Scorpio: Luck and Good Fortune

Luck is defined as that which happens to a person...an event, good or ill...which affects an individual's interests or happiness and which is deemed causal. It is a series of such events which are regarded as occurring by chance, fate or fortune...often, a person's habitual or characteristic fortune. It has been said that luck is better than skill.

In Greek Mythology, the Goddess of Luck is Tyche, known to the Romans as Fortuna. She is often portrayed holding a double-sided rudder that could steer mankind to good or bad luck. She also frequently holds a cornucopia (horn of plenty) to symbolize prosperity and is sometimes blindfolded to indicate that luck is a matter of "blind chance." In addition, Tyche occasionally sports wings to symbolize how good fortune might be fleeting. A ball, representative of the manner in which luck "rolls according to chance" is often associated with this Goddess. Tyche is said to teach the paradoxical message that life is essentially a game of dice, determined by chance, and that nothing is ever set in stone. No matter how certain an individual might be that something will happen, there is always an underlying element of chance, and it would be wise to expect the unexpected. Instead of submission to Fate, Tyche provides the encouragment for individuals to take things into their own hands, thus making their own destiny. In was in Tyche's temple that the first set of dice were dedicated by Palamedes, perhaps indicating the capriciousness of life and luck...and the fickle manner in which the fortunes of mortals are often decided.

"Luck affects everything;
Let your hook always be cast;
In the stream where you least expect it,
There will be a fish."

Scorpio Compatibility

2008-11-10T00:58:00.000-08:00

Scorpio Compatibility

The most magnetic, the most mystifying and the most misunderstood sign of the zodiac, Scorpio is as gentle as any other sensitive person. The only fault of his is that he never lets it show. He always has that haughty and strong demeanor, which never ever lets people know how caring and generous he is on the inside. However, one thing about a Scorpio is absolutely true - he hates with the same passion with which he loves.

If you hurt him deliberately even one time, he will hurt you ten times in return. But, if you do one good deed for him, he will do hundred for you and even more. He is very sensitive, but very secretive about it. Only those people who can penetrate his mask can have hopes of having a good compatibility with him, especially in a love relationship. He is a true romantic at heart and will never ever leave a stone unturned for those, he cares about. They just need to understand him.

Scorpio Aries Compatibility
The relationship between an Aries and a Scorpio individual will be full of passion. Both of them are extremely passionate about everything and have a strong sense of individuality.

Scorpio Taurus Compatibility
There are absolute chances of a strong magnetic attraction between the two zodiac signs of Taurus and Libra. At the intellectual level, however, both the individuals are less likely to find a common platform.

Scorpio Gemini Compatibility
A Gemini and a Scorpio are like two ends of the same pole. They are totally opposite to one another in almost all the aspects of their personality, making this zodiac match a difficult one.

Scorpio Cancer Compatibility
A Cancer as well as a Scorpio is so intense and emotional that they will have no problem bonding well with one another. Infact, they have so many similarities that getting together seems to be extremely easy and totally possible.

Scorpio Leo Compatibility
Leo is as stubborn as a Scorpio and both of them are also proud and determined. Their strong character is what binds them and it is what creates the differences also. Confused? Don't be.

Scorpio Virgo Compatibility
The basic nature of a Virgo is quite compatible with that of a Scorpio. Both the individuals have a practical approach towards life and love to analyze people, though their method of doing it may differ.

Scorpio Libra Compatibility
As far as emotions are concerned, Scorpio takes the lead over the Libra. His emotions run much deeper and are much more intense. Whenever a Libran gets involved in a love relationship, he always maintains a little distance and aloofness.

Scorpio Scorpio Compatibility
The relationship between two Scorpio individuals will be a bitter-sweet one. They have the same positive qualities and they share the same negative traits. This love match is bound to have lots of intensity, as neither the individuals is prone to enter into a relationship with shallow feelings.

Scorpio Sagittarius Compatibility
A Scorpio and a Sagittarius are as different as water and fire. Sagittarius is light-hearted about almost every aspect of life and intensity is a word that is totally alien to his personality.

Scorpio Capricorn Compatibility
A Scorpio is as scared of getting involved in a frivolous relationship as a Capricorn. Both of them are very sensitive and very emotional, but none of them ever lets this show.

