Aquarius, you're the opinionated humanitarians who carry around a soapbox to lecture to the world. You make many acquaintances but only have a few intimate friends. You have an innate desire to understand the universe and the reason behind everything. Filled with nervous energy, nature is your panacea. You debunk rules, love books and intellectual challenges. You're usually light years ahead of everyone else.

When you are positive, you're spontaneous, innovative, rebellious, progressive, intuitive, driven by the need for freedom, original and detached.

When you are negative, you can be erratic, cold, dictatorial, egotistical, explosive, cunning and temperamental.
           
Occupations you excel in will give you some form of freedom. You could be an astrologer, astronomer, airline pilot or astronaut, an electrician, hypnotist, writer, master debater, ecologist, photographer, inventor, reformer, media personality, speaker, energy healer or scientist.

Scorpio, you're the power house of the zodiac. You exude power, and have a deep seated need to be in control. You intensely search for clues to discover what the real cause of things. 

Intuitively you know other people's most vulnerable emotional buttons and when in your negative nature you use this to your advantage.  

Scorpio is the only sign in the zodiac that has three levels. First is the Scorpion which tends to blame everyone else for its failures. During this level you have a tendency to manipulate others emotionally to get whatever you want. Second stage is the Phoenix where you begin to take responsibility for your own actions. The third level is eagle where you view all things from the level  of soul. 

When you are scorpions, you are controlling, vengeful, possessive, obsessive, sadistic, phobic, suspicious, stubborn, opinionated, sarcastic, temperamental and underhanded. When you are eagles, you are affectionate, penetrating, magnetic, probing, confidential,  shrewd, determined, creative, passionate, intensely aware.

You excel as detectives, healers, chemists, researchers, pathologists, secret agents, assassins, mystery writers, funeral parlor owners, morticians, occultists, tax collectors, auditors, estate executors, trustees, mortgage brokers, loan sharks, surgeons, reproductive specialists, gynecologists, intimacy counselors, psychotherapists, hypnotists, magicians, politicians, embezzlers, plumbers, pornographers, explosive experts, miners and coroners.
