Scorpio archetype- I have been asked to moderate the thread for the Scorpio
Posts: 144
expression, we have those who manifest a compulsive need to maintain past ways
of being, and overtly or covertly manipulate others and sources of power for their
own self-benefit. The Taurus polarity point reflects the need to learn self-reliance,
and self-simplicity. We must look inside ourselves to identify our own inherent
resources to affect survival, and self-reliance. The underlying need is to merge
with a higher source of power, or another person, in a non-dependant manner. In
this way, we are able to purge the limitations of our past and continue to grow to
greater heights of personal evolution.
I would like to invite others to post their insights and questions about this
archtype.

Hi Deva,
Thank you for accepting to moderate this thread, and for your thorough
introduction of the Scorpio archetype.
My understanding of Scorpio is that it is the archetype of the "natural
psychologist." It possesses deep self-knowledge of its own motivations, desires
and patterns, and is also able to penetrate into the core of others.
Since Scorpio is the sign that correlates to the evolution of anything, this
archetype is very aware of its own limitations, and therefore has a desire to move
beyond those limitations. It can evolve in a number of ways, but can also
stubbornly resist change due to its fixed nature.
The power that it seeks can be used for exceptionally good purposes such as
healing. This type of Scorpio is referred to as the 'dove' or the Phoenix, it is
gentle, compassionate, sincere and a great advocate of the weak. Since Scorpio is
also the archetype for 'evil,' it can become horribly distorted when its purposes are
selfish in nature (the scorpion). This can lead to behaviours such as obsession,
compulsion, domination, manipulation and having power over others for its own
purposes. The "black and white" Scorpio archetype has the capacity for great
good or great harm.
Since Scorpio is aware of its own limitations, its strong desire nature leads it to
merge and absorb the power from powerful symbols and sources so as to effect
metamorphosis, that is, attain greater levels of personal growth and evolution.
These symbols of power can be almost anything such as relationships, knowledge,
status, money, sex, spirituality, etc., depending on the level of evolution.
Since this archetype has a deep fascination with sexual energy, sexual union is a
way it can metamorphose its limitations. Scorpio is really looking for a partner
with whom it resonates with on a deep soul level, but in casual relationships, when
it has fulfilled some sexual need connected with power, it can easily discard the
other. This gives it the reputation for behaving like the 'black widow spider.'
When the tables are turned, however, this archetype can suffer deep betrayal,
abandonment, and violations of trust issues which can take lifetimes to resolve.
There is a need for Scorpio to develop more trust, to 'let go,' to surrender, and to
be more open about its feelings.

Hello to everyone on the forum, Im new here but not new to Astrology or EA. Am
currently taking the correspondence course to deepen my knowledge in EA and felt
now was the right time to register. Being a last degree Scorpio I would like to
chime in on this topic and offer some insight.
For me, Scorpio is where we choose good or evil, light or darkness, love or hate.
It is only when we understand and face our own compulsions head on that we truly
get to know ourselves and others, thru this process we must face our darkest and
ugliest aspects in order to let the light shine on our potential. How can we choose
what is right if we aernt conscious of what really motivates us? Thru Scorpio we
descend to the underworld (our own personal hell) in order to find out who we
really are. What makes us tick and why. In this process of self discovery we
CHOOSE which side we are on, who to be and what we want to evolve into as
individuals.
So Scorpio seems to be related to free will and choice. Scorpio is where, thru reliving the same cycles again and again we can consciously make a choice to
change our patterns. We all know the feeling when our fundamental security is
threatened or when we are re-living a pattern that keeps playing out in our lives.
For example when we are afraid of losing someone we love due to insecurities or
jealousy. Scorpio here correlates to the fear of loss and betrayal, the re-living of
these themes and also the awareness that arises from such experiences. Therefore
only after dealing with these issues and diving deep into ourselves may we be free
of subconscious fears in order to be able to make a conscious choice based on free
will. Such as the choice to not take action based on vindictive impulses, therefore
breaking a pattern.
In the case of the example above, thru the Taurus polarity of self reliance,
patience and emotional stability one could learn to stay calm and objective in such
a situation and wait things out instead of creating the typical emotional crisis that
Scorpio tends to create when threatened. Scorpio also needs to learn objectivity
thru the natural square to Aquarius.
Sometimes Scorpio could benefit from just chilling out and observing others and
itself, calmly and patiently.

