Scorpio Placements 🦂
I dunno why, but I just got this urge to talk about Scorpio placements. It hit me right in the gut.
These interpretations are based on my own experience with these placements and tropical astrology interpretations.
"Be like water making its way through cracks. Do not be assertive, but adjust to the object, and you shall find a way around or through it. If nothing within you stays rigid, outward things will disclose themselves.
Empty your mind, be formless. Shapeless, like water. If you put water into a cup, it becomes the cup. You put water into a bottle and it becomes the bottle. You put it in a teapot, it becomes the teapot. Now, water can flow or it can crash. Be water, my friend."
- Bruce Lee (Scorpio Moon, Mercury, Venus & Mars)
🦂 Scorpio Mars individuals are masters at channeling their energy. They are direct and yet elusive. Singular and yet they blend into everything. This is their power.
Power. Scorpio Mars is about power. Not just "sex", not just "intensity". They're about power.
Scorpio Mars is misinterpreted almost all the time. Whenever I have read about Scorpio Mars, the focus is always sexual in nature but Mars, as a planet, does not just strictly represent sex.
Yes, Mars represents our survival, which procreation is definitely a factor of but Mars in astrology also represents our ways of release and how we approach what we want. It's how we go after what we desire in life which can be argued as part of our survival instinct because if we didn't have any ambition, if we didn't go after anything, we would just waste away.
Now, when Mars is in the sign of Scorpio, the ability for individuals with this placement to go after what Mars requires of themselves is so strongly ingrained in them that it's intimidating for those around them.
It's intimidating to an obscene degree. People can feel like they're prey around individuals with this Mars placement.
People with Scorpio Mars have a lot of creative energy. They're inventive and innovative. They're productive and they're not wasteful and this is attractive. People are attracted to this energy individuals with Scorpio Mars possess, and they translate this energy to something purely sexual.
Although, in all honesty, I've noticed a lot of individuals with this placement who do practice sexual transmutation, whereby any sexual energy an individual possesses is transformed and channeled into other things.
A lot of them do this because being intimate like that is taken so seriously and people can just be straight up nasty. Who needs the headache? Let's get this bread instead!
This drive, ambition, energy, and power they eminent is attractive af to those around them because this ensures they get shit done. Who doesn't like someone who gets shit done??????
This is a get-shit-done Mars. Stop tryna smash with them.
🦂 Scorpio placements are transformative placements. Individuals find themselves constantly on the cusp of unearthing a new version of themselves they didn't previously think was possible and yet it always feels so right to be this new version of themselves.
Why?
They're like onions.
Layers and layers of different versions of themselves.
Their identity, their mode of expression may be fixed in that moment but it is forever unraveling.
Anyone who has a Scorpio placement, especially in their Moon and Mars, always feels the subtle shifts towards a new transformation more than any other Scorpio placement.
Well, why is that?
The Moon and Mars are instinctual planets. They represent our base needs, the things we are before the world and society told us who we should be.
This desire for change and transformation, and dare I say, upheaval in a sense, seems to be a basic need of those with Scorpio Mars and Moon. It's a carnal obsession of theirs to always strip themselves bare in the face of enlightenment
The story of the goddess, Inanna's decent into the Underworld is a process those with Scorpio Mars and Moon must constantly live through, whether they like it or not. They know that they will always find themselves having to die to self, to transform, to be reborn.
Individuals with their Sun in Scorpio handle this rebirth and transformational energy a lot better. This desire to transform is what they're learning to become. They have the chance to temper and tame this energy, and not be forced to be a slave to it for years before surrendering to it. It just feels right for them to grow into this way of being.
The apple seed knows it's meant to be an apple, there's no conflict in who they're supposed to be.
🦂 Scorpio is represented by the snake, the scorpion, the eagle, the phoenix but in my opinion it's also represented by the butterfly.
Caterpillars undergo a process of metamorphosis.
This process breaks them down completely, turning them into mush. From this mush, they're reconstructed, turning into a butterfly before eventually emerging from their cocoon.
Whenever individuals with Scorpio placements undergo their own metamorphosis, they find themselves reevaluating every single aspect of their lives. They scrutinize themselves and their goals and their relationships, and whatever isn't working has got to go.
Coming out of this processes can be a bit daunting. They like it way more than they let on, but unfortunately, like the butterfly, the outside world can't help much in getting them out of this space.
They need to find their way out themselves.
When butterflies emerge from their cocoon, the struggle to get out is what makes their wings stronger. If anyone were to try and help the butterfly emerge, they take away their opportunity to strengthen their wings.
🦂 It's safe to say, Scorpio placements are extremely independent. They really love their independence. They love doing their own thing and being their own person.
🦂 People with Scorpio Risings often get a lot of comments about their eyes and how intense they look. "You look so intimidating" Like, no, bitch, you're just weak!
🦂 Scorpio Mercury is the epitome of the devil's advocate.
"Are you really who you say you are? Do you really believe in what you say you do? Do you really practice what you preach? Well, if you do, you wouldn't mind a couple of questions, now would you?"
They desperately want to cut through the bullshit and yet the only way to do that is to truly understand what said bullshit is.
Talking to them can feel like you're the ant under the microscope. You'll feel the subtle changes in their energy as they have a rather "harmless" conversation. A conversation you feel is not harmless at all.
You can't help but feel like you're giving all of yourself away talking to them.
🦂 Scorpio Lilith is ethereal. They're untameable and they find themselves meeting people who can't help but try to tame them, which always backfires terribly. It's like they're protected by Lilith herself.
"And I will call upon my chaos and it'll wreck the minds of anyone who dare to tame me."
