#scorpio decans

In Scorpio III, the desires of Venus go through a process of distortion, putrefaction and ultimately dissolution to reach their fulfillment. This decan is associated with separation and transformation; with the dissolution and putrefaction of desires back into their prima materia; or the returning of unfulfilled attachments and desires back to their source to achieve a different satisfaction. The precursors to the transformation associated with Scorpio begin to actualize here in its final face where obsessive desire is fully addressed to be alchemized. Traditionally, this decan was correlated with depravity, degeneracy, corruption and vice, and it is a place where one comes face to face with the fears and longings lurking within one’s watery depths.

Scorpio III is where Venusian vice appears as fantasy, in variant forms of the "false flesh," the mortal materiality that inevitably falls away. As Austin Coppock paints it, this face of Scorpio is the Black Crow, the corvus nigredo phase in alchemy where putrefaction occurs.

Desire, lust, obsession, debauchery, corruption, depravity, violence and vice are pecked at by the Crow to be decomposed back into their prima materia. It is the archetypal encounter with the Jungian Shadow in the “Dark Night of the Soul”. The symbolic nekya by which our ghosts may be summoned to guide us.

First Decan of Scorpio Rising (Ruled by Mars)

Alright, let’s cut the bullshit and dive into the first decan of Scorpio rising. These guys are ruled by Mars, the god of war. Yeah, you heard me right. These men are aggressive as hell and impulsive as fuck. They’re the ones you see tearing it up in sports, dominating the gym, and flooding your Instagram with their jacked physiques. Why? Because they’ve got all this pent-up energy and an insatiable thirst for power.

These men have a presence that screams “respect me, or get the hell out of my way.” They’re detached, cold, and couldn’t give two shits about delving into their emotions. Vulnerability? Nah, that’s not their style. They’d rather choke on their own pride than admit they have feelings. They’re the gym bros, the police officers, the selfish bastards who’ll do anything to be on top. They lie, manipulate, and scheme their way to power. If you’re looking for empathy, look somewhere else. These guys are all about that raw, unfiltered Aries energy – masculine to the core and allergic to anything that might bruise their fragile masculinity. Oh, and let’s not forget – they’ve got a psychopathic streak that makes them downright dangerous.

Second Decan of Scorpio Rising (Ruled by Jupiter with Pisces Influence)

Now, onto the second decan, where things get a bit… deeper. These men are ruled by Jupiter, with a touch of Pisces influence. Don’t let that fool you into thinking they’re soft, though. These guys are artistic as hell, with a dark, mysterious aura that keeps you guessing. They’re the musicians, the metal vocalists pouring their rage and pain into their art.

They’re not as detached as the first decan, but they sure as shit aren’t open books. They’re the quiet ones, the guys with headphones on, lost in their own world. You know there’s something intense simmering beneath the surface, but good luck getting them to spill. They’re emotional, much more so than the first decan, but they hate the company of others. They prefer to stick to their family or a close-knit group of 1-3 friends. They’re not plastered all over social media – they prefer to keep you wondering, intrigued by the depth you can sense but can’t quite reach.

Third Decan of Scorpio Rising (Ruled by the Moon with Cancer Influence)

Finally, we get to the third decan, where Scorpio’s intensity meets the emotional tidal wave of the Moon. These men have a presence that can send shivers down your spine. Their aura is dark, almost menacing, but it’s all a front – a protective shell to hide their deep, tumultuous emotions.

These guys are vengeful as fuck. Sense danger or hidden animosity from someone? They’ll destroy them, emotionally, mentally, and if push comes to shove, physically. They don’t take disrespect from anyone and get into a lot of physical confrontations because of their intense empathy. They give respect, so they damn well expect it in return. They’re the martial artists, the fighters with a fire burning in their eyes. Covered in dark tattoos, they walk into a room and command attention without saying a word. Their eyes? They’ll pierce right through you.

And while they look like the kind of men you’d avoid in a dark alley, get to know them, and you’ll find they’re fiercely protective and surprisingly nurturing to their close circle. But don’t mistake their kindness for weakness – they’ve got a manipulative streak, especially when it comes to matters of the heart. They’re incredibly close to women, loving and admiring them deeply, but they manipulate them too, knowing exactly what a woman wants or needs because they’re so in tune with female emotions. They’re the dark knights, the ones who respect women deeply but aren’t afraid to play mind games.

Unlike the first decan, these guys actually have friends – a small, tight-knit group they’d die for. They protect their own with a vicious loyalty, especially the women in their lives. Emotions run deep with these men, and their anger is a force to be reckoned with. They’ll fight anyone for their friends and family, no questions asked.

Protective Nature

Third Decan (Cancer Influence):

• For Friends and Family: These guys are fucking relentless when it comes to protecting their friends and family. They’ll fight anyone who dares to hurt those they love, and they’ll do it with a cold, calculated ferocity that leaves no room for mercy. They’re the ones you call when shit hits the fan because they won’t just defend you—they’ll annihilate the threat.

• Comparison: The 1st decan (Mars influence) also protects fiercely but more through sheer aggression and physical confrontation. The 2nd decan (Jupiter influence) uses their strategic mind to outmaneuver threats. The 3rd decan combines these approaches with a deep, emotional investment in those they protect, making their defense both personal and devastating.

Family Bonds

Close to Mom and Sisters:

• Unbreakable Bonds: Their relationship with their mom and sisters is ironclad. These men idolize the women who raised and supported them. They’re always there for their mom and sisters, ready to drop everything to help. Any slight against these women is seen as a direct attack on them, and they will respond with ruthless efficiency.

