* Boss * Employee * Yourself
Through Astrology

NOTE:
Every word of all this
has so much meaning to it to me
you have no idea.
hOw to wiN hEr
You can give
her a tumble, but she won't fall all over herself reacting to your
overtures. Don't expect her to bat long, sweeping eyelashes at you, and
adore you with blind devotion. Those beautiful mysterious eyes can read
your mind so clearly...
Whisper
something romantic that would melt another girl out of her senses, and
the Scorpio girl will simply give you an intense, penetrating look that
will see right straight through to your real intentions.  She's
a human X-ray machine, so don't flirt. Unless you mean business, You're
wasting her time and insulting her. I wouldn't advise you to insult a
Scorpio. It's just not healthy. If you don't know what I mean, ask
someone who has. He may have some stories to tell that will curl your
hair.
I'm
well aware that this dangerous femme fatale can hide her power of
retaliation with a tremulous smile, gentle mannerisms, and the most
breathless voice this side of an angel, but asrologers are expected to
be up on these things. It's more important for you to be well aware.
After all, you're the one who's seeking to tame her
-- or protect yourself against her --
whichever.
Probably both.
You can
be sure that heaven certainly has no fury like that of a Scorpio woman
who's lost her normal steady control over those inward, seething, Pluto
emotions.
She can be overbearing and domineering, sarcastic and frigid -- then
turn as hot as an oven at 500 degrees Fahrenheit. She can hate with
bitter venom and love with fierce abandon. She can shriek like a
furious banshee or whisper like an affectionate turtle dove. One thing
you can be sure of -- she's never wishy-washy.
The
Scorpio woman has a disconcerting gift that can make icy shivers run up
your spine. It's a peculiar form of black magic, and she weaves it so
expertly it can seem like real witchcraft. You have very little chance
to escape once her eyes meet yours. Because of her mystical sixth
sense, she can often recognize a future mate at first glance and
somehow, she'll transfer this perception instantly. You'll have one of
two reactions. You'll be hopelessly caught in her spell, and down
you'll go, in a dizzy spin toward surrender, or you'll be scared right
out of your socks, and feel like running for help. Whats your rush?
Stay
around awhile. You might find out what life is all about. She knows.
And she'll teach you. Anyway, you should be flattered that she
considers you worth that strange gaze.
A Scorpio woman can't excuse weakness
in a man. She looks for ambition and courage. She wants a mate who can
dominate her and make her proud, without disturbing her secret
individuality. He's expected to be strong, masculine and better-looking
than average. A high degree of intelligence is required to match her
own excellent mind, plus more than a passing acquaintance with
abstract, philosophical wisdom.
So put your socks back on and practice a superior smirk. Everybody you
know will think your're pretty super to have her staring at you. The
men and women both. It could open new vistas, when you think about it.
Your personal stock should zoom several points higher than it was
before she noticed you.
Having
once achieved closeness with a female Scorpio, you can be positive
you're a unique and unusual man. You can also be sure that her love for
you is unmatched by any you'll ever expereience -- and you can take
that in several ways. You'll be the most important interest in her
life. If she's a typical Pluto girl, she'll boost you loyally, and try
to please you with passionate intensity. If you're too hard to please,
she'll show her frustration with passionate attempts to conquer your
disinterest.
The word "passionate"
probably caught your eye. Most men have heard exciting rumors about the
passion of November females. It's true. She's brimming over inside with
passion, though it's kept under rigid control by a poised, frosty
attitude toward strangers, and a surface smoothness suggestive of black
velvit. But the male sex is too inclined to relate passion strictly to
romantic actions; and that's selling her short, because Pluto's
definition of the word is far more encompassing.
It's involved with her feelings about everything she touches. She's
never just slightly interested. It's impossible for her to be detached
or casual. She seldom likes or dislikes a play, a book, religion,
furniture or people. She either bitterly resents or she intensely
worships. If one of these two passions can't be aroused, then she
totally ignores with ice around the edges. Yet, through it all, she'll
remain essentially untouched by emotional storms, judging at least from
her placid exterior, which always drapes itself around her after each
minor or major nuclear explosion.
It may be difficult to convince your mother-in-law that her daughter
really broke all those dishes and tore all those draperies to shreds
after the fury has subsided and her black velvet poise has returned.
People may look at you as if you're a character that assassinator. What
do you mean? Shame on you, accusing that cool, controlled, lovely girl
of such a temper. You have my sympathy, if that's any help.
more of the dArk sideBecause
she's drawn to investigation of the shadows, she may at first seem to
be tempting, forbidden fruit, and the deep, strange expression in her
eyes intensifies the impression. It's true that the Scorpio girl
sometimes wanders into dangerous waters in her efforts to penetrate
life, and since there's not the slightest trace of fear in her (unless
she has an affliction to her Moon, and is full of nameless terrors),
her search may indeed take her into some weird byways.
