Scorpio, my birth sign and pretty much who I am. I never really put much credence in horoscopes or signs. But it really does fit me.
Scorpio I - (Oct. 26 - Nov. 2)
The Scorpio I period takes intensity as its central image. The days that comprise Scorpio I illustrate the underlying theme of intensity, and the accompanying capacity to guide, formulate and finally transform unpolished materials into highly viable and valuable entities.
Scorpio I people are very intense. Once they get their teeth into something they do not easily let go. Nor do they specialize in compromise. Although they may be referred to as "sunny" Scorpios (not as emotionally drunk as others of this sign), Those born in this period are nonetheless attracted to tragedy and know what it is to suffer.
Scorpio I's usually have an immediate feeling for whether someone is likely to be a friend or a foe, a general sense of discrimination that stands them in good stead. They can be quite combative toward their opponents, giving no quarter in an argument or dispute. Yet most of their aggression is unleashed from a defensive posture, and they are smart enough to walk away from confrontations that are senseless or place them at serious disadvantage. By the same token these warriors (men and women) rarely waste their energies on lesser opponents.
Using their charm with great effect is characteristic of Scorpio I's. They have an excellent sense of humour, but can sometimes employ it devastatingly at another person's expense. Indeed, those born in Scorpio I make terrible teasers and if they decide they want to get under a victim's skin, can be at once unmerciful and unrelenting.
Scorpio I's usually have a strict code, (hopefully moral rather than immoral), to which they adhere. They are interested in motives, often deeming it more important to know why something was done rather than judging an endeavor or action by its outcome alone. Thus a false move will be forgiven by a Scorpio I more readily than an impure motive. Scorpio I's scorn petty or underhanded actions and despise success achieved through deceit. Furthermore they show little interest in apologies and excuses, unless truly sincere and not overly frequent. Where work is concerned, those born in this period tend to be unimpressed by quantity alone, focusing on the quality of services and products. In like manner, they themselves are capable of working very slowly for long periods of time on order to achieve their ends. From a position of authority or for that matter from a place in a lover's heart.
