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. Aquarius possesses the emotional self-sufficiency and calm demeanor that Scorpio
may lack; it would be unhealthy to try to stifle emotions, but it is important to be able
to control one’s actions in response. Taurus, Scorpio’s Opposite Sign in the Zodiac, can
teach Scorpio about honesty and directness; Leo can teach Scorpio to be warm and
openhearted toward loved ones, rather than suspicious or demanding. |
