put in your mind is, Scorpio Demi Moore in "G.I. Jane". Not only her character in the movie, but the fact that she took the part, shaved her head, experienced comraderie with "the boys", and became one of them during that time.

Notice how she's tried to push the envelope for women. Posing naked while pregnant, playing a stripper, dating Ashton... she seeks to establish her power in an independent fashion, not in traditional ways.