Hi, skywalker. Thanks so much for your input about the Scorpio archetype. It is
very insightful and, in a true Scorpio fashion, right the to the point! I am open for
input about what would be helpful to others to continue this thread. Examples of
those with a predominate Scorpio in their chart? Questions from others about
those who have Scorpio in their chart, etc? Please let me know what you all feel
would be helpful at this point.

SCORPIO ARCHETYPE
I wanted to jump in too. With a South Node, Mercury and Neptune in Scorpio (H9)
I would totally second what SKYWALKER has shared. Scorpio energy is very
intense and as much as we would try to run and hide from some of the darker
aspects of Scorpio, it somehow comes to find us and finally, we must meet the
human shadow face to face,one way or another either in ourselves or in projected
form outside of ourselves.
Scorpio is always looking for hidden motives and agendas of others, especially
when much of it's nativie's dark side has been repressed and unconsciously
projected. It can have a great element of paranoia to it as well.
I feel what Scorpio is calling us to at the core, is to reckon with all that is hated
and deemed dark and ugly within the human condition by shining the light of
consciousness unto it rather than continuing to run, ignore and repress it . For it
is in the continual covering over and running from the repressed material of
human shadow (because it is very uncomfortable to be with) that it's negative
aspects gain more momentum and power. But the promise is a literal rebirth and
transformation, and true power that is Natural and without agenda.
There is a possibility of a very deep and sacred liberation for the soul, when one
has a strong Scorpio signature. But it takes real courage because some of what
one may find there is extreme and difficult to look at and let move through and
transform you and in this culture there is often not too much support for this deep
kind of penetrating.
It is those with a strong Scorpio signature that have actually met what most think
they could never meet and come out the other end healed, that can truly aid
others who are fearing and running from their own darkenss, projected out as
"other" or "internally", and to help to embrace all of it, in the Heart --the HEART of
the Universe -- and have a true rebirth. In my experience, I have found that
nothing but the Authentic Space of the UNIVERSAL HEART, that is found in the
very core of our own heart and soul, can deal with this kind of energy.
There is so much more I could share about the Scorpio Archetype, firsthand --but
for now I this is what came.
-------------this youtube clip can add to my description
"Self Hatred"

(give it a couple minutes to get to the heart of the message ---around 3minutes in
it really gets to the crux.) I really feel it's worth the listen.

Deva,
Your quote: "Please let me know what you all feel would be helpful at this point."
The question arising for me now is: Did Scorpio's 'dark' reputation come about
due to patriarchal distortion? Has many thousands of years of patriarchal
conditioning bred and stored the dark aspects of the Scorpio archetype within the
psyche of man?
I imagine that the undistorted expression during the long period of time of the
Matriarchy would have been connected to healing of oneself and others, rising
above limitations and deep communion with the Divine. After all, the higher levels
of Scorpio are so full of healing, grace and compassion.
I'd also be interested in hearing your views, Deva, of the Scorpio North Node. I
like what you wrote in your introduction: "We become aware of universal forces,
or a higher source power, and we desire to merge with it in order to affect
personal growth and evolution."
Here's something I'd like to share with the thread which encapsulates the serious
devotion of the Scorpio archetype within the Spiritual evolutionary condition: it
expresses the deepest depths of despair and the highest of highs!

