The Scorpio Female
Favorable
You are kind, compassionate, psychic, intuitive, and you will never say no to a friend in need. Your vision is total truth, and with one penetrating glance you can see all. At a party, you can feel the pain of a laughing stranger and can understand the fears behind the smirk of his best friend.
Instead of chatting at the punch bowl, you probably sit in a corner listening to someone's problems. You have an emotional power over people that leads them to tell all their secrets in the first five minutes, and because the intensity of your eyes is so hypnotic, it isn't until you've glided away that they realize they don't even know your first name.
You tend to be secretive, somewhat shy, and consider your privacy extremely sacred. Because you reveal so little of yourself in a social situation, you sometimes gain the reputation of being both aloof and inscrutable. The fact is that you are cautious in all your interactions because you're so emotionally vulnerable. You feel so intensely that you erect safeguards to make sure your feelings don't undermind you.
Often there is a sternness to your character and a do-it-yourself attitude that sometimes drives those who love you crazy. It is rare that you ask for help, and when it is offered, it is equally hard for you to accept it. Unlike your Libran sisters, you tend to be a loner, and of all the signs, you are probably the most self-sufficient, a quality in which you take great pride.
On a daily basis, you battle with a darker side where the mood swings seem to swallow you. However, with enviable determination you usually overcome them to do what you have to do and do it well. Deep inside there is a hunger that has made you search for activities with greater meaning. You are highly intelligent and have a keen memory and a probing mind that restlessly seeks a broader understanding of the universe, and certainly of yourself. For this reason, as well as for your extraordinary insight, you can be a formidable psychotherapist as well as a psychic healer.
Unlike any other sign, you express a profound desire to rise above yourself and your limitations. Psychology greatly attracts you, as do certain areas of the occult. Both subjects amplify your interest in growth and expansion, bringing you more deeply in touch with your luner power.
The problems that would make another person fall apart and throw up his hands, you face with calm, poise, dignity, and a sense of self-posesssion. Any self-doubts, you keep on the inside, while on the outside you are willful, tenacious, and exert a formidable influence in all of your undertakings. Your unusual qualities of endurance and perseverance and your strength of mind can take you through any crisis and help you grow in the unfolding of new emotional situations.
When it comes to love, you can be deeply loving, loyal, highly trustworthy, and at times self-sacrificing. However, before you ever get to this point, you feel you have to first determine how much you can trust. Once you are involved in an intense and monogamous love situation, your deepest fear is abandonment. It is not unlikely that in confronting your feelings about the most important person in your life, you have simultaneously experienced a shiver down your spine as you've considered the question of what you'd ever do without this person. Because the depths of your feelings can frighten you more than a little, you are loath to confront that vulnerable part of you. Rather, you prefer to spend your time reminding yourself that you're simply a strong survivor in a very challenging world. And the fact is, you are.
However, should you find yourself in a romantic situation where you feel the affection is attenuating and you're beginning to lose more than you're getting, at a certain point of frustration your feelings cut off while your mind drifts to the possibility of a new lover. You never feel that you are compromising your fidelity if your frustrations tell you that you can only find what you need elsewhere. And so you ease yourself out of a decaying situation. Or by purposely easing yourself out, you bring on a confrontation that only makes the relationship stronger in the long run. It is higly likely that hope was always part of your motivation.
Because your mind is so shrewd and insightful, you never act without having a profound discernment of all possible outcomes. Your intuitive understanding, combined with your strong resolve and emotional strength, makes you one woman not easily forgotten. Not only are people intrigued with your personal power, they'd probably pay to have it. However, even if someone informed you of your effect on other human beings, your sense of self-effacement would never allow you to believe it. A sincere sense of humility is part of your charm, as well as your wisdom. It's also part of the reason why people consider you so difficult to understand.
Unfavorable
Your mind is power personified; your body a lethal weapon. You have the head of Mata Hari, the emotions of Mussolini, and the air of mystery of a Garbo. Men see you as a sort of sorceress, and you see them as tantalizing tinkertoys. As long as they remain within the confinement of your structures, they have your stamp of approval, but, should they dare to stray from your domain, they just might feel your fangs in their jugular.
You are the craftiest of connivers--the inscrutable sex siren whose tool is total mind control. Your modest goal is their complete surrender, and as any man who has crossed your path can verify, you're just not used to losing.
In sexual games, you are the cool, elusive gambler who sometimes enjoys the play even more than the prize. People are like actors so you se the stage, sit back, and watch the improvisation. You have a way of looking a man in the eyes that can make him tremble and talk too much. This especially delights you, because you know that he doesn't know what it is you are doing, never mind why.
Men never know where you are coming from, and there are many times when you're not quite sure yourself. All you're aware of is what you want and where you have to go to get it. It might take you a liftime to come up with a reason.
You are extremely complex, moody, and often sullen during those moments when you feel powerless. You tend to obsess, connive, manipulate, and stay up all night reading something very complex into something very simple. No wonder it takes you so long to come to your final conclusion! That kind of convoluted analysis you put your mind through is enough to send Freud running back to his couch for a rest.
You need a man in your life to make you feel like a woman, but once he's there, your mental machinations only multiply. If you hold on to him merely for sex and the emotional security, but feel that materially he doesn't suit you, you'll do your best to tear him down. You'll never risk total involvement with a man of no wealth, unless he has some kind of sensational power. Only you can control your feelings to suit any need, and you have so many needs that your mind is always working overtime.
When it comes to getting power, you are cagy and ruthless, and rely upon your sex appeal to take you places. You can detach your mind from your feelings quicker than you can bat an eyelash, and you can jump into a stranger's bed faster than it takes to pull down the top sheet.
Since sex is like breathing for you, you speak through your body. Although there are many men who prefer this kind of communication to the kind called "talking," other, more sensitive soulds find it frustrating trying to decipher what you're feelin from what you seem to be saying.
You communicate in code and use eye signals, sex, sullenness, and total withdrawal to get your point across. One withering glance, and your target may fear for his life. One smile, and he forgets what he was saying. One yawn, and he is dying with sexual desire. But just one blank stare, and he wonders if you're still the same woman.
Even at your most open and accessible, you're an enigma. But when you're closed, you're more cut off than a catatonic schizophrenic. The one thing that is always communicated is that you are never crossed--without the perpetrator paying a heavy price.
Which brings us to your greatest problem: anger. Since you've never learned what to do with it, it tends to torment you in the shadowy hours. At such moments, depressions can be devastating and immobilizing if your feelings have really had time to fester.
Unless you take to punching pillows or wearing poison rings that tend to conveniently open over a victim's martini, your anger will ultimately strike back at you, like a snake. Then you become the sad, embittered, suicidal Scorpio.
Death is always a part of you, and you can court it in sublte ways. Too much alcohol, too many pills, too many superficial scenes, and both death and life become one game that has only vague points of distinction.
Your real problem is that you are one woman with too much power and not enough self-awareness. You can see into the souls of others so easily and so far that you come out the other side. But when it comes to yourself, you get caught in your own emotional catacombs, and the danger comes in forgetting the exit and deciding to live there.
The real secret of Scorpio is that at any time you can travel in two emotional directions. One is expansive and one is restrictive. The power comes in taking conscious responsibility for either choice, and then realizing that everything you really want is waiting for you.