But the typical Scorpio will emerge from any discovery still strong
and pure. If she allows the journey to soil her inner spirit, Pluto
will punish her with anguished remorse and guilt; yet she can still
call on her great strength of character to rise again, like the phoenix
from the ashes of her experiements.
In Kahlil Gribran's writings,
the Prophet replies, in answer to a question about Evil,
"Of the Good in you I can speak,
but not of the Evil.
For what is Evil but Good -
tortured by its own hunger and thirst?
When Good is hungry it seeks food,
even in dark caves,
and when it thirsts,
it drinks even of dead waters."
A perfect description of a Scorpio.
She
may have been a fascinated spectator to a million human foibles, and
she may have tasted a variety of experiences to savor the knowledge.
But she can myseteriously emerge from all her explorations above
suspicion, and still superior to almost every other woman you know. She
could be the keeper of quite a few secrets. It's suprising how many
dark deeds are confessed to Scorpios, though their own inner lives are
marked: "Private - Keep Out." She likes to hear secrets, but she'll
seldom tell anything anyone has confided in her, not even to you
(unless there's an afflicted Mercury in her natal chart).
You can also expect her to have a stack of secrets that relate to her
personally, and don't try to pry them out of her. There's a private
part to this woman you'll never touch, a part of her mind and soul that
belongs strictly to her, and there's absolutely no trespassing there.
She's not untruthful , infact she's more often to be brutally honest,
yet there will always be those special thoughts and feelings she won't
confide to you or anyone else.
in friendship
A
Scorpio woman will be incredibly loyal to those she finds strong and
deserving, but the weak ones will never be honored by her glance. Her
dignity in human relationships can make her seem aloof and snobbish. In
a way, she definitely is, because she practices a personal caste
system, and it's more clearly marked than that of her Leo and Capricorn
sisters. All Scorpios are highly selective in friendships. They'll keep
the worthy companions through an entire lifetime, and freeze the
shallow, the common or the unworthy.
There's an immense store of perseverance and determination
buried in the nature of a Scorpio woman, and any time she chooses, she
can call on these to help her master the excesses which may tempt her,
from drink and drugs to self-destructive, ruthless revenge and
dangerouse depression.
Sooner or later, she'll proably investigate some form of the oocult,
and ancient mysteries and unseen worlds will eventually have her
repsect, though Scorpios can range all the way from religious fervor to
total atheism during a lifetime.
in marriage
A
Scorpio woman need not be legal wife to give wifely love and devotion.
If circumstances beyond your control make marriage impossible, she'll
love you from hell to breakfast, and not give a hang what the neighbors
think. In most such unusual situations, the relationship is real and
honest above and beyond the shallow, selfish love of many a legitimate
marriage. The hypocrisies of society will never keep this courageous
woman from seeking the sun.
She answers to no law but her own.
and in her Pluto heart she has more total understanding of the
vow 'till death do us part' than half of the brides who blissfully
murmur the phrase.
Despite her own strong individualism,
the typical Scorpio girl will let her man be the boss. Instead of
overshadowing him with her force and drive, she'll apply her talents to
help him attain his goals. Your future will be important to her, and
she's not likely to insist on retaining her own career after marriage
(unless you've disappointed her deeply or a second job is needed in a
temporary domestic crisis). She may fight you wildly in private,
but she'll defend you fiercely in public.
She won't stand for anyone maligning you or taking advantage of you. Those who try will feel the lash of her righteous anger.
Your happiness will always come first.
Unless there are adverse aspects to her Sun
sign or ascendant in her natal chart, she'll patiently help you
persevere until you get what you want, and while you're getting it, she
won't whine or complain or become restless, though she might turn a
littler bitter if you lose your courage on the way. She'll expect you
to aim as high as your ablilities will reach. Anything less may bring
on some pretty sarcastic taunts and reproaches, especially if she has
an afflicted Mercury.
in her sAnctuary
Scorpio women love their homes,
which usually shine with cleanliness, taste and comfort. Meals are
served on time, and things are generally under control. If the opposite
is true, something is making her mighty unhappy, because her natural
inclination is to beaty and system.
To the typical Scorpio woman spring cleaning is like vacation. They
love to dig into corners to see what they can find. Just be careful she
doesn't find any cryptic notes that smell of perfume in your old jacket
pockets when she's cleaning out the closets. Scoprio is unreasonably
suspicious, even when there's no basis for suspicion, so you can
imagine what happens when she finds a real clue to possible
infeidelity. Picture the shape of a mushroom cloud and you'll get a
general idea of what may happen, figuatively speaking. It's no good
being suspicious of her, no matter how many opportunities arise; and
there will be a goodly number of them, because she never exposes her
deepest feelings. Naturally, this can arouse a few questions on your
part. Just swallow them, along with the lump in your throat. Like that
locked chest or drawer she's had since childhood, cetain things about
her are off limits. It will get you nowhere to probe. I realize fully
that it isn't fair. So does she. But that doesn't change things a bit.