Hi Linda, it is a good point you bring up in terms of addressing how the natural
archetype of Scorpio has been distorted through man-made, or Patriarchal
conditioning. The way I would answer your question is that, in natural times,
there was a natural understanding, or awareness, that we all have a shadow to
face. Thus, the Plutonian, or Scorpio, process of cyclic death, re-birth, and
personal re-generation was embraced as a natural part of life. Many of us can feel,
at a subliminal level at least, that there are dark or unhealthy aspects within
ourselves that we must eliminate, or purge, in order to continue to grow. Yet,
because of how we are conditioned, or culturally trained, to view such aspects
within ourselves we are not comfortable accepting such dynamics which leads to
resistance to growth and defensiveness to change. In other words, we may have
internalized the message that we are dark and/or evil based on patriarchal
judgments and standards, which leads to resistance to accepting the unhealthy
dynamics within ourselves that need to change in order to evolve. Many people
tend to hide from, or resist facing, their shadow. The point within this is that, in
natural times and through aligning with natural law, we manifest the Scorpio
archetype in a healthy or empowered state. We accept that facing our shadow, or
our dark side, is a natural part of life and evolution itself (it does not make us dark
or evil to face or recognize these dynamics within ourselves). We cannot change or
evolve if we do not confront these dynamics within ourselves. When we manifest
the Scorpio archetype this way, there is consistent growth and evolution, and a
commit is made to resolving whatever issues need to confronted at any moment in
time in a open and non-defensive manner.
This eliminate unnecessary confrontations of a negative nature with others. In
addition, the power trips or power struggles with others will cease because we
are seeking to re-empower ourselves and others, not to over- power, use, or

not allow others to place us in a position of authority or power in their life ( we
give power back to them so to speak). We all know the horrible stories of those
who have abused power given to them in extreme ways, and that, in the end,
have been exposed.
In terms of the North Node in Scorpio, in a general sense, it is about transmuting
the frog in the well orientation reflected by the South Node in Taurus. The
person must open up to new ways of being in general that expand upon the
capacities and resources that person has already identified to affect survival and
self-relaince (South Node in Taurus). It reflects the need to merge with others,
and a higher source of power, in order to transmute pre-existing limitations. The
person will most likely experience confrontations with others about these issues in
order to expose the person to his or limitations of this nature, and to promote the
necessary evolutionary changes that must be made for this life. In addition, it
implies that the person must come to understand him or herself in psychological
terms, and penetrate others in the same way. This allows the necessary
metamorphosis symbolized by the North Node in Scorpio to manifest. Of course,
these are general correlations. We must apply the principles of the Pluto
paradigm to fully understand the evolutionary intentions/needs for the person
who has and South Node in Taurus, and the North Node in Scorpio.
Hope this address your question, Linda, and please let me know if it does not.

hard way but eventually we are going to do this. While it may seem that Scorpio
prefers the hard way, this is only so because because our sense of security is so
freshly rooted in the bottom of the chart-Cancer. Scorpio itself has patience,
knowing that everything must pass through it's domain.
In Cancer we seem to manifest spontaneously, having forgotten our deeper roots
in Pisces. As this is the home of ego and the beginning of recognition of ourselves
in relation to the material world, we go about our business condensing experiences
into a container that appears limitless from our freshly minted perspective. A
perspective which informs us that we can remain in this cuddly place, suckling
moms tit indefinitely. Eventually, the moment comes when one must leave the
sacred tit and venture out into the world. Because we have become so identified
with this condensed material form, the preconscious Piscean dreams we may have
had ( or indeed they may have been nightmares) as suckling babies recede into
mist reinforcing the construct that I am just this material body flung into a
material world. This reminds me of the dubious exclamation which probably took
hold during the industrial revolution " so and so is a person of substance"!
And here is the rub. If we are fully and completely filled with this illusion, when we
come to Scorpio ( and all of us must) we are hammered not by Scorpio, but by our
own attachment to this particular piece of meat we have temporarily inherited.
Scorpio doesn't care. It just says "next"? The cool and aloof persona we project
onto Scorpio is because we haven't yet learned how Scorpio likes to play.
Scorpio beckons as a lover. It entices. It whispers erotic poetry hoping to attract a
mate who can shed the security blanket of ego and dance freely with their soul.
The stakes are not trivial, for this is serious fun. Here one moment, gone the
next. This is the clean whoosh home versus the agony of the rack. As the
gatekeeper on the highway of transmigration, Scorpio says all must pass. At some
point on the endless commute, on the edge of your peripheral vision you might
catch a glimpse of the express lane. Note to self...bring soul next time.
One more thought that applies to the distorted western archetype of Scorpio:
At the dawn of Christianity, in some circles, transmigration of the soul was
understood to be a natural part of the cycle of life. Of course this had to be
stamped out by the full weight of the burgeoning church if they were to capitalize
on their evolving mythos of Jesus and in this case his resurrection. We hear from
stage left in a booming male authoritative voice.... "only the son of GOD can be
resurrected into eternal life" and the subtitle reads " either accept this as the
truth, or you'll get to experience whatever afterlife you believe in momentarily and
sorry to tell you this but it'll be gruesome".
Death came to be feared, and rightfully so in the context of ordained barbarianism.
The Grim Reaper.
Oh... Happy Halloween

