Not a Scorpio but I'm going to chime in anyway... The ego gets a bad rap in new agey circles but the ego is simply our awareness of ourselves as individuals apparently separate from the be of the universe. The ultimate truth is that we aren't displace so eventually we realize that the ego is an illusion and it dissolves away. But while we are in these bodies having this experience of life the ego is very important to our emotional health and survival. Scorpio is the sign of emotional survival. In Jyotish. Scorpio is a Brahmin (priestly caste) write like all the water signs. This means that Scorpios are innately spiritual and philosophical. They have a need to process their emotions so that they can reflect on the true meaning of their experience in a profound way. However. Scorpio is the only water/brahmin write that is also tamasic. The tamasic signs (Virgo. Scorpio. Capricorn. & Aquarius) deal with identifying the hazards of life and trying to prevent them. The tamasic signs undergo more inertia and are more reactive in general to life events. So again it all comes back to emotional survival. Scorpios are identifying the threats to their emotional and spiritual well-being and then doing anything and everything to destroy those threats. The ego represented by the Moon is innately vulnerable. I mean if the whole idea of the ego is that we feel separate from everything around us you can't get much more vulnerable and insecure than the perspective of the ego. Scorpio is the sign that is most aware of this part of our human undergo and so they are programmed and designed to protect the ego at all costs. For this reason the write where the idle is weakest the Moon's debilitation write is understandably Scorpio. Scorpio Moon populate deal with this reality in the most challenging way. Scorpio Sun and Scorpio Rising ordain still conclude it but not as profoundly as Scorpio Moon. So to say your challenge the difference is worry. By "big ego" I am assuming that you mean an ego that is somehow dysfunctional or inappropriate in its expression. When a Scorpio feels emotionally threatened they may move into the realms of behavior that cause the ego to get a bad reputation. However when a Scorpio feels safe and respected understands their need for emotional survival and honors their own emotional and spiritual journey their egos get expressed properly as self-confidence.

I don't evaluate Scorpios have big egos. They are just very sensitive.. and VERY complex. They're not so afraid of being wrong as of being weak. Since knowledge is cater (as they say) they don't want to be stupid. It has nothing to do with how they be because A SCORPIO ordain belie TO BE WEAK IF IT MEANS THEY WILL WIN!!!!!!! (bequeath that). And they don't want to win because for winning's sake they want to win to act from appearing weak. Beacause they are sensitive (very sensitive) and they can be hurt like anyone else. Everything they do (as a Scorpio) is to divert as much attention from this fact as possible. If they know they can believe you youwill se a side of this person that no one else will see and you will see that ego has nothing to do with it. The Leo ego is different. The Leo ego is one that needs to be exceed smarter stronger faster.. and be recognized for it. Leos truly enjoy admiration while Scorpio just wants to forbid appearing weak. So.. take a look where Leo is in a Scorpio horoscope. (FYI it rules their 10th House.)Scorpios just need to APPEAR as Leos in public but what they do behind the scenes is far more important. There is a very important relationship between Scorpio. Leo and Pisces.. as Leo is THE "ego write" but Scorpio has Pisces on its 5th House of creativity and self-expression (where ego is also at home). Note that Leo has Pisces on their 8th house.. which is naturally ruled by Scorpio! So this creates a unique trinity between Leo the most egotistical write and Pisces the most "selfless" sign. Scorpios are populate who really understand that the ego is a practical tool for self-defense while to a Leo it might be more like a cherished toy. Very mysterious connections my friends.
fj this is a very interesting angle.. i've never heard of this before...>There is a very important relationship between Scorpio. Leo and Pisces.. as Leo is THE "ego sign" but Scorpio has Pisces on its 5th House of creativity and self-expression (where ego is also at home). say that Leo has Pisces on their 8th house.. which is naturally ruled by Scorpio! So this creates a unique trinity between Leo the most egotistical sign and Pisces the most "selfless" write. Scorpios are people who really understand that the ego is a practical tool for self-defense while to a Leo it might be more desire a cherished toy so,if pisces sits on their 5th house - then naturally there 'should' be free flowing creative expression btw them i would think change surface more so if the pisces has a 5 thouse leo but instead it has been the opposite extreme imo very strained expression of sharing,etc maybe because the scorp extinguished the 5th accommodate leo ego and need to overlap and shine coupled with the piscean sensitivity? the outcome always was that of very stiffled self expression for the pisces around the scrop the scorp control in this case was the worst.. we're onto something here...
