Psychosexual Characteristics - Scorpio
Psychosexual Characteristics
Scorpio symbolizes sex.
This sign rules genitals. Do we need to say more? Their brain cells ruled by the aggressive look of Mars give men and women born under this sign a great sexual appetite. No moral restrictions here for Scorpios look on sex as an independent sphere of human relationship, and besides, sex helps them recover strength
Sometimes Scorpio is symbolizes by Phoenix, the mythical bird of fabulous beauty that, as the legend has it, lived for many thousand years in an Arabic desert. It was said to burn itself on a funeral fire, and then rouse from ashes, young and fresh, and lived for many years, and afterwards did the whole ritual over again. This is precisely the sexual cycle of Scorpios. They burn themselves away by active sexual life, which would weaken any other sign, and then, after their numerous experiences, they come out young and full of expectations.
Among all lovers in the entire zodiac Scorpios are particularly valued. They have certain experience, which helps not only to satisfy a desire, but also to please a partner.
Non-sexual Moves
Scorpio is considered to be one of the most opportunistic zodiac signs. However, some palls suggest, that Cancer, Virgo, and Sagittarius sometimes excel Scorpio in this respect.
Thus, when we speak about non-sexual moves Scorpios use to reach their goals, we mean that they want to get something with the help of sexual activity. Scorpios marry for money and even make sexual dates for business. They usually force themselves into marriage for money, but, at the same time, Scorpios are smart enough to choose a person with whom they are compatible mentally, for they understand the value of a strong mind.
Married Scorpios often have secret love affairs. Still, they hardly ever let these threaten stability of their married life. They can very well manage their love and family life and do it easily, with no obvious constraint.
Scorpios can get their partners involved in a sexual intercourse so cleverly and quietly, that they never realize how it happened until they lose control and get excited.
How to Satisfy Scorpio
How to Satisfy Scorpio
Give them plenty of sex but don't be too hasty.
In early life, Scorpios are very romantic, they like nice music and soft light. Later they can become wilder and find bright lights with mirrors much more exciting. Their husbands or wives must be neat and clean. They must try to be still more attractive with the help of different perfumes, for these Venus moves excite Scorpios.
In some of their love affairs Scorpios can tolerate not a very clean partner. They feel that on the lower level, a forbidden sexual intercourse gives more pleasure when you feel the breaking of bonds of marriage. This gives them a special kind of satisfaction.
Positive Qualities
Those born under the sign of Scorpio are always faithful mentally, even if they have a love affair with someone else. They are also very loyal to some of their friends (Scorpios don't have a lot of them) but demand the same kind of loyalty in return for theirs.
At home Scorpios create a "protective" atmosphere: like generals of Mars protect the castle from the whole world.
Scorpios perfectly provide for the family, they are very smart in business. Women born under this sign often hold managerial positions. They are wonderful parents, although a bit too severe and demanding. Scorpios will work hard together with their co-workers, and they are usually never late for anything.
Negative Qualities
Scorpios spare no effort in this race for success, which is physically and morally exhausting. Then they often make other people suffer. Although, some clever Scorpios choose such partners that help them avoid these extremes.
Extreme jealousy and possessiveness are other negative traits of a Scorpio-born woman. This is usually a wife of a spying kind that needs to know her husband's whereabouts any time.
Scorpios are very vengeful and still feel hurt long after the misunderstanding. It was said before, that Scorpios are not always perfect friends, unless they care to be. But they can very easily become your most wicked enemies
Scorpio Love Economics
Love Economics
Scorpios shouldn't enter the game of love economy too often. They are physically attractive and are very popular with women. They often have several affairs at a time.
An old Scoprio is another thing. Because a Scorpio plans to have an intensive sexual life, he perfectly realizes that when he has ugly white locks in his hair, he will need to have a pretty huge sum of money on a banking account to keep his sexual life going.
Scorpio rules the Eighth House and people born under this sign often choose heir of their fortune. The Eighth House rules financial affairs of other people, especially those of the husband or the wife. Scorpios often outlive their husbands or wives and ripe financial fruits of their achievements.
