        Description:

        | Where Libra makes the first efforts toward cooperation, Scorpio seeks to
        take advantage of its relationships with others. Scorpio, I know, has a reputation for
        manipulation, but if it is a sin, it is one of which we are all guilty. The key to
        understanding Scorpio is the phrase, others? resources. Other'?resources include
        institutions like banks and insurance companies. Pooled resources, combined forces make
        the many stronger than the lone eagle. Scorpio is connected to the genitals and the
        reproductive systems. One of the purposes of sex is the pooling of resources for the
        continuation of the species. We all do it, but Scorpio is just more familiar with its
        workings. Scorpio arrives at the peak of the Autumn season. Thoughts of winter survival
        demand immediate attention. Most leaves have fallen, to nourish the soil for Springs to
        come. Harvest is in and we must decide what we need, what we possess and how to get what
        we require with what we have. Scorpio represents death, but also life; it is the sign of
        degeneration and regeneration. Part of life is elimination. Scorpio eliminates the
        unnecessary so that life may flourish.  |
