Ive heard this said lots of times, and I have heard Scorpios say its no fun being born under this sign. Ive heard others say "lighten up" often enough to Scorps too!!

I am intrigued because although I am very intense, passionate and emotional, I have a wicked sense of humour. Very often during a healing session, the healer has said to me "your energy is very light and playful"....

What aspsects and traits astrologically, speaking, would make the difference between a serious Plutonian and a
lighter one....

Thanks...

Lady scorps are more fun, and easy to get along with. Rarely meet one that’s serious all the time - I‘d check out the Moon, or heavily aspected Saturn. The guys…I’m not even gonna start

My mum is a sco and she drives me nuts with her intensity, emotionality and suspiciousness but I love her - I'm a squaring aqua. But yes she is very humourous and I believe that is where I get my sense of humour comes from. However she can be very serious too.

Hey Sue m'darlin!
I hope you are well today! I too have three planets in scorpio (sun, venus and jupiter) and I have a very playful and silly (but also sarcastic and dry on occasion) sense of humour.
I LOVE to laugh, laugh lots and lots. But I do have my mercury in saggy in the fifth house. Also ALL my scorpio planets are in the playful and fun fifth house.
Don't get me wrong, that scorpio influence is there....I can be very bitingly sarcastic... but oh, I love to have fun, be silly, playful and utterly foolish!!!!

I agree the men can be a tad "heavy" at times cant they? Although having said that, one of the most cheerful males I know here in Ireland, has Scorp/Scorp/Pisces and he is very light (Irish men often are tho)!!!

I must say that her humour can be just plain humourous (I don't know when she was born so I can't even tell you what planets she has in her chart apart from being a sco) and at other times she can be scathing and cutting and very funny.

Well I spoke to lots of people who have had Scorp mums who have found them very challenging...I think once we are aware of our faults, we are one of the best signs to try and heal them...

It may be a lot to do with our extremes....lots of intensity, emotion, etc, can be hard to live with, dont you think? The worst case scenario I heard of lately was a Pisces man who had a Scorp mum...she drank a lot, was totally in denial of her faults and then proceeded to take all her anger and inadequacies out on him. She would say to him "i love you" then followed by an insult...uuugghhh.....poor bloke. And she gives his girl (my sister in law) hell...horrible dynamic going on there. She probably represents all the darker sides of Pluto...jealousy, resentment, possessiveness etc..

I suppose one of the keys is listening to our kids. This particular guy said to me "I can be more open with you, than I can be with my mum" I replied...'yes but I aint yer mum, that is the difference". He then said "you seem to recognise your shortcomings and try to heal them, THAT is the difference. He explained she was domineering and bossy and consequently he has gone from woman to woman, and doesnt seem to be able to have a permanent relationship...

Oh dear, there is nothing worse than seeing a son domineered by his mother...I see hundreds of them here in Ireland...such a shame....such a waste that they may never be able to find love, because of their fear.

OOooops sorry, didnt mean to go off on one!!!

Ok daaaarlings rant over...

My boyfriend is scorpio/pisces moon and he can be very light. Or maybe thats the saggy stellium....but he's not shallow by any means. Nor is he a push over (duh, he is a scorpio)

I have Sun,Mercury,and Venus in Scorpio,and I am very serious but I can be silly at times. I think that it's my very strong Saturn influence that has to do with my seriousness.
I think that my silliness/lighthardedness is from my Jupiter in Sagittarius in 3rd conjunct IC in Sagittarius as well as my Moon square Jupiter,Jupiter square Ascendant. I also have strong Jupiter midpoint configurations including Jupiter conjunct Moon/Ascendant midpoint with 2 minutes of arc and Venus conjunct Sun/Jupiter with 1 minute of arc. I also have Sun parallel Jupiter/Uranus midpoint with 1 minute of arc.
I have Sun conj Jupiter/Pluto midpoint with 46 minutes of arc.

My Mom was a domineering,abusive(physical,verbal) that,but she a Gemini with Scorpio Moon square Pluto. Her Scorpio Moon conjuncts my Mercury-Venus conjunction in Scorpio. Her Saturn in Scorpio conjuncts my Sun om Scorpio.

My girlfriend is Aries(Sun,Mercury,Mars)with Scorpio Moon-Saturn conjunction that conjuncts dispositor Pluto in Libra,and she's very good for me. Her Moon-Saturn conjunction conjuncts my Sun in Scorpio. She's serious,and she's mature for her age.


