A resolutely female sign, Scorpio is the 2nd water sign in the zodiac with Pisces and Cancer. Scorpio is a sign governed by the planet Mars, but also by Pluto. In astrology, it corresponds to the Eighth House. 3rd fixed sign, Scorpio is in analogy with the genitals and anus. Of a very creative nature, natives of the sign of Scorpio always want to go to the limit of anything they undertake. It is a sign driven by passion in all things. They have a lot of potential but tend to misuse it. Scorpio is very instinctive under the influence of its two ruling planets, Mars and Pluto. Scorpio: User Guide Dark black and red are the favorite colors of Scorpio natives. Tuesday is the day of the week that brings them luck and their lucky numbers are 4, 13 and 21. In astrology, Scorpio means great transformation, death, the end of a cycle, or a major turning point in life. It also represents sexuality and sensuality in its bestial and primal form. In mythology, Scorpio tells the story of Orion, the great hunter who saw Artemis naked as she bathed. He wanted to rape her. However, she pulled out a scorpion that stung him at the heel. The animal was then turned into a constellation in thanks for its bravery. The sign of Scorpio is a show of power and magic. They are mysterious beings, sometimes extreme in what they do. Scorpio people often have sex on their mind, yielding to base human impulses. They might appreciate anything that is erotic, sensual, or even more. They can detect the slightest weaknesses in anyone. This is one of 3 the most gifted signs for psychology. When a Scorpio manages to realize its enormous power over others, he or she can become very manipulative. Scorpio And The World Around Them Overflowing with emotional energy, the Scorpio is a trustworthy and loyal friend you can rely on. However, at first, Scorpio may seem distant and cold to others. They radiate out-of-control magnetism on other people, which is why they are often well appreciated within a group. Scorpio are always ready to make a new friendly relationship, even more so if there is anything to be gained. They love to explore, to go on adventures and to live unique moments with their friends. Scorpio people love risk. They can often lead their friends to risky situations, not out of spite, but because it is in their nature. Scorpio carefully choose the members of their inner circle. They have something on their mind, but will strongly defend their friends whenever needed. In friendly relationships, Scorpio can offer very good advice to their friends. They also support them unconditionally in complex projects, adventures, and even love stories. In truth, anything that is intriguing, dangerous and mysterious fascinates him. On the other hand, it is better not to argue with a Scorpio. They are very vindictive and resentful and they never forget. At work, the Scorpio is a colleague who does not shy away from anything. He particularly likes challenges and is used to stressful situations or pressure from his superiors. This is more stimulating for them and they often are incredibly successful. They are ambitious, and can easily give the best of themselves. Scorpio are wise strategists who consider each and every move. They think several moves ahead. Obstacles and unexpected hurdles will not weaken the courage and the perseverance of Scorpio people for they only have one idea in mind: to succeed. However, it is someone who can get bored very quickly. They constantly need something thrilling to do. Family-wise, Scorpio natives are very demanding people. Scorpion are very 4 attached to their family, to the point of sometimes being annoying. Building a family is part of the life projects that Scorpio natives are very attached to. At home, a Scorpio woman needs someone stronger and tougher than her. Someone she can count on. As for Mr. Scorpio, he also needs to have someone strong, but someone he can tame on occasion. As parents, Scorpio natives are like wolves protecting their children. Mr. Scorpio wants the future he never had for his children, while Mrs. Scorpion tends to be a little overprotective. Scorpio natives are also care very much about their family assets, which they are delighted to pass on to their children. If Scorpio Were… A VEGETABLE There are many plants and vegetables that represent the sign of Scorpio, according to its character traits. This is the case for fungi for instance, and more generally all marsh plants. Cactus or nettles are also attached to the sign of the Scorpio. It is the same with heather, red peppers, or everlasting plants. AN ANIMAL If Scorpio were an animal, it would obviously be the Scorpion with its venom and its dart. They can also be associated with snakes and hyenas, animals that inspire fear, a spot-on characteristic of the Scorpio. The same goes for underground, extremely venomous, or scary animals. A MINERAL The minerals that represent Scorpio character traits are Malachite and Lava. Emerald, topaz or ruby can also be associated with it, stones that they will find in harmony with their inner self. What Jobs For Scorpio? Scorpio natives are people who like to get to the bottom of things. They love to explore everything from top to bottom. They particularly appreciate 5 anything extreme. The trades that suit them best are those related to death. They can excel in criminology, forensic medicine, and so on. Scorpio is a sign that does not shrink from anything to meet their goals. They are obstinate people who know how to wait patiently, without losing any willpower. A job in research can also be a good fit. They could be excellent detectives, scientific researchers, surgeons, gifted psychologists or parapsychologists. Anatomically, the Scorpion is represented by the genitals. Thus, unsurprisingly, the trades that are related are a perfect fit for them: gynecologist, sexologist, etc. Scorpio And Compatibility With Other Signs Intensely carnal, the relationship between two natives of Scorpio is however likely to be quite complicated and dangerous. They each want to live their passion to the fullest. A passion that can be destructive for both signs in the long run. Indeed, their strength of character will certainly lead them to drift away towards an almost inevitable breakup. Between Aries and Scorpio stands a complex and very intense relationship. Aries is someone overflowing with energy, sometimes aggressive, always looking for a new challenge. Scorpio, deeply sentimental and very carnal, are also full of energy. As a couple, they can live a great love story, painted with mad escapades and passion. However, Scorpio’s strength of character will push Aries to their own limits and might split this excellent Fire and Water duo. If there is indeed a sign of the zodiac that attracts the Scorpio, it is Taurus. Two opposing signs drawn to one another as if by magic. Taurus are naturally attracted to the sensuality and sex appeal of Scorpio. For Taurus, Scorpio are another of their many challenges, but the most valuable one. They always wanted to conquer them. It is an extremely rich relationship, very far from routine, and that has every chance to succeed. In love, Scorpio always seem in a hurry, the price of passion. It is a trait of 6 character that does not fit the lightness and thirst for freedom of Gemini people. Between these signs of Water and Air, a relationship will require a lot of effort to work. One of them, concession after concession, could become very unhappy. And the one who will yield most will certainly be the Gemini, a white knight or warrior ready to do anything to make his or her partner happy. Between Cancer and Scorpio, two Water signs, it is a relationship where passion is key. However, the somewhat possessive and impetuous character of the Scorpio might frighten the Cancer. The latter, however, has the ability to gain control in a subtle way. This is one of the best compatibilities in astrology. Leo and Scorpio resemble Fire and Water. Leo always have this need to live their life intensely. Conversely, Scorpio are very passionate, compulsively. It is a relationship that may not last forever. It will be full of conflicts and confrontations. A breakup can be avoided, however, as Leo and Scorpio are both driven to be the other’s master. This kind game will please both signs and could make their relationship last much longer than expected. Between Virgo and Scorpio stands a seemingly doomed relationship.

