Scorpio
Oct 23 – Nov 21

The changes that you might have been seeing are evidently just the start of more challenging times ahead. Forget all that you have accomplished before and bury them inside the dust bin. You recognize that change is always usually the one true constant fact regarding life. It can be a fantastic time for you in the event you will embrace it. Release the past and face the long run for a better future. Good colors are black and aqua. Great numbers today are 32 and 33.

Your indecisiveness is cause for concern for some else this week. There are certain events or occasions when you feel that it will cost you dearly. Yet you take your time to give it so much thought and try to foresee before it even happens. Avoid negative action because it will bring you disappointment over the way you handle matters. It is important for you to realize that it is your lack of self-confidence that is your stumbling block towards moving forward.

(October 23rd – November 21st) Sharp, pointy Scorpio is a sign of great extremes.

The Scorpio is a sign of secrecy, idealism and fantasy and all of the darker or more intense magic in life. They can both be seen as sexy, deeply intelligent and interesting as well as clingy or cold. In essence, the Scorpio is a ball of contradictions all wrapped up in a sinfully sweet illusion. The main personality trait of the Scorpio is their intensity. They are magnetic and are capable of large amounts of emotional inversion, yet as a water sign, feel everything deeply and what they feel they take within themselves on a deep, intrinsic level.

Sometimes Scorpios are so caught up in their emotions that they do not appear to be approachable but this is because they do not know how to express themselves. Their emotions are twisted up in this ball of contradictions and its hard to get anything out. When a Scorpio approaches a higher level of advancement, evolutionarily, they are able to use their deep connection to their intuition to move them forward in a great and positive fashion in life. This positive energy is their ability to be dedicated 100% to what has gotten your attention. If you were born under the sign of the Scorpio you are the type of person who never forgets when someone is nice to you and also never ever forgets when someone is mean to you. The Scorpio is known for holding their grudges, and striking back with their poisonous tails as a result of being hurt in order to not get hurt again. Sometimes this can make them a dangerous enemy, because they are so quiet about their anger, but if you are on their good side you will have a fierce friend and protector on your side.

Scorpios are known for their competitive nature, even though it can be somewhat concealed. They tend to be a filing cabinet for information and will use this information whenever they are trying to defend themselves. Scorpions themselves are known for adapting to their surroundings in order to surround. You could throw one into a can of paint thinner and watch it swim around for days before it finally perished. This is the way of the Scorpio. They resilient and capable of thriving even in the most treacherous of surroundings. In this they tend to try to turn disasters into successes and find ways to use the bad experiences to better their circumstances.

Because of their fixed nature, sometimes Scorpios become possessive or domineering when they feel they are losing something they still want to pursue in. It takes them a long time to let go of grudges and their memory can become fiercely adept at remembering who was at fault in any given situation.

The ruling planet of Scorpio is Pluto, which is a planet known for the God of the underworld. Pluto rules over regeneration as well as the beginning and end of all things. The primary key word and life lesson of the Scorpio is, ‘I desire,’ which illuminates the struggle they share in life on attempting to gain mastery of achieving what they desire. All they need to acquire what they desire is to turn their sharp focus on it and use their will to get it.  The part of the body which is ruled by Scorpio is the genitals. They are susceptible to UTIs as well as venereal diseases. Their emotions can also cause them to get sick because of how deeply they feel things.