I think that it has to do with my mom having too much water,and so she tends to overreact and get upset easily and so is often irrational and irritable. She's quite moody..the more upset she gets,the harder it is to reason with her.

The last para of Glaucus' last post is very applicable to my mum. I think she would have a lot of water in her. As much as I love my mum, I feel I have never understood her completely, nor she me.

I am almost all air with a bit of fire and my father is almost all fire with some air. My dad and I have felt our ego/self/emotions (the little bit that I have) crushed to an inch of death at times because of the overbearing nature.

Another thing I have noticed is that she will take credit for all of my successes saying that she created all those successes regardless of the hard slog that I undertook. Not sure if this is a sco thing - please let me know either eay.

Still I love her.

Aaah the wonders of being one month late and via caesarean!

If it's something I'm serious about, I'm very serious.

Over reacting... eeesshhh... yep.

I am moody... but I'm also thankful for having a Taurus mother who guided me and helped me understand early on that my moods are "my" moods.

If I'm not in a pleasant one, stay away from others until I can be a little more approachable.

She also helped me realize that I should try not to approach a delicate sitauation with a hot head... think things through... and don't be so quick to react to my "gut" feeling.

When clear thinking is needed... it's best to approach it with a clear head and not a perception clouded over with extreme emotions.

I have to say, this has always served in my best interest.

So... I am very grateful for ways that she has helped me in dealing with my emotions... helping to prevent me from beating myself up with regret... due to over reacting or taking things out on others.

Other than that... I like to over react.

When properly focused my over-reacting makes people laugh and/or feel important.

How many times did I type the word over-reacting.

23: Awww. I have an Aqua daughter. I've noticed that I have to do my best not to over react (getting all carried away with my emotions) with her (unless it's something good). I think I do a pretty good job of it... but it is something I have to try my best at. She's not so good at handling strictly emotions... it seems to confuse her.

Sometimes when I'm all excited about something... she thinks I'm upset with her... then I have to assure her that it's not her... it's the situation (usually I'm not "really" upset at all... just yes, over reacting).

As for your mother taking credit for your work. I think that may be more of an individual thing as opposed to a Scorpio thing.

I have 4 Scorpios in my life... none hardly even take credit for what "they" do, let alone what someone else does.

Have you tried to talk with her about some of the things she does that you don't understand?

I think that communication is very important... especially if someone has taken me a different way than what I intended. It helps clear the air... I think that if I just explain myself a little more... others will know not to always take me so serious.

But at the end of the day... I'm responsible for how I react... I'm responsible when an over reaction has caused hurt/bad feelings to others. So it's simple..... swallow the ego and apologize.

My Aqua daughter now rolls her eyes and looks at me like I'm nuts. Which seems to ground me at times... strange how a child can make an adult feel silly.

I think heavy scorpios are the ones with strong 8 house. Being planets in scorpio or not, as long as they are in the 8 house.
They are leaning on some intense dark sides of life that others have no idea of.
Strong karma and a long way to go..

Light ones might be aspects to libra and sag and jupiter in the 1st, 11 or 5th house.

As for intensity and scorpios,
I think scorpios in real life are not usually so intense because they hide it well and are afraid to expose.

As for cancers on the other hand, if you have an aries or leo ascendant, lol,
I cant breathe around those people.
So clingy and always calling you having control over what you are doing and where you are.
Not so much mind games like a scorpio,
but more like in your face.

I have my moon, venus, & pluto in Scorpio...and they're all conjunct each other. I wouldn't say I'm very serious, I'm always laughing about something... but then again, I have all those planets in my 11th house.

My BF has Scorpio rising & mars, with pluto conjunct his ASC, and he came off as a very serious person at first... until I got to know him.

Hi -

I can definitely have my very serious moments. Especially when I am focused on accomplishing a goal/task-at-hand and do not want any distractions.
However, I can also be very light, upbeat, talkative, friendly - 'engaged' with others in my surroundings.

I do know that I have been told I'm a serious person but also that I have a great sense of humor. Also have been told I'm an 'old-soul.'

I do know that when I have been told that I'm serious, I think of the source telling me that this person simply does not understand the situation or the gravity of the situation - and the focus it requires.

The only other type of Sun Sign/influence I have personally come cross who is similar to me in that aspect and seems to understand where I'm coming from are my Capricorn influenced friends. I get a lot of work done with them and we can stay on goals together for hours.

I have Sun, Venus, Uranus in Scorpio

I also have a Scorpio stellium & a Sagittarius stellium. I have googled stelliums much and still don't really know what to think of them. I have tons of Sag friends as well as Leos -
Am an Aqua rising and I have my moments when I fit that indeed!

