Scorpios are the most intense, profound, powerful characters in the zodiac.
Even when they appear self-controlled and calm there is a seething intensity
of emotional energy under the placid exterior.
They are like the volcano not far under the surface of a calm sea,
it may burst into eruption at any moment.
But those of us who are particularly perceptive will be
aware of the harnessed aggression, the immense forcefulness,
magnetic intensity, and often strangely hypnotic personality under the tranquil,
but watchful composure of Scorpio.
In conventional social gatherings they are pleasant to be with,
thoughtful in conversation, dignified, and reserved, yet affable and courteous;
they sometimes possess penetrating eyes which make their shyer companions
feel naked and defenseless before them.
Scorpio is the symbol of sex and Scorpios are passionate lovers,
the most sensually energetic of all the signs.
For them, union with the beloved is a sacrament,
an "outward and visible sign of an inward and spiritual grace.
Their overriding urge in loving is to use their power to penetrate
beyond themselves and to lose themselves sexually in their partners
in an almost mystical ecstasy, thus discovering the meaning of that
union which is greater than individuality,
and is a marriage of the spirit as well as of flesh.
They are thus capable of the greatest heights of passionate transport,
but debauchery and perversion are always dangers, and Scorpios can become
sadistic monsters of sensuality and eroticism.
Their feelings are so intense that even when their love is of the highest,
and most idealistic kind, they are nevertheless frequently protagonists in tragic,
even violent romances, "star-crossed lovers".