    DREKKANNA - THE D/3 CHART = DRESHKHAMSA Drekkana the D-3 chart = dreshkhamsha = a graphic representation of the placement of each radix graha into one of the 36 Drekkana BPHS Chapter 6: Shloka 7-8. Dreshkamsha: "One third of a Rashi is called Dreshkamsha. These are totally 36, counted from Mesha, repeating thrice at the rate of 12 per round. The 1st, 5th and the 9th Rashi from a Rashi are its three Dreshkhamsha and are,respectively, lorded by 1. Narada, 2. Agasthya 3. Durvasha." The meaning of the word DRESH – KANA DRESH mens seeing or visualizing objects which are apparent or hidden (obscure) in nature. KANA means corner or trine (Trikona). Therefore, Dreshkana represents the varga (division) where the signs, trine to each other, convey apparent as well as hidden personality and nature (swaroopa) of the native. Quotes From: David Frawley. the Astrology of the Seers, p. 186: "In this harmonic the first 1/3 or ten degrees 00° 00'-10° 00' of any sign ruled by itself. The middle 1/3,10° 00'-20° 00', is ruled by the subsequent sign of the same element. The last 1/3, 20° 00'-30° 00', is ruled by the final sign of the same element. For example, the first 1/3 of Sagittarius is in the harmonic third of Sagittarius, the second 1/3 in the harmonic third of Aries, and the last 1/3 in the harmonic third of Leo. Hence, if Saturn is located in a birth chart at 15° 20' Sagittarius, it would be in the harmonic third of Aries.

  • Drekkana Varga by Ernst Wilhelm
    Drekkana Varga By Ernst Wilhelm www.astrology-videos.com “Happiness, etc. with relations should be known from Drekkana.” -Sanketi Nidhi “A planet in its own decanate confers virtues".” -Saravali Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra states that the Drekkana indicates happiness with siblings, though Sanketi Nidhi expands upon this idea to include happiness with all relations. An important point, the Drekkana indicates the happiness that the native has with siblings/relations, not the life of the siblings. The life of the siblings is indicated by the relevant Bhava cusp that represents the sibling (3rd for younger, 11th for elder) and that Bhava cusp needs to be read in all Vargas – that is how the life of the siblings is to be read. What the Drekkana itself represents is the capacity that we have to work with all our relations towards mutually fulfilling goals and thus it indicates our happiness with our relations. Afflicted Bhavas and afflicted lords indicate those people in our live with whom we work less effectively; while strong Bhavas and lords in good Lajjitaadi Avasthas indicate those people with whom we work very effectively. Individuals with a good Drekkana are socially able, while those with troubled Drekkanas are socially unable. Remember that the 3rd Bhava, for which the Drekkana is the important Varga, represents an individual’s social ability. The social ability represented by the Drekkana and by the 3rd Bhava is initially developed through the association with siblings, and so ability with siblings is an important aspect of the Drekkana, but the Drekkana is not limited to our social ability with just siblings, it reflects our social ability with everyone that we come across.

  • Working with the Behenian Fixed Stars
    Working with the Behenian Fixed Stars Hinbra Septentriones.net The Behenian fixed stars are a selection of fifteen stars considered especially useful for magical applications in the medieval astrology of Europe and the Arab world. According to Ficino,1 the mechanism by which the celestial energy is transferred into Talimans comes from the ‘living and perceiving’ rays of the stars that ‘shine forth through the eyes of a living body.’ Their energies, which fluctuate according to the movements of the celestial bodies they originate from, ‘penetrates in a moment the mass of the earth’ going straight to its centre, before quickly penetrating the whole earth, permeating metal and precious stone when they are engraved with their images. These images then take on the qualities of the rays and bring with them marvellous gifts from the imaginations and minds of the celestial spirits that emanate them. In particular, the rays produce an intense force from their ‘strong mental disposition and... very rapid motion of their bodies,’ acting ‘to the greatest extent on the spirit, which is most similar to the celestial rays.’ The intelligences and daemons from which Zodiacal and Fixed Star celestial rays emanate are those connected to the Eighth Sphere of the Ptolemaic Cosmos. These are the intelligences produced by the third emanated intellect of God and therefore represent a higher level of influence than those associated with the decans and planets, whose influence is less distant and more immanent. This sphere ultimately includes all of the stars and constellations in the sky, but as only forty-eight of the eighty-eight constellations in the sky were designated any particular importance by Ptolemy, it is only these that are acknowledged as having any known magical qualities.