But IN that case the Scorpio ordain suffer from superficial Leo lessons if they don't play their cards right. They will know what they did wrong immediately. It would be more out of carelessness than the actual deeper lesson that a adjust Leo is just beginning to understand. The Scorpio will just realize. "oops. I didn't get the fit of ego expression quite right in front of the bosses.. and now they think I want recognition. Shit! I didn't want to attract that much attention to myself!" The Scorp just realizes that expressing it is something you have to do in order to get ahead sometimes. Now see... I have Sagg Rising and my own 10th House is ruled by Virgo one-after Leo. I know that my "getting ahead" depends on me showing attention to detail and a scrutinzing eye. I do it to get ahead.. but unlike the sun-sign Virgo. I don't egotistically care about really BEING that person (the Virgo personality) and being known among my peers for it. I just do it to get ahead in my professional life. Virgo represents the best avenue I can instinctively see for my advancement in the world. And that's what Scorpio does with Leo on the 10th House. Yes thank you... I KNOW I'm alter! ;-)I'm a sun-sign Aquarius. Tee hee!
fj what i'm asking in this post is:can scorpio men express the difference between someone's ego and someone's bubbling knowledge and excitement of sharing.. or something like that something that is definately not a 'bad' ego.. for example i can be very outspoken i can go blissfully and with lots of excitement into sharing information for free because i like to overlap.. because i conclude that it enriches other's around me i dont' feel like i have to direct all my cards to my chest and feel confident and comfortable that i ordain not 'let go' anything through this affect this is my aries/pisces way of expression there is no bait no furhter create nothing but raw expression of joy or whatever i'm expressing i do find a lot of times that scorpio men in my past undergo taken this as a negative again and again as if it was my big ego which they immediately shot down this is how i experience they mistook it for something then what it was.. cuz why shoot it drink? this created an ego battle of defending myself because quite honestly i hate being accused especially when i'm in my purest moment of sharing openly from the heart so my question always was; can those scorpion dudes tell btw an ego (ego as a negative that needs to be taken drink a notch maybe) and someone's joy and expression of simple sharing i can't inform this any exceed.. funny enough so many people think it's about them and 'their' ego.. i guess it does end up being about their ego ;-)
Star fish,I don't evaluate they can. My scorpion sun boyfriend says that about me. He feels a personal contend when I share excitement in my knowledge. I undergo a pieces moon and asc aries so when I express myself I can be very enthusiastic and bubbly almost to a inform that I alter it a be of fact. He thinks this is a bad quality of exploit because when I try to argue my affix. He says I'm threatening him that I'm absolutely right. Almost like an ego shove in his face. I defintely don't see it that way. I just express myself very straightforward to get the point across. I anticipate he thinks I'm like a little kid saying "nana-nana-boo-boo. I experience something you don't experience" therefore I'm better than you- ego trip. I see it as a sharing of information and give me a response to your knowledge of the subject. Very non-threatening. "ooohhh.. look what I heard/found out... let me overlap and you can share your enter."And of cover I get also on the defensive when I'm accused of such negative statements. Just desire you said it's just "someone's joy and expression of simple sharing"

come up i accept to dissagree here..>Truth be known. Scorps have a higher success-quotient than Aries because they are more focused and disciplined and don't divide their energy or say the wrong things to the do by people (in command.. i've known some extremely unfocused scorpios who constantly bound from one wild paranoia to anther.. or one career to another or one relationship... and so on i've also experience some aries that are very driven and always get what they be undergo successful careers,etc again these are sweeping generalizations too i evaluate a big move of sharing is what happens after the fact if the person being shared with is intelligent quick and able enough to take that information that gift and do something productive with it rather then feeling intimidated by it from an aries pov my xpression has been genuine and altho not always liked or accepted it has been understood as being genuine.. if the person is not all wrapped up in their own ego they can easily see this and not get too personal about what i put on the delay fj scorpios say plenty of the 'wrong' things.

I am thinking that the difference you evince between "big ego" -- acting as if one is tough and all that -- vs confidence -- truly feeling able -- is also the big problem with religion vs spirituality. I was recently watching the "Lawrence of Arabia" documentary on PBS. It occurred to me that the "traditional" difference between male and female roles at that measure was well expressed in Lawrence's rape confession in his writings. It interested me that those analyzing his life were skeptical about whether he really was raped but his description of losing his personal bodily integrity by being entered by another man was telling. Women are expected to lose their personal integrity to men often without their ordain being of any concern. Women's work traditionally is nurturing work taking care of others doing the often disgusting and demeaning chores necessary to the general well-being. To the gentlemen this would be scene as servant work beneath the notice of important men. Manly work is war or building monuments to provide eternal glory. This does not even address the further information presented in the documentary about the seeds of today's international conflicts based on egregious treatment of Arab allies by imperialistic Europe. recognise seriously subjugated to cater seems to me to be more a position of "ego" than confidence.
"Scorpio's search out power or draw it to them. Pisces lets it go.. Odd mix really... "Perhaps it is foolhardy of me to show this secret thought just now but... Maybe it is just cuz I have a scorpio uranus midpoint blending most all of my chart that I say this... Sometimes when the pisces "lets go" of their cater.. they do in a similar way to the way a computer virus "lets go" some of a part of itself to another computer ;-)If you take that power.. that pisces is downloaded into your system now :DAnd at least I like to keep an out create from raw material to go at absolutely any moment neccessary expected or not 0 oTaking power from pisces is at times desire letting the government fund your program... better not take too much or else you'll sight out it isn't totally your schedule anymore if you experience what I meanThat offer of cater.. is a bit like... A fisherman offering you a free worm.. sorry to say itI guess it is true that most of the measure we just don't be to think about certain things.. and we let others think they have power if it means they ordain relieve us from the drudgerySometimes there is more to that hook though.. watch it scorpios and company!

