The Sun moves into Scorpio as we begin to notice
the nights becoming longer and the trees and plants begin to wither. The
ninja-warrior side of Mars rules this sign. Scorpio gets a bad rap, because
people fear the destruction of life that is so evident at this time of
year. Scorpio people understand that destruction is a natural part of
life, and they know it brings the possibility of achieving greater perfection
the next time around.
Scorpio is also associated with sex and other regenerative
powers. Scorpio people can see through illusions of all kinds, and they
often seem like they're reading our minds. Their ability to know what
we're thinking can be unnerving, especially when they criticize our ideas
before we've even finished describing them. They don't mean to make us
feel bad. Scorpios have sky-high standards of excellence, and they just
want us to try a little harder. To see how much influence Scorpio really has
in your life, order a LifeQuest or an

| Scorpio is a WATER Sign |
| Water people are highly emotional. They interface
with their world with their feelings first, and then they engage
their intellect. They have a "sixth sense" that helps them read
into people's motivations almost instantly. At times, their dreaminess causes
them to get lost in a fantasy world, and they can get disenchanted when
they find out that in reality things won't be the way they'd like
them to be. When their inner vision is used more productively, they are
highly creative to the point of being visionary. |
|
|
| Scorpio people are FIXED |
| They stay with their work until it is finished.
In fact, it's sometimes difficult for them to move from one task to the
next without a lot of prodding. They are dependable and protective, and
they're often the ones we can thank for carrying difficult projects through
to the finish. |
|
| Zodiac Presence |
The
Scorpion's stealth is an excellent representation of Scorpio's ability to
strike out when its victims least expect it. The venom in its sting represents
Scorpio's power over life and death. |
|
| Graphic Symbol |
The
tail on the "M" in Scorpio's glyph speaks of the Scorpion and
the sign's association with Mars. The letter itself refers to the feminine
principle, the original waters where life comes from. Together, the "M"
and the arrow represent sex, something that most Scorpio people have a deep
affinity for! |
|
| Color |
Purple,
dark brown, maroon, and black, the colors of the murky primeval waters,
suit Scorpio the best. This also mirrors their dark secrets. It's ironic,
but these excellent detectives almost never will reveal their private thoughts,
no matter how many questions you ask! |
|
| Gems |
Amethyst
is purple - one of Scorpio's colors-- and was said by the ancients to prevent
drunkenness. If you've ever been to a party with a Scorpio, you might notice
that they like to stay in control of their wits, no matter how good the
wine is - that's how they keep their secrets, and find out a few about you! |
|
| Fragrances |
| Geranium. This pungent scent has been said to promote
harmony between the sexes. |
|
| Body Correspondence |
| The Genitals. Highly sensual and deeply erotic, Scorpio people
are some of the world's best lovers. Even they can be disarmed when you
tell them how sexy you think they are. |
|
| Number |
Scorpio's
number is Seven, because it's the number of understanding, awareness and stagnation
waiting to receive the spark of life. |
|
| Tarot Image |
| Death. Don't fret - Scorpio people do not fear
death. They see it as the natural part of life that comes directly before
rebirth. Death doesn't always have to do with the body, either. For instance,
Scorpio people like to kill bad ideas so that excellent ones can be put
in their place. |

| How to Present the Gift: |
|
You must be a master of stealth if you're going to surprise a Scorpio. This is the kind of person who has to find out what's going on. They'll snoop through the closets and ask you questions about the gift they "just know" you got for them - and you won't have the slightest idea what's happening. This is the kind of person they invented those "Do not open until..." tags for. Scorpio will always act surprised, even when they already know what's under the wrapping, even without peeking. Just for fun, put the gift in a box-in-a-box-in-a-box to keep Scorpio guessing!

| Scorpio is the probing perfectionist. Scorpio loves all things rare, mysterious, rich and lush, and has exquisite taste. Make an effort to surprise and delight a Scorpio, and that intimidating shell will soften to reveal a sensitive inner soul.
Cool Stuff From Our Partners:
Scorpio's focus on what's going on inside the mind makes them appear to be quiet and withdrawn, but anyone who's been close to a Scorpio knows how these perceptive souls can be when they let down their inhibitions. Give them something restorative and calming: Astara Blue Flame Purification Mask.
