I haven't read this profile of my zodiac sign in quite awhile. It's so me it's terrifying. The very end has truth however. I have been learning to deal with my emotions and I have been learning from others lately. It sums up everything I am going through right now. How come everytime I go out and a guy finds out I'm a scorpio he totally flips out and thinks it's the best thing ever? Sounds scary to me. I think I would run from me if I was a guy. Well, I'm not going to comment any further on that last statement. :) There has to be someone man enough to handle my crazy ass.
Scorpio Karma Profile
Scorpio is typically described in one word: intense.
Deeply emotional and emotionally complex, Scorpio
possesses an incredible charisma that attracts and
stimulates others, who always want to know, Who is
that behind the intriguing mystery? That's the great
question: Who lives behind the sexy, alluring yet
impregnable persona Scorpio portrays? The answer isn't
an easy one to find. Most Scorpios like to keep their
secrets, and perhaps they couldn't tell you even if
they wanted to; their constantly rising and falling
emotional responses often prove confusing at best.
Their driving pursuit, however, is connection. It's
what gives them their reputation for being amazing
lovers and what makes them so intense in both romantic
and platonic relationships. Behind that drive to
connect, however, is a driving sense of insecurity.
Scorpio is afraid that if it disconnects from others,
the disconnection will be complete and irrevocable.
This is the reason why Scorpio has developed such an
elaborate system of maintaining engagement, complete
with secrets and allusions, manipulations and
occasional rages and that Scorpion's sting that can
lash out whenever Scorpio gets its feelings hurt.
All this takes up a lot of time and energy, to say the
least. Scorpio's Karmic task is to learn to relax and
let go of its fear of abandonment and being alone. If
Scorpio can learn that to disconnect isn't necessarily
permanent, there would be less of a need for
manipulative or vindictive behavior; of course, the
only way to learn that lesson is to let go, which may
be far easier said than done. Scorpio tends to be one
of the most possessive, jealous and suspicious Signs
of the Zodiac. Those born under its influence possess
a heightened sense of secrets and are always trying to
sniff out what's hidden. However, other Signs may be
more forthright and direct, meaning everything is out
in the open but Scorpios will try to find out the
"real" truth anyway, perhaps even to the point of
creating a secret or a lie where there isn't one.
Scorpios must learn the value of trust and privacy.
Allow friends and lovers to feel trusted and
trustworthy; allow them to choose which parts of
themselves to share and which to keep private.
One reason it may be hard to trust others is that we
are afraid we can't trust ourselves to withstand being
hurt or taken advantage of. When something like that
happens to Scorpio, its Scorpionic instinct is to get
revenge. Scorpio is not a malicious Sign, mind you; it
simply has an incredibly complex emotional life and
tends to be at the mercy of those emotions. Scorpio
must learn to self-regulate more effectively, to
resist the urge to lash out when hurt, to rise above
pettiness and manipulation. Learn to forgive and
forget, since holding on to anger and grudges improves
nothing for anyone.
These lessons are difficult to learn, however. In our
struggles toward personal freedom, it helps to get
inspiration from others who have already mastered what
we are trying to learn.