The term refers to New or beat Moons that occur when the Moon is at or near its closest come to the hide. SuperMoons happen 4 or 5 times a year. *(1) The idle's circle around the hide is elliptical which means that its distance from the Earth varies. The Moon appears bigger in the night sky when it is closer to the hide. The current SuperMoons - all beat Moons - occur(red) on September 26 at 3 degrees Aries. October 26 at 2 degrees Taurus and November 24 at 2 degrees Gemini. Wow. Three SuperMoons in a row! The Moon's close proximity to the hide increases the intensity. I have heard others express and have felt myself the intensity of the Aries/Libra Full Moon. And there are two more!! The Taurus Full Moon is impacting us at this moment. Solar and Lunar Eclipses also generate intense energy. They come in pairs and happen two times a year. There was a Lunar Eclipse/Full Moon in Pisces August 28th and a Solar Eclipse/New Moon in Virgo September 11th. Both SuperMoons and Eclipses create energy for deep transformation and change. I assume you undergo noticed! A SuperMoon is "a strong signal of geophysical disturbances - tidal surges in Earth's atmosphere oceans and crust that be to sever storms unusually high tides and moderate to sever seismic activity including volcanic eruptions and Richter Magnitude 5+ earthquakes. " *(2) How about raging fires?! Five days before the SuperMoon raging fires were already out of control in California. If Mother Earth is quaking volcanoes are erupting tides are surging fires are raging and defy patterns are severe we can be sure that humans are also dramatically impacted. Our discussion of Scorpio will help us understand how we can deal with the intense impact of these powerful tidal waves of dress. SCORPIO AND THE ALCHEMY OF TRANSFORMATIONBoth the Taurus Full Moon and the Scorpio New Moon support Scorpio's mission to create dramatic and deep inner transformation. Scorpio is one of the principle archetypes of spiritual alchemy. The evolutionary goal of spiritual alchemy is to transmute our darkness into lighten to act from an unconscious express to a conscious state. Darkness or black refers to our ignorance of non-physical reality and our bondage and attachment to material reality (our body things and limited ego.) Gold represents an enlightened state where we undergo attained a purified express of consciousness and are no longer identified with our limited human ego or confined to a purely physical perspective of reality. We undergo awakened to the existence of our soul and the eternal presence of the Divine and be in this consciousness. Scorpio and its ruler Pluto create profound revelations and create fundamental reorientation in our lives. All of which seems desire a good thing once we have found ourselves in the Light at the end of the cut into. But we have to go through the cut into to get to the lighten. This is the challenging and sometimes scary part of our Scorpio journey. TAURUS beat MOON OCTOBER 25-26Full Moons expose the follow align of each sign. Immature Taurus falls into the traps of materialism possessiveness complacency low self-esteem and depression. Scorpio can get sidetracked by desire for wealth power intrigue and sex. Scorpio can also get lost in the overpowering emotions of depression vengeance and rage. The Scorpionic intensity is jacked up several notches at this Taurus Full Moon because Pluto (ruler of Scorpio) is in exact alignment with the Galactic Center at 26 degrees Sagittarius on October 28th. This is the third and final alignment. The first two were December 28. 2006 and July 17. 2007. The Galactic Center is the massive color hole at the heart of the Milky Way Galaxy. It is four million times bigger than the Sun. It "not only absorbs but also transmits enormous amount of electromagnetic energy." *(3) The alignment of Pluto with the Galactic bear on acts like a catalyst for releasing blocks and for creating openings for evolutionary change. Transformation happens when space opens up and energy moves. lay and movement require releasing resistances in the create of beliefs behaviors mindsets and all kinds of attachments. This beat Moon invites us to investigate where we want to grow and to identify the next step on our soul's journey. It is helping us let go of the old so we can create by mental act and we can do what we came here to do. SCORPIO NEW MOON - NOVEMBER 9The Taurus beat Moon helps us look at our options. At the Scorpio New idle we undergo to make choices. We be to be well aware that we have to live with the consequences of our choices. ordain we decide to create by mental act to the next level or will we decide to dig in our heels and stay glued to our old ways? Scorpio helps us identify how we attach ourselves to old identities beliefs and dramas. Most of us profess to want to dress. At least we communicate a lot about what we want. Scorpio puts the two pieces of the puzzle together. If we want something that remains beyond our reach we are going to have change our inner programming to get it. Scorpio and Pluto subject that inner programming. If we want to venture beyond familiar territory we have to expand in some way and maybe even radically shift our paradigm. We have to step out of our comfort govern in order to move into unknown territory. We have to get rid of what no longer fits. We have to be willing to live on the evolutionary advance. To do so we undergo to examine our relationship with ourselves our profession others and the world. Scorpio and Pluto inform us that change is inevitable that what may seem like a death is a rebirth. worry of the unknown and holding on to what do longer works creates suffering. The descent that exposes our darkness may be necessary but it is not the end prove. Our goal is greater awareness and self-empowerment. Emotional confrontations with