Scorpio Zodiac Sign - ruled by Mars,co-ruler Pluto.
Your Sun Zodiac sign may not best describe your personality features,your characteristics and general qualities that you bring to life.For many people,their Ascendant or its planetary ruler is the more obvious characteristic,or sometimes the Moon sign.Your Sun sign,rather,says more about the direction you should be moving in,to make the contribution to humanity you were born to make,and thus achieve a degree of personal fulfilment.
Having the Sun in Scorpio,your task is to learn to be at ease with feeling what goes on beneath the surface of life.Scorpio follows Libra in the zodiac.Whereas Libra has an ideal about how relationships ought to be,Scorpio is more interested in the emotional reality,a reality that can be the end of any ideal!The move from Libra to Scorpio symbolises the move from ideal of how things ought to be to the experience of how things are.This applies to love relationships,certainly,but also to everyday life.
The Scorpion is one intense little creature,with enough poison in its own tail to disable or kill a much larger opponent.But the problem with this kind of built-in biological weaponry is that it must be mastered in order to be used most effectively.You Scorpios can use your "stinger" for self-defense,using your powerful emotional awareness to render your opponent harmless.But there is a sexual component of poisonous tail also,and until Scorpio learns to control those strong urges,Scorpio may find yourself in uncomfortable situations.
Scorpio is the only sign that has three animal totems.First,there is the well-known Scorpion with its active tail.Second,as the Scorpio learns to master its passion and hold its instincts at bay,it changes into the Eagle.The Eagle has more perspective,for it flies high above the surface of circumstances,swooping down with its power only to kill prey for food.In its third form,the Scorpion becomes the always-peaceful dove.The real meaning of Scorpio is thus shown.Scorpio is about metamorphosis.Scorpios transform the painful poisons of possessive passion into a higher consciousness based on universal love.
The Scorpio motto might be "What is hidden is more interesting than what is obvious." You are the detectives of the zodiac.Your magnetic personality draws others to you.But you can also be secretive yourself,for you learn early on that when you express everything,others may be scared by the power of your feelings.You desperately want to have someone to merge with your feelings,but can become cold and withdrawn when hurt in love.You have the magic to light up the dark,but sometimes you would benefit by looking at the positive side of things rather than going into the darkness at all.
