Are you a Scorpio? Better Question -- Married to a Scorpio?

Sean Connery said in The Untouchables, "Don't bring a knife to a Gun Fight!". Scorps and their mates immediately get this.

When you get to the Scorpio, you have to ask yourself ---- "When they are done with this life, what will all of their intensity have done for them? You can't tell serious people to lighten up. It's like asking the "Leopard to change its spots". Everyone else does not get it. To the Scorpio, all the rest of us are out of touch. The Scorpio declares to the rest: "If you are blissful and happy, you are uninformed."

Now, its not that their deep fundamental self does not permit them to laugh and be happy and frolic and live life to its fullest, its just that they have to ask themselves for permission.

The Scorpio FEELS that everything is more IMPORTANT than it looks.

The Scorpio somehow knows that this is an important life that is being lived. Scorpio knows this better than the rest of the human race. Sometimes this realization, however, can be absolutely overwhelming. Then, pleasure, dominance, atavistic impulses and animalistic issues can become enthralling. It is in a sense a consciousness that says: "I know this life is serious, but oh, its so distracting and appealing and wild."

Most of the time however, their minds are fixed on work, achievement, enemies, friends, obligations, social constructs, political happenings, movements, religions and "what is on the horizon".

The "Power of Circulating Self Reinforcement" - Every Person is their own Center.

In fact, there is the "Power of Circulating Self Reinforcement" alive and well and making this world so compelling and hard edged. Everybody has it. It is the particular feature of life that your angle on things, your take on the world, your perception of life tends to be constantly reinforced, because your individual filter is gathering all the information. So you wake up each morning more convinced that you are right, and you should pursue your path.

The power and confidence of each individual on this planet tends to be daily reinforced. This is good. This is the way of things.

King James Version
"Every way of a man is right in his own eyes: but the LORD pondereth the hearts."

The above quote says much. Because we could not survive and take care of ourselves if we did not, humans and the Scorpio Profile declare it. Scorpio tends to lie at the very center and core of this psychic and psychological spiral. There is so much on Scorpio's mind, that all kinds of floating and flying matters become grist for their mill. They awake every morning and say: "See, I was right, wasn't I?, or at least I will be more right today."

Between the Heartbeats - The Scorpio Needs Relief.

Never think that just because a Scorpio is smiling and giggling and accidentally spilling their beer at the Sports Bar, that they don't have one eye on their own process.

They Are the Sign that Knows that a metaphysical Winter is Coming.

They sit at the beginning of winter. In the beginning of winter, you have feasted on the harvest, but you know winter is coming. Scorpio knows winter is coming. Scorpio knows we are all going to get old and die. Scorpio knows anybody could end up being their enemy. Scorpio loves deeply and powerfully, but always keeps their eye on the door, as they are gripped in drama.

The wonder of being a Scorpio is that they are marvelous at succeeding, because they don't lose control. They are great at coming back, because falling was always on their mind, and know they can prove that their foresight has supplied them with power.

Scorpio is special, but its also its own enemy. They carry a big bunch of stuff on their back. And when they put it down, they are so strong and in great metaphysical shape, that they don't feel good unless they have that bag on their back. Every once in awhile they will find themselves relieved of their own burden and get this elevating feeling. It lifts them so high that its almost terrifying. When this happens, they run to their burden and put it back on.

On the Other Side

"Look upon all you have done"; said the Older Brother to the newly arrived Scorpio, on the "other side". The Scorpio looks back and sees it's whole existence, and says: "You mean most all of this stuff I was processing was going to happen anyway, and I couldn't have stopped most of it? You mean, I could have just enjoyed breathing and living most of the time?" (A theoretical conversation)

Yes, there is the "Multiple Life Model" --- BUT ONE LIFE IS HARD ENOUGH.

Of course, this is based upon a returning existence for the soul. But one life is truly hard enough.

One Rich Actor once said, on a talk show, "You know, everyone should do therapy, could do, therapy ---- if they had the money and the time. Its for everyone who thinks they can benefit."

Remember that the POWER OF CIRCULATING SELF REINFORCEMENT will make you doubt your next life's goals. In a psychological sense, it is like sitting in front of a Therapist who tells you you need a vacation, and you laugh at them and refuse to pay them their fees.

The Mate of the Scorpio Has Already Seen Much

This is not a counseling session. This is a celebration Session. If love is with you both and understanding is in your life, and fun and intensity are living together, then hug one another and walk together knowing that its worth the effort. Your life is not dull.

In a deeper sense, how serious and intense can you be and really understand life in its fullest: a puppy leaping up for food, a humming bird doing its thing, a cloud floating across the celestial heights between two peaks that have been their for eons.

There is so much in the world to make you "light-hearted", that you the intense Scorpio and the Mate can just stop and say: "I am just a Scorpio, I am not God. There is so much in the world that we can see together."

A suggested family motto: "Even if a guy like Connery is at your Marital Picnic, just pack hamburgers and beans and drinks."
