This all made a lot of sense to me. I've always felt very connected to my sun sign Scorpio, probably because that Pluto is in conjunction and amplifies it.
I had a lot of early childhood trauma, mostly within my home life. My only loss of a loved one was my father from my life around the age of 7. I was very lonely but for my relationship with my mother, I found I couldn't relate to most other kids because of that ability to see through them. Luckily for me, in grade 7 I gained 4 classmates that I related well to (they had similar interests and abilities). Which got me through a lot, and dispelled my loneliness.
I would say though that my extreme empathy has made it very difficult for me(not them) in many social situations, and hiding this information I pick up on and am not supposed to have is often necessary and exhausting. Especially since troubled people love to find and use me as their free therapist-whether we're in the middle of an important lecture or not!
I most definitely require emotional connection and openness in my relationships or I feel I'm wasting my time. Luckily I don't get overbearing-even when in the throes of love haha I wouldn't say obsessive either, but sometimes fixated.
I don't often feel disconnected from the world at large, but again I find it impossible to connect to individuals who are not perceptive or emotionally available.
For me, the aspects of Scorpio that seem very heightened are: Observant, loyalty, secretive, independent, unpredictable, complicated, emotional, intuitive, sensitive, researcher, depth, flexibility, intensity, self-control, interest in the occult, understanding of psychology.
Many of these positive attributes are borderline faults or problems, such as loyalty, intuitive, and self-control.
I am a recent graduate with a BAA in Illustration, I minored in psychology. I am now successfully self employed as an artist, and training to be a part time color therapist. I'm 25 and female. I ran a support group in my college for the overflow of students needing counseling, and have often been told I should have been a psychiatrist instead. For me though, it would be too exhausting to do that full time. Again because of the over-blown empathy and intuition.
