Ah, Scorpio.

[evile]

During the month of Scorpio, we all embody the characteristics of this sign. Therefore, this mini-guide is meant to help you understand the traits and corrections to look out for.

Scorpios are sharp, extremely intuitive, reliable, charismatic, honest, generous, and loyal people. However, we don't come here to be perfect. We are born to correct the flaws in our soul. Here are some for the month of Scorpio:
Tikun (Correction of the Soul)
Scorpios are very emotional and take things too seriously.
Learn to fear less and love more. That is the secret of letting go.

They are renowned for their jealously and sharp tongue.
The punishment for jealousy? Jealousy itself! Give people the 'good eye' [be happy for others, especially when they have what you want!]

One thing that most people don't know about Scorpios is that they are plagued with fears.
Instead of using mind games to mask the fear, be honest with yourself. Face your fears so you can get rid of them.

Scorpios have a talent for organization and are completely reliable. Unfortunately, there is a hook: they want to control you.
Controlling people is an exercise in futility. The only person you can truly control is yourself. Always ask yourself, what is my agenda?

Hot one minute, cold the next.
Moderation, moderation, moderation. A balanced heart and mind is the greatest gift to give yourself.

How to improve relationships with others during the month of Scorpio:

• Stay calm. Reacting to someone in crisis only puts them further in crisis
• Teach others with examples, not with logical explanations
• Find ways to build self-esteem in your loved ones and co-workers. Lack of appreciation for ourselves is the single biggest source of our aggressive behavior towards others.

This Cancer *refuses* to date a Scorpio. (read: psycho stalker)

I dated a double Scorpio (sun and moon) once, but she really had her shit together and I didn't piss her off. If somebody held a gun to my head and said I had to marry somebody today I'd call her second. The current main squeeze would need to be called first. ;)

The fact that you're such a straight shooter is probably very reassuring to the ultra paranoid Scorpio mindset.

My stepdad, stepbrother, bio-brother, and foster brother are all scorpios.

& I have it someplace in my chart as well.

The paranoia, jealousy, game-playing, stalking, fascination with the occult, and other less-savory Scorpio thought patterns & behaviors are rather familiar to me.

But, I gotta say, there's nobody I'd rather have at my back in a fight than a Scorpio who's on my side.

OK, granted, the only two Scorpios I was involved with displayed the negative aspects. With what I know now, I am cautious when dealing with a Scorpio on an emotional/intimacy level. I have an abrasive personality and the Scorpios I dated were fiery and aggressive. Although both Cancer and Scorpio are water signs, that is the extent of similarity. But I digress.
Perhaps I have been focusing too much on the bad. Now, if another meat cleaver comes out, I'll give up on Scorpios for good :)

We all have our good and bad traits, or traits that one person finds charming and another person finds repulsive.

It's more than finding the right person, it's also BEING the right person.

I wouldn't date a Scorpio on a bet (or a Cancer, for that matter!), BUT I have Scorpio friends and family that are very solid, mutually respectful, and TRUSTING relationships. It may have been a struggle to get there with some of them, but to me it was worth it.

"It's more than finding the right person, it's also BEING the right person."

I agree with this cpmpletely. A thing my therapist said to me recently was,"It's not always about you." I took that to mean I don't have to expect the oher person to mold to my expectations.

I will add I don't use the Zodiac as a sole basis in determining if I should start dating a person. I simply like to place blame on the stars other than on myself for being an ass :P

In evaluating myself. I find that paragraph fairly accurate in describing a portion of my personality, jill's, dad's, and joe's all on different levels.
