Scorpio
             Scorpio is the eighth sign of the Zodiac, and you shouldn't take that lightly.  You shouldn't take Scorpios lightly, either. Those born under this Sign are dead serious in their mission to learn about all the secrets that lie within.  Scorpios concern themselves with beginnings and endings, and are unafraid of either, they also travel in a world with is black and white and has little use for gray.  The curiosity of scorpios is immeasurable, which may be why they are such adept investigators.  These folks love to probe and know how to get to the bottom of things.  The fac that they have a keen sense of intuition certainly helps.

              It's the Scorpion which symbolizes scorpios, and it's no accident.  Much like the scorpion would rather kill itself than be killed, those born under this sign are the ones who are in ultimate control of teir destiny.  It is life on the Scorpions's terms, too since these folks promote their agenda (they are quite the executives) and see to it that things go forward.  Others may find this oever bearing (it can be) and even self-destructive, but that's the beauty of te Scorpion: these folks have tremendous regenerative powers, much like the literal Scorpion can lost it's tail and promptly grow a new one.  Fearless Scorpions rarely lose, per se, they just keep on going, since they are stubborn and determined to succeedd (this Scorpio trait is in keeping with the Fixed Quality assign the the sign).  Scorpios work as hard as they do so they can someday sit back and feel satisfied with themselves.  These folks are intense, passionate and filled with desire.  They're also complex and secretive, so dont' expect to get much out of them, lest they become suspicious and exit stage left.  it's best not to bet against Scorpios, either, since these folks are surprisingly resourceful.

               Scorpio is ruled by the Planets Mars and Pluto. Mars was the God of War in Ancient Roman mythology and is the first (and most ancient) ruler of Scorpio. When Pluto was discovered in the 20th century, it was also assigned to this sign.  Pluto was known as the God of the Underworld in ancient Roman times, so when couple with Mars, expect some intense energy to head toward Scorpions here on Earth.  This planetary Combo cmake for people who are motivated, penetrating and aware.  Scorpions dont' miss much, since they are highly attuned to the vibrations of others.  They are intuitive, probing and very focused  on know who's who and what's what.  Scorpions can lose their temper( and even become vengeful) when someone gets in their way, so it's best to give them plenty of room.  Remember, they're unafraid, and a loss today simply means an oppourtunity for victory tomorrow.

               The Element associated with Scorpioo is Water.  As opposed to the 'Rolling Seas" seen in other Water Signs, a better motto for Scorpions would be 'still waters run deep.'  Those born under this sign are as emotional as their waterborn brethren, it's just that they're not as likely to show it.  The Scorpio's emotions are repressed, kept under cover.  Again, secrets to be used another day.

               That said, be aware that these folks are clever, perceptive and always in the mix.  Their ability to see into things can sometimes be a curse for the Scorpion, however, since they can take an insignificant matter and turn it into a huge slight.  Beware the Scorpion who feels crossed!  These folks can turn vindictive in no time flat.  Luckily, once Scorpions catch their breath, they will return to their usual determined  and loyal (albeit strong-willed) ways. Finally, while Scorpions aren't above some subtle manipulation to get what they want, they'd much rather take a scientific, even mystical path.  The Scorpio-born are powerful and passionate, qualities which serve them well, as long as they don't let them deteriorate into self-indulgence or compulsion.

               Scorpios l ove competition in both work and play, which is why they'll air it out in sports and games.  Extreme sports are right up the Scorpions alley, as is most anything which will test their mettle.  They've got to have an adversary, since it make the game that much more fun. The Scorpions colors?  Powerful red and serious black.  When it come to love, though, Scorpions soften up a bit and are caring and devoted with their lovers, even if they do hold on a bit tight.  Scorpions are also lusty in the extreme (how else?), so they need to be mindful of their reproductive organs. 

               The great strength of the Scorpio-born is in their determination, passion and motivation.  Scorpions dont' know the word quit, which is why they usually get the job done. A Powerhouse?  Like No Other!
