Sometimes when I tell people stories about what’s happening with me they seem shocked. Which surprises me.
I think Scorpio has the ability to deal with some serious issues and doesn’t bat an eye. But when you tell your story the reaction can be unexpected.
What’s the craziest thing that’s happened to you? I think our “crazy” is very intense compared to other signs.
What houses or fragrances are you tired of seeing recommended here? Just over hyped and don’t live up to it, or problematic in some way?
Mine are Heretic and Amouage. Heretic because they honestly last as long as it takes for me to find it in my purse. In addition I don’t find them to be that incredible on their blending and overall DNA. I know a lot of people IRL who wear this house and complain about longevity. Yet they constantly are pushed here.
Amouage is more that the owner is problematic. Royal family of Oman who is directly responsible for human rights abuses including trafficking migrants and forcing them into basically slave labor. Why do these people need my money again? Also rumored to be affiliated with Epstein. They are actually being pulled from a lot of retailers around me and my fragrance swap group won’t allow them to be traded. There’s a lot of houses with bad politics but this is next level as they literally have the power in a small nation.
What are yours?
I’m a mom who is very involved in the youth pageant and dance scene. Long ago I aspired to be a Victorias Secret Angel but the closest I got was a gift card at Christmas after starting my family early. I’m pregnant with my first girl and I’m determined that she should achieve what I always wanted to.
I’m thinking longer - 4 syllables or more and more exotic is what I need to go for (exotic like Italian or French) in order that whenever anyone looks at my daughter they naturally think “she’s going to walk the runway in wings and a sparkly bra one day.” I like Isabella but it’s so common. I don’t want people to confuse my daughter with someone who isn’t runway ready. Adriana is an option but already has namesake I could do a unique spelling— Adriaynnna maybe. Cosabella is an actual underwear brand so that’s promising! Gabriella? Alessandra? Arabella? Mirabella? What’s going to be the best name to ensure that my child is immediately seen as the model I always wanted to be? And is there a name I can choose that seems like it will portray tallness?
A flavor; what would it be?
A smell; what would it smell like?
A texture; what would it be like to touch?
A sound; what is it?
I was just in a deep rabbit hole on a name forum and I got to thinking about this. Nameberry has astrological name lists but I never agree with them. Drop your sun and moon with your favorites!
(Not having a baby or anything. I just like researching names because I’m weird like that.)
This was my reasoning!
Aries: aggressive and choosing violence on the most direct way. Not fucking around!
Taurus: tradition, love of natural surroundings but there’s something very wrong under the surface you just don’t suspect,
Gemini: you don’t know exactly what you’re gonna get and it can turn on a dime.
Cancer. In these films they always want things to be ok for so long that they ignore very serious issues until it’s too late. Plus Cancer rules the stomach and these are usually stomach churning. ETA: runner up— Witches.
Leo. Drama! Costumes and big hair. Ancestral curses. Spectacle with something rotten underneath.
Virgo: meticulously crafted characters who are frightening in both their charm and danger.
Libra. I had a hard time with this. I arrived at the following: the mainstay of the home invasion movie is that the protagonist never understands how dangerous it is at first and tries to reason their way out of it (Funny Games.) The most Libra horror movie is Speak No Evil (original) but I couldn’t really find a social interaction horror trope.
Scorpio- I hate that I picked vampires but it’s true. Longing, dark sexuality, humor and eternal feelings.
Sag: foreign locations and misunderstanding the intent of the locals. Thinking there’s a way out…
Capricorn: they would survive the zombie apocalypse. They just keep going. Able to make difficult and terrible decisions.
Aquarius: they are the aliens of the zodiac.
Pisces: these are the folks who have fluid boundaries with other worlds and entities.
I love how creative these prompts can be! But every now and again I’m scratching my head thinking “why does someone want to smell that way? What occasion would be appropriate for that?” And sometimes the photos are really funny or strange.
What’s in your all timer odd prompts?
In this version of his character? (The best IMHO).