Scorpio Aquarius Compatibility
A Scorpio individual is not at all like an Aquarian. Both of them have very different personality traits and tend to have very dissimilar views as far as love relationships are concerned.

Scorpio Pisces Compatibility
Scorpio and Pisces share the same sensitive nature, which overflows with emotions and compassion. The only difference is that the Fish easily shows what he feels, but the Scorpion does not.

Scorpio Woman

2008-11-10T00:53:00.000-08:00

Scorpio Woman

The beauty of a Scorpio woman is exceptional, mysterious and totally magnetic. She knows that and is proud of herself. She will control her wish to dominate and will let a man lead in a relationship, atleast during courtship. She knows how to hypnotize a man and gets successful, more often than not. Don't expect a Scorpio female to rush into your arms in front of a thousand people and shout her feelings at the top of her voice. Instead, she will come close to you, glance at you in a sensual way and whisper the most romantic words in a seductive tone.

If you are not sincere with your feelings, don't even try to get close to a Scorpio girl. With those beautiful, penetrating eyes of hers, she can read exactly what is on your mind. She can easily make out your real intentions, so Don't Flirt. It will amount to insulting her and I assure you, insulting her is not at all good for your health. Even when her tone is soothing, her disposition kind and her smile generous, she can be planning the most powerful retaliation. When a Scorpio woman is insulted or gets hurt, her fury knows no bounds.

Then, she can become the most hard-hearted and most sarcastic person on this earth. If she loves with fierce devotion, she hates with devastating malice. If you are really in love with her, then you need to know more about her. She has a very hypnotic gaze and the moment her eyes meet your, you will go tumbling down in her deep passion. Being noticed by a Scorpio female definitely gives a boost to a man's ego. She needs a man who is stronger than she is and weakness in him won't get her sympathy at all.

He will be expected to behave like a real man, who can dominate her and make her proud. At the same time, he should respect her individuality. He should be better looking than average, with an intellect, philosophical and totally masculine. He must also be ambitious and able to handle tough situation with poise. After she gets committed, a Scorpio female will shower you with all her love and attention. Her whole life will start revolving around you and she will be extremely loyal and exceedingly passionate.

She is passionate with everything that is related to her. It is almost impossible for her to have neutral feelings. Either she will deeply cherish or fiercely hate. If any of the feelings are not experienced, she will become completely indifferent towards it. Scorpio women, however, never let these feelings show. Her expression will always remain neutral, betraying nothing. Her anger is very bad and it's better to get out of her way when it gets out of hand. Her characteristics profile will make her storehouse of secrets, but people wouldn't know any of hers.

Her personal life will be out of bounds for everyone. At the same time, she will never tell the secrets that have been confided in her, not even to you. Even with you, she will have a private part and its better not to pry. That does not mean she is dishonest. Infact, she will be so brutally honest that, at times, she may hurt people in the process. Like a typical Scorpio, she will choose her friends very carefully and the credible ones will remain with her throughout her life. She will never maintain a relationship with unworthy people.

Determination and will power are her basic personality traits. She can use them anytime to come out of anything that is negative. If you have been able to win the true love of a Scorpio female, you can be sure you will never feel lonely again. She will be totally devoted to you and even if you two don't get married for any reasons beyond your control, her love for you will not change. She is one of those who believe in the phrase 'Till Death Do Us Apart'. Rather than overshadowing her husband, she believes in supporting him.

'Behind every successful man, there is a woman'; this idiom is perfect in case of the husband who has a Scorpio wife. For her, the future, the happiness and the dreams of her husband hold the supreme importance. She will always defend him fiercely in public and won't take nicely to anyone taking advantage of him. She will always encourage him to reach for the stars, build his courage and never let him turn back from midway. Scorpio women love their homes and keep them spic and span.

Now comes the dangerous part. A Scorpio girl is extremely jealous and fiercely possessive of her loved ones. She is prone to suspicions; so don't give reasons to be doubtful of you. On the other hand, you will have to control your jealousy, since she will be attracting a lot of members of the opposite sex. She also dislikes being possessed by anyone, including you. In such a scenario, just remember that a Scorpio woman will always be loyal and devoted to you, even in the worst of circumstances.

