I'm curious to know How this makes another person feel when you're with them. I know how it feels to live it so I understand why we may seem secretive. Maybe it's a blind spot for me so I would really appreciate hearing any thoughts from a different perspective. IP: Logged |

If you're just talking about being secretive... yes, I find that sometimes you guys can reach a ridiculous extent. The meeting date is secret. The attendance is secret. The travel date is secret.It can be very frustrating. IP: Logged |

From my point of view, people in general are frightened of the intensity of Scorpio. And when Scorpio is silent, people always think that Scorpio has bad intentions or is a bad person. IP: Logged |

i like scorpio/pluto heavy people, i think they can be a little ridiculously obsessive and **** sometimes but i find it all endearing and occasionally amusing for the most parti could do without some of their **** when it's directed at me, but i guess you can't really have any of the highs without the lows when it comes to them so it's to be expected also really enjoy the dark sense of humor a lot of them have IP: Logged |

Unless one has met an "Ultra Scorpio" with for ex all personal planets in scorpio 8th house etc, this question can not be answered in a correct or satisfying way.Ponder on it for a second, a gemini-aries-leo themed scorpio person will be more different then a scorpio-saturnian-cancer person etc. A 8th house gemini stellium person will be more different then an aries 8th house stellium. A scorpio sun conjunct pluto will be a different story then sun in scorpio but not conjunct pluto etc. In short, the pluto energy will manifest differently from one person from the other. I have twin brothers who have pluto in sagg opposite theri gemini suns. The scorpio energy manifests differently in both, and they are twins. With that said, I enjoy scorpio intensity in people who are balanced and does have the "bad sides" of the energy under control.
Those with the bad sides overwhelming their persona is hard to handle and stand. Scorpio/plutonians who are secretive and controlling of course one can't stand. Scorpio/plutonics who for ex love without suffocating the loved one is of course a nice energy etc but I may be biased since I myself am plutonian.

Thank you all I find this so interesting but it still baffles me. I have Ascent, Sun, Moon, Mercury & Neptune in Scorpio. People tend to describe me as happy & optimistic so I don't feel I present dark, even tho I know the dark. I don't think other signs realize that we try to hide that dark just so we don't scare the #@$% out of you! IP: Logged |

Thank you all but even hearing these replies it still baffles me. I have Ascent, Sun, Moon, Mercury & Neptune in Scorpio, so that's 1st house and pretty heavy Pluto influence. People tend to describe me as 'happy & optimistic'. But I know the dark you all speak about; we try to hide that from others because if you knew just how deep into that darkness we can go (on any topic) it would scare the $#@% out of you and you!

it depends if its evolved scorpio energy or not. but most of the time it wouldn't be in my experience. its too emotional to me. many scorpios are too obsessive and take everything too personal. they cant let go and they like hurting other people because of their own insecurities.IP: Logged |

I sincerely do understand what you're saying and what has been echoed here quite a bit. And I appreciate the responses! I feel like my Scorpio is more evolved, at least most of the time-I've been trying to evolve. It's painful even for a Scorpio to manage our emotions & the range it covers! IP: Logged |

I particularly like those who can appreciate my dark sense of humor! Can't help but smugly feel like they are more intelligent than others. But what do you mean by their energy directed at you???IP: Logged |

I love the dark sense of humour of Scorpio! I know one guy with about 6 planets in Scorpio, he's focussed, intelligent and accomplished. He does have the whole thing of once crossed, never go back but he's generally affable (I don't know the time of birth for the houses).Scorpio at its worst is the grudge holding and need to stay in the place of anger and hurt. The higher octave is about letting go of the past but the worst of Scorpio is when they don't/won't/can't. The best is the honesty, loyalty to those who value them, natural intelligence and great sense of humour. When a Scorpio is brooding the whole room can be in shadow. The feeling to 'stay away' is profound, even if the Scorpio wishes to be approached...you don't approach a scorpion when it looks like it's about to shoot venom? When a Scorpio holds a grudge there is no point talking to them about it. If you appease they get defensive, if you oppose you will be attacked, if you reason, you will be shut down. That's how that feels. It's not worth pursuing. If you're close and get on the wrong side it's like a laser through your heart. A Scorpio (strong Pluto native) knows the weak spots of everybody and can detonate you in minutes. To be close to a Scorpio you need to have a sense of self strong enough to deal with hearing your worst traits thrown back in your face. If you take the easy route you'll just wear armour, if you can't handle the truth then you will become embittered. I hope that helps. My sis is a Scorpio and so I know her psyche well as we're very close ;-) ------------------ You can now book readings about twin flame relationships from me, as well as natal reports: https://www.etsy.com/shop/Waxyjo How will February be for us all?

well i'm brilliant so that's true i think it's funny that more people don't though, i think scorpio heavy/pluto heavy people have some of the best senses of humor they tend to be so observant and such deep thinkers who are unafraid to go to dark places that it's refreshing and i like how insightful they usually are i don't care for ******* people off with that placement which can happen when you get close to them, because they're emotional and obsessive etc when they lash out they usually do it in this over the top way and it's not something i particularly like i think they're worth that risk but it can be a bit like putting your hand into a pot of boiling water sometimes and that's not exactly the most enjoyable thing in the world (i speak from experience too, my scorpio/pluto heavy fiancee said i wouldn't do that when i was joking about it so i did...showed her lol) their lows can be really low and that's hard to deal with when they're lashing out or even if it's just watching someone you care about self destruct even with that though they're some of my favorite people, i actually don't think i've ever really deeply enjoyed someone who didn't have scorpio/pluto energy in some capacity in their chart the issue i think most people have with them is that you have to be able to accept the good with the bad and they're both usually extremes, but that sort of thing keeps it interesting so it's cool IP: Logged |

