Emotional Exorcism
Emotions are a source of energy for Scorpio. Wherever emotion goes, it makes passion, desire, love, and collision flow. It’s difficult for Scorpios not to pour their whole spirit into their emotional pursuits, they can become unwillingly attached, infatuated, and consumed. Whatever they become emotional about can seem like a matter of life and death. Scorpios are naturally impassioned, and when their hearts have locked forces their resolve is inspiringly remarkable. This is why Scorpios can become explosive, commanding, and ferocious in debate and ensuring the message is heard. They can become intensely frustrated and agitated toward people who disrespect their craft, conviction, or calling. They put their heart and soul into these pursuits, they represent a part of themselves released from the shackles and exposed vulnerably to the world. The Scorpio’s emotions are like a morse-code, and next to impossible for anyone but the Scorpio to decode, but this can only follow intense self-reflection and painful self-honesty. Emotions intrude like masked assassins and the message is obscure, complex, and lurid. They can become very good at containing these in the short term, but that dense and opaque fire is always burning behind the eyes. They are forced to tear themselves to shreds with psychological incisions to source the mood, the emotion, and the wound, learning to decrypt their emotions like a psychic psychiatrist and read them like it’s someone else’s diary. There are multiple layers and currents in every emotion, and the mood prevails long after the physical experience has vanished. This can be demanding, so it’s common for Scorpios to shut themselves off from people for days and crawl into spaces that nobody knows.
