Hello

i'm wondering if there's a way to tone down the intensity of your eyes
a while ago, i started experimenting with a more intense and fixed gaze, the response i got from people were quite rude, maybe because my eyes looked predatorial intead of intense
i had a guy walking passed snarled directly at me
girls made catty comments
i'm usually not that candid, but i'm lost , i tried to change my eyes to a more softer expression, but they seem to be frozen in a permanent gaze, it's been a year now since the regretful experiment, and not much has changed

any advice, besides wearing sunnies?

Ice Mists, it's hard to control your eyes when you are that intense. I would work on softening the other parts of your face so that you can try to look more relaxed. Then people think that you are just really interested in them, not trying to kill them with a look. I try to keep the corners of my mouth upturned a little- just a hint of a smile- because otherwise people think that I'm ****** or sad when really I'm neither. That's the best advice I can give.

Hello to everybody!

This is the first time I post something and I'm pretty excited!!!

I'm a Virgo and I've been always fascinated with Scorpios, specially after I fell totally for one a few years ago... Since then I have had a traumatic relationship with another one (I think the only reason we connected was because of that... Other problems like the age difference, his libra ascendant and the culture shock - he is British and I'm Spanish - spoiled it). Nevertheless, we are still very close.

I have never had problems with their gaze... I like it... They look into your soul but I don't have a problem with that. I have nothing to hide. I also look in theirs and I like what I see... I think they find that sexy, your purity of mind...

I think it was Linda who said that the darkness in them is drawn to the light in us... The myth of Hades and Proserpine, I suppose. It must be true because I tend to attract them and usually get on very well with them. It's an instant click.

I just find them fascinating and very honest, sometimes too much. I find it unfair when other star signs accuse them of creepy, intrusive, scary or dangerous... Even when they have hurt me it's been trying not to... And if they can do something for you, they will turn the Earth upside down to help you.

They just need to learn how to channel their power, to find the balance...

Por cierto, tambien hablo español... Alguien en el foro preguntaba...

Thanks for your time!!!

Welcome Steelrose -

We've had discussions here about Virgo & Scorpio attractions and so forth. I'm sure you'll get a lot of feedback.

I have a 12th house Pluto (@ almost 4 degrees Virgo);which is the closest planet to my Ascendent (@ almost 24 degrees Virgo)..and I think that has been a problem for me at times..

Hi Ice Mists hey, are you a Scorpio? Or have Moon, Asc or Pluto in Scorp?
About your eye prob, I suddenly remembered a while ago, that I had noticed when my Grandpa died and I was walking around in a kind of sad, lost and vulnerable state, guys (who didnt know me) would smile kindly at me, open doors, move for me too pass, ask if I was OK, and basically people seemed to be extra nice and I felt incredibly comforted...
Thinking about this I realised when he died I was so devastated that I didnt feel the usual need to protect myself, to cover stuff up, including 'being = looking vulnerable'. So people wanted to look after me, which was lovely!! Anyways, try thinking about things that make you feel compassionate or sad (but not depressed!!!) and soften your appearance, and people wont feel so threatened by you and you hopefully wont get such nasty reactions!!! Does that help!!?

Hello Steelrose!! Welcome to LL Im rubbish at Spanish (lol!) so I wont try and confuse you, but Hola!!
Wow, thankyou for the postive light on us Scorpions ! I must say I have probably known only about two Virgos, but I have got on with them, often feeling very motherly and wanting to protect them and help them! I wish I knew more of you!! Virgos seem to understand where Scorps are coming from, and we share a lot of similarities- critical, self doubting, analytical, persevering, sensitive and more.
Ive found them to be sweet and quirky, and often unsure of themselves, defending the underdog, always wanting to do the 'right thing' and unusually forgiving, which is such a relief for me as a Scorp, I feel I can let my boundaries down and not worry about being hurt or judged and critisised, and also they just seem to bring out a different side of me.
Yes, Lindas said some incredibly true and insightful things about Scorpios, she also had an affinity for them, which is cool cos SOME astro books

Just wanted to say thanks for posting that, and nice to meet you!