And then, you know you cannot leave her and it is better to adjust to such a trifle thing. Nobody walks away from a Scorpio, right? As far as money is concerned, she will enjoy it whether she saves it in a piggy bank or splurges it on luxurious things. She is very conscious of her social standards and will never compromise in case of status. She likes power and will sacrifice money and many other things for it. She seems to be very practical, but inside she is very emotional. Like all Scorpios, she will not see any viewpoint in case of her own emotions.

A Scorpio female has a sense of fairness and justice. If you don't wish her good morning one day after a fight, she will do the same for the next four days. The same goes for generosity also. If you do one kind deed for her, she will do four in return. As a mother, she will extremely possessive of her children and will care for them. However, she may not express her love openly and this is something you will have to teach her. She will make them independent, fair, strong and proud of themselves, the way she is of them. She will encourage them to develop their innate talents and make sure they don't go unnoticed.

A Scorpio woman can drown you in her passion. But then, she can also bring you to safety when the raft becomes too dicey. She can provide you her calm and steady support in the worst of circumstances. Once you win her love, you will never be lonely again. Your food will be perfectly baked and she will grind fresh coffee for you. You will always come back to a spotless home, radiating with the aura of her magnetic personality, the charm of her deep beauty and the warmth of her everlasting love!

Scorpio Man

2008-11-10T00:41:00.000-08:00

Scorpio Man

When you talk about a Scorpio, one of the basic personality traits that come to your mind is passion. The same goes for a Scorpio man too. He is intensely passionate about everything around him, including love. If you look at the surface, he will look totally calm and composed. Just look beneath that outer layer of his and you will find his smoldering passion. In case you are scared of getting burnt, better put your jogging shoes and run away. Don't mess with a Scorpio man unless and until you are sure that this is the man you want.

If you manage to go close to him, you will be rewarded with a warm fire that will ensure you are never left cold again. Once you have glanced into the piercing, hypnotic eyes of a Scorpio male, you will never again be totally neutral towards him. His characteristics profile is an odd mix of intellect, philosophy, emotions and passion. He loves luxury and tends to indulge in excesses, in case of food, drinks and love. So, you saw that - love! Yes, it's true. Scorpio men are the most passionate about love and romance.

They never get caught in it unawares. They know about it since the time they learned how to talk. Even the most innocent looking Scorpio man will always be filled with passion inside. Never ever arouse his temper. A furious Scorpio man can give you lifetime-lasting scars, especially when he is hurt. He has to win in each and every aspect of life and failure breaks something inside him. Yet, he will display perfect sportsmanship and never even let you that defeat has bothered him.

Most probably, a Scorpio guy will keep a girl tortured before proposing her. If you are involved with such a man, better ensure that your reputation is spotless. He will never ever go in for a girl who is ludicrous or shameless. Gossip seldom interests him and he is hardly bothered by other people's opinions. He knows what he is and what they say or think will hardly make a difference. Forget strangers, even the views of his friends or relatives do not matter. He is one of those who will marry you even if the entire world is against you.

Once he has become close to you and formed an opinion about you, no one in the world can sway him. Honesty, sincerity, guts and reliability are ingrained in a Scorpio male. He never indulges in self-pity and envying someone is beyond him. Who could be better than a Scorpio? If you want to get involved with a Scorpio guy, better have some courage in yourself too. If you are planning on enticing him with that feminine mystery, it's definite that he will get attracted towards you. Then, prepare yourself to be ripped off that mystery.

He loves to solve mystery and you will be probed deeper and deeper till all the secrets have come out. He is very choosy with friends, so you can imagine what he will do in case of a lover. It will be like going through an X-ray machine. Once he has made up his mind that you are the one, he will drown you in his passion. He is combination of a caveman and a sophisticated prince. One thing that you will have to get used to, with a Scorpio man is that he will never display his emotions in public. Infact, he may even make fun of you in front of everyone.

You will be fuming, right? This was expected. But, when you are alone, he will whisper such sweet nothings in your ear that you will fall in love with him again. If you have some doubts about your looks, don't ask him. He will give his honest opinion. He will never say you are looking like a princess, when you are looking like a slob. Yet, when he gives you a compliment, you can be sure it's coming from the heart. If he says, "You are looking like Miss Universe", just rush and fill the form for that beauty pageant before the deadline runs out.