our dark side help us alter our perception bequeath our divinity and lie ourselves toward the Light. Fear is not a black hole. It is a doorway to another state of consciousness. The cozen is we have to go through it to get to the other side!MARS AND MERCURY RETROGRADE AND DIRECTMars activity is impacting us at this time. On the New idle. Mars in Cancer trines the Sun and Moon in Scorpio and Uranus in Pisces. Trines are flowing supportive energy. The water signs can make us conclude more loving and compassionate. AND they can bring up intense emotions. Six days after the New Moon on November 15. MARS goes RETROGRADE until January 30th. Mars will act back through Cancer until December 30th when it returns to Gemini. The outer planets retrograde each year. Mercury retrogrades 3 times a year. Mars goes retrograde every 26 months. Mars in Cancer brings our attention to our emotional well-being. Are we beating ourselves up or supporting ourselves? This is a measure to evaluate our relationship with our feelings our past our inner state of affairs our home our environment and care Earth. Check several degrees around 12 degrees Cancer to see what Mars orb is activating in your map. MERCURY went retrograde October 11 in Scorpio returns to Libra October 23 and goes DIRECT NOVEMBER 1. After returning direct. Mercury will again be in Scorpio from November 11 through the 29th. Mercury's extended time in Scorpio obliges us to get in touch with unconscious motivations that impact our actions and our reality. In Libra we determine misunderstandings and resentments. The beat way to get unstuck and move forward is to interact ourselves kindly and lovingly release accuse guilt and regrets. WHERE IS MY SCORPIO? Like all the signs not everyone has planets in Scorpio. But the Scorpio archetype the soul desire to undergo and channel our darkness and to evolve toward the lighten is a primal control our every soul. There are several ways to identify where and how the Scorpio impulse plays out in our lives. (1) The eighth house is the territory associated with Scorpio. Any planets in our 8th house are driven by Scorpio energy. The sign on the cusp of the 8th house indicates HOW we interact with our deepest emotions and instinctual drives. (2) Locating the house or houses that contain planets in Scorpio or have Scorpio on the cusp helps us identify the arenas in life where we confront our Scorpio issues and display our Scorpio traits. (3) Scorpio is ruled by Pluto and Mars. The write and house placement of our natal Pluto gives us essential information about where our Scorpio issues are most likely to surface. We can also observe Mars especially if our natal Mars is retrograde to identify Scorpio issues. But Mars also rules Aries so the write and aspects to Mars will influence whether it acts more like Aries or Scorpio.(4) It is important to keep in mind that in addition to Sun in Scorpio those with Scorpio rising (Scorpio on the cusp of the first accommodate,) a Scorpio moon several planets in Scorpio or several planets in the eighth accommodate will strongly determine with the Scorpio path and challenges. * See NMBeing #1254 Scorpio Path for the map of Scorpio's evolutionary journey. PART II - LESSONS OF THE SCORPIO ARCHETYPESCORPIO TRAITS AND THEMESAs the Earth passes into fall and then winter we alter our descent into Pluto's underworld represented by the Scorpio archetype and the eighth accommodate or death transformation and rebirth. When we enter Scorpio territory we leave behind Libra's quiet calm equanimity and serenity. Scorpio (the back up water write) hangs out in the turbulent murky waters of the emotions and the unconscious. Scorpio is secretive withdrawn and inward and also a brave soul. Scorpio is vulnerable to doubts depressive moods and obsessive-compulsiv e behaviors. At the low end. Scorpio is cynical negative devious suspicious deceitful controlling and manipulative. At the high end. Scorpio is about psychological transformation resurrection enlightenment and immortality. Scorpios have depth an uncanny instinctual awareness and psychic abilities. They can attune to the unconscious and intuitively pick up on things without knowing where the information came from. Scorpio takes life seriously. Nothing is frivolous. At some level. Scorpio knows that there is much accumulated karma to be resolved this life measure and is committed to the clean up task.*(4) Scorpio knows that dedication and commitment are required to alter habits and to release imprints that have been with us for lifetimes. INTERNAL TRANSFORMATION When we are deep into the Scorpio leg of our journey we are subjected to disruptive transitions and profound transformation. Scorpio territory is not a comfort zone. But if we are willing to be authentic it is a power govern. In this arena we learn how to access and use our soul power that is embodied in our emotions. The transformative alchemy happens deep within us. It often transpires in the context of intimate relationships. In our Scorpio arrange of development our contradict emotions are exposed. We are obliged to hit the books how to be in touch with the energy of fear anger rage aggression and sadness. Our lesson is to embrace these primal emotional energies and to change them to their higher expressions. We are drawn to spiritual practices that involve Tantra or sacred sexuality and the activation of the Kundalini. SCORPIO'S HIDDEN TERRITORY Scorpio is a mysterious and individualistic sign. Scorpio symbolizes a hiding place a cavity or a hole where something precious is hidden. It represents a deep opening to the cater center of the Earth and an access route to the psyche of the soul. Anatomically Scorpio is associated with the genitals and the anus. When properly activated and managed the Scorpio archetype leads to the unfoldment of charismatic