Thus, we see that Scorpios are well prepared to the old age. And even in the early days, if they find themselves in such a situation that they have to buy what they like, they rarely hesitate even when it comes to selling sex.
Scorpios hardly ever miss an opportunity of business promotion, even if such has to be gained by means of sex. They consider this matter to be a sheer deal. However, they need to be sure that they get what they demand.
Best Matches
Till the age of 29.5 the best matches for a Scorpio are those born under the signs of Cancer and Pisces. The 3 Water signs are extremely emotional at this age. Sometimes Scorpios can be well compatible with people born under the signs of Capricorn and Virgo.
After they turn 29.5, Scorpios tend to grow more mature and more aware of their constant "self", which gradually gets extremely aggressive and dominating. At this age they can be compatible with Taurus- and Libra-born, which have Venus as their ruling planet. These 2 signs are very patient and can tolerate the bossy nature of the Scorpio-born.
After 41.5 a Scorpios is quite developed as a personality. They can control their inner "self" and still be sexually free. At this time, the Scorpio-born can be compatible with those born under the signs of Sagittarius and Aquarius.
Questions to Scorpios
Questions to Scorpios
What do you need to slow down in this race for success that is exhausting not only for yourselves but also for people around?
Why do you always lose, being so gifted?
And why are you so vengeful and small-minded? You must understand that not all people are so lucky as you are. Not all of them have your ability to regenerate completely after defeat.
Why do you need to boast? Everybody accepts your greatness. Could it be from lack of self-confidence in you?
Why are you so openly selfish?
And finally, why did stars make you the sexiest of all signs?
Programming Skills
Those born under the sign of Scorpio show themselves as perfect managers of enterprises and program projects. They take no interest in regular programming but successfully realize their talent in such languages as PROLOG.
Being born fighters, as a rule, they quickly achieve success in any field dealing with computers.
Recommended field: computer networks in Telnet.
Loyalty Mark
In early life it is "average", unless you look for something more than physical attraction. Being very opportunistic, Scorpios are always searching for "the greener fields".
In married life the mark is "excellent". They protect and strengthen their home and marriage provided liaisons are not forbidden. They can very well hide their love affairs and never boast about them. Scorpios become very faithful to their lovers and friends after they turn 29.5, or when the relationship is harmonic in the physical and intellectual aspect from the very beginning. But who would be unfaithful under such

History
ntended to be a fast and air-transportable reconnaissance vehicle, the Scorpion is built from mainly aluminium armour and mounts an L23A1 76 mm gun firing high-explosive, HESH, smoke, and canister rounds. Original models had a Jaguar 4.2 litre petrol engine. This engine was chosen because of its high power to weight ratio. Some customers specified diesel engines.
The Perkins Diesel engine was chosen, which has shown longer in-service life, and has a reduced risk of fire. At least one vehicle was seriously damaged by an Argentine landmine, but the crew were unscathed, and the vehicle was soon brought back into service by the attached REME section. Both tactical and strategic commanders have stated that a larger number of CVR would have aided and shortened the campaign greatly, with possibly reduced casualties. Its cross country ability was demonstrated in a recorded incident where a commander jumped from his vehicle and sank into the boggy ground (wheeled vehicles being almost no use away from established roads).
The Scorpion has been withdrawn from British Army service and the refurbished hulls have been mated with surplus turrets from the FV 721 Fox CVR wheeled reconnaissance vehicle to form a composite vehicle, to create the 30mm RARDEN cannon armed Sabre, which is very similar in appearance to the Scimitar. The chief reason for this was that the obsolescent 76mm gun was not found to be as effective or efficient in engaging enemy light armour/miscellaneous targets as the flat-trajectory 30mm cannon. Some small armies such as the Botswana Defense Force and the Irish Army, and notably the larger Philippine Army, continue to use Scorpion units, in some cases up-armed retroactively with 90mm Cockerill guns . A small number are in use at BATUS in Canada as part of OPFOR representing 125mm gun armed T-80-type vehicles, with the main armament barrel replaced with plastic drainpipe, and known as "Salamanders".