Scorpio men are jealous and possessive to the extreme. Don't even think of teasing him with another man. He will erupt like a volcano and your male friend may end up in the hospital. On the other hand, you may get plenty of reasons to be jealous. There is hardly any person on this earth who can resist the magnetic personality of a Scorpio. Always remember that the term loyalty is synonymous with Scorpio and how much he charms the other women, he will remain dedicated to you.

As a father, Scorpio man will demand discipline, respect for elders and independence from his children. You may have to teach him how to display his emotions and be tender towards them. In this case also, act with tact and diplomacy. Never try to dictate him about how he should behave with his children. After reading this, are you wondering whether you should think about the whole relationship again. Take my word, nobody can resist a Scorpio male and you are also one such person.

Once he has made up his mind that you are the one for him, he will charm you out of your senses. You will be hypnotized by his captivating and intense gaze and won't get the time to escape. If you have the courage and patience, his touch will be as cool as ice and his passion as hot as molten lava. He will take you along with him and you will see the world like never before. If you manage to understand him, he will become the most kind, considerate, loving and selfless man in this world. You will have a husband most women only dream about!

Scorpio Child

2008-11-10T00:32:00.000-08:00

Scorpio Child

A Scorpio child will usually have a stronger body than the rest of the kids. It is just perfect to support his much stronger will. He will never play or compete just for the heck of it. The aim of winning is always the main reason for it and he will never compromise on this front. He may give in at one point of time, to find some other way through which his victory will be assured. A Scorpio baby has a very hypnotic gaze, under which most of the people feel uncomfortable. So, it is better if you prepare yourself to outstare him every time.

You will have to make him understand that you are the boss of the house and he has to accept the rules you have made. Say it softly but firmly, while staring him down. He will need to be constantly disciplined. You will have to teach him to be considerate towards the weak, inculcate sportsmanship, respect authority and learn to forgive those who hurt him. As per their characteristics profile, Scorpio children are sharp, brave, honest and tend to attract people with their magnetic personality. However, you need to teach them humility before it's too late.

When your Scorpio baby does something wrong, don't shout at him. Learn to say 'No' in a kind, but unyielding manner. Show him that you are stronger than him and only then, will he learn from you. While disciplining him, don't forget to give him love and affection. Just like the other kids, he also needs constant cuddling and pampering. If you fail to do this, he may become too nervous, fearful and fidgety, which is completely opposite to his natural self. His honesty may make him a little blunt and direct and you will need to teach him to sheath his sharp tongue.

A Scorpio child has his own secrets and he won't like you prying around them. He will seldom tell his own feeling, but you will find it almost impossible to do the same with him. He has the ability to sense when something is wrong. You will get bear hugs and tender touches from him when something is troubling you, even though you may have not told him the problem. He can just feel it. One of the basic personality traits of a Scorpio baby is loyalty and dedication, towards family as well as close friends.

He has an angry side and whoever dares step on his tail, remembers not to do it again in their whole lifetime. You will have to teach him that revenge and grudge is not good. He will always be leading, whether in academics or sports or extra-curricular activities. He will always be full of energy and you will have to keep him involved mentally and active physically. Scorpio children tend to see unusual dreams and it is advisable to encourage them. You never know when he might become the next 'Robert Kennedy'.

He knows what he is and what he wants and it is better not to impose your will on him. Though he looks placid on the outside, inside he is brimming with passions and emotions. A Scorpio child needs a congenial home atmosphere, or he might lose his usually calm self. Don't scold him without a reason and don't stop him from doing anything without giving him a logical reason. He has a fascination for dangerous things like fire, drugs, etc. So, it's better to keep them away from his reach.

Scorpio baby is as much interested in unusual and mystic stuff as in the opposite sex. He may wink at the neighborhood girl when he has just started walking. Romance is in his blood and you will never be able to prevent him from falling in love. Still, you need to make him cautious in this area, so as to prevent heartbreaks that can affect him deeply. He will give his best in whatever he does and has determination to get what he wants. At the same time, he needs your love and support. Just be there when he needs you and teach him how to love and be loved. He will always come back to you to make sure that you are still there for him!