I'm not sure if it would help or not, to think about the Sign between the two, but I do so LOVE the mythology that goes with it. The influences of Virgo & Scorpio are very strong in my chart, even having a Mercury in Scorpio, and a Pluto in Virgo ... heeeee

The way I understand it is that before there was Libra, there was only Virgo & Scorpio. Scorpio karmically understands both those signs, and maybe explains why Virgo-influenced dames like to fall for the courteous Sag's.

PS: Scorps! School these "virgins"!

Hey Sunscorpion, that's really funny you mention how you soften your eye intensity. I do the same exact thing! Especially by just carrying a compassionate frame of mind. It would probaby seem like a Piscean look. People are generally not as threatened by my eyes anymore. Well at least I hope their not.
I've noticed when I'm walking around, concentrating on thinking about humanitarian things, peoples reactions to me are different. Like random people will just smile or say hi.
But when I'm on a "mission" or in a hurry, um people stand out of the way.

Hello again!

Thank you for your comments, Sun_Scorpion…

What you say about feeling protective and motherly about Virgos is very true… I don’t know why but I have always had Scorpio Guardian Angels wherever I go… My own mother is one… Even when I went abroad there was one waiting for me to smooth my path…

I suppose we do have lots of things in common, we understand where we are coming from… Linda said that Virgo stops being critical, prudish and nervous when a Scorpio is around and Scorpio stops being vindictive, jealous and suspicious when a Virgo is around… They just relax and are themselves, they tend to trust and understand each other… I suppose Scorps know (because the know everything, they sense it) that Virgos won’t hurt them no matter what and Virgos also know that Scorps will protect them with passion, that they are safe, that nobody will dare to hurt them with a scorpion guarding them.

I just don’t think you Scorpions should hide what you are… I don’t like Piscean gazes, they are weak and superficial… There is no point in disguises… You are intense and powerful, what is wrong with that? If other people are not strong enough to face it, well, they shouldn’t be around you… I must admit, it’s cute to see your vulnerable side now and again… You feel so rewarded because you conquered the scorpion’s trust… But not because you are pretending… The best part of you is your honesty. Don’t spoil it trying to please others.

Woohoo. I loved this thread and also joined because of it (and a couple of others).

I am a Scorp - 4 planets in Scorp - Sun & Mercury in Scorp in 1st house + Venus & Neptune in Scorp in the 2nd house.

I read somewhere that if you ask somebody what their sun sign is and they proudly say, "guess", then they're usually a scorp. So I don't understand the comments on this thread about Scorps not wanting to come forth. Hmm, that could be my sun in 1st house coming through though. If that's not bad enough, I have an Aries moon.

I love to watch, observe people. I always maintain eye contact and yes, I have that intense stare/gaze. Not many people can match it. They will look away and I will continue to stare. The other thing is that I blink a lot. My ex counted the number of blinks I did in a minute once. It was some ridiculous number. I don't even know I'm doing it.

I can change the purpose of my stare too. I can be intimidating, I can be inquisitive, I can be supportive, I can be sexy. I have grey/blue eyes and they can look straight through to your soul. I've been told that body language wise, I do the right "listening things". Like look at somebody as though I'm paying attention and tilting my head, with the occasional nod when it counts.

I think that my gaze also makes people feel as though they should tell me things. I get told a lot of secrets. Never tell any of my own, of course.

I am always looking at other people's eyes too. I watch which direction they go so I can figure out if they are telling the truth. Like, are they going to recall position, or are they going to make-up a story position. It's easy to test. Next time you're with someone, ask them a couple of questions that you know they know the answer to. Like, what colour is their car. Watch where their eyes go and that sets like a road map for their recall direction. It's usually upper left (for recall). Upper right for make-up. But you have to do the test with them first to be sure. Of course, you don't tell them you're doing the test.

If I'm interested romantically in someone, I will watch to see if their pupil's dilate. Then I know how interested they are in me.

Okay, now I may have just blurted out some top secret Scorp stuff but well, there were so many non-scorp people that posted in this thread, I thought they deserved some inside knowledge.

So we're not just staring, we're doing a whole heap of other things too.

cheers

Hi steelrose,
It sounds like the end of your reply was indirectly aimed towards me, and I'd like to say that I don't hide being a Scorpio. I don't think that's even a possibility with my chart.

