You Scorpions can use your powerful emotional awareness to render your opponent harmless. But there is a sexual component in the poisonous tail and until and unless Scorpions learn to control those strong urges, they may find themselves in awkward situations. Scorpio is the only sign that has three animal totems. First, there is the Scorpion with a active tail. Second, as the Scorpio learns to conquer its passion and hold its instincts aside, it changes into the Eagle. The Eagle has a wider perspective, it flies high above the circumstances, swooping down with its power only to kill the prey for food. In its third form, the Scorpion becomes like a peaceful dove. Scorpios transform the painful poisons of possessive passion into a higher consciousness based on universal love.
For a Scorpio something which is hidden, is interesting. Your magnetic personality attracts others to you. When hurt in love you may become cold and withdrawn.
Key Planet: Pluto
Pluto is the Lord of the Underworld. If this sounds scary to you, it demands more explanation, for Pluto symbolizes everything that is beneath our consciousness. This does not denote Hell where we are punished for our bad deeds. But, it is the Hell that William Blake describes as a place "so beautiful that it would torment an angel to insanity." As the key planet for Scorpio, Pluto is powerful, representing the things that we don't or can't understand. And it is from these hidden Plutonic spaces that magical transformations arise.
Eighth House: Transformation
Since the second house is the House of Possessions, the Eighth House opposite to it, is about what other people have. This can include sexual issues, for they usually involve the another person. It is also about the ultimate transformation -- death -- but not necessarily your own. The Eighth House is all about the things we don't know and cannot understand. It is a House of Hidden Power.
Scorpio Element: Water
This Scorpio sign is associated with the element of emotion, water. Sometimes the waters are so deep that we cannot express our feelings in words. With the snows falling in the mountains and melting, the cycle of water is endless.
Scorpio Strength:
Your passion for your feelings strengthens you.
Scorpio Weakness:
Love for secrecy may isolate you.