Zodiac Scorpio

24th October to 22nd November

Symbol: The Scorpion
Ruling Planet: Pluto
Quality: Fixed
Element: Water
Basic Trait: I Desire
Closest Metal: Plutonium
Lucky Day: Tuesday
Lucky Colors: Black, Charcoal Grey, Maroon and Red
Lucky Gems: Topaz
Lucky Flowers: Geranium and Honeysuckle

Magnetic, elusive, sexy and determined. That’s you Scorpio! You were born under the eighth sign of the zodiac which is referred to by astrologers as a fixed water (ice) sign. In a lot of ways ice sums up your emotional character. But why is this, when you have fiery and warlike Mars ruling you?

Scorpio, with the symbol of 'The Scorpion', is one of the three water signs of the zodiac. One of the first things that you notice about Scorpios are their eyes; they will be very intense and totally hypnotic. Infact, many people find it very difficult to stand steady under a Scorpio's constant gaze. His eyes seem to be penetrating your soul, knowing your deepest secrets and desires. The truth is, more often than not, they are. Scorpios have a big ego. They know what they are and what they are not. It doesn't matter what you think about them.

They are immune to both comments as well as compliments, because they know whether they are right or wrong. A Scorpio has perfect control over his emotions and he always retains his faultless poise. You will hardly see his emotions being reflected on his face, whether it's a blush or a flush. Infact, Scorpios deliberately practice a vacant look. The same goes for their body posture also, you will hardly see them pacing around in nervousness. However, behind this impeccable composure is their torrid inner nature.

However, they will always try to probe you, your nature and your motives. Fierce determination is a typical Scorpio personality trait. He has a strong willpower and is not the one to accept defeat easily. The characteristic profile of a Scorpio also tells us that he is honest, to the point of hurting someone. If you have asked for his opinion, you will get the brutal truth, without any sugar coating. He never gives false compliments and does not know how to flatter. However, if he does say something nice to you, be sure that it is truly sincere and is coming straight from the heart.

If you ask a Scorpio for a favor, it will be either a simple 'Yes' or 'No', not something like 'I will try'. If he really likes you, he will go out of the way to help you. You never have neutral feelings for a Scorpio; you will either be amongst his dedicated admirers or malicious enemies. However, no one challenges him openly, not even the most spiteful enemy. Scorpios have this lingering charm around them and are extremely sympathetic towards the sick or miserable. They are fearless and can stand anything from physical pain to poverty.

They have complete confidence in themselves and know that they shall pass through this also. A Scorpio is extremely loyal and will go to the length of laying down his life for his loved ones. He has an exceptionally good memory. He never forgets an act of benevolence and always remembers to repay it. Similarly, a Scorpio also remembers any pain caused to him, though the reaction may differ. An eagle will crush the enemy; a scorpion will meticulously plan and demolish the enemy, while the lizard will keep it inside him for years and may harm himself in the process.

Scorpio loves to play with danger. At the same time, he is interested in religion and curious about all the aspects of life as well as death. If you are close to him, you will feel extremely protected and cared for. He is also fiercely possessive of what he believes to be his. If a Scorpio really wants to do something, it will never remain a dream forever. He will find one or the other way to get what he wants. He is very passionate about everything around, even his home. However, beneath his tough exterior is a gentle heart that knows how to love and care.

In appearance you will be well proportioned, strong in body, muscular, and with a broad face and a commanding look. Your eyes, as already mentioned, are your strong point.

You are a tireless worker and generally achieve great success after the middle part of life.

The life of a Scorpio is challenging, but there’ll never be a dull moment.

Great Horary Questions "Is AIDS a manmade disease?"

2008-11-09T23:14:00.000-08:00

Great Horary Questions
"Is AIDS a manmade disease?"

This question, "Is AIDS a manmade disease?", was asked by Jean Elliot on October 24, 1986, at 1:17 pm GMT, 00e05, 51n31 and published by Olivia Barclay in her book "Horary Astrology Rediscovered", along with her interpretation.

This is an interesting question and chart, which deserves a thorough analysis.

Mercury is the 6th house ruler (=disease), therefore it represents AIDS. Mercury in Scorpio depicts AIDS as a sexually transmitted disease.

Mercury's dispositor will show us about the disease's origins: it is Mars in Aquarius (human sign), which is quite descriptive as many of the first victims could trace the their disease to sexual contact with a gay airline steward named Gaetan Dugas (Mars=young male, Aquarius=airlines).

