Poisonous spiders and insects, like the black wido, brown recluse. Slithering reptiles (alligators, geckos), the scorpion, and the mythic dragon.
Scorpio has a compelling presence that others sense. A big life theme is power, and knowing who to trust and when. Scorpio wants to experience the depths of love, and with intensity of feeling, comes dangerous currents like possessiveness, revenge, obsession. Through merging with life’s work, or in love, Scorpio goes to the extremes, and is transformed.
At those extreme edges, Scorpio is wary, secretive, and calculating.
Scorpio shines as big-hearted loyal, lover or friend who will walk with you through the darkest hour. Scorpio bores of small talk, preferring to go deep into the psychic undercurrents. Many are drawn to the taboo, or most difficult roles as healer transforming what’s hidden or unconsciously repressed.
