Scorpio Sun Sign People, Sarcastic, Secretive, Stinging

Scorpio is symbolized by both the Scorpion and by the Eagle and Phoenix. This is a complex sign, as are its deeply serious, strongly emotional and willful natives. Before Pluto was discovered, Mars was considered the ruling planet of Scorpios. In the past four or five years, scientists have decided that Pluto is not a planet. It is still accepted as Scorpio’s ruler in the Astrology world. Of course, in this sign there would be a mystery about the ruler, Scorpio Sun Sign people are mysterious and only reveal as little about themselves as possible.

There has also been talk of a new, recently found thirteenth Astrology sign called Ophiuchus, which allows only nine birth days for a person to be considered a Scorpio at all! This is not news, the ancient Babylonians “discovered” this body in the night sky, around the celestial equator, ages ago. Ignore it. Scorpio people can soar like an Eagle when life is good and they are in their element, or fall to the depths of a Scorpion. They go to extremes.

The Phoenix symbol is most fitting because Scorpio sun sign people can reinvent themselves and are capable of achieving extreme life changes many times during the course of their lives, always after a great deal of soul searching. They often want to work to better themselves in some way. They are either very good or very bad, there are no shades of gray for a Scorpio person. They have the ability to rise from the ashes, like a Phoenix, and the inner strength to make harder changes than mere mortals of other signs.

Please remember that no Sun Sign ever “falls on a cusp”, the Sun was in a specific sign at the time of your birth. You need to look it up in a book called an Ephemeris, which lists which signs all planets were in for a period of usually fifty years. The Birthdays normally fall approximately between Oct. 21st, and Nov. 21st, but this is another one of those "signs of long ascension" (don't worry about it) which means the birthday could be as late as Nov 23rd and a person could still be a Sun Sign Scorpio.

Scorpio is a fixed, water sign, so its natives are very emotional and stubborn. It may help you understand their nature if you think of ice. If you annoy them enough, you will be the recipient of the famous Scorpio “icy stare”, or feel that infamous sting of sarcasm. But please do not take this the wrong way. Scorpio people can be very nice, they just have a low tolerance level for things and people they do not like. They do not accept changes easily.

But they are surprisingly sentimental, more than most other signs. They only show it to the few people they love and trust the most. You may be shocked to find they saved a letter you wrote them twenty years ago when you tried to comfort them after a breakup, or when you see they still have a dried flower from somebody’s wedding that they saved. Reserved and suspicious by nature, it takes time to win their trust. But once you have, they will be your loyal and true friend for life. Scorpio Sun Sign Peopoe are frugal with money and know how to stretch a dollar. They are both energetic and need rest in short spurts.

A person who perceives life as either black or white has no middle ground, so has strong opinions. Once you understand that, you will have the key to understanding Scorpio Sun Sign People. They have very deep emotions, so intense they sometimes do not know how to deal with them. Scorpios love being near the water, whether for fishing or going on a cruise. They tend to mind their own business, and would prefer you do the same. They will listen if you want to share what is on your mind, and will keep a confidence. But do not expect them to spill everything they feel because you did! They speak in a blunt manner, but not to hurt your feelings, they just want to get to the point.

Amulets and talismans for Scorpio Sun Sign People are the beryl and aquamarine, which are almost the same stone. The beryl is light blue or white, or shades of green like the ones found in the sea. These stones are revered for purity it gives the wearer, and also blesses and preserves a lasting love. It is also good for disorders of the liver and digestive systems. It is also regarded as the stone of the seer or mystic, a natural choice for psychic Scorpio. They also sharpen the intellect and protect one from slander.

A carbuncle comes from the garnet family, and looks best when cut in facets. Sensitive people can see light coming from this stone, especially the more psychic they are. It protects the wearer from infectious diseases, stops them from being too extravagant (not that Scorpios need a stone to be careful in financial matters), it banishes sadness and helps heal fights between friends. The carbuncle also helps Scorpios find success, although they really do pretty well in that themselves!

The key phrase for Scorpio is “I Desire.” Scorpio sun sign people deal with the process of transformation on all levels. They normally change things to try to improve them. Scorpios possess the strongest will power and the most intense emotional desires. There is tremendous force in a Scorpio’s romantic nature, so do not toy with them! They are very serious and do not take anything lightly, so it is best if they start with good intentions from the start. They are strong defenders of justice or those in need, and never get involved in anything halfway. Although they despise weakness in themselves, they are surprisingly tender with those who are weak and need help. Scorpio sun sign people are not by nature diplomatic but say their truth bluntly. They like to investigate anything that interests them and will leave no stone unturned in research.

Scorpio Sun Sign People are very psychic people and have worked hard to develop their gift further. You do not have to say what is on your mind, they can read you like a book. They see visions and auras, and should always trust their natural instincts. They have penetrating eyes that see right through you and a strong aura of magnetism. People are always drawn to them. Scorpios love to study any occult subject and are most likely well versed in many of them. They want answers to the mysteries of life, and make a large effort to find those answers. One thing that many families discover is that if a Scorpio in the family dies, often another one is born within the same year. I have seen it happen several times.

Scorpio Sun Sign People make good researchers as they have inquisitive minds and love puzzles. They can also be firefighters, detectives, scientists, doctors, nurses, first aid squad volunteers, or career Navy people. They like discipline and the sea. Whatever your Scorpio decides to do for a living will be done with their characteristic intensity. They have sharp minds and are good at finding lost things. Scorpios are gentle and patient with children, or with anyone they perceive as less strong than themselves. The Scorpio sun sign love nature is romantic, but they can be possessive and jealous at times. So it’s up to you to teach them not to be that way, and to convince them that you can be trusted. They are bold when they take action, and brave in any emergency situation. They never forget a kindness and will always help someone who did something nice and return the favor. Scorpios hate to get rid of anything, but on the up side, are good recyclers, and often make good managers of second hand shops. They have an artistic streak like other water signs and love to repurpose old “finds” to adapt them for new uses. They love antiques and rooting around in second hand shops. They also like to build things and work with their hands.
