sun in scorpio
Scorpio, is ruled by Pluto and symbolized by the Scorpion, Eagle and Phoenix.
Intensity is a word which often comes to mind when thinking about Scorpio. In fact, many things are said about Scorpios, some true but many aren’t. There seems to be this narrative that paints the Scorpio way of being as something to be feared or avoided.
Those with their Sun in Scorpio do have an intensity about them which usually comes from a need to deeply feel into the life experience for it all to have meaning and be worth their time on Earth. This fixed water sign is associated with the deep well of mystery which holds secrets only revealed to those who dare to tap into the powers of transformation and regeneration.
The Scorpio is not afraid to sacrifice parts of themselves or anything that may not be working in their life to the fire of transformation, only to rise from the ashes with more resilience and wisdom from the experience. Mars is the traditional ruler of Scorpio so they pride themselves on their ability to keep getting up no matter how many times they are knocked down. Their innate determination can push them relentlessly to a point of exhaustion or obsession by ignoring signs to ease up or stop. They set their standards high and can be cruel in their self-assessment if they fall short. The Scorpion’s tail has a deadly sting and a weapon they can use upon themselves just as much as they can on others.
Scorpios are ardent lovers and love completely, deeply and loyally. Trust can be a big issue for them so they tread lightly and suspiciously until they can be assured that those who have gained their confidence are worthy of their devotion. Betrayal is a pain they cannot tolerate. Their wounds can become deep-seated scars on their emotional capacity and willingness to engage, reminding them to be cautious.
If you have gained the love or trust of a Scorpio your world may never be the same. You may be one of the chosen few as they don’t suffer fools and look for integrity and strength in their lovers and companions. Scorpios love who they love, obsess over anything that triggers their emotions, don’t play games, won’t tolerate bullshit and usually wear themselves out in the process.
See….nothing scary about that! 😊
