Hi I was just wondering if anyone ever had any thoughts on this? I have a lot of Scorpio in me & I have Borderline Personality Disorder and I've been in DBT for nearly a year. I was wondering if BPD might be closely related to someone having Scorpio in their moon or ascendant.Here's some info on BPD: http://voices.yahoo.com/how-spot-girl-borderline-personality-disorder-1434611.html IP: Logged |

This was so me in my teens and 20's, luckily ive outgrown 75% of it. I have a stellium in scorpio, moon in 8th, and sun conjunct pluto 0*. I always thought that BPD was a scorpio/pluto thing too.IP: Logged |

yeah I have noticed that Scorpios are prone to abusive behavior, but did not associate it with one specific mental illness. the first half sounds like my natural tendencies but the bottom half is extremeIP: Logged |

Yes, absolutely. I don't have it (I don't think) but I was close, some time ago. I had all the symptoms and was even diagnosed with a personality disorder (not specified). I eventually realized that labels are just that, labels. I am more than a mental illness and I believe that I *can* grow and evolve. (How Scorpio, isn't it?)Anyway, uncontrollable emotions and self-destructive tendencies are definitely quite Plutonian in nature, so the connection doesn't suprise me in the least. IP: Logged |

That article didn't describe BPD. Not unless it counts in pop psychology. THIS is BPD: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Borderline_personality_disorder#Diagnostic_and_Stat istical_Manual And as for Scorpios I've known good and bad. That article didn't describe my mom who is one of the most mentally unbalanced (but still functional) Scorpios I've known. Actually, she WAS molested, but I didn't learn that from her (she's such a secretive Scorpio), I learned that from her mom and it's why my mom hates her mom for letting it happen, and given how much bitterness Mom has at Granny for living where it happened I know she's right on why Mom hates her (not that Granny knew about it until it was too late). So if she wouldn't even tell me much about her childhood even when I asked or it was relevant then I'm sure she didn't tell people on dates. And I can't recall ever seeing her cry even crocodile tears, let alone sobbing, not even when plastered. And I'll give Mom one thing, she's not clingy (if she ever is then she wants something from you other than companionship). And as for the REAL criterion of BPD (as opposed to that Yahoo article) she didn't even fit one criterion (she was an alcoholic, but she'd need another self-destructive obsession for it to count). Rather, she was much closer to being a narcissist. One day I plan to get her natal chart and I'm betting she has a lot of Leo placements, though she's very Scorpio. But I don't blame her sun sign for her narcissism. In contrast a good friend I used to have back when I was a neopagan was a classic Scorpio in the positive sense (she even did autopsies!). She was one of the most mentally stable people I've ever known in my life and I believe any man she loved would be extremely fortunate for it. I'd feel sorry for the man who jerked her around, though (actually, no I wouldn't, I liked her so much that I'd fully support her in dealing with such a jerk). IP: Logged |

The Scorp I knew had Pluto in Leo. Pluto in Leo as ASC ruler/Sun dispositor at the MC. Don't be jealous cos you couldn't get close to that mess. If we're going just based off Sun, the dispositor matters.IP: Logged |

that article reminded me soo much of this girl i used to be best friends with. she was a scorpio and she treated both me AND her now ex like that! i kinda notice it in some of my other scorp friends too. just an observation but i noticed it shows up alot in sun scorp, moon pisces, mars scorp combos.
