Scorpio is typically described in one word: intense. Deeply emotional and emotionally complex, Scorpio possesses an incredible charisma that attracts and stimulates others, who always want to know, Who is that behind the intriguing mystery? That's the great question: Who lives behind the sexy, alluring yet impregnable persona Scorpio portrays? The answer isn't an easy one to find. Most Scorpios like to keep their secrets, and perhaps they couldn't tell you even if they wanted to; their constantly rising and falling emotional responses often prove confusing at best. Their driving pursuit, however, is connection. It's what gives them their reputation for being amazing lovers and what makes them so intense in both romantic and platonic relationships. Behind that drive to connect, however, is a driving sense of insecurity. Scorpio is afraid that if it disconnects from others, the disconnection will be complete and irrevocable. This is the reason why Scorpio has developed such an elaborate system of maintaining engagement, complete with secrets and allusions, manipulations and occasional rages and that Scorpion's sting that can lash out whenever Scorpio gets its feelings hurt.
All this takes up a lot of time and energy, to say the least. Scorpio's Karmic task is to learn to relax and let go of its fear of abandonment and being alone. If Scorpio can learn that to disconnect isn't necessarily permanent, there would be less of a need for manipulative or vindictive behavior; of course, the only way to learn that lesson is to let go, which may be far easier said than done. Scorpio tends to be one of the most possessive, jealous and suspicious Signs of the Zodiac. Those born under its influence possess a heightened sense of secrets and are always trying to sniff out what's hidden. However, other Signs may be more forthright and direct, meaning everything is out in the open but Scorpios will try to find out the "real" truth anyway, perhaps even to the point of creating a secret or a lie where there isn't one. Scorpios must learn the value of trust and privacy. Allow friends and lovers to feel trusted and trustworthy; allow them to choose which parts of themselves to share and which to keep private.
One reason it may be hard to trust others is that we are afraid we can't trust ourselves to withstand being hurt or taken advantage of. When something like that happens to Scorpio, its Scorpionic instinct is to get revenge. Scorpio is not a malicious Sign, mind you; it simply has an incredibly complex emotional life and tends to be at the mercy of those emotions. Scorpio must learn to self-regulate more effectively, to resist the urge to lash out when hurt, to rise above pettiness and manipulation. Learn to forgive and forget, since holding on to anger and grudges improves nothing for anyone.
These lessons are difficult to learn, however. In our struggles toward personal freedom, it helps to get inspiration from others who have already mastered what we are trying to learn. Aquarius possesses the emotional self-sufficiency and calm demeanor that Scorpio may lack; it would be unhealthy to try to stifle emotions, but it is important to be able to control one's actions in response. Taurus, Scorpio's Opposite Sign in the Zodiac, can teach Scorpio about honesty and directness; Leo can teach Scorpio to be warm and openhearted toward loved ones, rather than suspicious or demanding.

Those born under a Sagittarius Sun are some of the happiest, most optimistic people around as long as they feel free and unrestricted. They are truth-seekers who want to discover everything the Universe has to offer; they pursue this goal through traveling, meeting new people, tasting new foods, reading new books and theories, and they love it all, as all of it contributes to their feeling of coming closer to some ultimate knowledge.
Trouble for a Sagittarius comes when restrictions, responsibilities and expectations start to pile up, as they inevitably do. To Sagittarius, maintaining a steady job or relationship is synonymous with being tied down. Sag has the mistaken idea that commitment is a reduction in that all-important freedom. Its Karmic lesson, then, is to learn that commitment and freedom are actually two separate entities that don't have to be mutually exclusive. Commitment is about dignity, integrity, keeping one's word all high-minded ideals that Sagittarius normally prizes.
Taoism teaches that only through accepting and bearing responsibility can one be truly free; Sagittarius is likely to be very familiar not only with Taoism but with many other religions and schools of thought as well, as religion and philosophy are two of Sagittarius's greatest interests. Along with all these mental pursuits, however, comes the tendency to be dogmatic and argumentative. Sagittarius may even like to argue just for the sake of argument; could this be a way of showing off that superior intellect to others who may not be so educated or philosophically-minded? Beyond simple argument, Sagittarius, a Fire Sign, can actually be too fiery those born under its influence can be hot-headed, losing their tempers at the slightest provocation. Taoism, Buddhism and other Eastern philosophies could actually have a lot to offer Sagittarians in learning to be peaceful, humble and passive.
Fiery Sag also tends to be a risk-taker; all that travel and constant adventure lends this Sign a real taste for thrills. But like its tendency to argue, Sagittarius's risk-taking may be only for its own sake, not for any actual benefit or particular outcome. Aside from kindness and love, anything done solely for its own sake is likely to be an empty pursuit. Furthermore, taking risks can have disastrous outcomes; Sagittarius must learn which risks are worth taking and which are better avoided. This kind of caution and self-restraint can be learned from Sag's Virgo friends, who have mastered the art of using careful analysis to determine a course of action, rather than impulse and intrigue.
In fact, people-loving Sagittarius would do well to look to others to learn many of its Karmic lessons. Pisces possesses the compassion and empathy that Sag may lack; since Sagittarius tends to equate emotional connection with dependency and restriction, those born under its influence can have an air of unemotional interest in others' problems and worries. Sag tends to listen to people's problems in order to learn more, but not so much to make others feel heard, comforted and understood. This tendency comes from that overarching thirst for knowledge; Sagittarius can learn from fun, carefree Gemini about how to avoid becoming dogmatic, as well as how to take the pursuit of knowledge a bit more lightly.