About Scorpion
Formerly a human ninja and member of the Japanese ninja clan Shirai Ryu, Scorpion is now a yellow garbed, hell-spawned revenant, inexorably seeking vengeance against those responsible for the destruction of his clan and the death of his family. Although essentialy neutral in allegiance, Scorpion will ally himself with anyone who can help his plans of revenge.
Scorpion was once manipulated by Quan Chi, who promised him life in exchange for his impressive combat abilities in order to defeat Sub-Zero. Despite such actions, Scorpion is not entirely merciless, as he once spared the life of Sub-Zero's younger brother. As Scorpion is a spectre, sorcery and supernatural anomalies have previously proven slightly more successful in vanquishing Scorpion in combat. When masked, Scorpion appears human, although this is merely an illusion. When revealing his true self, only Scorpion's skull remains, which sometimes appears on fire.
Although Scorpion is featured alongside the forces of evil in the opening scene of Mortal Kombat: Armageddon, he remains neutral, due to his fierce hatred of Quan Chi.
Pre-Mortal Kombat
"Scorpion" was the code name of one of the Shirai Ryu's finest warriors, a ninja assassin named Hanzo Hasashi. It is also known that his father, a former member of the Shirai Ryu, forbade his son from joining the clan, as he did not wish his son to live the life of an assassin. During the events of Mortal Kombat Mythologies: Sub-Zero, he was hired by Quan Chi to find a map hidden in the Himalayas. However, Quan Chi had also requested for the services of Sub-Zero the elder, who belonged to the rival Lin Kuei clan and was Scorpion's personal rival. The theory of hiring two ninja was simple - in case one of them failed, the other would succeed and Quan Chi would be closer to unlocking unknown and ultimate power.
The two warriors fought, with Sub-Zero gaining the advantage. As Scorpion lay on the ground defeated, Sub-Zero decapitated him and left his corpse where it fell. Scorpion learned that the Lin Kuei had also massacred his family and his entire clan. Fueled by an undying rage and thirst for retribution, he vowed to kill Sub-Zero in retaliation for his own murder.
Scorpion would not meet Sub-Zero again until a brief encounter in the Netherealm, where Sub-Zero had been sent by Raiden to regain the amulet from Shinnok and Quan Chi. The two fought, but Sub-Zero defeated Scorpion again and escaped the undead assassin's wrath. Following his return to Earth, Sub-Zero was later invited to participate in Shang Tsung's tournament of Mortal Kombat, but unbeknownst to the Lin Kuei warrior, Scorpion had been invited as well. The two interacted on Shang Tsung's boat, with Scorpion declaring that he would seek revenge for his murder.
Mortal Kombat
Scorpion then disappeared in a burst of flames and ash, and returned to the Netherealm.
Mortal Kombat II
A year later, Scorpion learned of Sub-Zero's plans to compete in the second tournament. Enraged at the idea that his murderer had somehow returned and his vengeance was incomplete, Scorpion followed Sub-Zero into the realm of Outworld, where Shao Kahn hosted the second tournament, during which Scorpion saw Sub-Zero sparing the life of an opponent. As a result, Scorpion vowed to be the new Sub-Zero's guardian in atonement for killing his older brother.
Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3
When Shao Kahn invaded Earthrealm and unsuccessfully tried to conquer the Netherealm as well, Scorpion was inadvertently set free, and he pledged allegiance to no one. Kahn, however, recognized Scorpion's skills, and enlisted the ninja in his forces. Scorpion's allegiance with Kahn quickly dissolved when he discovered that Sub-Zero, whom he had vowed not to harm, was one of Earth's chosen warriors. Scorpion returned to the Netherealm once more after Kahn's defeat.