Big Leo energy (de Lioncourt?) but also kinda Sag trauma kid? I know everyone thinks Scorpio is a vampire (yawn) and maayybbe he has a Scorpio moon but I don’t get that vibe necessarily.
I often hear this is prescribed for 12H people. I went down a rabbit hole with my chart in different areas and I have so many conjunctions (all inner planets and sun moon asc in the same sign, Scorpio ) that it seemed like it would not necessarily help anything.
I’m American currently on the east coast and moving to the Pacific Northwest seemed to move my Saturn out of my 8H and into 9H but it changed my mid heaven from Leo to Virgo which at this point on my career isn’t ideal. So perhaps I’d be better off in Europe? (Not that it would be easy given the current administration making enemies with everyone.)
Anyone move far far away? What happened?
This is my list- what’s yours? (In no particular order..)
Think that I should chase/tell me how popular you are.
Hot and cold. I need consistent behavior or I’m gonna dig to see why I’m not getting it.
Not intellectually curious. Watch a lot of reality tv or sports for example and don’t read ever.
Controlling.
Competes with me or has jealousy issues when I’ve had success.
Super traditional gender role ideas. Not respectful of women, not an ally of lgbtqi.
Vanilla only sex.
A food obsessed person. Just won’t shut up about eating.
Hobosexuals
Too invested in what their parents think when they are late 30s or older adults and need that approval to make decisions. (Same with exes, kids, etc.)
Aren’t good at their jobs or take work somewhat seriously
Lie about stupid stuff that I would not care about and treat me like I won’t see it.
Any hint of racism
Bad kisser
Not emotionally aware. Can’t name their feelings and talk about them.
And personally for me but not necessarily extending to other Scorpios— too tall! I filter out people once they hit 6 feet lol. I’m 5’3 and once lived with someone 6’5. It was like having a horse in my house.
Feel free to add your own! Just for fun.
Aries- fun and brave but stuck in pursuit mode. Quickest way to kill the vibe is to have a relationship. Great female friends if you don’t want to be the center of attention.
Taurus- slow and repetitive AF. Often loud and wrong. Immovable objects. Too damn food and body ache obsessed.
Gemini- not the most trustworthy BUT the best to take to a drag brunch or a big party. Always knows everyone. Cannot resist drama.
Cancer- always gotta be the good guy even when they are objectively wrong. Mama obsessed. Best to talk to. They don’t initiate as much as join. Give great hugs.
Leo- want people to comment on how well they are doing even if it’s objectively false- the flattery is the endgame. Often very empty and self doubting. Not big risk takers. Regret is their biggest problem they won’t admit.
Virgo- low key the kinkiest sign (and I include my 6 Scorpio placement self). Unexpectedly dominant. Really good with house plants. Withering commentary. Ruthless editors. Can be petty or a ride or die. No inbetween. And they are judging your competence, in every situation, always.
Libra- the least reliable but seems like it would be the most reliable. So good with effusive charm and compliments. “Nice”defined but personality changes based on who they are around. People want to be them more than Leo (Leo hates this.)
Scorpio- makes being misunderstood an art form. Secretly believe they are better than everyone (sometimes not so secretly) because they see all the shit people hide. Moody AF. The best or worst person you have ever met. (Sometimes both.)
Sagittarius- like a Scorpio who lost their life lessons and is just trying to outrun trauma. Presents a totally different face to the world than their actual personality. Low key the most judgmental sign but it’s wrapped up in a fun package.
Capricorn- so secretly yearning for adventure but just grinding away. Can be dull AF if they don’t tap into their authenticity. Always looking for a better deal.
Aquarius- as detached as Scorpio believes they are. Sometimes their fashion choices are not as fun as they think but they don’t care. Honestly the women are the best vibe bringers at parties I kid you not.
Pisces - those delusional MFs can get it but they are like loving a soap bubble— beautiful but impossible to pin down. The most likely to lie to protect feelings. Like Cancer, great to talk to, but unlike Cancer, sex is more imaginative.