As far as Scorpio Mothers - My own Mom has a Scorpio MOON and she can fit a Scorpio Moon description to a T at times quite well!
However, she's a Sag Sun so I really don't know much about that - maybe I'll find out about that on my own one day

I read a remark about intensity. Here is my take on it.

I don't think that intensity is something that you can necessarily see. I believe that it's something that tends to be quite hidden. I believe that intensity can be more about a deep inner strength. It could be like emotions that boil beneath the surface or lava buildup before the volcano erupts. Or even sexual body fluids that build up during sexual intercourse. That's how I picture intensity.

People can't see my intensity,and I am very intense person with my Virgo Ascendant and my Pluto in 1st which not near my ascendant. I do have 1st house ruler,Mercury in Scorpio in 3rd. I think my intensity in communications shows a lot and even gets misunderstood. I believe that intensity can can be psychic subterranean depths. This would seem like Pluto,Scorpio,as well as the kuiper belt objects(especially the plutinos).

intense

1. Strained; tightly drawn; kept on the stretch; strict; very close or earnest; as, intense study or application; intense thought.
2. Extreme in degree; excessive; immoderate; as: (a) Ardent; fervent; as, intense heat. (b) Keen; biting; as, intense cold. (c) Vehement; earnest; exceedingly strong; as, intense passion or hate. (d) Very severe; violent; as, intense pain or anguish. (e) Deep; strong; brilliant; as, intense color or light. http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Intense


Here is stuff about scorpions.

Unless provoked, scorpions are generally harmless and timid and use their sting only for killing prey. Generally, they will run from danger or remain very still. Also in some species, it has been recorded that the sting can kill a human if they suffer from an allergy to it. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scorpion

That's true for me. I am generally a harmless and timid person,but I will defend myself and attack if provoked....this could be just verbally too....somebody says something mean,I will attack with some words...it can just be a retort,rebuttal...sassing back. I can say some cutting remarks. I also can be very sarcastic.
That's my Mercury conj Venus in Scorpio in 3rd. Physically, I am nobody to mess with either..my Sun-True Black Moon Lilith-Ixion conjunction(all less than half a degree orb) with dispositor Pluto in 1st. I will not only defend myself when physically attacked,but I will fight like I am fighting to kill.
Just think of a demonic archetype coming out of my collective unconscious and into my consciousness. I do have Sun conj true Black Moon Lilith(osculating lunar apogee) which is astrological Lilith archetype. She is a demoness in mythology. Druj was her Persian counterpart. The Russian astrologers see osculating lunar apogee as Druj.

Hey fellow Scorpio here and I must say... I'm only serious about certain things... like.... money, relationships, my job and career.... Beyond that, I'm pretty light hearted... I love to laugh and joke around, especially if I feel someone is in desperate need of a laugh... Though I have a very dry humor I laugh at just about anything... Honestly, I also have a tendency to laugh at the most inopportune times.... lol but thats just me, i could be wrong... lol TTFN

Very interesting, Glaucus
I have Mercury in Scorpio, so I can relate to being harmless unless provoked...although aren't Scorpios (only generally speaking, from Sun sign astro books) more inclined to calculation, manipulation and plotting? So maybe not so harmless?

I don't know...once again this seems like pidgeonholing people.
Just because someone can be serious, doesn't mean they can't also be light and funny too.

I probably project myself more seriously on forums, because I'm interested in deep topics, so place more of my focus on them here. Maybe because being Fire, I'm more apt to express fun in action, rather than communicate it in word.
I express more aspects of my personality in my encounters in life.

Is there something wrong with seriousness?
I admire it. It implies that they think about more than just superficialities.
I get turned off by people when I think they're trying to entertain me or something.
Or someone who seems "on" all the time.
I'm more inclined to wonder if they are being their true selves with me, only because I believe people are many faceted, so I wonder why they're only choosing to project certain traits to me, moreso than others.

And yes Scorpios can be the worst for plotting and scheming...and Mercury in Scorpio (which I have too) can be deadly when crossed.... OUCH.....!!!!

1scorp - Thanks for your reply

I have tried many times talking but it doesn't help. I just accept that as a part of her personality. Its a lot better now though, I have left the nest and now I don't mind seeing her as long as I have space away. I suppose I just became hypervigilant about my boundaries when I was at home as well and shut her out of my life a lot because I couldn't deal with the constant grinding and emotionality.