Mortal Kombat 4
Scorpion came to believe that the younger Sub-Zero was involved with the murders of his family and clan. Quan Chi offered him life in exchange for the spectre's assistance in the war with the Elder Gods, which Scorpion accepted, but only so he could face Sub-Zero in combat. Scorpion engaged Sub-Zero in final battle; as with the elder Sub-Zero, Scorpion's obsession for revenge was too strong and he emerged the victor. Deadly Alliance
Quan Chi was tortured by Scorpion while trapped in the Netherealm. He eventually struck a deal with the Oni Drahmin and Moloch, who fought off Scorpion for him and enabled him to escape. Scorpion followed him, but was deposited in a different location by the portal. Deception
Scorpion managed to escape into the Void before the purity of the Soulnado tore him apart. There, he met the Elder Gods, and noticed Onaga's dominance beginning to unfold. The Elder Gods were aware of his presence and enhanced his mortal and supernatural abilities, and gave him a new mission to seek and destroy Onaga before he unmade the realms. Scorpion emerged from the Void and returned to Outworld.
Armageddon
In MK: Armageddon's Konquest mode, Scorpion appears to be no longer willing to serve as the Elder Gods' champion. While the Elder Gods did fulfill their promise, they brought back the Shirai Ryu clan as hellspawned warriors, the same as Scorpion. Enraged at what he perceived as their betrayal, Scorpion vows to gain vengeance on the Elder Gods by removing the two things crucial to their plans- Taven and Daegon. In Scorpion's MK: Armageddon ending, after defeating Blaze, his wife and son are resurrected, along with the entire Shirai Ryu clan, who awaited his command. Quan Chi appears and kidnaps his son, taking him into the Netherealm. Scorpion commands the Shirai Ryu to find Quan Chi.

Scorpion
Scorpions are eight-legged carnivorous arthropods.
Anatomy
The body of a scorpion is divided into two parts: the cephalothorax (also called the prosoma) and the abdomen (opisthosoma). The abdomen consists of the mesosoma and the metasoma.
Cephalothorax
The cephalothorax, also called the prosoma, is the scorpion's “head”, comprising the carapace, eyes, chelicerae (mouth parts), pedipalps (claws) and four pairs of walking legs. The scorpion's exoskeleton is thick and durable, providing good protection from predators. Scorpions have two eyes on the top of the head, and usually two to five pairs of eyes along the front corners of the head
Mesosoma
The first segment contains the sexual organs as well as a pair of vestigial and modified appendages forming a structure called the genital operculum. The second segment bears a pair of featherlike sensory organs known as the pectines; the final four segments each contain a pair of book lungs. The mesosoma is armored with chitinous plates, known as tergites on the upper surface and sternites on the lower surface.
Metasoma
The metasoma, the scorpion's tail, comprises six segments (the first tail segment looks like a last mesosoman segment), the last containing the scorpion's anus and bearing the telson (the sting). The telson, in turn, consists of the vesicle, which holds a pair of venom glands, and the hypodermic aculeus, the venom-injecting barb.
E. mingrelicus
On rare occasions, scorpions can be born with two metasomata (tails). Two-tailed scorpions are not a different species, merely a genetic abnormality.

Scorpions (band)
History
Rudolf Schenker, the band's rhythm guitarist, launched the band in 1965. At first, the band had beat influences and Schenker himself did the vocals. Things began to come together in 1969 when Schenker's younger brother Michael and vocalist Klaus Meine joined the band. In 1972, the group recorded and released their debut album Lonesome Crow, with Lothar Heimberg on bass and Wolfgang Dziony on drums. During the Lonesome Crow tour, Scorpions opened for upcoming British band UFO. Near the end of the tour, the members of UFO offered guitarist Michael Schenker the lead guitar job; an offer which he soon accepted. Uli Roth, a friend of the Schenker brothers, was then called in temporarily to finish off the tour.