I had lost 45 or so pounds to get to the upper end of my BMI healthy range with diet and swimming laps in 2022. It took about a year of extremely hard work. I kept it off for the last few years. My physical a few months ago showed I had gained back about ten pounds that I lost even though my diet was exactly the same and activity level had increased. This was most likely due to hormone fluctuations of perimenopause. I broke down crying and my doctor (finally) put me on the Wegovy pill. (I had asked for it early on and she refused.)
This is going into my 3rd month and I’ve lost about 9lbs. I’m only on 4mg a day. I have ZERO energy. I want to take a daily nap. I don’t have other side effects I’ve noticed except for a faint and persistent nausea. I also can’t drink much at all without getting sick.
I don’t realistically want to lose another 20 lbs but I’m fine with about 5-10 more. I’m afraid to increase the dosage due to the side effects.
Is fatigue just a way of life now?
I’m ashamed to realize that my romantic life has been dominated (for over 2 decades!) by limerence with this individual (I’m blue and he’s red.) This came to a head recently when it was clear he’s still very much involved with someone he claims not to be involved with, because I offered to have him move in. We have an intense connection and he’s using me as an emotional crutch at the moment. Our on again off again relationship has been a major component of my adult life. We imprinted on one another quite young.
Though I think of him as my Great Love it’s definitely unrequited. He’s looking to cheat when he’s bored and I won’t do it. When he has me he’s unable to commit and we move on from one another.
I’m facing the reality that this is just a lesson for me and one that’s taken very long to learn. I wonder if anyone else with 12H placements has a similar experience with limerence? Or if anything stands out about this particular chart?
I’m curious. There’s a few popping up and I always wonder which signs are attracted to them. Why would you use one or why not? And if you have, drop your experience.
Don’t ask. This is just where I’m at.
Mine was probably yesterday. I cry all the time. I’m probably due for one this evening.
Yet no one knows this. My crying is private.
We have been circling one another since college. We are at mid life now. I’m Scorpio and blue, he’s Pisces and orange.
I invited him to come and live with me. We talk daily and have an almost psychic connection. He would not have to make any sort of career move or anything like that, but he claims he “can’t leave” his “roommate” (his live in girlfriend) because she has had surgery on her toe, her ankle etc. (she’s heavy and has a lot of orthopedic issues.) He has expressed interest in an affair many times because they are “not physically together” (🙄🙄) but I won’t. If he is ready to move out and start a life together I’m down. But no cheating.
Offering my space is a big deal, and having it rejected after decades of being involved off and on, is just enough. I have the deepest connection with him I’ve ever had with anyone but I just can’t keep doing this to myself.
I need to say goodbye to this relationship and person and move on. I love him deeply and always will, but you can’t make someone love you back. I think he’s not totally honest with himself or anyone else either.
Three synastry charts for my major relationships. I posted about feeling used and was encouraged to explore themes. So here we go. I’m blue in these. All ascendants are accurate.
Number two
Number three
ETA number one was cut off. Most recent relationship. Not responsible. Drinking problems but super fun and great to talk to. No sex life to speak of and kinda lazy /wanted a mom.
What are major themes or aspects you see? What should I avoid?
I have a chronic mental health issue that I was diagnosed with as a teen and honestly can’t remember ever NOT dealing with, even as a very young child. I manage it through a variety of therapies. I’m a fully functioning adult with a lot of responsibilities despite this hurdle. I don’t talk about it much because it’s always been part of my landscape. As I see it, it’s not anyone’s business.
Recently I was talking with someone online and the first thing they mentioned to me was a diagnosis. They had put it on public facing profiles (I noticed later) and it seemed to be very much a part of their conversation about themselves. I was a little taken aback because I didn’t know them well and though this is not anything to be ashamed of, it’s just not something I was used to hearing about immediately. I found out this individual was a fire sign (sun.)
I started noticing everywhere that people add diagnosis information to profiles online whether is dating or just random information. There’s something about this that feels very uncomfortable to me because I would never share this detail with the internet at large.
I realize this may be a me problem but I’m wondering if any other Scorpios feel this way? I’m sun asc moon Venus Mercury Mars.