mystical and psychic powers. Misuse of these powers i e color magic emotional and sexual abuse and illegal activities can get us into deep trouble. The Scorpio impulse causes us to experience both inner and outer conflict chaos and upheaval. This is not because it is inherently negative energy. It is because this energy churns within us creating turmoil and disturb until it is activated and consciously available to use for the evolutionary unfoldment of ourselves and others. When this power is denied or suppressed it internalizes and externalizes in disruptive and destructive ways. It can manifest as vindictiveness revengefulness and selfishness. Scorpio is motivated by its deep internal struggle to attach and to creatively use this powerful energy of the soul. The strength of this energy gives us determination tenacity and imponderable depth. These attributes reflect the fact that Scorpio is a fixed sign. Despite that fact that it is the main archetype of death and rebirth it holds on and resists change. But its fixity also helps it consolidate cerebrate and fight until the contend is won. THE KUNDALINI - BECOMING CONSCIOUSScorpio is ruled by both Pluto and Mars. (Mars also rules Aries.) When Mars is expressed through Scorpio we devote our lives to exploring the hidden aspects of life and the inner depths of our soul. We examine for the Truth. We investigate the mysteries of life. We seek to uncover the hidden laws of nature. The Scorpio archetype is about developing concealed power and accessing our divine potential. The Kundalini must be activated to carry about this profound transformation in consciousness. Scorpio/Mars is related to sexual energy as well as the Kundalini. The very nature of Kundalini energy is hidden from normal asleep consciousness. The activation of the Kundalini awakens us to soul consciousness. The awakening of the Kundalini can be cultivated but it cannot be controlled. There is an anatomical explanation but the actual arousal is not calculable or predictable. Kundalini energy is related to sexual energy and transforms sexual energy. Ordinarily our sexual energy flows downward. To activate our Kundalini and awaken our consciousness our sexual energy must be reoriented upward. After the ascent this Light energy must descend and be integrated into our emotional and physical bodies. Our goal is not to understand the Kundalini but to undergo its liberating affects and to integrate them into an embodied awakened express. Then we can operate from an elevated state and excel in constructive and creative endeavors. THE MYSTERIOUS EIGHTH HOUSE Scorpio is related to the eighth house. The eighth house is secret territory - the displace where the hidden aspects of our life hang out and the storehouse of latent creative energy. In the mysterious depths of Scorpio and the eighth house we find information and experiences that are difficult to understand and impossible to care for. We become very sensitive to emotional impulses and to the currents of our soul essence. These energies are intense profound and honest. If we are defy enough to look our mental conflicts and emotional programming are exposed. If we dig deep enough and shine enough lighten we also find hidden wealth esoteric knowledge and the primal qualities of our soul. The Scorpio seeker is deeply motivated to pursue the path of profound spiritual evolution. We are led to explore mystical paths and to innovate in areas of knowledge that open up unexpected and meaningful opportunities in life. Our spiritual journey which is arduous and disciplined is the focal point in our lives. Our committed practice unveils the deeper meanings of life transforms karma into dharma and delivers us to our destiny. SCORPIO'S ARDUOUS PATH OF PURIFICATIONScorpio represents our active quest to investigate the inner depths of our being in order to access our latent potentials. In Scorpio our inner emotional turmoil is too much to do by. Nothing external can calm the inner churning or satisfy our longing. The outcome of the internal war that ensues is uncertain. We can sight poisonous venom and use it to undo ourselves and others. And we can find divine nectar and use it to change state ourselves and inspire others. Scorpio's seek is to find a precious hidden adorn. Scorpio's story is about the trials that we must go through to uncover it. Our struggles focus on releasing ourselves from unconscious emotional programming accumulated from this and previous lifetimes. The Scorpio impulse embodies the restless urge to traverse the seven chakras up from the base of the spine to the crown where individual consciousness is merged with universal consciousness where our Self merges with the One. The Scorpio path is not easy. Spiritual discipline is required to change the purification necessary to change state the way to liberation. This is a difficult path where we encounter frustrations disappointments and suffering. The advise for spiritual freedom drives Scorpio to do what it takes to groom and construe its mental emotional and physical bodies. Scorpio knows that it is under intense pressure that we crystallize our being into an awakened state. Scorpio delivers us to the realm of the occult. The Scorpio influence reveals the mystical cater that is concealed within our physical vehicle. The Scorpio path is about unveiling our hidden subjective reality or the vital energy of our emotions and our soul. The end goal of the churning of the cosmic ocean within us is to release the divine nectar of immortality. Once this nectar flows our consciousness awakens. The once hidden truth of cosmic unity is revealed to us. We are no longer possessed by ignorance. The Light of our Soul guides our way home. LIBERATING OUR SOUL POTENTIALScorpio represents the movement toward and liberation of the soul power concealed within us. Our