The departure of Michael Schenker led to the breakup of the band. In 1973, Uli Roth, who had helped the Scorpions complete the Lonesome Crow tour, was offered the role as lead guitarist, but turned the band down, preferring instead to remain in the band Dawn Road. Roth and Buchholz persuaded Rudolf Schenker to invite Klaus Meine to join, which he soon did. While there were more members of Dawn Road than Scorpions in the band, they decided to use the Scorpions name because it was well-known in the German hard rock scene and an album had been released under that name
Rise to popularity (1974-1978)
In 1974 the new line-up of Scorpions released Fly to the Rainbow. The album proved to be more successful than Lonesome Crow and songs such as "Speedy's Coming" and the title track began to establish the band's sound. Achim Kirschning decided to leave after the recordings. Later, in 1976, he would join a German progressive rock band called Eloy and record three albums with them. He was replaced by a Belgian drummer, Rudy Lenners.
In 1975 the band hit their stride with the release of In Trance, which marked the beginning of Scorpions' long collaboration with German producer Dieter Dierks. The album was a huge step forward for Scorpions and firmly established their hard rock formula, while at the same time garnering a substantial fan base, both at home and abroad. Cuts such as "Dark Lady", "Robot Man" and the title track are still considered classics by fans today.
In 1976, Scorpions released Virgin Killer. The album's cover featured a nude prepubescent girl covered with broken glass designed by the German branch of RCA Records[citation needed], their label at the time. The cover brought the band considerable criticism and was pulled or replaced in several countries. Despite the controversy, which lead singer Klaus Meine later expressed regret at the inappropriate cover, the album itself garnered significant praise for its music from critics and fans alike.
The album's single, "Steamrock Fever", was added to some of RCA's radio promotional records. RCA also supervised the album cover design avoiding any controversy by including introduction-type photographs that included the names of each member under individual photos. Roth was not happy with the commercial direction the band was taking. Although he performed on the band's Japan tour, he departed to form his own band, Electric Sun prior to the release of the resultant double live album Tokyo Tapes. Tokyo Tapes was released in the US and Europe six months after its Japanese release. By that time in mid 1978, after auditioning around 140 guitarists, Scorpions recruited new guitarist Matthias Jabs.
Commercial success (1979-1990)
Following the addition of Jabs, Scorpions left RCA for Mercury Records to record their next album. This gave the band three guitarists (though Schenker's contribution to the final release was limited to only three songs). The album's provocative artwork was named "Best album sleeve of 1979" by Playboy magazine though it was ultimately changed for American release. Lovedrive the US charts proving that Scorpions were gathering an international following. After the completion and release of the album, the band decided to retain Michael in the band, thus forcing Jabs to leave. In April, 1979, during their tour in France, Jabs was brought in permanently to replace Michael.
In 1980, the band released Animal Magnetism, again with a provocative cover, this time showing a girl kneeling in front of a man. Soon after the album's release, Meine began experiencing throat problems. Meanwhile, the band began working on their next album, Blackout in 1981. Don Dokken was brought in to provide guide and backing vocals while Meine recovered. Meine eventually healed completely and was able to finish the album. Blackout was released in 1982 and quickly became the band's best selling to date, eventually going platinum. Meine's voice showed no signs of weakness and critical response to the album was good. Blackout spawned three hit singles: "Dynamite," "Blackout" and "No One Like You".
It was not until 1984 and the release of Love at First Sting that the band finally cemented their status as rock superstars. Some stores refused to sell the album. MTV gave the album's videos "Rock You Like a Hurricane", "Bad Boys Running Wild", "Big City Nights", and the power ballad "Still Loving You" significant airtime, greatly contributing to the album's success. The channel even supplied Scorpions with the nickname "The Ambassadors of Rock". The band toured extensively behind Love at First Sting and decided to record and release their second live album, World Wide Live in 1985. Recorded over a year-long world tour and released at the height of their popularity, the album was another success for the band.
After their extensive world tours, the band finally returned to the studio to record Savage
Amusement. Released in 1988, four years after their previous studio album, Savage Amusement represented a more polished pop sound similar to the style Def Leppard had found success with. The album sold well, but was considered somewhat of a critical disappointment. However, British heavy rock magazine Kerrang! did award the album five K's out of five.
On the Savage Amusement tour in 1988, Scorpions became only the second Western group to play in the Soviet Union (the first being Uriah Heep in December, 1987), with a performance in Leningrad. The following year the band returned to perform at the Moscow Music Peace Festival. As a result, Scorpions developed a strong Russian fan base and still return regularly to perform throughout the area.
