SCORPIO e

The 8th sign of the Zodiac. A fixed water sign whose Key Word is Creativity. This is the sign in the Zodiac which shows the greatest potential for actual good or evil in experience. More crazy murderers and more saints are born under this sign, so if you have a Scorpio friend, watch out!

There's an interesting character hiding under that civilised veneer. Considered as the most self-intent of the twelve signs, Scorpio possesses inner, idealistic and unlimited resources, innovation and judgement. It is strangely adult from infancy, and assumes all his fellows are equally able to look after themselves. Sets his own standards and will not have them questioned, and often rides rough-shod over others, and is truly amazed when they complain. Able to perform great acts of courage, that sometimes amount to foolhardiness - because he knows that this life is but a shadow. Can be prone to suicide or mysterious disappearance. Their best work is as soldiers, surgeons, vets, scientists, detectives, occultists, or healers.

This sign has an interesting past and, as a creature of darkness and shadows, the ancient world considered it an evil sign. The Mayas called it the 'Death-God'. In the Euphrates Valley where, perhaps, it originated, the sign represented a monster, half man, half scorpion, which vividly illustrates the dual nature of this sign. The human part belonged to the upper - or spiritual nature of the sign, the animal part - the secretive brooding underworld.

In love, passionate. Often extremely jealous with strong sexual feelings. When things go well they are the best friend a person could have, but when things go wrong (perhaps you have taken his girl away, or made fun of him?) WATCH OUT - for years. His motto is "Revenge is best eaten cold" and he will wait... and wait... and wait. There is no escape.