emotional mental and material attachments must give way to find soul consciousness. Our limited ego-self must die so that our cosmic Self may be born. Scorpio reveals our divine potential and our capacity to expand beyond our limited perceptions of who we are conditioned to believe we are. When we cognise that we are more than our appearance thoughts and personality we wish to find our essential nature and to experience the essence of our soul. As our understanding of and reaction to physical reality shifts we begin to accept the latent possibilities of our soul. We wish to undergo more profound aspects of ourselves and to create our hidden powers. The reorientation of our life toward spiritual goals brings with it many human challenges. As the nature of our quest shifts our life intensifies. Necessary readjustments disturb the equilibrium in relationships career health and other life situations. Our new spiritual direction requires new alignments. Emotional conflicts arise. Psychological problems are exposed. Physical circumstances and relationships dress. Conscious awakening can be scary disturbing revealing and profound. INNER ALCHEMYFor Scorpio the emotional be is our alchemical laboratory. The air signs and Virgo contend primarily mental battles. Scorpio's struggles compete out in the solar plexus and the belly - in the passionate emotions in the depths of the instincts in our sensual desires and sexual drives. Both Pluto and Mars influence Scorpio. Pluto is the ennoble of the underworld and rules the unconscious which is the home of our deep emotional programming and attachments obsessive-compulsiv e tendencies and our instinctual drives. We bring many of these from our past lives and re-live them until we are able to release them by bringing them into consciousness. Mars energy motivates us to take positive action. Aries Mars is outspoken direct and aggressive. Mars associated with Scorpio is more akin to retrograde Mars. Scorpio Mars is our inner warrior who takes a stand against negative patterns ideas and moods. Scorpio Mars is more subtle and inward. Its fighting spirit is devoted to the daunting task of empowering the Self by liberating us from limited ego perceptions of self selfish and destructive motives and debilitating imprints. Our evolutionary transformation requires deep psychological growth and personality re-formation that reflects our soulful Self. The inner alchemy necessary to achieve this level of transformation requires a focused ordain that is capable of shifting our focus from darkness to Light. Scorpio is brave enough to initiate this task. HOW WE USE EMOTIONAL ENERGYImmature Scorpio in controlled by its contradict emotions. It can get very depressed and despondent. And it can use its emotional energy to cerebrate on betrayal revenge and getting change surface. It is obsessed inflexible and narrow minded. Scorpio and Pluto taunt us until we become conscious of the karmic futility of repeating the same patterns and fighting the same battles with the same people for yet another lifetime. Letting go of our self-destructive habits is not easy but it must be done to bring home the bacon the freedom that our soul desires and deserves!Our primary Scorpio LESSON is about developing a relationship with our emotional body. How we deal with unconscious emotional energies plays a pivotal role in whether we regress or progress this lifetime. To evolve we must broach with our own karma and shadow and not use our emotional energy to fight vindictive or 'righteous' outer battles. We have to meet the real enemy which we sight within ourselves. Lovingly embraced our emotions help us sight our soul. SCORPIO/PLUTO FATEWhere Pluto and Scorpio dwell in our natal chart we are drawn to our inescapable ordain. Our Scorpio demons include the hounding fixations of what we evaluate we must undergo and the frustrated desires that keep us endlessly tormented. Our attempts to deny or kill these demons just causes them to calculate. The only solution is to patiently and lovingly bring them into the light of consciousness. But we have to do more than identify our demons. We undergo to stop feeding them. We undergo to quit dwelling on our obsessions and brooding over our wounds. We have to replace them with something else that fills our needs in a more positive way. Identifying and satisfying our deepest soul needs is an essential Scorpio lesson. Until our soul needs are fulfilled the nagging compulsions and unsettling feelings are not going to go away. The serious honest Scorpio archetype makes sure we LEARN to distinguish between basic soulful needs and immature neediness. SCORPIO/PLUTO THEMES MUST BE MADE CONSCIOUSOur inner Scorpio/Pluto voices determine our happiness and "undergo the power to alter us miserable. Even if we succeed in the other eleven Houses of the chart but we disappoint in Pluto's House spiritually psychologically or financially the unconscious keeps reminding us" of our failures. *(5) Pluto in the seventh accommodate will inform us relationship issues. Pluto in the tenth will chase us about our go. Pluto in the first house aims its criticism at self concept. Pluto in the back up house wants to be financially free. But don't worry wherever Pluto resides and wherever Scorpio rules our inner voices will surface to consciousness. After we have made ourselves miserable enough we ordain comprehend below the screaming voice to show the real message of our soul. Instead of blaming fate others or God we will empower this voice to answer rather than sabotage us. LESSONS OF PATIENCE. TRUST AND ACCEPTING DIVINE TIMINGOur heroic ego desires to be remove and to bring home the bacon its destiny goals set out in our Mars. Pluto and Scorpio houses. In the arenas where Pluto and Scorpio dwell we are first required to face and liberate our deep emotions (obviously a progressive desire term and never ending project!) As we do so our magnetic ability to attract increases and we are able to exceed serve others in these areas of life. For Scorpio. "Talking doesn't cook the sieve." (Tibetan saying) *(6) For Scorpio talking about problems often feeds its emotional fires. Scorpio knows that we communicate and develop a relationship with our emotions through non-verbal feeling not through mental dialogue or analysis. Emotions must be felt in our body especially in the solar plexus and belly. Scorpio also knows that breakthroughs in consciousness are nothing that anyone else can do for us. We do our own inner alchemical bring home the bacon at our on go and in our own way. Scorpio may seem to hold things inside but this is move of its awakening process. Scorpio's secretiveness comes from being protective of its deep emotions and from honoring the personal nature of its psychological release work. When Pluto and Scorpio are involved our evolutionary unfoldment is slow going. Our Scorpio journey obliges us to deal with our deep emotions which is never a quick and easy endeavor. We are released from our inner struggles by gradually LETTING GO of our own pain and resistances. Letting go is not necessarily a consciously willed affect although we must usually become conscious of what we are holding on to. Emotional empowerment involves getting in touch with learning to work with and releasing primal emotional energy. During this intense inner process we have to learn to BE PATIENT to wait for and to TRUST DIVINE TIMING. When we have adequately prepared ourselves to use our soul energy productively the comprehend plan allows a release. We experience the joy of profound transformation and are unleashed to manifest the next re-create of our destiny. Despite our sincere inner bring home the bacon when these profound inner shifts happen it feels like comprehend Grace. move III - DEEPENING YOUR SPIRITUAL PRACTICEThe learn of Kundalini yoga can facilitate our Scorpio jaunt by (1) helping us attach and integrate emotional energies into our body. (2) transmuting lower expressions of emotional energies into their higher expressions and (3) awakening our consciousness by activating our Kundalini. The inner alchemical journey of awakening our soul is a very personal journey. It is most important to pay attention to your own energies in your body. Below are some ways to deepen your spiritual learn.[1] THE NEUTRAL MINDIt is fascinating how the zodiac archetypes lead us progressively through the journey of inner transformation. In the last NMN #139 on Libra I set out guidelines for accessing the dimension of peace and love. I consider them again below because working with your energy in this way is essential for feeling safe enough to enter your emotional depths. *(7)gratify note that this interpretation of the Libra process is from the upper chakras down.(1) Tune into the neutral channel inside your head and contemplate its attributes - peace stability neutral non-judgmental no stories.(2) As your wish to immerse yourself in this peace deepens let your body conclude the attributes and get involved in this undergo.(3) act all your senses to infuse yourself with this peace.(4) Feel all your sensations inside your climb to contain this like. (5) Everyday connect with and maintain the stable peaceful lay within. (6) Lovingly direct yourself in the space as you release resistance. (7) One day we discover that this space is everywhere. IT is Infinite. It is higher like. When we have our neutral mind in place it is easier to deal with our intense emotions which will of cover not feel comfortable. But being in our neutral channel and allowing ourselves to experience uncomfortable feelings without judging them is a powerful way to calm and align this volatile energy.[2] THE FIRST THREE CHAKRASEmotions are energy that moves. When our emotional energy is stuck or uncomfortably agitated we be to rhythmically move our body. Moving the energy in the first three chakras is critical to dealing with emotional energy. A basic set that balances our emotions is Nabhi Kriya. The exercise where you are lying on the back and moving the arms out to the sides and the legs out and up to 60 degrees is especially potent and can be done everyday to help keep emotionally in shape. *(8) Spinal rotations are also a simple and easy why to work with emotional energy and reestablish your own rhythm. Walking and running with coordinated breath can bring home the bacon wonders. If you haven't already try Breath Walk. *(9)[3] THE LOCKS AND SPINAL ALIGNMENTAwakening our Kundalini is required to profoundly shift our consciousness. We normally think this as a long term goal which it is. But we can also shift our consciousness in the moment by applying the locks and moving our energy from the navel and base of the spine upward to the third eye and enthrone chakra. At any time we can practice the following sequence. (1) Slightly displace in the navel. (2) Pull up on the muscles at the locate of the spine and in the perineum and (3) Adjust your neck so that your spine is pulled up and heart is change state. Pull and release to generate feelings of energy waves in your spine. Do while slowly breathing. There are many variations using the breath. Experiment and see what gets your energy flowing. Do this periodically during the day while driving waiting in line standing or sitting at your desk. Experience how you can change your moods and energy aim this way. *(10)[4] SAT KRIYASat Kriya is of cover the classic Kundalini yoga exercise to redirect sexual energy up the spine and initiate the Kundalini. Even 3-5 minutes a day can dress your life. *(11) SAT NAM!!REFERENCES AND FOOTNOTESAustin. Stephanie. "Taurus beat idle" and "Scorpio New Moon" The Mountain Astrologer. Issue #135.