Thank you all for welcoming me. This board is truly rich in information and full of
people with a sincere desire to evolve thru Astrology and help others with this
amazing tool.
I liked what MountainHeather wrote about Scorpios connection to archetypes, it
makes sense as archetypes seem to be a symbolic language of the Soul.
It is also quite obvious that the Scorpio archetype has been distorted in the sense
that most major societies of the present day tend to avoid death at all costs and
see it as something to be feared. When in fact it should be respected and included
as part of the cycle of life. Actually it is thru the fear of death (resistance to
change and fear of loss of control) that we as a species are controlled and
manipulated by those in positions of power. If we were to accept death and reincarnation as something natural, it would be harder to have control over us. We
would see life as an evolutionary journey instead of something to hold on to
desperately and, would be able to make the transition from this world to the next
with grace. With no fear of death but a celebration of the cycles of life, death and
rebirth we would be freer than we are today. Hopefully this is changing and in the
future death will be embraced and, life will naturally have more meaning (Taurus).
Something I would like to get into is Scorpio and its connection to suicide.
I would like to delve into this topic as suicide can be a bit of a taboo even for
Scorpios. I hope this isnt too heavy and can be useful for anyone reading the MB.
Suicide is of course related to Scorpio although not necessarily entirely, but most
matters connected to death and rebirth are. Suicide can be for various reasons
such as but not limited to:
Extreme physical, emotional or mental pain.
An attempt to free oneself from a situation in which there is no apparent way out,
such as having a chronic illness or being trapped or stagnated for a long period of
time.
An attempt to avoid taking responsibility for negative actions such as avoiding
going to prison for a crime.

going to prison for a crime.
Guilt of hurting others so deeply that their wounds are beyond repair.
As a way of inflicting life long wounds and a way of maintaining a karmic bond to
someone that has betrayed or abandoned us. Sounds extreme but it does happen!
Pride and arrogance in trying to be captain of ones own life therefore resisting
surrendering to forces larger than oneself.
The inability to adapt to a new situation where one is forced to adapt, due to
Scorpios fixed nature this can be challenging. A little bit like being in a bardo in
between the old and the new. Where everything loses meaning and Scorpio loses
touch with its emotions.
Intense frustration and rage due to a situation that has reached its limit, leading to
rash decisions and self destructive actions out of pure impulse.
Honor and integrity such as being loyal to ones country in time of war and
commiting suicide in order to avoid revealing secret information that could hurt
fellow countrymen. This can actually be seen as self sacrifice and not merely
suicide.
Scorpio correlates with evolution as well as resistance to the evolutionary impulse.
That is why it can commit suicide, as the resistance or fear can be so intense that
the person would rather end his/her life than deal with the evolutionary process.
These themes can come up at key points in peoples lives. Generally thru transits
or progressions, these themes can be emphasized and, generally will involve Pluto
stressfully aspecting planets or sensitive points in the chart, the 8th house and its
ruler, stressful aspects to Pluto or a combination of various aspects at the same
time.
It is also important to look at the natal chart for this potential to be trigerred by
transits or progressions... not everyone with a Pluto transit is going to jump off a
bridge!
Maybe someone else would like to delve into the potential solutions in counselling
clients that are potentially suicidal?
I would just like to add that by looking into the polarity point and the natural
squares to Leo and Aquarius there can be some keys to minimize the desire to
commit suicide. Such as indicating that thru detachment and objective awareness
(Aquarius) one can gain perspective and insight into a desperate situation. Or by
the force of ones creative spark (Leo) one can find a way to radiate life and joy
again. And of course the Taurus polarity of self reliance, calmness and survival
which is what Scorpio needs to embrace.
Some people deal with the lack of will to live by doing charity work for people that
are less fortunate and live in terrible social conditions. This can be correlated to
the natural trines to Piscies and Cancer. Im suffering but at least I can serve the
whole in doing so one will also be nurtured in one way or another (Cancer) and
the sextile to Virgo, in the sense that thru service, one has the opportunity to
cleanse and heal.

