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.
