Good gawd I should have known, Jack...Scorpio!!!


No wonder you're so intense!


Too bad you were too chicken to give me your actual birthdate though, or we could have really got down to the nitty gritty!




I'll let you know some general stuff about your sign shortly...


: )

[The Hollyberry Lady]

Ok Jack, here it is...

Scorpio Astrology October 23 - November 21

Scorpio Strength Keywords:

- Loyal
- Passionate
- Resourceful
- Observant
- Dynamic

Scorpio Weakness Keywords:

- Jealous
- Obsessive
- Suspicious
- Manipulative
- Unyielding

Scorpio and Independence:

Scorpios are fiercely independent. They are able to accomplish anything they put their mind to and they won't give up. They are perfectly suited to being on their own. They are not social butterflies like some other zodiac signs and some actually prefer to live on their own that way there is never any issue of who controls what at home, they like to be in control.

Scorpio and Friendship:

Relationships with Scorpio are always complicated, just like the person, their relationships are a series of extremes, they can even be downright moody for no apparent reason. Scorpios are known for their possessiveness and jealousy but on the other hand, they are extremely loyal. Scorpios have an excellent memory and combined with an inability to let things go, they can hold a grudge against someone who did them harm forever, in fact a Scorpio rarely if never forgives and forgets. They will even go as far as get vengeance on the person. On the other hand, they will always remember a kind gesture forever and repay it. Any kind selfless gesture done to a Scorpio will gain trust and respect which is extremely important to them in any relationship, either romantic or not. The best advice is to be honest with a Scorpio friend and in return, you will gain an amazing friend you will never forget and who will be loyal to you and never make false promises. Their truthful and shocking sense of humor if different than that of any other zodiac sign and the Scorpio makes an amazing, powerful interesting friend that can be trusted.

Scorpio and Business:

Scorpios make excellent doctors, surgeons, scientists and leaders, they are perfectly suited to any form of business that makes a difference in the world, greatly impacts people and society and a most importantly, Scorpio has to be in a power position, this is why these careers are suited to the Scorpio, they all demand one person in supreme control giving orders and leading a unit of people/practices. In business, Scorpios tend to easily gather wealth, they make very wise business decisions and they are very conservative about spending their money. Scorpios are known for making money and hiding it, they will not announce it due to to fear that others will take the same route and becoming a possible competitor, or worse try to use the Scorpio to their advantage to use them for their money.

Scorpio and Temperament:

Scorpios are extremely ambitious, persistent and determined which is shown through a power hungry, controlling attitude. Not in a stubborn sense however, because a Scorpio will work for what they want and control will justified reasons. This is obvious to any onlooker. A Scorpio never gives up, they are so determined to reach their goal. The key to this success is their flexibility. They are able to re-survey a situation and take a different approach if necessary. This makes them very adaptable and versatile. Scorpios are fierce competitors, combined with their powers of observation and their excellent memory, they will recall facts and when necessary, bring them to the table at the time of need. They will win justly, with proper facts and arguments to support their thoughts and opinions. Scorpios are excellent at restoring order to a chaotic situation and they are just as capable of manipulating for their own greed and benefit. The un-evolved Scorpio is a very dangerous person because they use their powers to benefit only them and step on other people in order to satisfy their own greed.

Scorpio Deep Inside:

Scorpio is the most misunderstood of all astrology signs. They are all about intensity and contradictions. They like to be aware of a situation and always know what's going on, figuring this out with their probing mind, on the other hand, they are interested in the occult, the paranormal, conspiracy theories and other types of similar unknown mysteries. They are very capable of hiding their true feelings and motivations, they often have ulterior motives or a hidden agenda.

Scorpios are all about control, they need to be in control at all times. To be out of control is very threatening, even dangerous to the Scorpio's psyche, when they control, they feel safe.

Scorpios are very intensely emotional, their emotions are intensified, both good emotions and bad. Negative emotions of jealousy and resentment are hallmarks of this turbulent astrology sign. On the other side, Scorpios are well known for their forceful and powerful drive to succeed and their amazing dedication. Scorpios are constantly trying to understand their emotions through finding a deeper purpose in life.

