Scorpio, you're the power houses of the zodiac. You exude power, have a deep seated need to be in control and get to the cause of things. Intuitively you know other people's most vulnerable emotional buttons and when in your negative nature 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.