I get this & but wasn't quite aware how palpable that energy could feel to others. Sometimes I 'just don't care' and 'let it go. I'll be more careful. Frankly, I'd like to have more air in my chart, I have Libra in Venus but too much 'Air' can feel shallow or fragmented to me. Strange I know. You've been very helpful & generous with this information. Thank you! IP: Logged |

Unfortunately, this can mean staying in a bad relationship for far longer than we should. Guilty there. Now I'd like to find a healthy relationship. So thank you in helping me see that not everyone holds disdain for us Scorpios. We really are lovers not fighters i don't care for ******* people off with that placement which can happen when you get close to them, because they're emotional and obsessive etc when they lash out they usually do it in this over the top way and it's not something i particularly like i think they're worth that risk but it can be a bit like putting your hand into a pot of boiling water sometimes and that's not exactly the most enjoyable thing in the world (i speak from experience too, my scorpio/pluto heavy fiancee said i wouldn't do that when i was joking about it so i did...showed her lol) their lows can be really low and that's hard to deal with when they're lashing out or even if it's just watching someone you care about self destruct even with that though they're some of my favorite people, i actually don't think i've ever really deeply enjoyed someone who didn't have scorpio/pluto energy in some capacity in their chart the issue i think most people have with them is that you have to be able to accept the good with the bad and they're both usually extremes, but that sort of thing keeps it interesting so it's cool

Personally I am very emotional and it is a burden. I try not to 'inflict' that insecurity onto others. And I do not (or at least no longer) try to inflict pain onto others when I'm hurting. But I hope the majority of Scorpios out there are evolved-I hope I'm one of those becoming more evolved. It can feel like a burden that I didn't ask to bear but have been forced to by being born, an event completely outside of my control. I hope you meet a Scorpio that shifts your perspective of 'us'

And to that last post athenegoddess, I'm very interested in the Athena & Aphrodite Archetypes (I know very different) which compiles me to want to persuade you to give Scorpio energy another shot. In my humble opinion, I don't think it's that different. IP: Logged |

Imo when Scorpios (I'm) silent it's not that they have bad intentions for another person, t's fair to say it may be a negative perception of them. But usually I'm withholding saying anything as it could be perceived as escalating a situation and I don't like confrontations. So I shut up. We're probably not always diplomatic. IP: Logged |

I honestly am not sure as it comes across differently to me depending on the person. I know a Scorpio Sun, Moon, and Chiron with Virgo Rising, and she honestly seems to be very easily shook by her emotions. Whatever she is feeling takes complete control of her and she gets stuck in that feeling no matter what, even if you try to persuade her otherwise. Many times it is self-destructive, and often gets into habits that she has trouble breaking out of. I know a Cancer stellium with Scorpio Moon, Asc, and Uranus, and she is definitely more of the type to make jokes about a lot of **** . She isn't frivolous but often has a dark sense of humor I like and will call you out on your **** . She has been through a lot of emotional **** but I wouldn't call her emotionally unstable like the Scorpio Sun-Moon I mentioned above. Rarely if ever does a Scorpio person strike me with their intensity to make me go, "Wow you're so intense." I tend to like Scorpionic intensity and have attracted lots of people with Scorpio stelliums. IP: Logged |

Electro DGX, I think I'm a lot like your Scorpio friend. I think Scorpios emotions are more detrimental to them than they are to others. Out of curiosity what is it about you/your chart that makes you thinks you attract a lot of Scorpio stellium's-I'm one too. I feel like I keep attracting a lot of Aquarius, which no offense to any Aquarius out there it's just been my experience, drive me crazy. I just divorced a Leo Sun Aquarius Moon. So detached.IP: Logged |

Probably the fact that I have Scorpio Mars conjunct Asc exact, and my most exact aspect is Moon-Pluto with Moon in the 8th. I'm an Aquarius Sun + Stellium personally but it falls in my 4th house. IP: Logged |

I should have sensed Aquarius. I apologize for the gross generalization but seriously, this is a theme in my life atm. I guess my message is to integrate some detachment. Or that all of my relationships will be with unavailable men. IP: Logged |

Well hardly would people call me detached. In fact I get accused of being too sensitive, taking things too personally, always being angry. In fact I've been burned before because I care too much when others don't seem to give a **** . Even had close friendships with other Scorpios whom I have felt close to, when they pretty much didn't care whether or not the relationship would last (granted they were a Libra Moon, Asc, and Mercury, despite having a Scorpio stellium).

it's so interesting to me how the Sun & Moon shapes people and adds such dimension to their personalities. Having Scorpio Sun & Moon can make me feel very one dimensional. I do have Saturn in Aquarius my 11th house but I don't really sense that. Everything says I have unique friends, which is true & I love them!IP: Logged |

I don't find Scorpio in & of itself "intense".I do however find the following people quite loaded in intense energy that its just "heavy".Pluto-Mars conj Pluto-Sun conj Pluto-Mercury conj Pluto-Venus conj Pluto-Saturn conj Pluto-Moon conj Pluto-Jupiter conj If you have Pluto as part of a stellium by house or sign. You are intense. If you have Pluto as the apex planet of a T-square.You are intense. If you have Pluto as the final dispositor for most of your planets(Scorpio Pluto).You are intense! I experience these people as the type who are very sensitive and whom you have to be mindful of tone of voice,body language and language used when spoken to. As they read & nfer both words and body language. Because of this,people feel like they can't be frivolous or cavalier around them. Even when being playful,it must not stray from the respectable boundaries. They are not likely to be as confrontational or outspoken like Mars(unless Mars-Pluto or Pluto-Uranus is present) as their anger is more cumulative than irregular or erratic. IP: Logged |
