Hi all,
I am still a newbie in astrology, but I find it interesting that scorpios seem to attract much more stereotypes than other signs.
I am not saying scorpios are pastel-coloured little angels, but do depth and intensity really have to mean that we are all mere puppets of our impulses and emotions?
How come, then, that the most destructive people in human history were coming from all kinds of signs, shouldn't the vast majority be scorpios?
Why is it that the evil of a scorpio (like Rommel) is "typical" of that sign but the evil of a leo (Mussolini or Castro), an aquarius (Kim Jong-il), a sagittarius (Stalin), an aries (Hitler) etc is not "typical" at all?
Why is it that when you meet a "bad" scorpio, then they are a typical scorpio, while the "badnesss" of a leo, an aquarius, a sagittarius or an aries are almost always due to other factors of the chart as if there was no inherent evil (or goodness) in all signs (and people)?
Are scorpios really so much more frequently victims of their own unconscious or do they really victimize others so much more frequently than the other signs, or is it just easier to project on them (as a group, and as individuals) certain aspects of being human that we are not so comfortable with?
Is it because we are at home in the dusk and the dark where things come to a life invisible by the light of day? Does the night merely hide your familiar world, doesn't it also allow your eyes to observe your beloved stars?