I'm glad, Scorpbaby, because it would be a pity... I just love Scorpios doing their Scorpio thing... It's just fascinating.

It wasn't just meant to you... I have read several comments about how to disguise your intensity to make others more comfortable... I just wanted to stand for you lot, because I love the way you are...

In fact, I do the eye reading as well... I don't have that piercing stare as a Virgo, but I also enjoy soul analysis

I just read your reply too, SteelRose, thankyou too for the lovely things you've said about us Scorpios!!
But, you should know us Scorps (or at least me)- we like disguising, changing and hiding and playing around with our expressions and what people think when they see us so if you believe we should be ourselves...well!! We are!!
I dont agree that Piscean gazes are 'weak and superficial' I think thats a bit harsh because being compassionate or allowing yourself to be seen as vulnerable is not weak, fake or superficial. Its people who drown themselves in self pity and look sad just to get attention or love that I do NOT like...
Hope I havent upset or misinterpreted you by saying this, its just how I felt reading your post, that you may have misunderstood what I was trying to say.

Oh, and Scorpbaby- jinx lol!! Hey, do you think that maybe people *looks around suspiciously* are more psychic than we think... and can pick up how we're feeling too, just by looking at us... so that if we're feeling 'lovey dovey' they know and are nice!!! *Raises eyebrows* I think there must be more Scorpio influenced people than I realised around us!!!!

Hehe, I agree SunScorp!
And I was gonna mention the same thing you said about disguising our looks. It's so true that scorps do that. And I think a lot of the time it's not intentional, we just do it! Like we might appear to be cool and calm, when in fact, there's a raging storm inside or we could really just be calm. Then people really seem confused!
Maybe it's just my libra rising that makes me aspire to be more open/friendly, less intense maybe.
Around strangers and aqcuaintences I have a certain facade, I think that can probably apply to any of the signs. For me, I'm just being self-protective.
I'm just guarding myself from...I really dont know what (oh I'm a little paranoid sometimes too) haha

Oooh!! I completley know what u mean!! The facade, the inside storm, we should be actresses lolol!!
I have Libra (be nice to everyone) rising too!!! Lol!! Oh, and whats ur moon sign? Mines Gemini so that dosen't really help the changing aspect and indecision!!
Its like;
Me: Hmm, I love that guy on the TV, hes so funny and sarcastic..
*Thinks for a bit*
Me: BUT..he can also be really rude sometimes.. and bloody condescending!
*shakes head pityingly*
Me: But people are always different in real life, hes probably lovely!!!
Ahhh!!!

Yeah Sunscorp I always wanted to be an actress! lol
I can never really be happy with a decision either. The scales are always trying to balance just about everything.
I have my acendent, mars and venus libra. Then venus is in the 1st.
I find myself being nice to people I shouldn't be nice to, then I'm kicking myself for it later. But eventually if they keep being jerks, I will sting!
Oh and I have a Taurus moon. So food is the only thing I'm not indescisive about!

Hey everyone, Just wanted to say that I am not in touch with that Scorp stare thing. I am a Pisces and if someone stares to hard at me I began to feel uncomfortable. My boyfriend is kind of like that he can stare me down I mean look me dead in my eyes and not flinch. I find myself saying why are you looking at me like that. He is an Aquarius though. I avoid eye contact with guys I do not know(strangers on the street)I do not know it is weird. I a a very honest girl so that is not the problem, I think I am kind of shy.

Well hello to scorpbaby and Sunscorp. Um, I too have Libra rising and I am an Aries Moon. Isn't that weird? An Aries Moon, a Taurus Moon and a Gemini Moon. They all follow each other.

So, how come there's a Scorpio party and no one invited me? I promise, I will wear a blindfold so as not to offend anyone with my piercing eyeballs.

Hey pix, open party,byoe!!(bring your own eyes)

hehe what if you could really pierce someone with your eyeballs?! Like shoot out laser beams? Kinda like the guy from XMEN. I bet he was a Scorp. He always had to wear shades so his eyes didn't shoot beams at people. He's a nice guy though, too bad
I'm silly