Wishing to distance themselves from the Savage Amusement style, the band separated from their long-time producer and "Sixth Scorpion," Dieter Dierks, replacing him with Keith Olsen when they returned to the studio in 1990. Crazy World was released that same year and displayed a less polished sound. The album was a hit, propelled in large part by the massive success of the ballad "Wind of Change". Scorpions performed both versions of "In the Flesh" from The Wall. After the Crazy World tour Francis Buchholz, the band's long-serving bassist, left the group.
In 1993, Scorpions released Face the Heat. Bass was handled by Ralph Rieckermann. For the recording process, Scorpions brought in producer Bruce Fairbairn. The album's sound was more metal than melodic and divided the band's fan base somewhat. Many "headbangers" responded positively to the album while many longtime fans were put off. Neither the hard rock single "Alien Nation" nor the ballad "Under The Same Sun" came close to matching the success of "Wind of Change". Face the Heat was a moderate success
.
In 1995, a new live album, Live Bites, was produced. The disc documented live performances from their Savage Amusement Tour in 1988, all the way through the Face the Heat Tour in 1994. While the album had a much cleaner sound in comparison to their best-selling live album, World Wide Live, it was not as successful.
Prior to recording their 13th studio album, 1996s Pure Instinct, drummer Herman Rarebell left the band to set up a recording label. Curt Cress took charge of the drumsticks for the album before Kentucky-born James Kottak took over permanently. The album had many ballads. Still, the album's singles "Wild Child" and the soothing ballad "You and I" both enjoyed moderate success.
1999 saw the release of Eye II Eye and a significant change in the band's style, mixing in elements of pop and techno. While the album was slickly produced, fans were unsure what to make of the band, responding negatively to almost everything from pop-soul backup singers to the electronic drums present on several songs. The video to the album's first European single, "To Be No. 1," featured a Monica Lewinsky look-alike which did little to improve its popularity.
The following year, Scorpions had a fairly successful collaboration with the Berlin Philharmonic that resulted in a 10-song album named Moment of Glory. The album went a long way toward rebuilding the band's reputation after the harsh criticism of Eye II Eye. In 2001, Scorpions released Acoustica, a live unplugged album featuring acoustic reworkings of the band's biggest hits, plus new tracks. While appreciated by fans, the lack of a new studio album was frustrating to some, and Acoustica did little to return the band to the spotlight.
In 2004, the band released Unbreakable, an album that was hailed by critics as a long-awaited return to form. The album was the heaviest the band had released since Face the Heat, and fans responded well to tracks such as "New Generation", "Love 'em or Leave 'em" and "Deep and Dark". Whether a result of poor promotion by the band's label or the long time between studio releases, Unbreakable received little airplay and did not chart. Scorpions toured extensively behind the album and played as special guests with Judas Priest during the 2005 British tour
.
In early 2006, Scorpions released the DVD 1 Night in Vienna that included 14 live tracks and a complete rockumentary. In LA, the band spent about four months in the studio with producers James Michael and Desmond Child working on their new concept album titled Humanity: Hour I, which was released in late May 2007. Followed by the "Humanity World Tour".
In 2007, the band saw two of their signature tracks featured in the popular video game series, "Guitar Hero." "No One Like You" was featured on the "Rocks the '80s" version of the game while "Rock You Like A Hurricane" was released on "Guitar Hero 3: Legends of Rock."
On May 14, 2007, Scorpions released Humanity - Hour I in Europe. In a September 2007 podcast interview, Meine said the new album wasn't so much a "concept album" as it was a collection of songs with a common theme. "We didn't want to make another record with songs about boys chasing girls. When asked if the band plans to release a Humanity - Hour II, Meine replied:
It is exciting to play the new songs and they go very well with the classics.
Klaus Meine
On December 20, 2007, Scorpions played at a concert for the elite of Russia’s security forces in the Kremlin. Members of the audience included President Vladimir Putin.
