Understanding a Scorpio Man

My good friend and fabulous world renown fellow blogger Dr. Spo sent me this link via e-mail a few days ago.  He then asked a simple question:

"Is this 'you'?"  

Guilty as charged, especially with the "demanding, compulsive, know-it-all, overcritical."  Also, I am very lustful.  Thank goodness not too many people turn me on but if you do, watch out.

Ummmmm…..yes.  Well, about 95% yes.  I do admit I an genetically unable to forgive or forget a slight.  Even after I go to my grave I am convinced I will still have all the slights in my lifetime catalogued in my brain for easy access, just waiting for the time when I can "repay."  This isn't one of my characteristics that I am proud of but there it is.  If  you want to be my friend (for life), don't slight me or…..take me for granted.  But then if I mean nothing to you, c'est la vie.  No love lost between either one of us.  Go about your life and I'll go about mine, no love lost (or gained).

How do I love?  Oh baby, with 100% intensity.  Oh yes, I go all the way.  If you get on Ron's Love Train, be prepared for a LOT of attention.  I'll wear you down for sure.  But I am gentle….for sure.

Am I secretive, manipulative, and all those other bad things?  Well…..maybe….sometimes.

All I can really say is that if you have me for a friend.  You're respectful of me, you literally could not have a better friend.  But if you take me for granted, are disrespectful or even worse, try to take advantage of me….you're playing a losing game with this Scorpio.  Oh sure, I've been burned a few time in my callow, inexperienced youth but never again. 

So thank you Dr. Spo for reminding me what a "black and white" personality I really am.  Don't look for too many shades of gray with me folks.

This morning I was cleaning out some of the clutter around my computer desk and I came across a card describing the astrological sign Scorpio.  As regular followers of this blog know, I am one of those fearsome Scorpios.

Your worst nightmare

Now I don't follow the daily advice in newspapers for astrological signs but I do put some credence in the characteristics of the Scorpio astrological sign.  Why do I do this?  Because they are dead on, at least as they apply to me.  

Check it out:

Favorite number?  Yep, nine.  In fact it's the date of my birth.  My street address? Yep, it adds up to nine.

PERSONALITY PROFILE

Scorpio, the eight house of the Zodiac and the fixed water sign, is the most intense of all the signs. Dominated by powerful emotions, you take life seriously. You posses a magnetic power, critical perception and the ability to judge keenly, but you can also be exacting, obstinate, secretive and jealous. Scorpio has a hierarchy of symbols, starting with the traditional scorpion and ascending to higher levels of consciousness as symbolized by the eagle and, finally the mythical Phoenix. This progression symbolizes the Scorpio's need to regenerate through suffering and, often, self-destructive behavior. But, you also posses an indomitable will and self-control, and your presence has great healing power. You are fascinated by sex and death, and can become quite the monster of lust. Intensely loyal to your friends, you never forget a kindness or a slight. Your day is Tuesday, your metal is steel.

LOVE AND SEX

Often known as the sexiest sign in the Zodiac, Scorpios love and hate with equal fervor. You require a great deal of fidelity to feel certain of the value of a relationship and you can be madly possessive. Often the victim of passion, you sometimes feel burden by your desires. You are most attracted to Cancer, Pisces, Virgo and Capricorn. You have difficulty with Aquarius and Leo.

CAREER & MONEY

Money is power and you know it. Of no importance in itself, money is a means to an end, a challenge to your strength You have the most patience to sacrifice present indulgences for future rewards. You are driven, shrewd and highly focused.

BODY & HEALTH

Scorpio rules the genitals (tell me about it) . Though you generally have a strong and robust body you are particularly susceptible to epidemics, dunkenness, venereal diseases, hernias, syphilis, prostate diseases, colitis, bladder disorders, nose disorders and piles.
