Sometimes the waters are so deep that we cannot put words to our feelings.
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 you learn to control those strong urges, you 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.
Your 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 You desperately want to have someone to merge with your feelings, but can become cold and withdrawn when hurt in love.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.
Element: Water
Astrologically, the water element symbolizes emotion. Water runs deep; it seeks its own level and will flow until it has found it. The cycle of water is endless with the snows falling in the mountains and melting. The mountain streams join to make the great rivers that run to the sea. The tides and currents churn the oceans. Similarly, our feelings are flowing as they connect the present with past experiences. Sometimes the waters are so deep that we cannot put words to our feelings. The water of Scorpio is fixed and frozen, but it is a mistake to think that ice doesn't flow. It does flow -- and with great power. Think of a glacier, moving so very slowly, yet with enough power to flatten a forest or even a mountain.
House: Eighth
Since the Second House is the House of Possessions, the Eighth House opposite it, is about what other people have. This can include sexual issues, for they usually involve another person. It is also about the ultimate transformation -- death -- but not necessarily your own. It could be said that the Eighth House is what we don't know and what we cannot understand. It is surely a House of Hidden Power.
Key Planet: Pluto
Pluto is the Lord of the Underworld. If this sounds scary, it demands a bit more explanation, for Pluto symbolizes everything that is beneath our consciousness. This isn't about the Hell where we are punished. Rather, 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 intense and powerful, representing those things that we don't or can't understand. And it is from these hidden Plutonic spaces that magical transformations arise.
Greatest Strength:
Your passion about your feelings
Possible Weakness:
Need for secrecy can be isolating
March 2008 Forecast for Scorpio By Jeff Jawer
Crazy Love
You've had time to prepare and now you need to swing into action. Mars's entry into emotionally protective Cancer on March 4 in your 9th House of Big Ideas indicates the connection between your feelings and behavior. Avoid the temptation of isolating yourself. Taking a calculated risk can set your long-term plans into motion. Happily, romantic Venus enters Pisces in your 5th House of Fun and Games on March 12, followed by Mercury on March 14, emphasizing the importance of expressing yourself spontaneously. Rediscovering the joy of your inner child can turn this month into a memorable one. But it's not all laughter, for both Venus and Mercury oppose restrictive Saturn on March 15-17. Acknowledging your responsibilities, realizing your shortcomings or coming to grips with the reality of a situation can be depressing at first, but facing the truth can set you free.
Keep in Mind This Month: Passive acquiescence is no more an option than telling everyone exactly what you think. Soften your extremes by choosing a path of moderation and kindness.
Mar 28 - 30: Magnetic Appeal
Your amorous attractions break out of constraints on March 28 as Venus conjoins radical Uranus in your 5th House of Romance. Together they form a supportive sextile with optimistic Jupiter, filling you with an outrageous confidence that emboldens you to extend your reach and take advantage of an unusual opportunity. But the Sun's dynamic square to manipulative Mars on March 30 produces disagreements over something that won't really matter in the long run. Find constructive ways to express your negativity so you can end the month on a positive note rather than wasting energy in needless conflict.
In the end. I'm a fuckin loon. Woooooo! I love randomly clicking my hororscope from email. Really. I do. Some of it's good. Some of it's, well, bad/reality. To touch on it slightly, she's been so sad lately and I don't know what to do.
Also, I hate Wawa. We've got this stupid dinner deal thing going on where you can buy certain items for $3.99 between 4 and 8 pm; three of those items for $9.99. They've also introduced the Family Size soup/side cup ($5.99 for a quart of food) for this. They held a whole biiiiiiiiiiiiiig meeting about it saying it's gonna be so cool, you can win money and it's gonna go over so well that you're gonna run outta food. The two or three nights I've been there for this dumb promotion? Sold maybe one deal. No one orders the Family Size cup save for the (pardon my rudeness) Mexicans who work on construction sites (who won't piss me off 'cause they can't speak/read english... or spanish, apprently because our touch screens? IN SPANISH NOW YOU ASSHOLES!). So, to be prepared for this dinner deal, the higher ups in the store must work from 8am to 7 or 8 pm. Isn't that nice? Fuck my day over nicely. Friday, Saturday and Sunday I get to do that (and to think I had to beg to only work half that on Easter?) this weekend. The People Who Sit on Their Asses (TPTSoTA) all day are coming up with systems and things that are making it difficult for us to work there... even the wee peons. I don't want to be there anymore but I don't know where to go. And I don't want more retail, but since I've no schooling... Really, where am I gonna go? :o( Any ideas?
Addendum: I NEED to start running again and/or doing yoga. I'm getting chubby :o(
