Scorpio

Scorpio is a deeply instinctive, intense, dramatically emotional sign of the zodiac. These people are very passionate about things. While Libra wants to know about you and be your friend, Scorpio really needs to feel a strong emotional response from deep within and take time to develop trust in you. Scorpio finds it very hard to be superficial about things, and if Scorpio doesn't feel anything it can be a sign that will go out of its way to set up situations where it feels something bad - which, for Scorpio, can be better than feeling nothing. Thus feeling, plus the tendency to an 'all or nothing' approach to life contribute to Scorpio's reputation of occasionally being self-destructive.

These people love and hate with a vengeance but half the story goes on beneath that often calm exterior. It's hard to go public with such big, complex feelings and so sometimes emotions get bottled up and distorted. Twisted types of this sign can be out for revenge; more balanced ones test people to see how much they really care; the best are saintly in their giving. Scorpio understands coming back from a hard time and the need for sacrifice.

With all this drama to carry around it's natural that Scorpios are usually deeply interested in what makes people tick. Thus psychology, astrology or any other subject that sheds light on human motivation are right up their street. Scorpio wants to get to the point where it understands so much about human nature that it understands itself, but knows it can't get there completely because half of life is instinct. These people make excellent detectives, soldiers, spies, researchers, psychologists and doctors. Get on the right side of them and they'll be the most trusting, incredibly helpful friends. Just look out for the ones that haven't sorted out, or got a handle on, those knotted emotions.

Example Chart: Björk
in

Björk is an uncompromising musician, always finding her own way of doing things. Her music is intense and deeply personal, as we would expect from someone with such a tremendously Scorpionic chart. She has been famous in her native Iceland since she was 11 and has produced a body of work that covers pop, dance, jazz and the avant garde. A recent release featured only the human voice. Björk's work covers the depths of human emotions, going to places few in the conventional pop world cover. But then this is an artist who, as Scorpio should, follows her instincts and soul, rather than the whims of the market.