We can study further this chart: we see the main significators (Mercury and Mars) in fixed signs - this indicates the slow but irreversible advance of the disease.

The Arabic Part of Misinterpretation (AS+UR-MO) is smack on the 6th house cusp - indicates that AIDS is still misunderstood.
The Arabic Part of Husbandry (AS+SA-MO) is tightly conjunct Mars - reinforces the gay connotations of this chart.

Mars is separating from a square Pluto (which rules Scorpio, associated with the anatomical region of the anus and therefore related to the gay relationships) and applies to a square with retrograde Venus from Scorpio (multiple heterosexual relationships). Venus is exactly on Serpentis (the 19th degree of Scorpio, surnamed "the cursed degree of the accursed sign"). This tells us about the ways in which AIDS was transmitted: initially only by homosexual intercourse, afterwards by heterosexual relationships, becoming an epidemic, like a curse.

We may learn more on the disease by studying the hidden connections within the chart - by antiscia. Mercury is separating from a conjunction with Mars' antiscion (21°01' Scorpio) and a square with Pluto's antiscion (22°58' Aquarius), which we may interpret as indicating the spreading of AIDS initially among the young gay men.
Or, if AIDS was a disease created in a laboratory, then the 9th house of science would be involved. Mars is the traditional 9th house ruler, Pluto is the modern 9th house ruler. We see Mercury (AIDS) sepparating from a "shadow aspect" (aspect by antiscia) with both planets: separates from a conjunction with Mars' antiscion and a square with Pluto's antiscion. This might be an argument for the scientific origin of the disease. But we need more indications all pointing in the same direction in order to be certain. This is a serious issue, therefore the chart must be quite clear on it. As this is a secret issue, we should find secret or hidden connections in the chart.

Remembering that Mars, 9th ruler, represents the science, its presence in Aquarius just indicates the high-tech laboratory needed for this purpose. Mars in the 1st house (the querent) is merely showing the idea of AIDS as a manmade disease weighting on the querent. By itself, this is NOT an indication towards it being true.

But Mars is peregrine, it has no essential dignity. Could it represent an experiment that got out of control? It is quite possible...

I don't intend to support here the "conspirationist theories", I only follow the charts' indications and try to understand them:

Mars signifies the origin of the disease, meaning that Mars' dispositor may tell us who's behind this thing, who controls its evolution. That is Saturn on the 11th cusp in Sagittarius: some scientific organization. Saturn is not actually in the 11th house, but on the "dark side" of the 11th cusp and it is considered as being in the 11th: a hidden international organization. This organization is represented by the 11th house ruler: Jupiter - who is in a very, very strong position in its domicile, term and face, on the 2nd house cusp: a very powerful and rich organization. Jupiter doesn't receive Mercury not Mars, also it is retrograde and this might mean that this organization actually regrets having created or unleashed AIDS by accident and now tries to control it.

Olivia Barclay says in her book that "Jupiter, the planet of plenty, is in the second of wealth. [...] Mercury, symbol of the disease, is in the fixed sign Scorpio, 5 degrees and 4 minutes from Sagittarius, representing slightly more than 5 years until it will be disposited by Jupiter. At that time, I hope our wealth will be able to cure the disease."
While her reasoning on this may be correct, she didn't notice Mercury turning retrograde at 29 Scorpio and then going backwards, indicating that AIDS is not going to be cured effectively and completely soon.

As Mercury will not cross the sign border into Sagittarius, Jupiter's domicile, it means that the scientific organization that created it (Jupiter) will not be able to control the disease (AIDS).

So, at this point of the analysis, I don't quite agree with Olivia Barclay's conclusion from the book that there aren't astrological indications in the chart towards a manmade AIDS. As you have seen above, there actually are some strong indications supporting this theory.

Scorpions - When love kills love

2008-09-21T09:07:00.000-07:00

Psychosexual Characteristics - Scorpio

2008-09-21T08:08:00.000-07:00

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

2008-09-21T08:03:00.000-07:00

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

2008-09-21T07:57:00.000-07:00

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

2008-09-21T07:51:00.000-07:00

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

FV101 Scorpion

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".

Scorpion (Mortal Kombat)

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)

2008-09-21T03:32:00.000-07:00

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.