I prefer this one:
Scorpios are the most intense, profound, powerful characters in the zodiac. Even when they appear self-controlled and calm there is a seething intensity of emotional energy under the placid exterior. They are like the volcano not far under the surface of a calm sea, it may burst into eruption at any moment. But those of us who are particularly perceptive will be aware of the harnessed aggression, the immense forcefulness, magnetic intensity, and often strangely hypnotic personality under the tranquil, but watchful composure of Scorpio. In conventional social gatherings they are pleasant to be with, thoughtful in conversation, dignified, and reserved, yet affable and courteous; they sometimes possess penetrating eyes which make their shyer companions feel naked and defenseless before them.
In their everyday behavior they give the appearance of being withdrawn from the center of activity, yet those who know them will recognize the watchfulness that is part of their character. They need great self-discipline, because they are able to recognize the qualities in themselves that make them different from other humans, and to know their utterly conventional natures can be used for great good, or great evil. Their tenacity and willpower are immense, their depth of character and passionate conviction overwhelming, yet they are deeply sensitive and easily moved by their emotions. Their sensitivity, together with a propensity for extreme likes and dislikes make them easily hurt, quick to detect insult or injury to themselves (often when none is intended) and easily aroused to ferocious anger. This may express itself in such destructive speech or action that they make lifelong enemies by their outspokenness, for they find it difficult not to be overly critical of anything or anyone to whom they take a dislike.
They can harness their abundant energy constructively, tempering their self-confidence with shrewdness and their ambition with magnanimity toward others provided they like them. They relate to fellow workers only as leaders and can be blunt to those they dislike to the point of cruelty. In fact they are not above expressing vindictiveness in deliberate cruelty. They are too demanding, too unforgiving of faults in others, perhaps because they are not aware of the shortcomings within themselves, and extravagantly express their self-disgust in unreasonable resentment against their fellows. They do, however, make excellent friends, provided that their companions do nothing to impugn the honor of which Scorpios are very jealous. Part of the negative side of the Scorpio nature is a tendency to discard friends once they cease to be useful, but the decent native is aware of, and fights this tendency.

This one just says I worry to much 
With its analytical mind and penchant for helping others, Virgo is one of the most selflessly virtuous Signs of the Zodiac. The Sign of the Virgin possesses high-minded ideals toward which it works constantly; second-best just doesn't satisfy Virgo, who requires perfection in all things. Virgos apply the same high standards to themselves that they do to their friends and loved ones; at least they're fair about their scrutiny and diligent criticisms! That's right, Virgo tends to place too high a premium on perfection, and sometimes can't seem to let well enough alone. Others can begin to feel a bit hen-pecked when Virgo's around, due to the Virgoan tendency to criticize constantly and focus on minor (often unimportant) details.
All this nervous attention to detail can leave Virgo itself feeling a bit harried at the day's end. The Sign of Virgo rules the stomach and digestive tract; have you ever developed a stomachache just from worrying too much? That's how many Virgos feel all the time! They may work themselves into a self-critical, nervous frenzy and be simply unable to unwind. But what is all this focus on perfection for? Perfection isn't exactly a human trait; as humans, we tend to verge more toward chaos, or at least toward somewhere in the middle. Even Virgo interestingly enough, when Virgo is out of synch it might actually become quite sloppy. As do all extremes, Virgo's obsession with perfection needs balancing.
Furthermore, and perhaps more importantly, all this hyper-attention to detail may be drawing Virgo's attention away from more important matters or from larger truths. That old saying, "Can't see the forest for the trees," could easily apply to Virgo. Could this be on purpose? Virgos should think about whether they might be focusing on the details as a way to avoid the truth of the bigger picture. But they should also try not to let that suggestion send them into an over-analytical frenzy! Virgo's truly analytical mind is both a strength and a weakness. The same quality that makes Virgos wonderful accountants, lawyers and researchers may also make them think too hard about things not deserving of so much attention. Virgo must try to learn to distinguish what does merit close scrutiny and criticism (such as a public policy that hurts more than it helps) from what doesn't (such as the way your family takes off their shoes by the front door and leaves them there in a messy pile).
There are some very real health risks in never allowing oneself to relax and unwind. Virgo can be something of a hypochondriac, and hypochondria can actually lead to real medical conditions. And even if it doesn't, what's the fun of constantly worrying about possible health problems? Virgo must learn to relax and let go, which may be easier said than done. Those born under its exacting influence may have to look to other Signs of the Zodiac for help and inspiration. For example, Sagittarius is perfectly able to see that forest that Virgo is never able to see for all the trees. As the Sign of the Philosopher, Sagittarius concerns itself with the larger truths that Virgo may miss or not understand. Virgo can look to Pisces to learn to stop criticizing and start understanding the reasons behind others' shortcomings; perhaps criticism isn't the best way to help someone. And Gemini can inspire Virgo to relax and use that sharp mind for fun, not toil.
