Passion on a stick. That's Scorpio. Your life
is so INTENSE. And that intensity and promise of passion unimagined draws
others to your side. You don't want a "relationship" - you want to merge
with your whole being. Yes, sometimes you can get a little carried away.
Everything you feel, you feel ten times more than anyone else. While we can
admire your devotion toward a loved one, it's impossible not to feel a little
sympathy for those who betray you. You're capable of releasing the full force
of your hate and fury on the betrayer, and nothing less than total destruction
will then satisfy you.
Though there's no way you'd let anyone find
out your weaknesses, that won't stop you from digging and digging to uncover
the secret depths of others. You'll follow any whiff of information, whether
emotional, physical or mental to understand someone better. Knowledge brings
power, and knowledge of another's secrets brings the power of control. It
isn't so much that you want to make people do strange and wondrous things.
It's more of a defense mechanism, insurance against threats by making sure
you can strike first.
Of course, you're not always out looking for
a way to destroy the world and those around you. You just want to get to
the bottom of things. To understand what makes people tick, what the answer
is to life, the universe and everything. You're not afraid of the dark, and
know that sometimes, that is exactly where you'll find the brightest light
shining. |
