After observing here for a while, as well as what I have read about on other sites, it seems to me that Scorpio is the sign that often gets talked about the most. For better or for worse, people seem to be fascinated by this sign (and any of its possible placements).What I want to ask everyone is: What is so fascinating about scorpio placements to you? What is it about it that you find so intriguing? This is of course, dependent upon if you find the sign interesting in the first place. I am willing to bet most on here though will feel this way. Discuss. More or less I am just collecting data here (what else is new). ------------------ It's All Elemental ----- My Chart if relevant IP: Logged |

i guess its just because they are the hardest to read, you know. you cant take anything at face value, there's always something more underneath. IP: Logged |

I've noticed this as well.For me - it's not so much that I find Scorpio placements intriguing. I just feel really comfortable and close to them so I like them a lot. My SN is in Scorp conj Pluto.. so I guess the energy just feels familiar. IP: Logged |

The hardest to read for me is Pisces.. because there are too many layers.. and my Pisces Mercury has to work over time to see all of them. IP: Logged |

Scorpios go to extremes, and are very powerful--in either direction, not just evil. I remember one Scorpio that I knew who just had this air of holiness around her (and, indeed, she was a very spiritual person who wanted to be a nun, but was denied because she tried to enter that life at a very young age--had she been older, to my understanding, they would have accepted her). One of my favorite theologians is a Scorpio, come to think of it. I also know two other Scorpios who also have that air about them of powerful goodness. And, on the other hand, I've known some very bad Scorpios too. Scorpios, whether you like them or not, or get along with them or not, are often unforgettable. Scorpio-influenced musicians have powerful lyrics that I really love. I'm a Venus and Pluto Scorpio, though I'm a sun sign Libra. I appreciate the Scorpio placements that I have, even when the intensity can be tough. I'm definitely a Libra 100%, and I do feel very Libra, but I like the potential for depth, intuition, and spirituality that Scorpio offers. (Scorpio is my 12th house). It's the power and the mystery, for me, as well as the spiritual. A LOT of Scorpios that I've known have been highly intuitive, some to the point of being unsettling, not always in a bad way. For others, Scorpio is sexy and dangerous.

There are good and bad people in every sign. Some people can deal with Scorpios and others are petrified. I personally find the "intensity" a whole bunch of nonsense. I suppose its my Earth sign speaking through. The last Scorpion girl who "stared" me down got a earful from me lol Stares don't "sting." Words and actions do. I found my match in the fiery Leo haha IP: Logged |

My NN is Scorpio, so I have to be a fan. I interact with the three decans differently. The first I tend to love for its intensity...but they can be so snappy. The second is the most intriguing to me, but I feel like I am falling down a rabbit hole talking to these people. The third is where my NN is, and this is the one whose style I really am mesmerized by. I'm thinking about Joni Mitchell (a 3rd decan Scorpio) singing "A Case of You" and how Plutonian, deep, and beautiful that is. I remember that time you told me you said "Love is touching souls" Surely you touched mine 'Cause part of you pours out of me In these lines from time to time Oh, you're in my blood like holy wine You taste so bitter and so sweet Oh I could drink a case of you darling And I would still be on my feet I would still be on my feet... http://jonimitchell.com/music/song.cfm?id=181 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6voJjexENok IP: Logged |

Also familiar enough with my own scorp-moon energy to call them fascinating. But I consider confidentiality to be the most valued trait anyone can have, and well THAT'S def. Scorp. Also their (with some) 'familiarity' with the suffering of life but well he'll never beat Pisces with that and (so) the latter would be the most intriguing sign to me.IP: Logged |

So that what u mean by power.. I've always wondered y they were known for that. Sure bill gates is one but not that much that wield actual power. Scorcesse is 1 example but he's no Spielberg in his industry. IP: Logged |

