Scorpio—tendencies of Sun Signs, 11/12
Water Signs
“Still waters run deep” is a good motto for Scorpio Suns. As a water sign, Scorpio is attuned to the emotional narratives that shape our world. Secretive at times, Scorpio Suns have an intensity of feeling and purpose, as they often function as the memory-keepers of a people. They usually have the strong memory typical of water signs, and in the fixed sign of Scorpio, they often hold onto past experiences with great steadiness. Scorpio Suns can get very attached to the people, places, and things that bring meaning into their lives. Tread respectfully with the Scorpio Sun in your life. They’ll likely remember the good experiences they have with you, as well as any bad.
Scorpio Suns are typically attuned to the power behind the scenes, and often spend their lives carefully gathering strength and aligning with power of their own. They make worthwhile allies in any fight. With their focused intensity, Scorpio Suns can make excellent politicians, performers, activists, lawyers, businesspeople, and of course much more. They tend to do well in positions where being socially compelling is advantageous.
Scorpio is ruled by Mars, and Mars can be anywhere relative to the Sun. Check the Mars position to get a deeper understanding of what arena of action a Scorpio Sun operates within. Mars brings a competitive, sharp, and assertive energy. It drives action, creating beginnings and endings. In the feminine sign of Scorpio, Mars focuses more on defense and building power, remembering past battles and preparing for the next one.
Particularly strong positions for Mars would be Aries and Scorpio where Mars is in dignity as the ruler, or Capricorn where Mars is exalted. Scorpio Suns with Mars in these strong positions are likely to be swift and effective in asserting their power.
Weaker positions for Mars would be Taurus and Libra where Mars is in detriment, or Cancer where it’s in fall. Scorpio Suns with Mars in these weaker positions will be spending their lives learning to navigate some of the trickiest realms for Mars.
As always, these are only stereotypes, that some people will fall outside of. Astrology is very complicated and the whole chart needs to be considered for accuracy. I’m available for personal readings at my site: sangastrology.com
