The Scorpion

What goes on inside that Scorpio's Mind

It is haunted and hostile, yet hypnotic and telepathic. The ghosts of ancestors and spirts passed take up a lifetime's residence, submerged under an ocean of volcanic emotions.

It's fixed in time, entrenching into every microscopic detail, the investigator, the eternal spirit. And they are the battlefield of Mars, where fiery lava mixes with the waters of eternal dream. It is triumph imbedded in trauma, the antidote is in the poison, the defenses of a survivalist.

The mind has a ferocious concentration and a pedantic compulsion with Scorpio. There is intense examination, attention to detail, interpersonal observation and psychoanalysis. The need to understand everything that inflames their curiosity on deeply intimate levels forces them into hours of self-induced, obsessive, detective-based solitude.

And they think so much more than they say. They perceive so much more than they let on. They know so much more than they could ever share.

The Scorpio's repertoire of wisdom is confronting, insightful and magic. but it is too much for so many and profoundly instinctive...Scorpio knows this.

So the mind rumbles on and on, but the voice stays still.
