SCORPIO AS A WATER SIGN
Scorpio falls in the Water sign category with Pisces and Cancer, a
category that represents the most essential of all elements (Fire, Earth,
and Air). Water is the only element of these that exists in liquid, gas
and solid state, yet it remains consistent from one situation to another,
seeking the lowest level and entering the most secretive places to bring
life to the world. Scorpio exhibits the control necessary to harness the
power of water, as people born under this Water sign are purposeful and
know how to get their way. Scorpios have a fixed nature that makes it difficult
for them to give up possessions as well. Water sign people such as these
may let emotional ties take over the highest priorities in life. Highly
empathetic and sympathetic, Water sign people have a natural intuition
for knowing what people need. People born under a Water sign may often
be serious and profound, though humor holds special meaning for them due
to its mood-lightening effect and its ability to bring people together.
Scorpio is a social Water sign, and such people thoroughly enjoy bringing
people together in intimate settings.
THE
EIGHTH SIGN OF THE ZODIAC
Scorpio is the eighth sign of the zodiac and symbolizes the power of
middle age and the ability to direct and control the life around oneself.
The planet Pluto, which grants volcanic sexual energies and a keen insight
into the miracles and mysteries of transformation and metamorphosis, rules
this sign alongside Mars which lends aggression. Best known by its symbolic
defensive scorpion, Scorpio is also represented by the eagle, a beast with
gifted sight and the ability to soar to great heights as well as dive down
to the depths. The personality of a Scorpio can be likened to the onset
of middle age and an individual’s attempt to gain power through reaching
the summit of creative achievements. Pluto emphasizes the powerful, fateful,
sexual, dark aspects of Scorpios, while Mars adds a sense of direction
and dynamism. Like the scorpion, a Scorpio avoids confrontation and keeps
weapons hidden in reserve. People born under this sign have a special intimate
connection to the unconscious world. The age-old themes of life and death
play key roles in the lives of Scorpios as they often undergo trying processes
of personality transformation during their lifetimes. Because of this deep
connection to the subconscious, Scorpios have an instinctive grasp of the
seriousness and tragic nature of life. Such people are suspicious of panaceas,
superficial attitudes, glitter and excessive optimism. People born under
the Scorpio sign often have excellent senses of humor, and understand the
ironies of life in a mature fashion. More than most other signs, Scorpios
need to be wary of self-destructive tendencies, addictions, and overly
controlling behaviors.
THE SCORPIO III PERIOD
November 18 falls into the Scorpio III period, which takes Charm as
its key image. Scorpio III people are highly magnetic, sensual and charming.
Such people have a heightened ability to influence others and to forward
their aims through investigation and observation. It is important for Scorpio
III’s to attempt to clarify a working philosophy that upholds human value
and respect for the wishes of others. People born during this Scorpio III
period have a highly developed sensuality which attracts others and leads
them to seek out a variety of physically satisfying experiences (sex, food,
exercise, etc). It seems that the inner stability of Scorpio III’s is so
great that it would take an earthquake to throw them off balance. This
is due to their remarkable self control and their realistic view of their
abilities which keeps them from pushing beyond their limits. A Scorpio
III may have to be reminded to take chances and look failure in the face,
thus finding the opportunity to reach new heights.
SCORPIOS BORN ON NOVEMBER 18
A Scorpio born on the 18th of November is a highly spirited individual
who is extremely active both physically and mentally. Such Scorpios are
masters at self-control, hiding emotional vulnerabilities beneath a cool
calm and collected exterior. November 18th Scorpios are very social and
quite happy to be the center of attention. Often highly ambitious, these
Scorpios may be cut out for leading roles in life as they manifest their
ambitions in a social group they represent or personify. These Scorpios
also prefer to reveal their talents on their own terms, whether they are
amazing or mediocre. People born on this day resist pressure to seek successes
before they are ready. November 18th people may not be the most diligent,
but they can accomplish more with intuition, sensitivity and vision than
many can through hours of effort. They are not as sensually developed as
they are emotionally developed, and their chameleon-like inner twists and
turns provide continuing surprises that invite the interest of others.
Scorpios born on this day are in need of constant attention and they encourage
the fascination of other people to fulfill this need. However, they may
be able to justify the attention they command by being interesting and
productive in the realm of entertainment, service, or merely by manifesting
positive powerful energies. Scorpios born on this day are highly sought
after friends who bring sunshine into the lives of all who surround them.
Positive attibutes of these Scorpios include sensitivity, empathy and emotional
understanding. Their negative qualities include malleability, passivity
and lack of ego. It is very important for November 18th Scorpios to know
themselves well so that they will not cast their feelings around or find
themselves at the mercy of their emotions. Psychological or spiritual study
is highly recommended for these Scorpios so that they can encounter themselves
at a deeper level.
