To be honest, I find many of the descriptions of Scorpios (of which I am) to be quite fitting. Tonight I will be featuring excerpts from different horoscopes, some which fit me and others that don�t. Once I am done examining my horoscope, I will move onto those of my chums.
First, a description of my personality from a magazine my mother bought today, �Woman�s World.�
Your Scorpio Child
What makes her so special: Her spiritual connection with others! Scorpios are emotional and sensitive; when she was an infant, you probably felt like she could read your mind � and you�ll maintain that strong psychic bond with her throughout her life.
How you can help her: She can be very critical of herself, so tell her often how fantastic she is. Scorpios can feel left out, so block out special times for just the two of you.
What�s ahead: As teens, Scorpios tend to be secretive, but don�t worry; once she decides what she really wants out of life, she�ll inform you of her plans � and will make her dreams come true on her own!
In this particular case, the so-called defining characteristics of a Scorpio are rather broad. For instance, most teenagers are quite secretive with their parents, and everyone is a little critical of himself or herself. On the other hand, many of those traits are especially true of me; I�m very self-critical, very much of an introvert (er�secretive), and extremely sensitive.
Here�s one, from rrtearoom.com:
Scorpio Mythology
The sign Scorpio is symbolized by the Scorpion. Your sign's element is Water. Scorpio is ruled by the planet Pluto. You are very intense, strong willed, determined and secretive. Nothing escapes your attention. Scorpio can let tensions build to the exploding point. Investigation and research play a big part in your life. Scorpio is a deep thinker with a fine mind. You love a good fight, and then wonder why the other person is angry. Scorpio is forceful and courageous. Scorpio is usually interested in anything that has to do with the occult.
Possible negative aspects of the sign Scorpio:You can be willful, vindictive, jealous, sullen, bitter and sarcastic. You can have a temper. You may misuse sex.
Oh, goodness. That line saying, �You love a good fight, and then wonder why the other person is angry,� is true to an unholy amount. It made me giggle. The rest pretty well fits to a �T� as well, although I don�t know that I misuse sex�I�ll have to ask Brandon?
Here�s a small piece from all-that-gifts.com, which I will only share because I think it sounds rather like me:
Scorpios and Love:
Love is a continuous struggle for Scorpions. They are sexually uninhibited, yet at the same time, they are often mentally suspicious and rather fearful. This means that they are constantly trying to unite the physical and spiritual sides of love with a mixture of eroticism and purity. Sadly, this means they are rarely satisfied.
Here�s a good bit from astrology-insight.com:
Scorpio does have a problem with jealousy sometimes, and they really do have to work on it. Most of them will require proof before actually accusing, but some will go with their instinct. Since they are so intuitive, sometimes they "know" without proof, so if you are with a Scorpio, stay true or get out, because your secret (if you have one) will not stay secret for long.
Lastly, here are a few different excerpts from my favorite online horoscope site, astrology-online.com.
�[Scorpios] tenacity and willpower are immense, their depth of character and passionate conviction overwhelming, yet they are deeply sensitive and easily moved by their emotions. Their sensitivity, together with a propensity for extreme likes and dislikes make them easily hurt, quick to detect insult or injury to themselves (often when none is intended) and easily aroused to ferocious anger. This may express itself in such destructive speech or action that they make lifelong enemies by their outspokenness, for they find it difficult not to be overly critical of anything or anyone to whom they take a dislike�
They are fortunate in that their strong reasoning powers are tempered with imagination and intuition, and these gifts, together with critical perception and analytical capacity, can enable the Scorpions to penetrate to profundities beyond the average. They have a better chance of becoming geniuses than the natives of any other sign. But charismatic "twice-born" characters such as they can sink into the extremes of depravity if they take the wrong path, and the intensity of their nature exaggerates their harmful tendencies into vices far greater than the normal. Rebelliousness against all conventions, political extremism to the point where hatred of the Establishment makes them utterly unscrupulous terrorists. Brooding resentment, aggressive and sadistic brutality, total arrogance, morbid jealousy, extreme volatility of temperament, these are some of their vices. At the other extreme is the procrastinator, the man or woman who is capable of so much that they do nothing and become indolent and self-indulgent, requiring extravagant praise and flattery from those whom they make their cronies.
Any profession in which analysis, investigation, research, dealing with practicalities, and the solving of mysteries are relevant, can appeal to them. So police and detective work, espionage and counterespionage, the law, physics or psychology may attract them, and they can become masters of the written and spoken word.
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".
Possible Health Concerns:
Scorpio governs the pelvis and reproductive and urinary systems and its subjects are said to be prone to ailments of the liver and kidneys, stones and gravel in the bladder or genitals, and other genital ills such as priapism. Abscesses, boils, carbuncles, fistulas, piles, ruptures and ulcers may also affect the Scorpions.
Huh�ulcers.

- Hidden Causes
- Being involved
- Work That is Meaningful
- Being Persuasive
Dislikes:
- Being given only surface data
- Being taken advantage of
- Demeaning jobs
- Shallow relationships
- Flattery and flattering
Problems that may arise for you, and their solutions:
Problem - Suffering from an inferior complex where you feel self disgust and are disdainful of help from others.
Solution - You should try to admit that others, as well as yourself, have weakness and then practice forgiving those weaknesses until you notice them becoming less and less. Unbend and accept that you can be helped in your problems.
Ahem. Now that I have severely bored my readers with my horoscope, although I find it fascinating, I think I�ve come to this conclusion: your date of birth does not necessarily dictate your personality. I�m just one of the lucky ones who�s horoscope almost fits them perfectly. Others are the opposite; for instance, I was looking up Christy�s sign and it said, on every one, that she is supposed to be uber bossy. That�s the farthest thing from the truth.
Since Christy�s horoscope is just wrong, I�m not going to even bother with it. And instead of looking at the supposed traits of Brandon, I�m going to look at what all of these sites say about our compatibility instead.
From astrology-online.com:
This is a very hard combination to analyze. With scoripo's strong and powerful personality, Capricorn may clash, fighting for the last word when it comes to important decisions pertaining to family welfare. Capricorn can be mighty disagreeable when frustrated, and Scorpio will have to use the sting of the scorpian barb to move the Capricorn goat from a set course. The emotional incompatibility usually becomes unbearable for the combination to handle.
For practical matters there are common traits, but the stubborn nature of both signs could make them enemies when things get down and dirty.
From astrology-insight.com:
The best match up for these two in the zodiac. Keep jealousy and games out of the picture or lose your best companion forever. Capricorn gets better with age and is very much attracted to a prestigious lifestyle. Scorpio needs to understand how important success is to Capricorn and Capricorn needs to be less judgmental of Scorpio.
These two can not only understand one another extremely well, but can actually match sensitivities and emotions, almost (if not actually) on a psychic level. A very long lasting relationship, these two seldom ever break up.
Huh. I�ve looked at several sites (most whose descriptions were adequate enough for me), and I�ve found a varying degree of results. Some are, �This is definitely not a match made in Heaven,� while others say, �A Scorpios best match is a Capricorn.�
I guess it�s up to us than, huh? Damn. I do so hate doing my own thinking.
You know, I should start my own business and hire based on astrological signs. Only hire those that I will get along with and that will be obedient to me.
On a different note, my stomach is bothering me once again. It�s starting to hurt worse and worse, and I can�t tell what triggered today�s attack. Well, yes I can; Brandon and I got into it again before he left for work [and on his way to work], and that left me feeling icky for the rest of the night.
Icky�? Shit, I need sleep.
