Scorpio – October 23-November 21 – Ruled by the planets Mars and Pluto and named after the Latin and Greek word for Scorpion, Scorpio is the eighth sign of the zodiac. The color is dark red and dark blue, the element is water and the sign is fixed. Scorpios are the divers of the zodiac and have the capacity to go to incredible depths below the surface of their emotions and swim in the deep waters of their own and other people’s psyche. Strongly sexual, and immensely passionate they are often known as the sex sign of the zodiac. They are a water sign and deeply emotional and yet ruled by Mars they contain a fire in them that allows them to achieve and succeed, rebirth and transform.
Scorpios are unique in the zodiac in that they have three symbols to illustrate their evolving potential nature. The scorpion is the lowest vibrational level of a Scorpio, self-protective, deeply shy, moody and with a sharp sting if attacked or hurt. This lowest element of a Scorpio can hold grudges and resentments, feel jealous and slighted easily by its over sensitivity and be prone to seeking out its solitary depths.
The second evolutionary symbol of a Scorpio is the eagle. The eagle has learnt to transform and rise above its own dark emotions and wounds and soars to great heights to find higher wisdom and spiritual truths. The eagle has a piercing perception and not much manages to escape its gaze. Deeply connected to both the higher spiritual mystery and the deep dark underworld of human existence, the eagle element of a Scorpio is reached when one has surpassed and overcome their inner demons. The third evolutionary symbol is that of the phoenix where one is almost drowned by the depths of their own emotional waters and yet with a fierce will and intuitive perception they are able to transcend their lower natures and be reborn into their higher self, one of deep compassion, love and wisdom…© Jo Jayson 2018
