My astrology reading

Firstly, let me write this disclaimer: People love believing and hearing good stuff about themselves, e.g. in horoscopes, astrology guides, etc. But I stumbled across this y'day and I thought it brilliantly described me. Exactly how I see myself. Here goes...the astrology reading is in normal font, and where/what I choose to comment, my comments are italicized.

Beneath a controlled, cool exterior beats the heart of the deeply intense Scorpion. Passionate, penetrating, and determined, this sign will probe until they reach the truth. The Scorpion may not speak volumes or show their emotions readily, yet rest assured there's an enormous amount of activity happening beneath the surface. Excellent leaders, the Scorpion is always aware. When it comes to resourcefulness, this sign comes out ahead.

Why, thank you! How true. On the surface, most of the time, unless I am really bothered, I try not to show it, and only people really close to me would be able to read my facial expressions to gauge my moods. I struggle to show emotion or to speak about it, but for the right reasons, I will strive to do so. Oftentimes my brain is running rapidly.

Friends and Family

Sincerity and truth are strong components of the Scorpion's friends. It can take some time before really close bonds are formed, but once done, the Scorpion will remain dedicated and loyal. Witty and intellectual, they prefer companions who are humorous and easygoing. Full of surprises, this sign will give you the shirt off their backs if that's what you need; yet, once they are crossed, there's no turning back. They feel deeply, and once hurt, it can be impossible to turn things around. Commitment to family is strong and consistent with the Scorpion. They are exceptionally helpful in managing affairs, and they are excellent advocates when one is needed.

Sincerity and truth! Priceless indeed and no amount of $ can ever earn these 2 intangibles. Hence I only have my 9 scholars circle of fship and trust and thats enough for me. I will do anything (almost) for them. Humor and easygoing - that describes my fships to a T! And haha, true enough, I feel deeply (ew how pansy of me) and find it tough to deal with hurt. Family commitment - goes without saying.

Career and Money

"I desire" is the key phrase for the Scorpion. They are fantastic at managing, solving, or creating. Once the Scorpion sets their sights on a goal, there's no deterring this sign. Tasks that require a scientific, penetrating approach are always best done by the Scorpion, as they will delve deeply into the materials they have. Their ability to focus, coupled with determination, makes for strong management skills. They're not ones to worry about making friends on the job scene; rather, they prefer to see the task accomplished well.

Ahh...can I write this on my CV? As I always tell my other half, once I target a duck, that duck is a dead ringer, sitting or otherwise. And as my colleagues will attest, I care more for settling the task than to make friends. Hear ye hear ye Mr 'Friend'.

Pursuing such careers as a scientist, doctor, investigator, navigator, detective, researcher, police officer, business manager, and psychologist all suit the mighty Scorpion. Respect is an essential aspect of working for this sign. They need to respect their coworkers, while also feeling a sense of being respected by others.

The importance and value of respect for one's bosses and colleagues can never ever be overstated. Most of the above jobs sound attractive, but the most attractive 2 words are 'mighty Scorpion'. =)

Disciplined enough to stick to a budget and unafraid of working as hard and as long as it takes puts the Scorpion in a good financial position. Many are fortunate and inherit money. Whatever the case - and regardless of the balance - they are great managers of their dollars and are not apt to overspend at all. Money means security and a sense of control, which is important to the Scorpion. Therefore, they're going to hang onto the majority of the cash, making decisions carefully before turning any of it over.

I'm of age. Watch me bring to life the above, and money does mean a sense of security and in control.

Love and Sex

This is the strongest of the sexualities in the zodiac. Incredibly passionate, the Scorpion takes intimacy seriously. Partners need to be intelligent and honest. Much of the foreplay for this sign happens long before the bedroom through conversation and observation. Once in love, they are devoted and loyal to the death. But relationships can take some time. The Scorpion needs to build trust and respect for a potential mate slowly and thoroughly.

Ah ha! My fav part. =) '..takes intimacy seriously' . Definitely. 'Passionate'. Very. 'Partners need to be intelligent and honest'. Uncompromisably. See that part about foreplay? Spot on. 'Once in love, loyal and devoted to death'. YEP, Only 1 lover for me.
