DESCRIPTION

Scorpio energy manifests as a slow, accumulating reservoir, like filling a lake or dam. If this energy is obstructed, it can lead to flooding, mutation, and eventual destruction. Transmuting this potent energy involves exerting sustained force, intellectual empowerment, or meditation—a process of acknowledging and releasing emotions.

Scorpios are drawn to pursuits that assert control over their environment, mind, and emotions. While sexuality and eroticism are often associated with Scorpio, it’s not just about physical acts but the psychological dynamics of desire, bonding, and release through intimacy.

In psychology, Scorpios have a deep-seated need to understand and read others, discerning both vulnerabilities and strengths. They often assert dominance, employing either subtle manipulation or overt force, depending on their intellectual and emotional capacities.

Expressing Scorpio energy can be assertive and demonstrative, signaling to others not to be underestimated. However, those with strong Scorpio energy may also adopt a more passive role, strategically waiting like a trapdoor spider for the right moment.

HEALTH

Psychological and sexual health is more vital for Scorpio than any other sign, as built up resentment, anger and pain will otherwise manifest in a plethora of ways that are exponentially more intense than other signs.

Clearing of energy can allow oneself to experience all the realms of feeling which is commonly associated with Scorpio, being able to probe the depths of a human and opens them up to the diverse and often chaotic realms of emotion.

Practices like yoga and also intense physical exercise help to manage their volcanic emotional nature, promoting control and release.