I think Scorpio gets a lot of air time because it connects to the primal essence of life. Taurus takes spirit and learns to appreciate it in a material sense. Scorpio takes matter and learns to appreciate it in a spiritual sense. Scorpio is the primordial "wh*?" of reality which is capable of exploring the non-physical quality of life. In this way it hangs out in places which are hidden to the casual world and acts as a bit of an ambassador between realms. I think we want to know about Scorpio, because it is in Scorpio's essential nature to "want to know about Scorpio". It is a magnetic pull inward which radiates from the core of the archetype. Part of Scorpio's unique energy is naturally mysterious and leads to hidden treasure (spiritual wisdom). As Scorpio walks down the street, he constantly ponders "Who am I really?" and that energy is so strong it radiates. Those who pass by become caught in the current, turn to look, and ask their self, "Who is that?". Scorpio rules sex, taxes, and death (all the things which rule our psychological structures and determine the success of our species)... What else is there to talk about? LOL Stated in less floofy terms: I think we discuss Scorpio a lot because we are good little sheep... baaa =) IP: Logged |

I think it probably has something to do with all the mysteriousness and dark glamour that is associated with Scorpio. And not in the wishy-washy, lost and victimized way of Pisces… Scorpio knows what it is doing, it’s the hunter in that darkness, it has strength and confidence, or at least knows how to appear that way if necessary- and that’s sexy. It knows something you don’t, and could either use that against you or to win you as a prize, and only they know which. Its insight into the hidden and taboo areas of life, and accompanying power is intriguing and alluring. I noticed all the attention and hype Scorpio gets too, and when I first become interested in astrology I have to be honest, I was somewhat disappointed that my only Scorpio placement was Pluto. But I think these are just the representations of Scorpio, and like all other signs and people, they come in many variations and these traits can manifest in numerous ways. As a side tangent, my moon sign according to Vedic astrology is Scorpio, and really, the depictions of it there are nothing to be jealous of lol. Bottom line I think people are intrigued by the power Scorpio is said to have, whether they believe that makes them somewhat evil or just deep and mysterious.

Scorpio people are good and interesting but not in that exaggerated way. Maybe because of the stereotypical thoughts that are always said about them ... to me they are not that mysterious or unreadable ... they just want to exude that image of power and mystery to cover their sensitive core.The ONLY unreadable person I have ever encountered was a Pisces, and his mystery was exuding within himself and was not a cover that he wears like other Scorpios. and to me, am not fascinated with Scorpios ... if I'm to write a book and talk for years about a sign it would be Aquarius ... am a huge fan of Aqua, and they always fascinate me

My interest in Scorpios is purely selfish (I AM an Aries, right?). I married a Scorpio and he is phenomenal so that's where my interest comes from

I've had a few scorpio crushes, and unfortunately i never had the chance to get to know them in a more personal level, but what makes them intriguing for me is the vibe that they exude. Most of them are quiet and mysterious. Makes you want to uncover their real personality behind that emotionless facade. Haven't you noticed that they're poker-faced most of the time? I haven't seen a zodiac sign that exudes that kind of aura except for scorpios. I also read that they're very discriminating in choosing who they associate with, so if you earn their trust, you should consider yourself lucky, since you'll have their back during hard times.IP: Logged |

I havent had a romantic relationship with a scorpio sun or moon and I have moon saturn and mars in scorpio. There is a strange feeling of mutual respect when I see a scorpio and some of my friends are scorpios but I dont get too close to them, one of them misuse her scorpio energy and that really ****** me off. The thing is I let her do her thing, because I know that it will come rigth back at her. Last time she got hit hard and she actually blamed me for not stopping her. I am a scorpio in a more secretive, laid back and introvert way, and I really dont like scorpios that cant handle their energies in a mature way. But I do like my stair, I dont have to yell or tell people to back off, they just do IP: Logged |

I'm not sure that there is necessarily a astrological web obsession with Scorpios. Lol. I find more articles and forum discussions about Libra's then Scorpio's but maybe it's where I'm searching or how I'm searching. I don't see any more information on the web on Scorpio frankly then any other sign. I find a lot of discussions about many signs. I know Mars in Scorpio is a hot topic on the web but so are other Mars placements. Who knows. The only reason I give a hoot about anything related to Pluto is because of the Plutonian energy in my chart. I honestly wouldn't care too much about any Scorpio placements if I didn't have that energy. Yet I have a bit of everything in my chart and it seems I research everything not any one placement or sign in particular. So why Scorpio? Why any sign? If it's what resonants with you then why not research and discuss it. IP: Logged |
