Scorpio, the Scorpion, is the eighth sign
of the Zodiac, representing defensive, far seeing power and creepy,
scuttling behavior.
Scorpios have the ability to shun human contact
and deal with serious matters in a purposeful fashion but aren’t
above jello-wrestling with strangers, either.
Scorpios are often stern people and those
who have dealt with them know that they are not easily ignored,
especially when they wake you in the middle of the night with a
jab in the ribs, demanding to know who ate the last Snickers bar.
No sign is as maligned as Scorpio and many
born under it have been unfairly labeled as treacherous, underhanded
and oversexed but then, more still have gotten away with their filthy,
backstabbing wiles, may they rot in hell.
Generally, Scorpios are ever aware of the
tragic seriousness of life and suffer not undue optimism, panaceas,
superficial attitudes or other such silliness and can frequently
be found in front of mirrors practicing their irritated glower.
Despite this dark side, Scorpios understand
the ironies of life and typically have marvelous senses of humor,
bursting into lighthearted chuckles during even the goriest of tragedies.
Scorpios must beware their tendencies toward
self-destructiveness, controlling behavior, addictions of all sorts
and are best kept in small, secure, plastic containers with a little
water and a few crickets.