• Comparison: The 1st decan tends to keep a mysterious and veiled distance even in close relationships, while the 2nd decan, although deeply philosophical and knowledgeable, might not have the same visceral emotional connection to family ties as the 3rd decan.

Admiration for Females

Respect and Empathy:

• Genuine Admiration: They genuinely admire women, seeing them as equals and respecting their strength and intuition. Their empathy allows them to connect on a profound level, making them supportive and understanding partners and friends.

• Comparison: The 1st decan’s mystery can create a barrier to deep connections, while the 2nd decan, with their search for knowledge and understanding, appreciates the intellectual and philosophical aspects of relationships more than the raw emotional connection of the 3rd decan.

Empathy and Manipulation

Empathetic Nature:

• Emotional Depth: Their empathy is intense. They can read emotions like a book, understanding what others feel often before they do themselves. This makes them exceptional friends and partners, as they provide unwavering emotional support.

• Manipulative Tendencies: But here’s the dark side—they can be manipulative as fuck. They study the emotions of those around them, especially women, and know exactly how to play on those feelings for their own benefit. They can twist and turn emotions, leaving their targets feeling both cherished and controlled.

• Comparison: The 1st decan uses their mysterious nature to manipulate from the shadows, while the 2nd decan’s manipulation is more strategic and intellectual, less about raw emotional control and more about psychological maneuvering.

Psychopathic Traits

Psychopathic Manipulation:

• Cold Calculation: When it comes to manipulation, these men can be downright psychopathic. They lack remorse when they twist emotions to suit their needs. They can make you feel special and seen, all while pulling the strings from behind the scenes.

• Comparison: The 1st decan might hide their true intentions behind a veil of mystery, making it hard to know when you’re being manipulated. The 2nd decan might use their deep understanding of human psychology to subtly influence without you ever realizing it.

Brotherhood

• Unwavering Loyalty: Their friends aren’t just friends—they’re a fucking brotherhood. This wolf pack runs deep, with loyalty that’s unshakable. They’re the big brothers of the group, always looking out for their pack. They provide guidance, protection, and unwavering support.

• Extreme Measures: They’ll go to any lengths to protect their friends, using their empathy and strategic mind to ensure their pack stays safe. They don’t just defend; they obliterate threats.

• Comparison: The 1st decan’s brotherhood is built on mutual respect and the thrill of competition, while the 2nd decan’s is more about intellectual camaraderie and shared philosophical pursuits. The 3rd decan’s brotherhood is intensely emotional and deeply personal.

Hard to Get Close To

Protective Shell:

• Cancer Shell: It’s hard to get close to these men. They have a protective shell, a barrier to keep out those who might betray them. This shell is built from past betrayals and the need to protect their deeply empathetic nature. They only let a few people into their inner circle.

• Small Circle: Their circle is small but fiercely loyal. They trust only a handful of people, and these individuals are treasured and protected with a fierce intensity.

• Comparison: The 1st decan’s mystery makes them inherently distant, while the 2nd decan’s intellectual pursuits can make them seem aloof. The 3rd decan’s distance is protective, a shield to guard their vulnerable, empathetic core.

Summary of Comparisons

• 1st Decan (Mars Influence): The most mysterious and veiled. They protect with aggression and dominance. Their brotherhood is competitive and respect-based. They manipulate from the shadows.

• 2nd Decan (Jupiter Influence): In an extreme search for knowledge and a deep understanding of philosophies and the human psyche. They protect with strategy and foresight. Their brotherhood is intellectual and philosophical. They manipulate with psychological maneuvering.

• 3rd Decan (Cancer Influence): The most nurturing and empathetic. They protect with emotional investment and cold, calculated retaliation. Their brotherhood is deeply personal and emotionally connected. They manipulate with a ruthless understanding of emotions.

[Below Cut: Scorpio Rising + different decans 🦉]

Scorpio Decan 1: Oct 23 to Nov 1:

Known as the Week of Intensity. This double Scorpio Decante ruled by Pluto is manifested in strong drives for power and lust. There are deep feelings, but they are well-hidden. Those governed by this Decan can either be creative or destructive. Since they never expect things to be easy, they are rarely surprised or caught off-guard, and possess impressive fortitude to overcome most odds. May reinvent themselves periodically. Stubborn and persistent, these are individuals who grit their teeth and will usually finish whatever they start. This period is the most forceful and self-willed period of the entire year. Nothing can stop the drive associated with this Decan, whether for bad or good. Usually it’s for the good as those governed here are generally too virile to be selfish. Strong will is accompanied by staying power and a desire to explore the unknown. There is also a love and appreciation of family and friends associated with this period. A person born here can be an irresistible force who blends passion with compassion, as well as being blessed with insight, magnetism, ambition, and a knack for intimacy. Sheer single-mindedness assures that they will be a winner in love and any chosen profession. The feelings here may be complex but are always utterly genuine.

Scorpio Decan 2: Nov 2 to 11

Known as the Week of Depth, the motto here is “Transmutation.” The influence of Neptune may prompt them to seek an escape through some form of addiction, such as drugs or gambling. The heart is very tender and needs careful handling. This is an individual who will search for a soul mate until one is found, but they will need to be very careful chosing friends and companions or suffer the consequences. Medicine and healing arts are perfect for them. It’s crucial that they receive unconditional love and have a loyal, loving mate who will reinforce self-esteem. Although driven, those ruled by this Decante possess a streak of charity and self-sacrifice. They seek job satisfaction above prestige. Arousing and mysterious, empathetic and faith-inspiring, they make for exceptional life-partners, which is in part due to their love of and indulgence in sexual fantasies.

Scorpio Decan 3: Nov 12 to 22
