WESTERN
Western Astrology has originating roots at least as far back as Babylonia and is historically
based on Ptolemy’s work, the “Tetrabiblos”, from the 2nd century. This system of assessing
the cosmos has been practiced for thousands of years in Arabia and Europe. Western
Astrology uses the “tropical” ecliptic coordinate system, and thus the constellations are
based on the path of the Sun as seen from Earth. The constellation where the Sun was
located at your birth conveys the encodings that drive your will and personality.

The Basics
Scorpio is the eighth sign of the 12-sign 360º Zodiac
(the band of constellations as seen from earth).
Thus, Scorpio represents the eighth stage or cycle
of life: it is here to catalyze transformation through
depth and truth.
Scorpio is one of four signs that is “fixed” in nature
(not “cardinal or “mutable”): thus, you as Scorpio
embody fixed functionality.
Scorpio is one of three signs that imbues the qualities of the element of “water”: thus, you as
Scorpio embody the characteristics of water.
About your Fixed nature: (from Astrologer Susan Miller) “The role of the Fixed signs is to maintain,
uphold and defend positions, responsibilities, goals or desires in everyday situations. These signs are
the least welcoming of change. Their role in the zodiac is to preserve tradition. Fixed signs are not
easily distracted--they keep their hands on the steering wheel and their eyes on the road. They
can be a bit stubborn or stuck in a rut, a down side of their ability to stay the course. Yet these signs
are valued for their consistent, loyal, devoted, reliable and patient natures. Yes, they do hold
strong opinions and at times they can be inflexible, but there are some areas in life that those traits
are needed and even encouraged.”
About your Scorpio encoding: (from Astrologer Susan Miller)
“Due to the Water element of this sign, Scorpio's role is to
strengthen emotions and feelings--theirs and others--and
make them permanent... their goal is to get others to reach
a final agreement, commit to a strategy, and move
forward. Scorpio's need for control can make them jealous
or possessive. This can be a charming or not-so-charming
trait, depending on whether or not they go off the deep
end with it... Scorpios work in purposeful ways. You can
always sense a wellspring of power simmering just under
the surface... Their Fixed nature can be maddening, yet
their steadfast loyalty to those they love is also one of their
endearing qualities. Their intense, smoldering passion
(Water sign) makes them mesmerizing.”

Change – transformation and transmutation – is the only constancy to Life. Although fixed,
you as Scorpio powerfully catalyze change through unveiling truths
previously kept in shadow and mystery.
Scorpio Affirmation from Astrologer Elizabeth Jones
I acknowledge the power that is within me, knowing that the source is Divine.
I honor all others, trusting that they are exactly where they must be.
I am transformed and renewed by the magic and mystery that is now and eternal.
I know that peace is at the core of my being.
When the whole of these qualities and patterns are recognized, accepted and allowed to
express and evolve naturally, you are optimally aligned with your intrinsic authentic
nature. This is when maturation will emerge and you will be able to
shine your light with ease.