Scorpios are very intuitive, but not as in a psychic sense, more as intuitive into the human mind, they have a great understanding of the mystery and the power of the human mind.

Scorpios have a fear of failure which they keep hidden extremely well, should their confrontation not be successful, or their career fail, they will simply use their adaptive skill to quickly move and and leave the bad experience behind. Do not ever expect them to fess up or share their tale with anyone however because this shows signs of weakness and Scorpio always wins, they are always the self-proclaimed best! One of the reasons they seem like they always accomplish their goals is because they set tangible short-term goals that they know they can accomplish, they know what they are capable of and this is what they go for.

Scorpios are very weary about trusting anyone, a person needs to gain their trust and this gets built up over time and once all the 'trust tests' have been passed, Scorpio loves deeply and intensely. Underneath the cool exterior, energies and emotions are constantly flowing but the Scorpio deals with this be channeling this into useful activities, hobbies, relationships or a career. This is never apparent to the outside observer but knowing this fact explains why Scorpios are so passionate about whatever it is that they are undertaking. Scorpios have powerful instincts and they trust their own gut feeling which is another reason why a Scorpio seldom fails.

The ongoing lesson in life for those born under the Scorpio zodiac signs, is to channel their powerful energy into positive goals and not succumbing to the darker forces in life such as manipulation and greed, they will then have great success in their life and have a clean, happy conscience and a circle of friends they can trust and hold dear to them.

Scorpio in a Nutshell:

Scorpio is the astrology sign of extremes and intensity. Scorpios are very deep, intense people, there is always more then meets the eye. They present a cool, detached and unemotional air to the world yet lying underneath is tremendous power, extreme strength, intense passion and a strong will and a persistent drive. Scorpios have a very penetrative mind, do not be surprised if they ask questions, they are trying to delve deeper and figure things out and survey the situation. They always want to know why, where and any other possible detail they can possibly know. Scorpio's are very weary of the games that other people try to play and they are very aware of it. Scorpios tend to dominate and control anyone that lets them, or anyone that they find weak. The person that a Scorpio respects and holds close to them is treated with amazing kindness, loyalty and generosity. On the outside, a Scorpio has great secretiveness and mystery. This magnetically draws people to them. They are known to be controlling and too ambitious but only because they need control for this makes them feel safe.

[CoryS]

LOL Sherr! Just joking! Can't egg houses and get candy! And the houses around here look too awesome anyway!

Hey Jack! Pagan holidays? You mean like Samhain, Beltane, Yule, and Ostara? The Romans had a holiday called Saturnalia that was kind of like Yule!

A few Halloween "unegged" photos, LOL!

[The Hollyberry Lady]

Good gawd Cory, please don't get Jack started!


We just found out he's a Scorpio too, so let's just keep it light!


A Scorpio wouldn't know how to keep it light if they tried!


Cool shots, Cory!

Good to know too, you weren't out egg bombing people's windows!


: )

[CoryS]

LOL! Thanks about the shots! We'll prolly have more windows decorated before Halloween night! And lit up! And no way on egging, LOL! He who eggs gets egged! ... Well...
Awesome shots you guyz did! That blue moon totally rocks!

[Jack Daw]

Holly, "weaknesses" from your list about scorpios and how you have to see them, once you realize what world you live in:

- Jealous agreed
- Obsessive positive
- Suspicious positive/neutral
- Manipulative definitely positive
- Unyielding don't know what that is - that's not me.

Scorpios make excellent doctors, surgeons, scientists

Luckily, phew...

They always want to know why, where and any other possible detail they can possibly know (agreed). Scorpios are very weary of the games that other people try to play and they are very aware of it (once they are trained in it, everybody sees that). Scorpios tend to dominate and control anyone that lets them, or anyone that they find weak. The person that a Scorpio respects and holds close to them is treated with amazing kindness, loyalty and generosity (agreed). On the outside, a Scorpio has great secretiveness and mystery. This magnetically draws people to them (or, more usually, the other way around, ay? ).

[The Hollyberry Lady]

Jack...


Unyielding would be endurance & steadfastness. It's kind of a good quality, or at least it can be if used that way.


