• Scorpio October 23 - November 22
• Ruled by Pluto & Mars, Scorpio is a fixed water sign.
• Deep, mysterious, intense, observant, calculated, insightful, seductive, private and talented, Scorpios take mental pictures and inventories of their experiences and surroundings.
• With a long memory and an old soul, those born under this sign hold many secrets.
• Protective of themselves, Scorpios prefer to watch from the sidelines. Scorpios are individuals who see themselves and their circumstances through a lens of their own creation, shifting through truths that they see as synthetic.
• Constantly probing the limits of convention, Scorpios seek the edges where meaning becomes malleable.
• Scorpios can be very courageous and loyal to their friends and family.
• They remain composed under the most difficult of circumstances and will rise to any occasion to defend friends in need.
• Scorpios can be powerful and strong and therefore have to be wary not to take advantage of others’ weaknesses.
• Scorpios are the sign of transformation and have the potential to reach great spirituality.

Scorpio is often connected with the ‘ Underworld ’ whereby a personally painful journey forced the hero or heroine to confront the demonic and thus find from that descent into the darkness and depths a return upwards, again, towards the light and resurrection. Much of this occult wisdom was embodied in a four-fold process involving first anger (the Scorpion and it’s sting), then introspection (the lizard or snake who moves between the inner earth and the outer realm), the rebirth process (the soaring eagle’s flight towards the Sun), and ending in the realm of some kind of Holy Spirit (the white-winged dove and/or the mythical Phoenix bird rising reborn from it’s own self-made funeral pyre).

• The month of Scorpio is a great opportunity to explore and discover something new. Scorpios love uncovering new truths. Take a trip to a museum, watch a new film, read a new book, and make a new friend.