archetype.
JWG often gave the example of a male in our current society with the Moon in
Pisces. How easy is it to be so sensitive in a society that judges, and is innately
unsupported of such a thing? Place that Moon in the 10th house, conjunct the
ruler of the sn which is in the 4th house, and the ruler of that Pisces being
Neptune in Capricorn in the 8th- we see an ego structure that is grossly aware of
what is appropriate and not appropriate, what is safe and not safe- has learned
to repress and tuck away its emotional needs on the basis of having been greatly
abandoned in the past. Now sure what his ea state is, but this also could easily
also be linked to gender role stuff. Sounds like he is somewhere in the
individuated state or maybe beginning of spiritual?
Pluto in Scorpio in the 6th house, opposing Venus in Taurus in the 12th, gibbous
phase, again points to the evolutionary lesson in forgiveness and to value life.
As Wendy pointed out, this suicide coincided during the transit of Pluto through
the beginning of his 8th house, moving through those Capricorn planets- as well
as the transiting lunar nodes. The last few years for him have been very
emotionally catalyzing, this would have been an immense time period in his life
no matter what.
This teaches me, again, that it takes immense desire and determination
surrender to the evolutionary process. Resistance to change (Scorpio) intensifies
the darkness, until a soul finally accepts that there's no way out but through.

Quote from: Linda on Nov 06,

You say the polarity point (or house)
needs "activation." Does this mean
that this polarity point actually lies
DORMANT in the psyche, that the Soul
is already aware of it, hence the Soul
(Pluto) forces one to activate the
polarity point in order to expand, to
transmute the existing limitation, to
learn new lessons and new ways?
In a way you could say its dormant, in
that it is a potential. Basically it
means these are qualities the Soul has
not yet become aware of, or has not
yet integrated into its nature. The
Soul is, directly or indirectly, aware of
the polarity point, since the Soul
picked the Pluto location in the first
place. As the polarity point is inherent
in any planet's location, the Soul by
definition was aware it was also
picking the polarity point. Rad had
discussion of this within the last week
on another thread. The principle of
polarity point applies to all planets,
not just to Pluto. That is how
evolution unfolds - its part of Natural
Law, how things were created by
Creator.
Quote
Are there examples where the polarity
point has already been activated in
the past, eg a planet conjunct the
polarity point?
I wouldn't word it as "already been
activated" because once the polarity
Pluto conjunct
about evolution?
That IS the process of evolution, in
action!

Steve, I have a question about
the following statement which is
excerpted from your post
immediately above:
"When we are resisting (for too
long a period, as opposed to
resting or inwardly integrating)
we are not moving towards
God/dess, quite the opposite.
No matter what stories we tell
ourselves about what we are
doing. So those who want to
move towards God/dess learn it
is through letting go that we
accomplish that."
How do you distinguish between
resisting/resting/inwardly
integrating?

So, if we, as astrologers,
explain "why" to those who
seek us out, do you think this
means they are taking a shortcut, or would this information
really benefit them? I truly
think this information is of
benefit to others.
Steve's quote: You have to
come to see that "Pluto" is on
your side, that what it asks is
for your own good, is taking you
to where you truly and deeply
(Pluto) want to go. Coming to
see this can not be done
through the intellect. You can
understand the principle, but
then you have to live it.
I also think it's important for
those we are helping to
understand the principle - but
then, of course, they also need
to understand they have to live
it for evolution to take true
effect.
Steve's quote: The analogy
coming to mind is a young
mother-to-be reading books
about giving birth to a child.
This is a great analogy Steve.
Steve's quote: And then there
are not as many questions
about how to cooperate with
Pluto, because one has learned
from experience 1) how to
cooperate, and 2) the necessity
of cooperating. As they say,

sure everyone has their own
approach, which would be great
to share here.)
