Many say that Scorpio is a fearless sign I would say quite the opposite. For some reason I am able to make them experiance fear very easily rather I do it on purpose or not. Just yesterday I met a new Scorpio friend. He was totally awesome and friendly until I was pressured by everyone to give a Martial arts demonstration. After he saw me wield the chucks, he went from being totally outgoing and talkative to quite and scared. His face was red, he was breathing heavily, sweating, his adrenaline was pumping. Why? I thought Scorpio's are supposed to be able to see through everyone's intentions. I liked the guy, knew he was a Scorpio, and honestly was just showing off a little. A Martial similarity. I had to put the chucks down because I thought he was gonna have a panic attack. I dunno I'm a Scorpio Rising so it doesn't matter if someone is intimidating or not to me. I look right to the heart of the matter. I'll always know when someone has it out for me, people pretending to my friends and such. I've had this problem before with Scorpio's in the past. Do you guys just have a short adrenal gland?(I guess you can't call adrenaline fear) so to speak. A lot of times it involved accidentally making them sweat, no bad intention, to them taking it to a very personal and brought to a very childish, destructive level. ------------------ Scorpio Rising with Saturn in the 1st house Aries Sun Sagittarius Moon IP: Logged |

I think it might be related to his Mars. Maybe your synastry would have shown some Mars to Mars problematic aspect. Or Sun to Mars. Well, I'm not a guy. Scorpio Sun + Sagittarius Mars. I'm rather adventurous physically and I don't get intimidated easily.

Scorpios come off as pretty fearful to me, perhaps because they sense the darkness in the world more acutely than others do. And they're not particularly good at "seeing through" people and many can be quite paranoid or prone to take things the wrong way. I think they get called fearless because they're more likely to explore aspects of life most of us like to pretend don't exist (as it doesn't make us feel better about ourselves, and perhaps make even more fearful than Scorpio if we dared face it head on) and because of that they can learn to read people better...but that doesn't allow them to "see through people" but rather correctly identify the people who don't mean them well more often (since they expect it anyway). In my observation, truly impressive intuition is as rare for them as anyone else under another sign. I suppose my mom could be called fearless when she did things like push to win Dad's beloved car in court (that Dad was an expert of working on), she showed only cruel delight when she won it. But she showed utter shock and terror when the brakes went out on the highway later, so she wasn't fearless and aware of how Dad would react. IP: Logged |

^^^ Good points. just going to throw in a couple pennies worth. I am not fearless and I think VERY few could say that, if in fact any. I have a certain lack of fear about those things myself. (recklessness, if my brakes went out which actually happened one winter when the line froze and broke,etc). I too can go on and on about topics (death, abuse, etc) that others barely touch on. I won't get into detail. But I'm Leo. I do have Pluto/asc so I'm not sure if that's part of it... Jupiter in 8th, my 12th house stuff. Who knows. I think scorps definitely do fear and if I had to pinpoint one certain area I would guess that they fear the most about being hurt emotionally by others. That fear CAN lead to the jealousy and etc that they are also known for. To me it's driven by fear and those things are attempts to be in control. IP: Logged |

Uh, don't believe the hype. There not that strong, if it bleeds we can kill it -- from the Predator movieBut seriously, all Scorpio's are different like any other sign, just because one Scorpio is The Rock doesn't mean the other one is Sylvester Stallone. One Scorpio may have Mars in Libra afflicted and Pluto afflicted. The other Scorpio may have a Scorpio Mars or with a strong Pluto in 10th and a Mars/Jupiter aspect or Mars/Pluto. Your ruling planet/s will tell you a lot about chart strength. Oh yeah, you have a Aries Sun and Sagittarius Moon that tells me you are a blunt, to the point, take it or leave it type of person. You have a strong Fiery/Mars chart, which just amps up the Scorpio in your chart. The other dude may not have as much "help" in his own chart. IP: Logged |

This is the vibe I get too. The know how bad the world can be. For someone truly fearless I I would go with sag. I think you need to be pretty optimistic or believe that you are invincible to be fearless. Bravery is different I could see a Scorpio being brave. They got a lot of intestinal fortitude. People think I'm very brave and fearless but really that's just me being a head in the clouds Aquarius. When you're not really grounded in reality, real things don't scare you as much as they should. On the other hand scorpios are very aware of the bad scary things. I've never had very Scorpio heavy people be able to read me well. It's like they see what they want to see. I'm kind of the paranoid type so I totally see what you mean. When I get that way I can't see another persons good intentions. IP: Logged |
