Incarnating with elements of Scorpio
The resourceful and mysterious fixed, water sign of Scorpio ruled by firey Mars and transformative Pluto, brings passion, power, independence and an ability to fearlessly forge ahead in their own way, unafraid of what others think. For a Scorpio they look for authenticity in others and one of their strong dislikes is people who are not genuine. Scorpio is a keen “reader” of people as they scan to see who is trustworthy and who is not. They have an uncanny ability to sense the hidden within a person. They are not afraid of controversy or a debate.
The Scorpio can have a reputation for being prickly, “testing” the people around them for trustworthiness, as they are highly protective of their inner world and do not allow just any one in. Once the Scorpio builds trust with you, this is a person fiercely loyal and protective toward their loved ones. If you ever have a secret to tell someone, be assured that it will stay in the Scorpio’s secret vault. As a water sign, they are very in tune with their emotions which is what drives and strengthens them, however it can also make them feel vulnerable or out of control to express them which is one reason for their “hard” outer shell.
The Scorpio is the sign that represents transformation in the zodiac. This is a sign that can dig into the depths of their darkness to transform themselves in powerful ways. In Tarot the sign is represented by the “Death” card due to the way in which Scorpio embraces transformation, death signifying the death of the old self and rebirth. Constantly shedding and growing, the Scorpio sign itself has 3 iterations of development that it may experience during their lifetime – the Scorpio, the Eagle and the Phoenix.
Scorpio’s most powerful chakra is the Sacral Chakra which rules intimacy, creativity, power, and emotions. Those who have the Sacral Chakra as their primary one sees the world through their emotions and communicate through their emotions. Scorpios are highly creative beings and are very affected by blockages in their sacral chakra. This can occur due to guilt or trauma and other life events that may cause disappointment. It is therefore essential for Scorpios to keep their Sacral chakra balanced by expressing their emotions – be that in a physical movement practice or journaling or expressing oneself to a trusted friend. Sacral chakra healing frequencies and music may also assist. Maintaining the flow of creativity is essential for a Scorpio.
