Scorpio is the eighth sign of the zodiac. This watercolour illustration of the Scorpian astrological energy is available as an art notecard or a print. The text below, describing the symbolism of the zodiac art, is included under the image on the print and comes with the card as a removable insert.
The Waters of Scorpio are the deep, buried undercurrents of Life's mysteries. Scorpio uses her hair to draw the water from the depths, bringing it close to examine it thoroughly and drink of it. Her headband points to her psychic contact with the collective unconscious, her belt to the seat of sexual/Life energies. In her lap, a skull cracks open to release the smokey foetal swirls of death as transformation and rebirth.
Scorpio: Fixed Water
The Sun is in Scorpio between October 24 and November 22
The cards in this series are illustrations of the "pure" energies represented by the Signs. In anyone's birth chart, these energies interact and mitigate each other's expressions. Thus, no one expresses "purely" the energies described - although some people will find an uncanny affinity with the personification if that Sign is strongly emphasized in their chart.
The choice of male or female personification is based on the traditional association of Fire and Air signs with the masculine and of Water and Earth with the feminine. Like all of the imagery involved, this needs to be understood in symbolic terms.
Many people prefer to use the cards for the principle illustrated rather than for the zodiac sign.