Keep in mind these are only general descriptions and it can also be the way someone is only some of the time...not ALL of the time, if you see what I mean.


With Scorpio though, there is usually no grey areas, they are generally either good or bad. When you meet a bad Scorpio though, my advice is to run like hell!


Gotta go for a bit, but be back later...



P.S. Thanks about the blue moon shot, Cory. I love it too!


: )

[Jack Daw]

Yeah, I've always seen myself as a rapid, high frequency sine function.

Holly, you forgot to look at the Chinese calendar and tell me, what Snake means and than combine that together, what you get. Really funny! I'm the worst of the worst possible combinations for some things.

Enjoy the grocery store!


Cory, those brickhouses remind me of the Great Britain, yuk.

[The Hollyberry Lady]

I promise I will later, Jack...


My Chinese sign is TIGER!



For the record, I am not going to the grocery store!


I'm going to meet up with my bf for awhile. I'll be back later to tell you all about your Chinese sign...


Have a good day going about your "usual business" ...whatever that could be, Jack.


I see now why I've been kind of curious about you...Mr mysterious Scorpio! I've seen you logged on here for so long but didn't really know too much about you. Kinda cool to get to know people on a bit of a more personal level.


I like this thread.


Chat soon...


: )

[drew leonard]

That was my favorite Sherry.

Always made me want to smile and act a fool!

[The Hollyberry Lady]

Yeah Drew, it is a silly one but a good tune as well.



Jack...



Before I sign off for awhile, I just had to give you a friendly reminder, to mind that sharp Scorpion tongue of yours and keep it nice...


like I know you can do.


There could be people from Britain on the site and we don't want to offend anyone. I'm like you though Jack, and have a lot of strong opinions and beliefs about certain things, so don't get me wrong.


However, when on a public site, we must be careful with the words we choose, so we don't offend or hurt others unnecessarily. Things can look especially bad in typed print, because people can't hear our voice or tone and fully understand what we mean, or know how to take us.


Let's just all try to be careful is what I'm saying, and let's please try be thoughtful about how we express ourselves. I am guilty of it myself so I will try to make sure I don't say anything too outrageous either.


I really want this thread to stay nice, so we might enjoy it for a long time. It could be really cool if we all practice respect and diplomacy.


I have always loved the old saying...


"Do onto others as you would have them do onto to you"


I'd like it if that rule could apply in this thread especially. No fun when things get ugly and nasty. Just thought it needed to be said since more and more people are joining and are continually chatting.


Thanks for your co-operation you guys!



Hope everyone enjoys their Saturday. I'll be back later...

LOL! I'm glad I'm not a brickhouse! But you'd prolly say "yuk" anyway if you could see my Halloween costume! That's what I really like about you though, you're always soooo honest! I hope you're having an awesome time celebrating the things you celebrate! I'm having an awesome time celebrating Samhain!

Somebody's got to tell them about benefits of putting some layers on those bricks. Don't worry, this is not anything against the people, Ukrainians leave their houses without any external layers too (or they did a decade ago), but it's just terrible... to see a street full of houses built of old bricks.... and what I could swear is that many of those bricks even in the new houses are recycled! And they don't match the new ones in most of the cases...

Those are just strange architectonical practices.

Big colonial house in a modern house street is less of a pain, than brickhouses anywhere... anytime.

It was a trend here too at some point in the past, but most of those people were forced to/penalized by the local administrative offices, that they decided to at least paint them.




THere's only one architectonical attrocity that can actually compete with brickhouses... and it's a socialist solution to living: welcome to paradise:

[CoryS]

Yeah, can anyone say "MONOTONY"? LOL!
There's def toooooo many bricks! I see bricks all the time, i even dream about bricks!
That's why I like camping so much, no bricks!





On the happier side, autumn!



Btw, I just took these photos for this thread!
I want a WOODEN cottage by a lake!

[saltydad]

Hey Jack, hallo from another Scorpio here!

[Jananas Bananas]

Make that three, Howard and Jack! I too am a Scorpio and my Chinese year is the Snake! So I will be watching for the Snake info as well.