That's the way it is. Take her or leave her.
You'll
probably take her. It's almost impossible to leave her. If nothing
else, she'll haunt you the rest of your life. Adjusting to the
idiosyncrasies of her nauture is easier than suffering the nightmares
that will surely result if you walk away. No one walks away from a Scorpio. Not really. Didn't you know that? Those who have tried can educate you. Anyway, you have a very special woman.
As
much as she needs the security of home roots, she'll move if it's
necesary to your career, and without any visible flinching at the
uprooting. She makes an excellent wife for an army or navy man and a
real jewel for a politician. There's no one she can't see through, no
deception that escapes her. A Scorpio woman can tell you exactly who
can be trusted and which ones you have to watch. The Pisces wife has
the same ability, but she may be too soft to criticize, too ready to
make excuses for the falings of others. Not so the Scoprio female. In
fact, she may frequently have to check her sharp tongue and tone down
her brutal analysis.
In the budget depeartment, Scorpio women are completely unpredictable.
She can scrimp and save and pinch a penny until it bends double, then
have a sudden spell of being magnificently extravagant. One thing is
sure. She'll enjoy money, whether she saves itin an old shoe or spends
it on luxury. But this woman always leans heavlily toward presitge, and
she won't let cash compromise that. She'll be satisfied if you choose a
smaller income, as long as it insures that you are your own boss, with
the potentioal to rise to become somebody of influence, Scorpio femails
like power, and they will sacrifice much for it. Your power will do,
because Pluto allows her to be adept at living vicariously through
others when it suits her. Rememeber that although she'll sacrifice and
put up with very little for a planned goal, she's too proud to live
amid shabby suroundings forever, and she'll become mighty sour and
discontented if she's forced to do so for an unreasonable length of
time. She'll either try to force a change in the family fortunes after
a certain period, or she'll graudally retreat into the dismal world of
the gray lizard, outwardly accepting and almost seeming to enjoy
poverty, but inwardly intenesely bitter.
She'll
be possessive but she won't want to be possessed. One of the worst
traits of both male and female Scorpios is a refusal to see any view
point but their own when the emotions are involved.
It takes weeks of introspection to bring them around to a semblance of humility.
Her
natural interest in the opposite sex, even if it remains platonic, may
give you as much reason to be jealous of her as she is of you. She'll
probably fascinate every male in sight on occasion, and you may have to
sit by while they're mesmerized. It seldom leads to anything serious,
but it can cause some uncomfortable moments. It can also lead to some
explosive disagreements. In the heat of battle, it pays to remember
that her compulsion to even the score usually makes her the winner in
any kind of skirmish. She gets the last word. If
you tell her a lie, she may tell two. If you stubbornly refuse to kiss
her good-bye in the morning after a tiff, she may refuse to kiss you
goodnight for a month. Just let your
mother (or anybody's mother) criticize her cooking, and the Scorpio
woman may forget to invite her to dinner for several Sundays in a row.
An accidental injury, however, she'll forgive, if she knows it's
unintentional.
The Scorpio sense of justice is as strong as the sense of revenge.
Most people forget this. She'll remember every kindness and give you back double for that, tool. It works both ways.
when rOles must be played Scorpio women have a scornful contempt for members of their sex who
flop in the roles of
sweetheart, wife and mother,
once they're stuck with the parts.
A Pluto girl will control her desire to dominate, while she gives
glorious performance of womanhood, and she'll do it with more finess
than the masculine Aries, Leo, or Sagittarius girl.
With
the children her expression of love may lack a certain tenderness and
open demonstration, but the youngsters will probably sense her deep
devotion and feel emotionally secure anyway.
A
Scorpio mother won't let the talents of her children go unnoticed or
gather dust. She'll spend many an hour encouraging them toward higher
goals, and be willing to provide any support they need.
Her
offspring will find her strong and helpful when youthful problems
arise, because her knowledge of human nature makes her a wise couselor.
She'll teach them to meet difficulties with her own courage. But
she can be blind to their faults, an attitude which can naturally cause
a lot of trouble if it isn't recognized and checked in time.
Anyone she imagines is a threat to the happiness of her children, in any way, however small, will be crushed,
and I'm afraid that includes her husband. She won't appreciate it if he's stricter with them than she thinks he ought to be.
A
Scorpio woman will sometimes nearly drown you in her passion for
living, yet in a real storm, her cool, calm reason and steely strength
will be a life raft. Though she works her magic in strange and secret
ways , her haunting eyes will always gaze at you with basic honesty,
even while she remains just beyond the reach of human understanding.
She's
a little dangerous, perhaps, but undeniably exciting. Let other
husbands cope with the flighty girls. You've known the compelling
mystery of a lovely witch who brews a pretty good cup of tea and never
burns your toast.
Well, almost never.
When the cup is empty, let her read the tea leaves for you.
She can - if she wants to.
You mean you didn't know?
I told you there are things she keeps to herself...