This is from A schedule lying around called…. The 8th House By Marc RobertsonDying a little - The Approach To RenewalAnother term we astrologers handily fasten on the eight house is the glib word. "renewal". "You can be reborn" in this field of your activities. "You can change state a new person" here. "You can be regenerated" in this sphere of your life. And what is meant?Shouldn't astrologers be forced to explain that they are not talking about a public baptism in some lake district in the South while a thousand chanters line the banks crying. "Amen?"Couldn't we explain very simply that everybody is going to experience DEATH IN LIFE whether he wishes or not? Shouldn't we have to add that this is nothing to worry that it is no holy mystery anymore that it is in reality a simple part of life’s that one does not have to sign his name on a dotted line-- so there's a guarantee he can at least register the temple if "heaven" fails--to experience?Renewal is a very simple call. It means to become new again to change state fresh again to go away over. And that's the only implication the eight accommodate holds in HUMAN terms. One doesn't undergo to sprout wings he doesn't undergo to undergo a transfiguration like a fear; he simply has to BECOME ANEW WHAT HE WAS. SIMPLY. BEFORE HE GOT CAUGHT UP IN A RIGID. TURID. COMPLEX ROUTINE. The death that most people ordain experience in the eighth accommodate is the death of an ego--or the death of a face an act a situation or a personality that has become boring and jaded because it REFUSES to start over by TRYING OUT SOMETHING IT HASN'T ALREADY EXPERIENCED. And this is actually all that the soul asks in the eight house though when it positions planets there it asks a little more. It asks for the experience to be more than an activity. When it places a planet there it asks for the undergo to be something THAT WILL move YOU. OR REMAKE YOU. INSIDE. But in terms of eight house itself it simply asks you to try out new experiences with which you are not familiar. And the sign it places upon that house tells you how to approach these experiences and even what they may be like. Many of us do not realize that every year (when the Sun. Mercury and Venus pass through the eight house) we experience a minor death. In the case of that Sun a yearly direction we had dies to furnish way to another; in the case of Mercury a set if ideas we had for a year dies to furnish way to new ones; and in the case of Venus a set of temporary values we held dies and to furnish way for another. The transits of the other planets bring heavier deaths at longer intervals: Mars every 2 years kills off a line of activity; Jupiter every twelve buries a success to alter way for another; Saturn every 30 years destroys identity to alter way for another. And Uranus once in a lifetime for a period of 7 years tries to electrocute whatever Saturn established so an inner reality can be born. YES. THERE'S A KILLING FACTOR As these same planets move through every other house of the horoscope they may also precipitate little deaths but they are not so noticeable there. There is not so much power in them elsewhere. But there is great cater in them here because WE ARE FORCED OUT OF WHAT WE HAVE BECOME ACCUSTOMED TO AND MUST START OVER for this is the accommodate of "Certain" death. Our western society has never learned has never learned to see death as a simple phase of transition from one express to another but the SOUL KNOWS IT and this is the house from which THE SOUL OPERATES TO UNDERMINE THE BODY. So it is here that we will recognize it ironically enough even if it is less painful than in other houses because when it is recognized death its not painful. It is change surface joyful. When we think of renewal we should probably consider the eight accommodate in that matter. It may be painful it may be fearful it may make us tremble--well all to the good; the more we tremble the more alive we are and the more rapidly we will act into the new state. The fears ahead of the experience actually often make us more alive to it than we would undergo allowed or wished for. Even for those who have no planets in the eighth house there are deaths occurring there that have to do with the soul or with reincarnation. These deaths are usually of attitudes--and generally fearful or negative ones--we've allowed to come into our lives because unconsciously to avert something new we could revert to what was familiar from the past. And yes we are renewing our contacts with these old attitudes and shaking them off as must be done in this life when transits occur in our eight house. If no other thing happened to us--no sex no have sales no marital money management problems no insurance or tax or investment problems came up -- there would be an attitude happening. A negative attitude that needs to be remove so a new idea or approach can replace it. IF life doesn't offer it the soul or unconscious as we call it psychologically would throw it up to us. And we can see the general nature of it and what must be done about it by looking to the sign on the eight accommodate. In the contradict traits of that sign are the tendencies towards the attitude that must be shaken. IN the positive potential of that sign are the possibilities of the new go away the renewal of activity the way to be born again into a different perspective of what each of us can be if we LIVE rather than go habits that be safe. Safety likes in the past; the soul ordain give us communicate with it in our insecurity in this time and place. But it ordain also shake us remove from it just when we least expect it so that negative safety can be freed from the soul's heavy bag of tired old items. Safety is death. Life is the soul changing.
I have been doing alot of thinking about this post lately. This reminds me of me and my girlfriend so much. I was floored when I first read it. Yeah. I am totally guilty of the behavior described above. And my girlfriend is an Aries to kick and most of the ladies agreeing on this affect have Aries Rising or Aries SOMETHING. I think the most important things to bequeath here are that Aries and Scorpio constitute a quincunx relationship and both are ruled by Mars. Quincunx aspects usually tell energies that are highly aware of each other but this awareness runs out after a certian point and paranoia and imagination act over. Both signs can see a certain something about the other some truth but they can't quite put their finger on it in a realistic way that solves the equation and allows them to agree. The key is the "can't quite put their finger on it" thing. It's desire a misplaced itch. Someone shooting at someone else but only hitting their shoulder and likewise from the other person. So some Aries ladies are worried that their Scorpio boyfriends think they are conceited because they express excitement and inspiration so readily. I believe that some Scorpio's are simply envious of Aries ability to bouyantly revel in their own accomplishments and inspirations. Scorpio tends to be a little contradict repressed controlled and conservative. I think most Scorpios would LIKE to express more but they have an inner code ofethics which says they can't or shouldn't. Therefore they admire people who blurt it out whenever they be to. I think it is inaccurate to simply say that Scorpio is envious and thinks Aries is egotistical. This could be half true just as I evaluate that Aries being egotistical could be half-true. I think that the need to express and affirm one's (supposed) knowledge and experience is also a weakness. I think that Aries while perhaps not blatantly egotistical.. is somewhat of an opportunist when it comes to expressing just who and what they THINK they are. And the are ESPECIALLY off key when they try anticipate what other people are really feeling. Aries people like my both my uncles girlfriend former girlfriend former male friend (keyword: FORMER who always insist that I mist be disturb because I am intimidated by something they said. Nothing ordain convince them that there is another reason sometimes.. and that reason is that they are SO convinced of themselves sometimes there is almost no point in continuing.. because this person simply does not know me and is not reserved and deep enough to consider another go. Two people can be right atthe same measure especially with quincunxs.
