Scorpio

**SIGN OF THE CONQUERER**

SCOR\* [CERULEAN CASTE] // \*PIO [PROSPIT + LIGHT]

The alternative sway of Scorpio is Scorpia, and the opposite sign is Taurittarius.

The official website defines Scorpio in three segments: sign class, lunar sway, and aspect.

Let's not mince words: Blue Signs are the ones to watch. Of all the sign classes, they have the potential to do the most good, but also cause the worse harm. They can be incredibly effective, and also incredibly destructive. Tell a Blue Sign this and chances are they would agree with you. They are magnetic and adaptive, able to adjust how they present themselves in any situation. They have a mask for every occasion. They are obsessively dedicated, willing to throw themselves into work, play, and everything in between. Because of this, Blue Signs are highly valuable allies and friends. However, they are very selective when it comes to who they let into their inner circle. You could be best friends with a Blue Sign and still never truly know them. They are powerful and successful, but they also tend toward jealousy. They often resent those they see as more well-positioned than they are. A well-adjusted Blue Sign is fantastically competent and inspiring, but a Blue Sign at their worst is a force for chaos. In love they can find themselves having to choose between their ambitions and their relationships, often with great difficulty.

Marked by a flexible optimism, the personalities of Prospit Dreamers are reactive and intuitive. They naturally exist in the present, rather than look to the future or obsess over the past. When making decisions Prospit Dreamers tend to rely on gut instinct and whatever emotions they are experiencing at the moment. This makes them quick to act and reliable in a crisis, but it also can make them capricious. They have trouble thinking things through, and their feelings toward specific situations and decisions can change from day to day. They solve problems with creativity rather than cold logic, often seeing multiple options with ease and clarity. Because they generally take things as they come, Prospit Dreamers are less rebellious than they are adaptable-instead of struggling against authority, they will find a way to coexist with it. Possibly because they are so instinctual and flexible, they like having a defined set of rules-a safety net for their passionate lives. Naturally trusting, they have trouble with deception or hiding their true selves, and will often worry about what others think of them. The self they project into the world is often not under their control.

Those bound to the aspect of Light are the universe's knowledge-seekers. They are, above all, driven to learn and understand. They are great alchemists, able to take multiple sources of information and synthesize them into something useful. They are scholars and researchers, absolutely dedicated to knowledge for knowledge's sake. They are the ultimate students, and although that might conjure up the image of people sitting around peacefully waiting for knowledge to be brought to them, that couldn't be further from the truth. The Light-bound will go after knowledge with a fierce intensity that others may find distasteful. They aren't overly concerned with laws or norms, either. They often take rules as simple suggestions, instead searching for loopholes or work-arounds. At their best, the Light-bound are resourceful and driven. At their worst they can be fussy, pedantic, and insensitive.

Scorpio (from the Greek Σκορπιός) is the eighth (8th) of twelve (12) western zodiac signs. It takes inspiration from the zodiac Scorpius "The Scorpion", and people born within the months of October 23rd to November 21st are known to be a Scorpio (occasionally known as a "Scorpionic".) The zodiac Scorpio is one (1) of six (6) negative signs, one (1) of four (4) fixed signs, and one (1) of three (3) water signs alongside Cancer and Pisces. The associated colors of Scorpio are deep red, maroon, black, and brown. The sign ruler of Scorpio is Pluto, the detriment is Venus, the exhaltation is thought nowadays to be Uranus, and the fall is Moon.

The six (6) negative signs (Taurus, Cancer, Virgo, Scorpio, Capricorn, and Pisces) are known as the signs with a Negative Polarity. This is in reference to the energy that the sign holds. These six (6) signs are traditionally known as the passive, Yin, receptive, or "feminine" signs. The negative signs also include the earth and water triplicities.

The three (3) modalities or modes in reference to a sign is talking about the position it can be found in during each season. The four (4) elements manifests in three (3) modalities: Cardinal, Fixed, and Mutable. They are also known as the Quadruplicities, because they are grouped with four (4) signs in each group, one sign of each element. Each of the three (3) modes also have specific traits that the signs grouped to them hold or example. Fixed signs are known for their resistance to change, great willpower, and inflexibility. The Fixed signs are Leo (fire), Scorpio (water), Aquarius (air), and Taurus (earth).

The four (4) elements (Air, Earth, Fire, and Water) are attributed to the twelve (12) western zodiac signs, and each group corresponds to a specific group of traits often found in those signs, along with a personality type that was proposed by the Greek physician, Hippocrates. These groups are known as the Four Element Triplicities. One of these groups is Water which has been known to house the traits of Emotional, Empathetic, Sensitive. According to Hippocrates, the Water element correlates to the Phlegmatic personality type. Phlegmatic people are described to be Stable Introverts, which means that they tend to be careful, thoughtful, controlled, and reliable.

Scorpio people are honest and hard workers, they know what they need to put effort into to get the results that they want. They are cunning and decisive, they know how to beat the game they're playing, but they're also great at cutting corners to get it done as fast as possible. Scorpio is a true friend, they keep secrets and they won't betray you, unless you piss them off or hurt them of course. They are resourceful and intelligent, daring, and they make great leaders. The Scorpio is down-to-earth and understands the functionality of the world they live in, which can make them a powerful ally or a threatening opposition.

Scorpio has a reputation for being pretty intense within their close relationships, and this tends to push away most signs, but Cancer and Pisces are best suited for a wild ride alongside the Scorpio, along with other Scorpios. Taurus also offers a wonderful pairing because of their nature, just as the Capricorn and Virgo compliment the Scorpio's attitude. Scorpio's might have a hard time having a relationship with Aries, Gemini, Libra, and Aquarius though, because they can be combative and offer a not so great edge to the relationship that can sometimes be difficult to work with.
