I am Scorpio and I have friend around me all the time but I really want to know what it takes to be a good Scorpion friend. If you are good friend of Scorpio, how do you deal them. I know Scorpio can be deep and it is tiring to feel all those emotions which you would rather not.

In general, what do you think of Scorpions as Friends? How much time do you see them, keep in touch or not?

I currently have an online friend and it is great that way! Since growth is inevitable. I am going through my Saturn Return in Scorpio it has made me very cautious to take on anything more than I can handle including any projects, people, relationships, etc.

However, I like Scorpios because they 'keep it real' so to speak. You never really have to guess where you stand with them. Either they love you or they hate you. I know some people think they are super secretive and are therefore not trustworthy, but if they know you and like you, they aren't. In fact, I've found that they are super loyal friends. Probably because they are fixed.

Sometimes they can come off as a bit heavy handed or self righteous. I know I have a couple of male Scorpio friends who like to give lots of advice in a "I know best" kind of way (even when they don't), and some people can't handle that. I just take what I need and let them talk when I don't need their advice. Probably 85% of the time their advice is correct... It's that 15% of the time that can be a problem. Normally they are incorrect that percentage of time only because they have a really hard time putting themselves in the other person's shoes. They can see how they would do things from where THEY stand, but they can't always turn it around to see how someone would have to deal with things from where that person stands instead. (Being able to do that well is a mutable thing to me anyway, so if they've got extra mutable they might do better).

Overall, I love my Scorpio friends. I rarely have to worry about them because they are good at handling themselves and they are very loyal.

There are bad apples everywhere...

I am just trying new things and I know it is getting to a point where it is getting scarier. Maybe it is telling me ok no more taking up frivolous things and I agree and I need to work on things which I had started in last 2 years and unless I be consistent. It would be very unlikely I would see any fruits of hard work. I do not have energy and it feels there is no time (Saturn again).

Your post made me think of another thing and that is if mutable are good at being other people's shoes how do they decide what is their identity or views? Most of the time I feel that they are more aware/confident of their identities.

I have lots of mutable planets and at times it is very easy for me to see somebody's point of view and get so easily persuaded, lost or derailed [ Just like this post is going ha ha ! ]then I have to pull myself back to revisit my own views. Do Mutable feel like that too ?

I am heavily mutable, and I would say that I've noticed that heavily mutable signs tend to put themselves in other people's shoes TO find out where they actually stand on things. So there's an irony to that in some ways... I tend to think that more immature mutable signs or mutable signs who really haven't made up their mind about their own identities yet tend to be easily swayed by others. They usually jump into other personas, situations, etc very easily because they want to learn more about that situation/persona. Sometimes this leads to them making a firmer decision about who THEY actually are, and sometimes this leads to them getting lost or blinded. People from other modalities can see this as disingenuous at times because they think that the mutable person is changing their mind or persona just to do it. Sometimes they ARE, but sometimes they do it because they want to see all sides of a situation. I feel that mutable signs are less afraid of looking like the bad guy or of doing what is right even when it's not popular because they've actually really tried diving in to different situations and have learned what it feels like to be unpopular or the bad guy, or have simply learned what it's like to be the minority or to be immersed in another culture. It's the gift of mutable signs. They are very good at playing the devil's advocate and using alternate lifestyles or views to 'play dress up' so to speak. However, sometimes we're just playing to see what it's like. Other times, we find in our playing that it's actually a positive way for us to be, and so we adopt it as our own (and vice versa). THAT'S what makes some mutables so confident in their approach to life. They've tried it. They've been there. In the least, they've tried to dissect what it would be like to be fully immersed in that situation.

I once read in an astrology book about modalities that Fixed signs are all about 'Beauty,' and Mutable signs are all about 'Good and Evil' (I don't remember what Cardinal signs are about). Specifically, Mutables are about discovering the grey areas between 'good and evil' so they can better define their own sense of self.

I'm not sure if that answered your question or not, but I hope it did.

My best friend from 10-15 was a Scorpio, but she was born only a few days later than me so perhaps that facilitated that. (I'm actually born on the Scorpio cusp myself, too, with Mercury and I think another planet of mine on the cusp along with my sun. I've got Jupiter in Scorpio as well.)

My mom, however, was a Scorpio and we didn't get along too well...though I actually see that as a mix of other astrological aspects that didn't mix well with her Scorpio sun (at least not when it came to my chart). When I visited her about 2 years ago she was distant to me but we got along better than usual. And when I took over some pot brownies a cousin gave me begging me for an opinion I offered them to her in exchange for her AC for a few hours (this was one of the hottest Texas summers on record) and she eagerly embraced that deal and added in some peach brandy to boot and we laughed so hard with each other. But once she sobered up she went back to being distant with me (and I couldn't help but notice in retrospect that neither of us talked of the past).

Feel free to list your negative experience as well if relationship failed and you ended up enemies but do it constructively and responsibly.

I usually get along well with Scorpios. The ones who are terrible quickly learn to not mess with me. The good ones are so incredibly sweet, generous, honest and loyal. Loyalty is very important to me, so the fact that I know I can trust them and that they have my back is huge in my book.

My Scorpio friends are not drama queens, which I like. They're very straightforward and are not clingy. I like that they are independent; they only ask for help when they truly need it and don't expect to be babied.

I guess it depends on how their Scorpio is placed and aspected. I've know wonderful, warm and loving Scorpios and I've met Scorpio's that would stab their own mothers in the back. Needless to say they have strong feelings either way.
