* Which symbol(s) have you seen/experienced in other Scorpios such as your spouse, friends, collegues, date, significant other, high school love, etc.?
* As a Scorpio Sun Sign, which symbols have you experienced yourself?
* Why is Dove associated with Scorpio? Have you ever seen a Dove Scorpio?

The lizard represents the class of scorpions who hide from life and never quite achieve the full measure of their power. They sometimes seek self-destructive outlets such as drugs or even criminal activities to satisfy their obsessive nature.

The Scorpion symbolises a hotheaded warrior who is violently passionate, bluntly sarcastic, egotistical, controlling and manipulative.

The soaring Eagle represents the calm but intense, focused, determined, intuitive and perceptive Scorpio who often developed healing, clairvoyant and counselling abilities.

The Phoenix is the confident, courageous, positive transformer that transcends personal ego.

Accordingly Scorpio has further correlations to higher wisdom in the symbol of the Dove. The Scorpio/Dove is seen to have transcended all personal and egocentric desires. He seeks to absorb pain and sorrow from others and replace them with Universal love. Dove is a tranquil, docile creature, well recognised as a bringer of peace.

Dragon To summarize, the three forms of Scorpio represent the three expressions of Love: the Scorpion symbolizes unexpressed Love, the Serpent is the physical expression of Love, and the Eagle is the etheric or energetic expression of Love. In Liber Aleph, Crowley reveals a fourth form of Scorpio, the Dragon, which replaces the Eagle:

“Our Dragon, therefore, combining the Natures of the Eagle and the Serpent, is our Love, the Organon of our Will, by whose Virtue we perform the Work and Miracle of the One Substance, as saith thine Ancestor Hermes Trismegistus, in his Tablet of Smaragda. And this Dragon is called thy Silence, because in the Hour of his Operation that within thee which saith ‘I’ is abolished in Conjunction with the Beloved.”10

The Dragon is a winged serpent, a composite symbol of the physical and etheric expressions of Love. The precedent for this synthesis of the physical and spiritual is given in the first verse of Emerald Tablet of Hermes:

“It is true and no lie, certain, and to be depended upon, that the superior agrees with the inferior, and the inferior with the superior, to effect that one truly wonderful work.”11

By changing the kerubic symbol, Crowley has changed the principal expression of Love from a spiritual bias to a synthesis and balance of its spiritual and physical expressions. Like the Son of the Tetragrammaton, the Dragon is the product and the union of the natures of both its parents, the feminine Eagle and the masculine Serpent. Thus is the Dragon the new and complete symbol of Kerubic Scorpio in the Aeon of Horus.

Owl The wise, watchful, and silent owl is associated with the night, the moon, and the dark mysteries of life. Another Scorpio ruled aviator, the owl’s incredible sense of sight and hearing makes it a hunter like no other – silently able to swoop down and catch its prey completely off guard. The Owl is a great totem to have around when exploring the deeper realms of the subconscious or studying ancient wisdom such as that of astrology or kabbalah. It can help one be silent, watchful, precise, wise, and powerful.

Nietzsche's alter-ego, Zarathustra, had a serpent and eagle for companions.
Nietzsche had Sun opposition Pluto, and Scorpio on the Ascendant.

I think most Scorpios can recognize themselves in all of these descriptions.
That is part of the beauty and mystery of the sign; that is contains so much;
that it encompasses both the darkest and the lightest aspects of our being.

If you are not a full-blooded Plutonian, please, dont even think of passing judgment;
you can't begin to have the slightest idea what it means to harbor energies like this.

Also, those of you who think it all comes down to choice, --
you have no concept of what the outer planets signify;
their nature transcends and befuddles ordinary consciousness,
and Pluto, in particular, is concerned with compulsion and the sacrifice of control.

Judgement is the antithesis of understanding.

Thus Spoke HSC.

I certainly have sacrificed much in my life, but the energy I am refering to is the constant "challenges" I am faced with, the death of the old and the birth of the new.

I think my Pisces sun, overlayed with the Scorp asc has nothing to do with sacrifices. I learned many years ago about the martyr.

However, my soft, gentle, Pisces sun, is not to be reckoned with, when I am very angry, I can sting as efficiently as any Scorp sun.

Unfortunately i know alot of lizards! most of them are scorps who grew up in families where their true personality was not encouraged.

Yeah? Oh yeah? Well rub it in why don't you?
Try being the only sun sign without an animal or a person to identify with and see how THAT feels. Ooh, how am I feeling today? Oh yeah.... like a fricking pair of scales. That REALLY accurately describes how I'm feeling. Not.
